Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 221 / Friday, November 15, 2013 / Proposed Rules
of an Airbus Model A350–900 series
airplane fuselage skin/structure section
of sufficient size to assess any tendency
for fire propagation. The fire threat used
to represent the realistic ignition source
in the airplane would consist of a 4″ x
4″ x 9″ polyurethane foam block and 10
ml of Heptane. This ignition source
provides approximately three minutes
of flame time and would be positioned
at various points and orientations
within the mocked up installation to
impinge on those areas of the fuselage
considered to be most crucial.
This fire threat was established based
on an assessment of a range of potential
ignition sources, coupled with possible
contamination of materials. The FAA
considers this a severe fire threat,
encompassing a variety of scenarios.
However, should ignition or fire sources
of a greater severity be identified, the
special condition or its method of
compliance would need to be modified
in order to take the more severe threat
into account.
Applicability
As discussed above, these proposed
special conditions apply to Airbus
Model A350–900 series airplanes.
Should Airbus apply later for a change
to the type certificate to include another
model incorporating the same novel or
unusual design feature, the proposed
special conditions would apply to that
model as well.
Conclusion
This action affects only certain novel
or unusual design features on the Airbus
Model A350–900 series airplanes. It is
not a rule of general applicability.

Rulemaking Distribution System, which
describes the application procedure.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) part 71 to establish nine low
altitude RNAV routes (T-routes) in the
Atlanta, GA area. Since there are no
published routes currently available for
aircraft to use to circumnavigate the
busy Atlanta Metroplex airspace, the
Atlanta Air Route Traffic Control Center
(ARTCC) (ZTL) and Atlanta Terminal
Radar Approach Control (TRACON)
(A80) facilities routinely vector and
reroute aircraft around areas where high
volumes of large aircraft consistently
fly. This results in increased track miles
flown and air traffic controller and pilot
task complexity. The proposed routes
would support the Atlanta OAPM
project and provide routes through,
around and over the Atlanta Metroplex
area that are procedurally deconflicted
from arrivals, departures and other
airspace areas. The following routes are
proposed:
T–290: T–290 would provide a route
through the southern portion of the
Atlanta Metroplex area from the SCAIL,
AL, waypoint (WP), near Tallapoosa
County, AL, to the JACET, GA, WP, near
Augusta, GA.
T–292: T–292 would provide a route
through a portion of the Metroplex to
the north of Atlanta from the RKMRT,
GA, WP (near Polk County Airport, GA)
to the JACET, GA, WP.
T–293: T–293 is proposed to provide
a route around the west of the Atlanta
area from the CHUTT, AL, WP, in
Alabama (south of Columbus, GA) to the
DAISI, GA, WP (near Pickens County
Airport, GA [JZP]). Aligning the route
segments between the RTLRY, HONRR
and POLLL waypoints would keep T–
293 within Atlanta TRACON’s airspace
and provide vertical and lateral
separation from three separate
published arrival procedures used by
aircraft descending to land at airports
within the Metroplex area.
T–294: T–294 would provide an
alternative RNAV route through the
Metroplex airspace on the southwest
side, between the GRANT, GA, WP
(near Thomaston, GA) and the HEFIN,
AL, WP (near Heflin, AL).
T–296: T–296 would provide a route
southeast of Atlanta between the
JMPPR, GA, WP (near Woodbury, GA)
and the TACKL, GA, WP (southwest of
Athens, GA).
T–297: T–297 would provide an
alternative route around the west side of
the Metroplex airspace between the
PAIRA, GA, WP (south of Atlanta, near
Geneva, GA) and the REELL, GA, WP
(northwest of Athens, GA). The route
would have altitude limitations so that
T–297 flights would be procedurally
separated from all optimized published
departure and arrival procedures.
T–319: T–319 would provide an
RNAV route directly over the HartsfieldJackson Atlanta International Airport
(ATL) for aircraft transitioning Class B
airspace from north-to-south and vice
versa.
T–321: T–321 would provide a northsouth oriented route east of ATL,
between the BBOAT, GA, WP (near
Eatonton, GA) and the BIGNN, GA, WP
(abeam Habersham County, GA). The
BBOAT and BIGNN waypoints would
also connect to T–290 and T–323,
respectively, enabling more flexibility in
routing options.
T–323: The proposed T–323 would
allow aircraft to transition the
Metroplex airspace between a point
approximately 110 NM northeast of ATL
from the HIGGI, NC, WP and a point 110
NM southeast of ATL at the CROCS, GA,
WP. T–323 would intersect the
proposed T–290 and T–321 enabling
alternative routing between the
Knoxville, TN, area and locations south
of the Atlanta Metroplex area.
RNAV routes are published in
paragraph 6011 of FAA Order 7400.9X
dated August 7, 2013, and effective
September 15, 2013, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The RNAV routes listed in this
document would be subsequently
published 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

