SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On February 19, 2008, the FAA
published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
to establish four low altitude T-routes in
the San Francisco terminal area (73 FR
9060). Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on this
proposal to the FAA. Three comments
were received in response to the NPRM
and are discussed below. With the
exception of minor adjustments to the
longitude position of the Very High
Frequency Omnidirectional Range/
Tactical Air Navigation (VORTACs) at
Point Reyes, Sacramento, and
Woodside, this amendment is the same
as that proposed in the NPRM.

ACTION: Final rule.
ebenthall on PRODPC60 with RULES
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This action establishes four
low altitude Area Navigation (RNAV)
T-routes, designated T–257, T–259,
T–261 and T–263, in the Sacramento
and San Francisco, CA, terminal areas.
T-routes are low altitude Air Traffic
Service (ATS) routes, based on RNAV,
for use by aircraft having instrument
flight rules (IFR)-approved Global
Positioning System (GPS)/Global
Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)
equipment. The FAA is taking this
action to enhance safety and improve
the efficient use of the navigable
airspace in the Sacramento and San
Francisco, CA, terminal areas.

VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
The Aircraft Owners and Pilots
Association supports the establishment
of the low level area navigation routes.
One commenter requested that T–259 be
moved further south to avoid a heavily
used VFR flight training area or the floor
of the airway be raised to 6,500 feet for
separation from the training area.
FAA Response: The proposed T–259
overlies the existing Risti Four Arrival
route into San Francisco, which is
heavily used daily. Operation in the
Tracy practice area will continue.
Currently, participants in the practice
area contact the Northern California
TRACON (NCT) when the practice area
is being utilized. The exact location and
altitudes are coordinated at that time.
NCT avoids the area when routing IFR
traffic and the current practice will
continue.
Another commenter raised four
questions concerning operations on the
T-routes.
(1) Are there defined entry/exit points
other than the end points of the routes?
FAA Response: These routes are
available to Air Traffic Control (ATC)
the same as other airways and the
T-routes will be utilized in the same
fashion.
(2) How would a pilot destined for
Half Moon Bay (HAF) from the south
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
31021
describe their desire to leave T–257 at
an appropriate point?
FAA Response: The T-routes, as
described, are to be utilized by aircraft
overflying the terminal area, not landing
within it. An aircraft inbound to HAF
from the south would not be assigned
this route.
(3) Is it expected that a pilot from
Watsonville (WVI) could file and
receive a direct clearance to San Jose in
order to join T–259?
FAA Response: T–259 is designed to
facilitate Palo Alto and San Carlos
departures through the Class B Terminal
Area. The NCT does not plan to make
this route available to WVI departures
due to operations in and out of SJC.
(4) Will these routes be available in all
wind conditions?
FAA Response: These routes will be
available in all wind configurations.
However, dynamic re-routes based on
weather conditions is a tool always
available to ATC.
The Rule
The FAA is amending to Title 14
Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 to establish four low altitude
RNAV T-routes in the Sacramento and
San Francisco, CA, terminal areas. The
routes would be designated T–257,
T–259, T–261 and T–263, and would be
depicted on the appropriate IFR En
Route Low Altitude charts. T-routes are
low altitude RNAV ATS routes, similar
to Very High Frequency
Omnidirectional Range Federal airways,
but based on GNSS navigation. RNAVequipped aircraft capable of filing flight
plan equipment suffix ‘‘G’’ may file for
these routes.
The T-routes described in this notice
are being established to enhance safety
and to facilitate the more flexible and
efficient use of the navigable airspace
for en route IFR operations transitioning
through and around the Sacramento and
San Francisco, CA, terminal areas.
Low altitude RNAV T-routes are
published in paragraph 6011 of FAA
Order 7400.9R signed August 15, 2007,
and effective September 15, 2007, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The low altitude RNAV T-routes
listed in this document would be
published subsequently in the Order.
The FAA has determined that this
regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which
frequent and routine amendments are
necessary to keep them operationally
current. Therefore, this 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;
E:\FR\FM\30MYR1.SGM
30MYR1
31022
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 105 / Friday, May 30, 2008 / Rules and Regulations
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 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.
The FAA’s authority to issue rules
regarding aviation safety is found in
Title 49 of the United States Code.
Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator.
Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the
agency’s authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated
under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section
40103. Under that section, the FAA is
charged with prescribing regulations to
assign the use of the airspace necessary
to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation
is within the scope of that authority as
it establishes RNAV T-Routes at
Sacramento and San Francisco, CA.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this
action qualifies for categorical exclusion
under the National Environmental
Policy Act in accordance with FAA
Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental
Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’
paragraph 311a, 311b, and 311k. This
airspace action is not expected to cause
any potentially significant
environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that
warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

