the application procedure.
The Proposal
This action proposes to amend Title
14, Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR), Part 71 by adding additional Class
E airspace for SIAPs operations at
Gogebic Iron County Airport, Ironwood,
MI. The area would be depicted on
appropriate aeronautical charts.
Class E airspace areas are published
in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9S, dated October 3, 2008, and
effective October 31, 2008, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class E airspace designation
listed in this document would be
published subsequently in the 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. It,
therefore, (1) Is not a ‘‘significant
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
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 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 U.S. Code.
Subtitle 1, 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 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 would add
additional controlled airspace at
Gogebic Iron County Airport, Ironwood,
MI.

System, which describes the application
procedure.
Background
The FAA is establishing RNAV routes
focusing on developing and
implementing improvements in
navigation structure and operating
methods to allow more flexible and
efficient en route operations in the
National Airspace System. RNAV routes
provide greater freedom to properly
equipped users and achieves the
economic benefits of flying userselected non-restrictive routings. RNAV
routes will be identified by the letter
prefix ‘‘Q’’ for routes flight level (FL)
180 and above, and ‘‘T’’ for routes below
FL 180 followed by a number consisting
of one to three digits. This specific effort
focuses on developing and
implementing improvements in
navigation structure for more efficient
en route operations in the Alaska
airspace environment. To help
accomplish this goal, the FAA asked for
user feedback to help place routing in
the most efficient manner. As a result,
twelve of the charted thirty three
Alaskan T routes are proposed to be
revised. Nine new T routes are proposed
to be established, along with fourteen
new Q routes. Additionally, four T
routes are proposed to be removed.
Final rules for Area Navigation routes
will contain a general route outline and
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4702

no longer contain the individual
coordinates for each navigational aid,
waypoint or fix. The coordinates will be
published in the National Flight Data
Digest and subsequently in FAA Order
7350.8 Location Identifiers.
Related Rulemaking
On April 8, 2003, the FAA published
the Designation of Class A, B, C, D, and
E Airspace Areas; Air Traffic Service
Routes, and Reporting Points rule in the
Federal Register (68 FR 16943). This
rule adopted certain amendments
proposed in Notice No. 02–20, Area
Navigation (RNAV) and Miscellaneous
Amendments. The rule revised and
adopted several definitions in FAA
regulations, including Air Traffic
Service Routes, to be in concert with
International Civil Aviation
Organization (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.
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.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) part 71 to establish fourteen
high altitude Area Navigation (RNAV)
routes, and nine low altitude RNAV
routes, in the State of Alaska.
Additionally, this action proposes to
revise one high altitude route, fourteen
low altitude routes, and remove four
existing ‘‘T’’ routes that are no longer
required. These routes 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 state of Alaska.
This proposal will improve operator
efficiency, access and safety, while
incrementally reducing dependency on
ground based navigation facilities. A
graphical representation of this proposal
is on the web (downloadable PDF file)
at: https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/
headquarters_offices/ato/service_units/
systemops/fs/alaskan/notices/
RNAV_Routes/. These areas would be
depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot
reference. The coordinates for this
airspace docket are based on North
American Datum 83.
The High Altitude RNAV Routes are
published in paragraph 2006, and the
Low Altitude RNAV Routes are
published in paragraph 6011 in FAA
Order 7400.9S, Airspace Designations
and Reporting Points, signed October 3,
2008, and effective October 31, 2008,

which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The airspace designations
listed in this document would be
published subsequently in the 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 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.
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 proposes to create Class A and E
airspace sufficient in size to contain
aircraft using the described Federal
Airways within the State of Alaska and
represents the FAA’s continuing effort
to safely and efficiently use the
navigable airspace.
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. 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.

Proposed Amendment and
Establishment of Restricted Areas and
Other Special Use Airspace, Avon Park
Air Force Range; FL
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with PROPOSALS
AGENCY: Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM).
SUMMARY: This action proposes to
restructure the special use airspace
(SUA), consisting of restricted areas and
military operations areas (MOA), at the
Avon Park Air Force Range (APAFR),
Florida. The proposed changes would
provide additional restricted airspace
needed for training in high altitude
weapons releases and other hazardous
activities, and would reconfigure the
MOAs to contain nonhazardous flight
operations. The changes would permit
more realistic training in modern tactics
to be conducted at the Range and enable
more efficient use of the National
Airspace System.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before March 30, 2009.
ADDRESSES: Send comments on this
proposal to the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, M–

