Amendment to Federal Airways Amber 15 (A-15), V-444, J-502, J-
511, and Extension of Canadian Area Navigation Routes Q-902 and Q-811; 
Alaska

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This action corrects a final rule published by the FAA in the 
Federal Register on July 15, 2021. This action amends Federal airways, 
A-15, V-444, J-502, and J-511 in Alaska. It also establishes an 
extension of two Canadian Area Navigation Q routes, Q-811, and Q-902. 
The modifications are necessary due to the decommissioning of the 
Burwash Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) in Yukon Territory, Canada, which 
provides navigation guidance for portions of the affected routes. The 
Burwash NDB was decommissioned effective March 26, 2020 due to ongoing 
maintenance problems and logistic issues.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No. 
FAA-2020-0567 in the Federal Register (85 FR 38799; June 29, 2020), a 
supplemental NPRM (85 FR 60108; September 24, 2020) and a final rule 
(86 FR 37235; July 15, 2021), amending Federal airways V-15, V-444, jet 
routes J-502, and J-511, and establishing an extension of two Canadian 
Area Navigation Q routes, Q-811, and Q-902. The modifications are 
necessary due to the decommissioning of the Burwash Non-Directional 
Beacon (NDB) in Yukon Territory, Canada, which provides navigation 
guidance for portions of the affected routes. Subsequent to the 
publication, it was determined that exclusionary language, ``excluding 
the airspace within Canada'' was included in The Rule section, but was 
not included in the legal descriptions for Q-902, and Q-811. This rule 
corrects that error by including ``excluding the airspace within 
Canada'' below the line containing IGSOM, CA in the Q-811 legal 
description and below the line containing KOTZEBUE, AK (OTZ) in the Q-
902 legal description. This is an editorial change only and does not 
alter the alignment of the route as shown on aeronautical charts, and 
does not affect the use of the route by aircraft.
    Canadian Area Navigation Routes are published in paragraph 2007 of 
FAA Order 7400.11E dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15, 
2020, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Canadian 
Area Navigation Routes listed in this document will be subsequently 
published in the Order.

ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists Class A,
