ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: This action revokes the Colored Federal airway Red 1 (R-1) in the vicinity of King Salmon, AK, due to the airway no longer being used by pilots as the overlaying United States Area Navigation (RNAV) route T-230 provides better navigation capability with a lower minimum enroute altitude (MEA).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Authority for This Rulemaking The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority as it modifies the route structure as necessary to preserve the safe and efficient flow of air traffic within the National Airspace System (NAS). History The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for Docket No. FAA-2022-0765 in the Federal Register (87 FR 35692; June 13, 2022), revoking Colored Federal airway R-1 due to the airway no longer being used by pilots as the overlaying RNAV route T-230 provides better navigation with a lower MEA. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting comments on the proposal. No comments were received. Red Federal airways are published in paragraph 6009(b) of FAA Order JO 7400.11G, dated August 19, 2022, and effective September 15, 2022, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Colored Federal airway listed in this document will be published subsequently in FAA Order JO 7400.11. Differences From the NPRM Subsequent to the NPRM, the FAA identified an inadvertent typographical error that listed the R-1 removal under FAA Order JO 7400.11G, paragraph 6009(a) in error in the regulatory text. The correct FAA Order JO 7400.11G paragraph is paragraph 6009(b). This action corrects the FAA Order JO 7400.11G paragraph reference typographical error in the regulatory text to…
