    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule to amend the Alaskan Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airway V-510 due to the decommissioning of the Anvik Nondirectional Radio Beacon (NDB) in Alaska. This amendment extends V-510 between McGrath, AK, and Big Lake, AK. The rule is set to take effect on June 12, 2025. The FAA determined that this change will not significantly impact the environment or incur adverse economic effects.
