Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 237 / Friday, December 11, 2009 / Rules and Regulations
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 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 amends a portion of the en route
structure to enhance the safe and
efficient use of the NAS in Florida.

On Friday, October 23, 2009, the FAA
published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to revise
area navigation route Q–108 (74 FR
54766). Interested parties were invited
to participate in this rulemaking effort
by submitting written comments on the
proposal. No comments were received.
The Rule
The FAA is amending Title 14, Code
of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71
by revising the description of high
altitude RNAV route Q–108. The route
currently extends between the GADAY
and CLAWZ waypoints. This action
realigns the route to terminate at the
HKUNA WP, instead of CLAWZ, where
it will join the PIGLT TWO standard
terminal arrival (STAR) serving the
Orlando International Airport, FL. In
addition, two new WPs, IZZEY and
FRNKS, are added to Q–108 between
GADAY and HKUNA. This change
shifts the alignment of Q–108 slightly to
the south of its current track. This
revision enhances the efficiency of the
route structure in the northern Florida
area.
High altitude RNAV routes are
published in paragraph 2006 of FAA
Order 7400.9T dated August 27, 2009,
and effective September 15, 2009, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The RNAV route listed in this
document will be subsequently
published 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

Revision of Colored Federal Airways;

AGENCY: Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: This action revises two
Colored Federal Airways, Green 16 (G–
16), and Blue 26 (B–26), in Alaska. The
FAA is taking this action in preparation
of the eventual decommissioning of the
Barter Island (BTI) Non-directional
Beacon (NDB) at the Village of Kaktovik,
Alaska.
DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, February 11,

reference action under 1 CFR part 51,
subject to the annual revision of FAA

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On October 5, 2009, the FAA
published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
to establish two Colored Federal
Airways in Alaska (74 FR 51098).
PO 00000

Sfmt 4700
Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on this
proposal. No comments were received
in response to the NPRM. The NPRM
inadvertently stated that T–73 was
established to continue IFR service to
the Village of Kaktovik, Alaska, it
should have read T–273. With the
exception of this editorial change, this
amendment is the same as that
published in the notice of proposed
rulemaking.
The Rule
This action amends Title 14, Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71, by
revising two Colored Federal Airways,
G–16 and B–26 by removing the
segment to the BTI NDB from each
airway description. In a separate action,
one Area Navigation (RNAV) route
T–228 was revised, and T–273 was
established to continue IFR service to
the Village of Kaktovik, Alaska. The BTI
NDB decommissioning proposal was
publicly circulated in notice number
06–AAL–49NR. After reviewing public
comment, the FAA decided that keeping
the NDB was not feasible and that it
should be decommissioned.
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

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

High altitude RNAV routes are published in paragraph 2006 of FAA

which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The RNAV route
listed in this document will be subsequently published in the Order.
The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and

Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory

under Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulatory Policies and

FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the

as it amends a portion of the en route structure to enhance the safe
and efficient use of the NAS in northern Florida .
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

expected to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts,
and no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