SUMMARY:
History
On Tuesday, February 19, 2008, the
FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR
part 71) to revise Class E airspace
upward from 700 ft. above the surface
and from 1,200 ft. above the surface at
Allakaket, AK (73 FR 9062). The action
was proposed in order to create Class E
airspace sufficient in size to contain
aircraft while executing SIAPs for the
Allakaket Airport. The Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking contained an

error in the airport location data, which
has since been corrected in this rule.
Class E controlled airspace extending
upward from 700 ft. above the surface
and from 1,200 ft. above the surface in
the Allakaket Airport area is revised by
this action.
Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written
comments on the proposal to the FAA.
No comments were received. The rule is
adopted as proposed.
The area will be depicted on
aeronautical charts for pilot reference.
The coordinates for this airspace docket
are based on North American Datum 83.
The Class E airspace areas designated as
700/1,200 ft. transition areas are
published in paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order.
describes in more detail the scope of the
agency’s authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated
under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart 1, Section
40103, Sovereignty and Use of Airspace.
Under that section, the FAA is charged
with prescribing regulations to ensure
the safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace. This regulation is
within the scope of that authority
because it creates Class E airspace
sufficient in size to contain aircraft
executing instrument procedures for the
Allakaket Airport and represents the
FAA’s continuing effort to safely and
efficiently use the navigable airspace.

rule is to provide adequate controlled
airspace for Instrument Flight Rules
(IFR) operations at the Allakaket
Airport, Allakaket, AK.
The FAA has determined that this

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On February 19, 2008, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to establish four low altitude T-
routes in the San Francisco terminal area (73 FR 9060). Interested
parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on this proposal to the FAA. Three comments
were received in response to the NPRM and are discussed below. With the
exception of minor adjustments to the longitude position of the Very
High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTACs)
at Point Reyes, Sacramento, and Woodside, this amendment is the same as
that proposed in the NPRM.
Analysis of Comments
The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association supports the
establishment of the low level area navigation routes. One commenter
requested that T-259 be moved further south to avoid a heavily used VFR
flight training area or the floor of the airway be raised to 6,500 feet
for separation from the training area.
FAA Response: The proposed T-259 overlies the existing Risti Four
Arrival route into San Francisco, which is heavily used daily.
Operation in the Tracy practice area will continue. Currently,
participants in the practice area contact the Northern California
TRACON (NCT) when the practice area is being utilized. The exact
location and altitudes are coordinated at that time. NCT avoids the
area when routing IFR traffic and the current practice will continue.
Another commenter raised four questions concerning operations on
the T-routes.
(1) Are there defined entry/exit points other than the end points
of the routes?
FAA Response: These routes are available to Air Traffic Control
(ATC) the same as other airways and the T-routes will be utilized in
the same fashion.
(2) How would a pilot destined for Half Moon Bay (HAF) from the
south describe their desire to leave T-257 at an appropriate point?
FAA Response: The T-routes, as described, are to be utilized by
aircraft overflying the terminal area, not landing within it. An
aircraft inbound to HAF from the south would not be assigned this
route.
(3) Is it expected that a pilot from Watsonville (WVI) could file
and receive a direct clearance to San Jose in order to join T-259?
FAA Response: T-259 is designed to facilitate Palo Alto and San
Carlos departures through the Class B Terminal Area. The NCT does not
plan to make this route available to WVI departures due to operations
in and out of SJC.
(4) Will these routes be available in all wind conditions?
FAA Response: These routes will be available in all wind
configurations. However, dynamic re-routes based on weather conditions
is a tool always available to ATC.
The Rule
The FAA is amending to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR) part 71 to establish four low altitude RNAV T-routes in the
Sacramento and San Francisco, CA, terminal areas. The routes would be
designated T-257, T-259, T-261 and T-263, and would be depicted on the
appropriate IFR En Route Low Altitude charts. T-routes are low altitude
RNAV ATS routes, similar to Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range
Federal airways, but based on GNSS navigation. RNAV-equipped aircraft
capable of filing flight plan equipment suffix ``G'' may file for these
routes.
The T-routes described in this notice are being established to
enhance safety and to facilitate the more flexible and efficient use of
the navigable airspace for en route IFR operations transitioning
through and around the Sacramento and San Francisco, CA, terminal
areas.
Low altitude RNAV T-routes are published in paragraph 6011 of FAA
Order 7400.9R signed August 15, 2007, and effective September 15, 2007,
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The low altitude
RNAV T-routes listed in this document would be published subsequently
in the Order.
The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this 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;
[[Page 31022]]
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 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.
The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it establishes RNAV T-Routes at Sacramento and San Francisco, CA.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 311a, 311b, and 311k. This airspace action is
not expected to cause any potentially significant environmental
impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant
preparation of an environmental assessment.
