Proposed Modification and Revocation of Federal Airways; AK

AGENCY:

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION:

Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM); withdrawal.

SUMMARY:

This action withdraws the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published in the Federal Register on November 7, 2002. In that action, the FAA proposed to modify one jet route (J-133); and revoke one jet route 711 (J-711) in Alaska. The FAA has decided to withdraw the proposed rule since the Hinchinbrook Nondirectional Radio Beacon (NDB) is being decommissioned. The replacement of the Hinchinbrook NDB and the revision of several airways in Alaska will be reflected in a subsequent NPRM.
