Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration • 14 CFR Part 71 • [Docket No. FAA-2021-1189; Airspace Docket No. 21-AGL-40] • RIN 2120-AA66 AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: This action establishes area navigation (RNAV) route T-768 in the northcentral United States (U.S.). The new T-768 would compensate for the removal of VOR Federal airway V-242 due to the decommissioning of the Atikokan, Ontario (ON), Canada, Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) navigational aid (NAVAID) accomplished as part of NAV CANADA's Airspace Modernization Program. The new T-768 in U.S. airspace also connects to NAV CANADA's existing T-768 RNAV route and supports cross border connectivity. Additionally, the new route would expand the availability of RNAV routing in support of transitioning the National Airspace System (NAS) from ground-based to satellite-based navigation. DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, September 8, 2022. The Director of the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order JO 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.
