History
As part of the on-going National
Airspace Redesign (NAR), the FAA
implemented the HAR Program. This
program focuses on developing and
implementing improvements in
navigation structure and operating
methods to allow more flexible and
efficient en route operations in the high
E:\FR\FM\25MYP1.SGM
25MYP1
30032
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 100 / Wednesday, May 25, 2005 / Proposed Rules
altitude airspace environment. New
RNAV routes provide greater freedom to
properly equipped users and achieves
the economic benefits of flying user
selected non-restrictive routings. The
new RNAV routes will be identified by
the letter prefix ‘‘Q,’’ followed by a
number consisting of from one to three
digits. The International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) has allocated the
‘‘Q’’ prefix, along with the number set
one through 499, for use by the U.S. for
designating domestic RNAV routes.
Related Rulemaking
On April 8, 2003, by final rule the
FAA published in the Federal Register
the Designation of Class A, B, C, D, and
E Airspace Areas; Air Traffic Service
Routes, and Reporting Points (68 FR
16943). The purpose of the rule was to
facilitate the establishment of RNAV
routes in the NAS for use by aircraft
with advanced navigation system
capabilities. This rule adopted certain
amendments proposed in Notice No.
02–20, RNAV and Miscellaneous
Amendments. For example, the rule
revised and adopted several definitions
contained in FAA regulations, including
Air Traffic Service Routes, to comport
with ICAO definitions; and reorganized
the structure of FAA regulations
concerning the designation of Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas; airways;
routes; and reporting points. On May 9,
2003, a final rule was published in the
Federal Register establishing new
RNAV routes (68 FR 24864). This rule,
which supports Phase I of the HAR,
established 11 new RNAV routes along
high-density air traffic tracks in the
western and north central U.S.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing to amend Title
14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 (part 71) to establish three
RNAV routes and revise two existing
routes in the Western United States
within the airspace assigned to the
Seattle and Los Angeles Air Route
Traffic Control Centers (ARTCC). These
routes were developed as part of the
HAR Program to allow more efficient
routings. They are being proposed to
enhance safety, and to facilitate the
more flexible and efficient use of the
navigable airspace for en route
instrument flight rules (IFR) operations
within the Los Angeles and Seattle
ARTCC area of responsibility.
The FAA has determined that this
proposed regulation only involves an
established body of technical
regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to
keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this proposed regulation: (1)
Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not
a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of
Transportation (DOT) Regulatory
Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034;
February 26, 1979); and (3) does not
warrant preparation of a regulatory
evaluation as the anticipated impact is
so minimal. Since this is a routine
matter that will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this proposed rule, when
promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Proposed Rulemaking Distribution
System, which describes the application
procedures.
The Proposal
This action would amend Title 14
Code of Federal Regulations, part 71 (14
CFR part 71) by establishing Class E
airspace at Chehalis-Centralia Airport,
Chehalis, WA. The establishment of a
new RNAV GPS SIAP requires
additional Class E controlled airspace.
Additional Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
of the earth is necessary for the safety
of IFR aircraft executing the new RNAV
GPS SIAPs at Chehalis-Centralia
Airport. Controlled airspace is necessary
where there is a requirement for IFR
services, which includes arrival,
departure, and transitioning to/from the
terminal or en route environment.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.9M dated August 30, 2004,
and effective September 16, 2004, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class E airspace designation
listed in this document will be
published subsequently in this order.
The FAA has determined that this
proposed regulation only involves an
established body of technical
regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to
keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this proposed regulation; (1)
is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not
a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44
FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3)
does not warrant preparation of a
regulatory evaluation as the anticipated
impact is so minimal. Since this is a
routine matter that will only affect air
traffic procedures and air navigation, it
is certified that this proposed rule
would not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

for a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11-2A, Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application
procedure.
History
As part of the on-going National Airspace Redesign (NAR), the FAA
implemented the HAR Program. This program focuses on developing and
implementing improvements in navigation structure and operating methods
to allow more flexible and efficient en route operations in the high
[[Page 30032]]
altitude airspace environment. New RNAV routes provide greater freedom
to properly equipped users and achieves the economic benefits of flying
user selected non-restrictive routings. The new RNAV routes will be
identified by the letter prefix ``Q,'' followed by a number consisting
of from one to three digits. The International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) has allocated the ``Q'' prefix, along with the
number set one through 499, for use by the U.S. for designating
domestic RNAV routes.
Related Rulemaking
On April 8, 2003, by final rule the FAA published in the Federal
Register the Designation of Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas; Air
Traffic Service Routes, and Reporting Points (68 FR 16943). The purpose
of the rule was to facilitate the establishment of RNAV routes in the
NAS for use by aircraft with advanced navigation system capabilities.
This rule adopted certain amendments proposed in Notice No. 02-20, RNAV
and Miscellaneous Amendments. For example, the rule revised and adopted
several definitions contained in FAA regulations, including Air Traffic
Service Routes, to comport with ICAO definitions; and reorganized the
structure of FAA regulations concerning the designation of Class A, B,
C, D, and E airspace areas; airways; routes; and reporting points. On
May 9, 2003, a final rule was published in the Federal Register
establishing new RNAV routes (68 FR 24864). This rule, which supports
Phase I of the HAR, established 11 new RNAV routes along high-density
air traffic tracks in the western and north central U.S.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing to amend Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) part 71 (part 71) to establish three RNAV routes and revise
two existing routes in the Western United States within the airspace
assigned to the Seattle and Los Angeles Air Route Traffic Control
Centers (ARTCC). These routes were developed as part of the HAR Program
to allow more efficient routings. They are being proposed to enhance
safety, and to facilitate the more flexible and efficient use of the
navigable airspace for en route instrument flight rules (IFR)
operations within the Los Angeles and Seattle ARTCC area of
responsibility.
The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this proposed regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a
``significant rule'' under Department of Transportation (DOT)
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this proposed rule, when promulgated, will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
The Proposed Amendment
In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation
Administration proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as follows:
PART 71--DESIGNATION OF CLASS A, B, C, D, AND E AIRSPACE AREAS; AIR
TRAFFIC SERVICE ROUTES; AND REPORTING POINTS
1. The authority citation for part 71 continues to read as follows:
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40103, 40113, 40120; E.O. 10854, 24
FR 9565, 3 CFR, 1959-1963 Comp., p. 389.
Sec. 71.1 [Amended]
2. The incorporation by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 of FAA Order
7400.9M, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 30,
2004, and effective September 16, 2004, is amended as follows:
