# Proposed Establishment of United States Area Navigation (RNAV) Route T-384; Eagle, AK
**AGENCY:**
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
**ACTION:**
Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM); withdrawal.
**SUMMARY:**
The FAA is withdrawing the NPRM published in the *Federal Register* on October 25, 2021, proposing to establish RNAV route T-384 in the vicinity of Eagle, AK, in support of a large and comprehensive T-route modernization project for the state of Alaska. Subsequent to the NPRM, the FAA determined during a flight check inspection that reliable and continuous two-way VHF communications are not possible on the proposed route and withdrawal of the NPRM is warranted.
**DATES:**
As of November 4, 2022, the proposed rule published October 25, 2021 (86 FR 58822), is withdrawn.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
**History**
The FAA published a NPRM in the *Federal Register* for Docket No. FAA-2021-0858 (86 FR 58822; October 25, 2021). The NPRM proposed to establish RNAV route T-384 in support of a large and comprehensive T-route modernization project for the state of Alaska. The proposed T-route would transition the Alaskan enroute navigation structure from dependency on Non-Directional Beacons (NDBs), move to develop and improve the RNAV route structure, and offer routing in an area where published routes do not exist. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments were received.
However, when the FAA conducted the associated flight inspection activities necessary to establish the proposed T-384, the flight inspection revealed that reliable and continuous two-way VHF communications are not possible on the route
**FAA Conclusions**
The FAA has reviewed the project to establish T-384 and determined that additional communications facilities are necessary to ensure reliable and continuous two-way VHF communications on the route; therefore, the NPRM proposing to establish T-384 is withdrawn.
