[Airspace Docket No. 93-AGL-2]

 

Proposed Alteration VOR Federal Airways

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action withdraws the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) 
published in the Federal Register on October 15, 1993. The NPRM 
proposed to alter the descriptions of VOR Federal Airways V-7, V-51, V-
97, and V-399, respectively, by reducing the standard width of these 
airways. The FAA has determined that withdrawal of the proposal at this 
time is warranted because a change in air traffic control (ATC) 
procedures would alleviate the need to alter these airways.

DATES: This withdrawal is effective January 12, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Patricia P. Crawford, Airspace and Obstruction Evaluation Branch (ATP-
240), Airspace-Rules and Aeronautical Information Division, Air Traffic 
Rules and Procedures Service, Federal Aviation Administration, 800

9255.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 15, 1993, a Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking was published in the Federal Register to amend 14 CFR part 
71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations to alter the descriptions of V-
7, V-51, V-97, and V-399, respectively, by reducing the standard width 
of these airways located in the states of Indiana and Illinois (58 FR 
53459). This action was proposed to redefine the lateral boundaries of 
the airways to provide for more efficient utilization of the airspace. 
No comments were received on the proposal.
    The FAA has decided to withdraw the proposal at this time to 
provide an opportunity to reexamine the operations effecting these 
airways in the Lafayette Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) and Chicago 
Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) areas. This proposal was 
initiated to simplify air traffic operations and to provide for more 
efficient utilization of that airspace. The FAA has determined that 
changing the ATC procedures and delegating to Chicago ARTCC the control 
responsibility previously handled by Lafayette ATCT would alleviate the 
need to alter these airways.
