Proposed Establishment of United States Area Navigation (RNAV) 
Route T-384; Eagle, AK

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM); withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is withdrawing the NPRM published in the Federal 
Register on October 25, 2021, proposing to establish RNAV route T-384 
in the vicinity of Eagle, AK, in support of a large and comprehensive 
T-route modernization project for the state of Alaska. Subsequent to 
the NPRM, the FAA determined during a flight check inspection that 
reliable and continuous two-way VHF communications are not possible on 
the proposed route and withdrawal of the NPRM is warranted.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    The FAA published a NPRM in the Federal Register for Docket No. 
FAA-2021-0858 (86 FR 58822; October 25, 2021). The NPRM proposed to 
establish RNAV route T-384 in support of a large and comprehensive T-
route modernization project for the state of Alaska. The proposed T-
route would transition the Alaskan enroute navigation structure from 
dependency on Non-Directional Beacons (NDBs), move to develop and 
improve the RNAV route structure, and offer routing in an

area where published routes do not exist. Interested parties were 
invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written 
comments on the proposal. No comments were received.
    However, when the FAA conducted the associated flight inspection 
activities necessary to establish the proposed T-384, the flight 
inspection revealed that reliable and continuous two-way VHF 
communications are not possible on the route

FAA Conclusions

    The FAA has reviewed the project to establish T-384 and determined 
that additional communications facilities are necessary to ensure 
reliable and continuous two-way VHF communications on the route; 
therefore, the NPRM proposing to establish T-384 is withdrawn.
