RIN 2120-AA66

 
Proposed Revision of Federal Airway V-521

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 January 14, 2004 (69 FR 2091). In 
that notice the FAA proposed to revise a segment of Very High Frequency 
Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airway 521 (V-521), between the Lee 
County Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air 
Navigation (VORTAC), and the RINSE intersection. The change was 
proposed to support the development of a new Standard Terminal Arrival 
Route (STAR) to serve the Southwest Florida International Airport and 
the Page Field Airport at Fort Myers, FL. However, after an internal 
review, the FAA has decided not to implement the planned STAR, 
therefore, the proposed revision of V-521 is being withdrawn upon 
publication of this action.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, April 8, 2004.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 14, 2004, an NPRM was published 
in the Federal Register (69 FR 2091) proposing to amend Title 14 Code 
of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 (part 71) to revise a segment 
of V-521 between the Lee County VORTAC and the RINSE intersection. The 
change was proposed to support the development of a new STAR to serve 
the Southwest Florida International Airport and Page Field Airport at 
Fort Myers, FL. These changes were planned as part of an airspace 
redesign effort to enhance the management of air traffic operations 
into and out of southwest Florida.
    After an internal review of the plan, the FAA has decided not to 
implement the planned STAR. Consequently, the proposed revision to V-
521 is being withdrawn upon publication of this action.
