SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
The FAA published a NPRM in the Federal Register for Docket No.
FAA-2023-1203 (88 FR 34457; May 30, 2023). The NPRM proposed to amend
VOR Federal Airway V-233 and revoke VOR Federal Airway V-320 due to the
planned decommissioning of the Mount Pleasant, MI, VOR. Interested
parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments were received.
Subsequent to the NPRM, a separate rulemaking action amended VOR
Federal Airway V-233 making its amendment in this action no longer
necessary. Additionally, the Mount Pleasant VOR decommissioning has
been delayed two times from the originally targeted March 21, 2024,
effective date and is being delayed a third time to July 2026 to
address VOR navigational signal coverage issues at 5,000 feet above
ground level (AGL) in an area near Mount Pleasant, MI.
FAA's Conclusions
The FAA has reviewed the Mount Pleasant VOR decommissioning project
and determined further flight inspection evaluations of the Mount
Pleasant VOR and other nearby VORs must be accomplished to address the
VOR navigational signal coverage issue in the Mount Pleasant, MI, area.
The flight inspection evaluations must be completed before a final
determination regarding the retention or decommissioning of the Mount
Pleasant VOR may be made. Therefore, in light of the project delays and
required flight inspection evaluations, the NPRM is withdrawn.
The Withdrawal
Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the NPRM
published in the Federal Register on May 30, 2023 (88 FR 34457), FR
Doc. 2023-11375, is hereby withdrawn.
