Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 127 / Monday, July 6, 2009 / Rules and Regulations DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Aviation Administration 14 CFR Part 71 [Docket No. FAA–2008–0926; Airspace Docket No. 08–AAL–24] RIN 2120–AA66 Establishment, Revision, and Removal of Area Navigation (RNAV) Routes; Alaska AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: This action establishes twenty two Area Navigation (RNAV) routes, and revises fourteen RNAV routes, in the State of Alaska. Additionally, this action removes four existing routes that are no longer required. Q & T-routes are 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 to improve the efficient use of the navigable airspace in Alaska. DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, August 27, 2009. The Director of the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ken McElroy, Airspace and Rules Group, Office of System Operations Airspace and AIM, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591; telephone: (202) 267–8783. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: cprice-sewell on PROD1PC69 with RULES Background On February 12, 2009, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to establish twenty three RNAV routes, and revise fourteen RNAV routes, in the State of Alaska. Additionally, this action proposed to remove four existing routes that are no longer required (74 FR 7012). Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on this proposal. Two comments were received in response to the NPRM. The first commenter proposed to amend the T–252 between Nome and Kotzebue. The commenter suggested moving the route to the East to stay closer to land. Moving the proposed T– 252 closer to the shoreline would delay VerDate Nov<24>2008 15:17 Jul 02, 2009 Jkt 217001 establishing a route that traverses Norton Sound until 2010. As a result, the FAA has decided to establish T–252 as proposed, and during the 2010 route development cycle, the FAA will evaluate establishing a route closer to the shoreline as suggested. The second comment concerned the Prince William Sound region and access to the Alaskan Native villages of Tatitlek and Chenega Bay. In order to accommodate this suggestion, the FAA would have to make the routes four miles wide instead of eight miles in order to achieve an MEA advantage over conventional routing in the area. This would make the routes restricted from public use. While this does not prevent the suggestion from being evaluated for feasibility, development of special RNAV routes falls outside the scope of this project. The FAA will consider this suggestion in future airway work. During the comment period, the FAA conducted flight inspections of the proposed routes and reviewed the results to evaluate the safety and efficiency of the proposed T route structure. Based on the results of the inspections, and on further refinements to the route designs, the FAA determined that changes are required to the description of one route and the elimination of one route proposed in the NPRM. A minor change will be made to T– 231 by adding a new point (Selawik) between Fairbanks and Kotzebue. This change will realign the route southward to pass over the Selawik VORTAC. This change will cause the route to more closely match current air traffic procedures. Additionally, proposed route T–271 will be eliminated from this rulemaking action since the FAA was unable to complete a flight inspection on T–271. Therefore, the FAA has decided not to implement T–271. With the exception of the changes described above, this amendment is the same as that proposed in the NPRM. The Rule This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by establishing fourteen high altitude RNAV routes, and eight low altitude RNAV routes, in the State of Alaska. Additionally, this action revises one high altitude route, thirteen low altitude routes, and removes four existing ‘‘T’’ routes that are no longer required. These changes will enhance safety, and facilitate the more flexible and efficient use of the navigable airspace for en route IFR operations within the State of Alaska. This action will improve operator efficiency, access and safety, while incrementally reducing PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 31845 dependency on ground based navigation facilities. The High Altitude RNAV Q–Routes are published in paragraph 2006, and the Low Altitude RNAV T–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 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; 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 E:\FR\FM\06JYR1.SGM 06JYR1 31846 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 127 / Monday, July 6, 2009 / Rules and Regulations significant environmental impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment.

Establishment, Revision, and Removal of Area Navigation (RNAV) 
Routes; Alaska

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action establishes twenty two Area Navigation (RNAV) 
routes, and revises fourteen RNAV routes, in the State of Alaska. 
Additionally, this action removes four existing routes that are no 
longer required. Q & T-routes are 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 to improve the efficient use of the navigable 
airspace in Alaska.

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, August 27, 2009. The Director of the 
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 
1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and 
publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 12, 2009, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to establish twenty three RNAV 
routes, and revise fourteen RNAV routes, in the State of Alaska. 
Additionally, this action proposed to remove four existing routes that 
are no longer required (74 FR 7012). Interested parties were invited to 
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on 
this proposal. Two comments were received in response to the NPRM.
    The first commenter proposed to amend the T-252 between Nome and 
Kotzebue. The commenter suggested moving the route to the East to stay 
closer to land. Moving the proposed T-252 closer to the shoreline would 
delay establishing a route that traverses Norton Sound until 2010. As a 
result, the FAA has decided to establish T-252 as proposed, and during 
the 2010 route development cycle, the FAA will evaluate establishing a 
route closer to the shoreline as suggested.
    The second comment concerned the Prince William Sound region and 
access to the Alaskan Native villages of Tatitlek and Chenega Bay. In 
order to accommodate this suggestion, the FAA would have to make the 
routes four miles wide instead of eight miles in order to achieve an 
MEA advantage over conventional routing in the area. This would make 
the routes restricted from public use. While this does not prevent the 
suggestion from being evaluated for feasibility, development of special 
RNAV routes falls outside the scope of this project. The FAA will 
consider this suggestion in future airway work.
    During the comment period, the FAA conducted flight inspections of 
the proposed routes and reviewed the results to evaluate the safety and 
efficiency of the proposed T route structure. Based on the results of 
the inspections, and on further refinements to the route designs, the 
FAA determined that changes are required to the description of one 
route and the elimination of one route proposed in the NPRM.
    A minor change will be made to T-231 by adding a new point 
(Selawik) between Fairbanks and Kotzebue. This change will realign the 
route southward to pass over the Selawik VORTAC. This change will cause 
the route to more closely match current air traffic procedures. 
Additionally, proposed route T-271 will be eliminated from this 
rulemaking action since the FAA was unable to complete a flight 
inspection on T-271. Therefore, the FAA has decided not to implement T-
271. With the exception of the changes described above, this amendment 
is the same as that proposed in the NPRM.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by establishing fourteen high altitude RNAV routes, and eight 
low altitude RNAV routes, in the State of Alaska. Additionally, this 
action revises one high altitude route, thirteen low altitude routes, 
and removes four existing ``T'' routes that are no longer required. 
These changes will enhance safety, and facilitate the more flexible and 
efficient use of the navigable airspace for en route IFR operations 
within the State of Alaska. This action will improve operator 
efficiency, access and safety, while incrementally reducing dependency 
on ground based navigation facilities.
    The High Altitude RNAV Q-Routes are published in paragraph 2006, 
and the Low Altitude RNAV T-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 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; 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

[[Page 31846]]

significant environmental impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances 
exist that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment.
