Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the Q–8 ANC to GAL [Revised] GAL ................................................................ ANC ............................................................... VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:45 Nov 08, 2010 Jkt 223001 proposal. No comments were received. 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 establishing two RNAV T-routes, T–267 and T–271, and modifying three RNAV T-routes and one Q-route in Alaska. In response to comments received for a NPRM published February 12, 2009, (74 FR 7012), a new T-route (T–267) is established, which will circumvent the ocean near Kotzebue, AK, allowing IFR aircraft to fly closer to the shoreline. Also, one modified T-route continues south from Frederick’s Point Nondirectional Beacon, for connectivity between Juneau and Ketchikan, AK. Two T-routes are modified to allow lower minimum en route altitudes to be flown. Additionally, one Q-route is revised to provide a more direct route between Anchorage and Galena, AK. The RNAV routes described in this rule will enhance safety, and facilitate more flexible and efficient use of the navigable airspace for en route IFR operations in Alaska. High Altitude RNAV routes are published in paragraph 2006, and Low Altitude RNAV routes are published in paragraph 6011, in FAA Order 7400.9U dated August 18, 2010, and effective September, 15, 2010, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The airspace designations listed in this document will 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 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.

Establishment and Amendment of Area Navigation (RNAV) Routes; 
Alaska

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes two and modifies four Area Navigation 
(RNAV) routes in Alaska. T and Q-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, or Distance Measuring Equipment 
(DME)/DME Inertial Reference Unit (IRU) navigation capability. The FAA 
is taking this action to enhance safety and improve the efficient use 
of the navigable airspace in Alaska.

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, January 13, 2011. 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.

Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591;

History

    On June 7, 2010, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice 
of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to establish and amend Area Navigation 
Routes in Alaska (75 FR 32120). Interested parties were invited to 
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on 
the proposal. No comments were received. 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 establishing two RNAV T-routes, T-267 and T-271, and modifying 
three RNAV T-routes and one Q-route in Alaska. In response to comments 
received for a NPRM published February 12, 2009, (74 FR 7012), a new T-
route (T-267) is established, which will circumvent the ocean near 
Kotzebue, AK, allowing IFR aircraft to fly closer to the shoreline. 
Also, one modified T-route continues south from Frederick's Point Non-
directional Beacon, for connectivity between Juneau and Ketchikan, AK. 
Two T-routes are modified to allow lower minimum en route altitudes to 
be flown. Additionally, one Q-route is revised to provide a more direct 
route between Anchorage and Galena, AK. The RNAV routes described in 
this rule will enhance safety, and facilitate more flexible and 
efficient use of the navigable airspace for en route IFR operations in 
Alaska.
    High Altitude RNAV routes are published in paragraph 2006, and Low 
Altitude RNAV routes are published in paragraph 6011, in FAA Order 
7400.9U dated August 18, 2010, and effective September, 15, 2010, which 
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The airspace designations 
listed in this document will 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 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 and amends RNAV routes in Alaska.

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.
