## Abstract

This action amends the legal descriptions of four Federal airways that use the Bellingham, WA, Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) in their route structure. Currently, the VORTAC and the International Airport share the "Bellingham" name. The fact that the VORTAC is approximately nine nautical miles (NM) north of the airport has led to confusion among users: to eliminate this confusion, the Bellingham VORTAC will be renamed the "Whatcom VORTAC," and all the airways with "Bellingham VORTAC" included in their legal descriptions will be amended to reflect the VORTAC's name change.
