Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration • 14 CFR Part 71 • [Docket No. FAA-2023-1325; Airspace Docket No. 23-AGL-17] • RIN 2120-AA66 AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION: Final rule, delay of effective date. SUMMARY: This action changes the effective date of a final rule published in the Federal Register on September 22, 2023, amending Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal airway V-36 and establishing Canadian Area Navigation (RNAV) route T-675 in the northcentral United States (U.S.). The FAA is delaying the effective date to coincide with the expected completion of the associated aeronautical data requirements for establishing all segments of Canadian RNAV route T-675 within U.S. airspace and to adopt the rule amendments concurrently. DATES: The effective date of the final rule published on September 22, 2023 (88 FR 65311) is delayed from November 30, 2023, to March 21, 2024. The Director of the Federal Register ( printed page 71991) approved this incorporation by reference action under Title 1 Code of Federal Regulations part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA JO Order 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register for Docket No. FAA-2023-1325 (88 FR 65311, September 22, 2023), amending VOR Federal airway V-36 and establishing Canadian RNAV route T-675 within U.S. airspace. In the final rule, the FAA added a cross-border route segment to T-675, at NavCanada's request, and explained the inclusion of the additional route segment as a difference from the proposed action published in the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). The effective date for that final rule is November 30, 2023. After publishing the final rule, the FAA realized that not all the necessary aeronautical data required for establishing the additional segment of Canadian RNAV route T-675 within U.S. airspace had been submitted in time or accomplished for updating the FAA's National Airspace System Resource (NASR) database to meet the November 30, 2023, effective date. The FAA has determined delaying the effective date for the entire rule prevents confusion associated with amending V-36 and establishing T-675 in Airspace Docket 23-AGL-17 with two different effective dates for two chart cycles four months apart, and ensures all of the V-36 and T-675 actions publish accurately and concurrently on the same date. The FAA expects to complete the associated aeronautical data requirements and update the NASR database for establishing all segments of Canadian RNAV route T-675 by March 21, 2024; therefore, the rule amending VOR Federal airway V-36 and establishing Canadian RNAV route T-675 within US airspace is delayed to coincide with that date. VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) and Canadian Area Navigation Routes (T-routes) are published in paragraph 6013 of FAA JO Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. This document amends the current version …