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 would modify the route structure as
required to enhance the safe and
efficient flow of air traffic in the Atlanta,
GA area.
Environmental Review
This proposal will be subject to an
environmental analysis in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E,
‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,’’ prior to any FAA final
regulatory action.

[[Page 68778]]
Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application
procedure.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish nine low altitude RNAV routes
(T-routes) in the Atlanta, GA area. Since there are no published routes
currently available for aircraft to use to circumnavigate the busy
Atlanta Metroplex airspace, the Atlanta Air Route Traffic Control
Center (ARTCC) (ZTL) and Atlanta Terminal Radar Approach Control
(TRACON) (A80) facilities routinely vector and reroute aircraft around
areas where high volumes of large aircraft consistently fly. This
results in increased track miles flown and air traffic controller and
pilot task complexity. The proposed routes would support the Atlanta
OAPM project and provide routes through, around and over the Atlanta
Metroplex area that are procedurally deconflicted from arrivals,
departures and other airspace areas. The following routes are proposed:
T-290: T-290 would provide a route through the southern portion of
the Atlanta Metroplex area from the SCAIL, AL, waypoint (WP), near
Tallapoosa County, AL, to the JACET, GA, WP, near Augusta, GA.
T-292: T-292 would provide a route through a portion of the
Metroplex to the north of Atlanta from the RKMRT, GA, WP (near Polk
County Airport, GA) to the JACET, GA, WP.
T-293: T-293 is proposed to provide a route around the west of the
Atlanta area from the CHUTT, AL, WP, in Alabama (south of Columbus, GA)
to the DAISI, GA, WP (near Pickens County Airport, GA [JZP]). Aligning
the route segments between the RTLRY, HONRR and POLLL waypoints would
keep T-293 within Atlanta TRACON's airspace and provide vertical and
lateral separation from three separate published arrival procedures
used by aircraft descending to land at airports within the Metroplex
area.
T-294: T-294 would provide an alternative RNAV route through the
Metroplex airspace on the southwest side, between the GRANT, GA, WP
(near Thomaston, GA) and the HEFIN, AL, WP (near Heflin, AL).
T-296: T-296 would provide a route southeast of Atlanta between the
JMPPR, GA, WP (near Woodbury, GA) and the TACKL, GA, WP (southwest of
Athens, GA).
T-297: T-297 would provide an alternative route around the west
side of the Metroplex airspace between the PAIRA, GA, WP (south of
Atlanta, near Geneva, GA) and the REELL, GA, WP (northwest of Athens,
GA). The route would have altitude limitations so that T-297 flights
would be procedurally separated from all optimized published departure
and arrival procedures.
T-319: T-319 would provide an RNAV route directly over the
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) for aircraft
transitioning Class B airspace from north-to-south and vice versa.
T-321: T-321 would provide a north-south oriented route east of
ATL, between the BBOAT, GA, WP (near Eatonton, GA) and the BIGNN, GA,
WP (abeam Habersham County, GA). The BBOAT and BIGNN waypoints would
also connect to T-290 and T-323, respectively, enabling more
flexibility in routing options.
T-323: The proposed T-323 would allow aircraft to transition the
Metroplex airspace between a point approximately 110 NM northeast of
ATL from the HIGGI, NC, WP and a point 110 NM southeast of ATL at the
CROCS, GA, WP. T-323 would intersect the proposed T-290 and T-321
enabling alternative routing between the Knoxville, TN, area and
locations south of the Atlanta Metroplex area.
RNAV routes are published in paragraph 6011 of FAA Order 7400.9X
dated August 7, 2013, and effective September 15, 2013, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The RNAV routes listed in
this document would be subsequently published 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 would modify the route structure as required to enhance the safe
and efficient flow of air traffic in the Atlanta, GA area.
Environmental Review
This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures,'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