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking Distribution System, which
describes the application procedure.
History
The special use airspace at the Avon
Park Air Force Range includes restricted
areas and MOAs. The restricted areas
support a variety of hazardous activities
including both ground-based and airdelivered weapons employment.
Restricted areas are regulatory airspace
areas that are designated under Title 14,
Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 73 rulemaking procedures.
Restricted areas are designated to
contain activities that may present a
hazard to aircraft. No person may
operate an aircraft within a restricted
area without the advance permission of
the using or controlling agency.
The APAFR MOAs are used primarily
as holding and maneuvering areas for
aircraft operating in the restricted areas.
MOAs are nonregulatory airspace areas
that are established administratively
and published in the National Flight
Data Digest (NFDD). MOAs are
established to separate or segregate nonhazardous military flight activities from
aircraft operating in accordance with
instrument flight rules (IFR), and to
advise pilots flying under visual flight
rules (VFR) where these activities are
conducted. IFR aircraft may be routed
through an active MOA only when air
traffic control can provide approved
separation from the MOA activity. VFR
pilots are not restricted from flying in an
active MOA, but are advised to exercise
caution while doing so. Normally, MOA
proposals are not published in a NPRM
but, instead, are advertised for public
comment through a nonrule circular
distributed by the FAA Service Center
office to aviation interests in the
affected area. When a nonrulemaking
action is an integral part of a rulemaking
action, FAA procedures allow for the
nonrulemaking proposal to be included
in the NPRM. Because the MOAs are an
integral part of the Avon Park Range, the
proposed changes are being described in
this NPRM. Comments on the proposed
MOA changes may also be submitted as

Administration, 222 West 7th Avenue, Box 14, Anchorage, AK 99513-7587.
Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for future
NPRMs should contact the FAA's Office of Rulemaking, (202) 267-9677, to
request a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11-2A, Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application
procedure.
Background
The FAA is establishing RNAV routes focusing on developing and
implementing improvements in navigation structure and operating methods
to allow more flexible and efficient en route operations in the
National Airspace System. RNAV routes provide greater freedom to
properly equipped users and achieves the economic benefits of flying
user-selected non-restrictive routings. RNAV routes will be identified
by the letter prefix ``Q'' for routes flight level (FL) 180 and above,
and ``T'' for routes below FL 180 followed by a number consisting of
one to three digits. This specific effort focuses on developing and
implementing improvements in navigation structure for more efficient en
route operations in the Alaska airspace environment. To help accomplish
this goal, the FAA asked for user feedback to help place routing in the
most efficient manner. As a result, twelve of the charted thirty three
Alaskan T routes are proposed to be revised. Nine new T routes are
proposed to be established, along with fourteen new Q routes.
Additionally, four T routes are proposed to be removed. Final rules for
Area Navigation routes will contain a general route outline and no
longer contain the individual coordinates for each navigational aid,
waypoint or fix. The coordinates will be published in the National
Flight Data Digest and subsequently in FAA Order 7350.8 Location
Identifiers.
Related Rulemaking
On April 8, 2003, the FAA published the Designation of Class A, B,
C, D, and E Airspace Areas; Air Traffic Service Routes, and Reporting
Points rule in the Federal Register (68 FR 16943). This rule adopted
certain amendments proposed in Notice No. 02-20, Area Navigation (RNAV)
and Miscellaneous Amendments. The rule revised and adopted several
definitions in FAA regulations, including Air Traffic Service Routes,
to be in concert with International Civil Aviation Organization (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. 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.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish fourteen high altitude Area
Navigation (RNAV) routes, and nine low altitude RNAV routes, in the
State of Alaska. Additionally, this action proposes to revise one high
altitude route, fourteen low altitude routes, and remove four existing
``T'' routes that are no longer required. These routes 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 state of Alaska. This proposal will
improve operator efficiency, access and safety, while incrementally
reducing dependency on ground based navigation facilities. A graphical
representation of this proposal is on the web (downloadable PDF file)
at: https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ato/
service_units/systemops/fs/alaskan/notices/RNAV_Routes/. These areas
would be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference. The
coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North American Datum
83.
The High Altitude RNAV Routes are published in paragraph 2006, and
the Low Altitude RNAV Routes are published in paragraph 6011 in FAA
Order 7400.9S, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, signed
October 3, 2008, and effective October 31, 2008,
[[Page 7014]]
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The airspace
designations listed in this document would be published subsequently in
the 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 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.
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 proposes to create Class A and E airspace sufficient in size to
contain aircraft using the described Federal Airways within the State
of Alaska and represents the FAA's continuing effort to safely and
efficiently use the navigable airspace.
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. 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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
