FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
History
On April 23, 2012, the FAA published
in the Federal Register a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to
establish two new RNAV routes in the
southwestern United States (77 FR
24157).
Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the
proposal. No comments objecting to the
proposal were received.
The Rule
The FAA is amending Title 14, Code
of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71
establishing two RNAV routes,
designated T–306 and T–310, in the
southwestern United States. T–306
extends between Los Angeles, CA, and
El Paso, TX; and T–310 extends between
Tucson, AZ, and Truth or
Consequences, NM. The routes expand
the availability of RNAV within the
NAS and provides substitute route
segments for portions of VOR Federal
airways V–16 and V–202 that will be
affected by the scheduled
decommissioning of the Cochise, NM,
VORTAC in the Fall of 2012.
Low altitude RNAV routes are
published in paragraph 6011 of FAA
Order 7400.9V dated August 9, 2011,
and effective September 15, 2011, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The RNAV routes 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 RNAV routes to enhance
the safe and efficient flow of traffic in
the southwestern United States.
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulatory Information
The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment
pursuant to authority under section 4(a)
of the Administrative Procedure Act
(APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision
authorizes an agency to issue a rule
without prior notice and opportunity to
comment when the agency for good
cause finds that those procedures are
‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for not publishing a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because doing

so would be impracticable. The final
details for this event were not known to
the Coast Guard until there was
insufficient time remaining before the
event to publish an NPRM. Thus,
delaying the effective date of this rule to
wait for a comment period to run would
be impracticable because it would
inhibit the Coast Guard’s ability to
protect spectators and vessels from the
hazards associated with a maritime
fireworks display, which are discussed
further below.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal
Register. For the same reasons
discussed in the preceding paragraph,
waiting for 30 day notice period run
would be impracticable.
Background and Purpose
Between 9:45 p.m. and 10:15 p.m. on
July 4, 2012, a fireworks display will be
held on Presque Isle Bay near Erie, PA.
The Captain of the Port Buffalo has
determined that fireworks launched
proximate to a gathering of watercraft
pose a significant risk to public safety
and property. Such hazards include
premature and accidental detonations,
dangerous projectiles, and falling or
burning debris.
Discussion of Rule
With the aforementioned hazards in
mind, the Captain of the Port Buffalo
has determined that this temporary
safety zone is necessary to ensure the
safety of spectators and vessels during
the Old Fashion 4th July Fireworks.
