The Proposal The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish 14 RNAV Q-routes and modify 4 Q-routes in support of the OAPM project. OAPM is intended to improve air traffic flows within an entire region resulting in increased capacity and fuel efficiency and reduced track distances. The proposed changes are described below. VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:30 Nov 26, 2013 Jkt 232001 Q–22: Q–22 now extends between the GUSTI, LA, fix and the CATLN, AL, fix. This action would modify Q–22 by extending the route approximately 582 nautical miles (NM) to the northeast of its current termination point, to the BEARI, VA, waypoint (WP). The modification would be used to segregate aircraft landing at various airports in the northeast U.S. Q–39: Q–39 is a proposed new route that would extend between the CLAWD, NC, WP and the TARCI, WV, fix. The route would be used by aircraft landing at Port Columbus, OH, Cleveland, OH and Detroit, MI airports. Q–40: Q–40 now extends between the Alexandria, LA, VORTAC (AEX) and the MISLE, AL, WP. The route would be modified by extending it approximately 548 NM to the northeast terminating at the FANPO, VA, WP. Q–22 would provide an RNAV alternative for southwest-bound traffic that normally files via jet route J–22. The amended Q– 40 would be a shorter route and would also reduce conflictions with departures from the Atlanta, GA, area. Q–50: Q–50 is a proposed new route that would extend between the Louisville, KY, VORTAC (IIU) and the CUBIM, KY, WP. The route is intended to help segregate Charlotte, NC, departures from conflicting high altitude flows headed towards the Louisville, KY area. Q–52: Q–52 is a proposed new route that would extend between the CHOPZ, GA, WP and the COLZI, NC, fix. This route would provide an RNAV alternative to jet route J–37 for southwest-bound overflights joining traffic departing from the CLT area and overflying ATL. The route would parallel J–37 between COLZI and CHOPZ thereby segregating the southwest-bound flights from ATL departure flows that are in opposite direction proceeding northeast-bound. Q–54: Q–54 would be a new route extending between the Greenwood, SC, VORTAC (GRD) and the NUTZE, NC, WP. The route would serve ATL departures destined to the Norfolk, VA, area. Q–56: Q–56 would be a new route that would extend between the CATLN, AL, Fix and the KIWII, VA, WP. The route would diverge northeasterly from the proposed Q–22 (see above) to serve aircraft landing at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) and Joint Base Andrews (ADW). Q–58: Q–58 would be a new route that would extend between the KELLN, SC, WP and the PEETT, NC, WP. It would be used by ATL departures headed to Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 Q–60: The proposed Q–60 would extend between the Spartanburg, SC, VORTAC (SPA) and the JAXSN, VA, fix. The route would serve aircraft landing at Washington Dulles International (IAD), Richmond International (RIC) and LaGuardia (LGA) airports. Q–63: Q–63 is a proposed new route that would extend between the DOOGE, VA, WP and the HEVAN, IN, WP. The route would facilitate CLT departures traveling northwest-bound and overflying the Cincinnati, OH, area. Q–64: Q–64 is proposed to extend between the CATLN, AL, fix and the Tar River, NC, VORTAC (TYI). Q–64 would provide routing for aircraft destined to airports in the New York City area. Q–65: Q–65 would be a new route extending between the JEFOI, GA, WP and Rosewood, OH, VORTAC (ROD). The route would serve northbound traffic from Florida and to the east of ATL. Q–66: Q–66 would extend between the Little Rock, AR, VORTAC (LIT) and the ALEAN, VA, WP. The route would transfer RNAV aircraft off conventional jet routes and away from the Volunteer, TN (VXV) and Pulaski, VA (PSK) VORTACs, which are high traffic volume crossing fixes. Shifting aircraft to Q–66 would facilitate climbs for northbound aircraft departing ATL and provide a more direct route to Little Rock. Q–67: Q–67 would extend between the SMITH, TN, WP and Henderson, WV, VORTAC (HNN). It would provide RNAV routing for ATL departures. Q– 67, along with the proposed Q–71 (see below), would enable two segregated north departure flows from ATL. Q–69: Q–69 would extend between the BLAAN, SC, WP and Elkins, WV, VORTAC (EKN). The route would provide better opportunity for unrestricted climbs for CLT departures headed toward Pittsburg International (PIT), Buffalo Niagara International (BUF) and Toronto Pearson International (TOR) airports. Additionally, Q–69 could be used as an RNAV alternative to jet route J–53. Q–71: Q–71 would extend between the BOBBD, TN, WP and the GEFFS, WV, fix. This route, in conjunction with Q–67 (above), would facilitate the segregation of ATL departures prior to the aircraft entering the adjacent Air Route Traffic Control Center’s (ARTCC) airspace. Q–110: Q–110 now extends between the THNDR, FL, fix and the FEONA, GA, WP. This action would modify Q– 110 by extending the route an additional 404 NM to the northwest, terminating at the BLANS, IL, WP. The amended route would serve traffic overflying Atlanta E:\FR\FM\27NOP1.SGM 27NOP1 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 229 / Wednesday, November 27, 2013 / Proposed Rules ARTCC airspace from Florida airports en route to the Minneapolis-St. Paul International/World-Chamberlain Airport (MSP). Q–118: Q–118 now extends between the KPASA, FL, WP and the LENIE, GA, WP. This proposed amendment would eliminate the LENIE WP from the Q–118 description and instead, realign Q–118 to the west of LENIE through the JOHNN, GA, Fix. From JOHNN, GA, Fix, Q–118 would be extended approximately 544 NM to the north to terminate at the Marion, IN, VOR/DME (MZZ). This route extension would support a preferred arrival route into Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD). High altitude RNAV routes are published in paragraph 2006 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 Q–22 emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS 16:30 Nov 26, 2013 FIX FIX WP FIX WP VORTAC WP WP WP WP WP WP FIX Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).

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 proposed 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 eastern United States.

The Proposal The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to modify Q–20 in support of the Houston OAPM project. PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 OAPM is intended to improve air traffic flows within an entire region resulting in increased capacity and fuel efficiency and reduced track distances. Q–20 extends between the Corona, NM, VHF Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) navigation aid and the Junction, TX, VORTAC navigation aid. This action would amend Q–20 by relocating the FUSCO WP to match the intersection of Jet routes J–15 and J–183, and redesignating FUSCO as a fix. The modification would enable aircraft filed eastbound via J–15, J–183, or Q–20, to file, after FUSCO, direct to a published transition to a Houston Standard Terminal Arrival Route. This would simplify flight plan filing and Flight Management Computer entries; thus, reducing the potential for routing errors. High altitude RNAV routes are published in paragraph 2006 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 route 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 proposed regulation is within the scope of that E:\FR\FM\27NOP1.SGM 27NOP1

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal 
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish 14 RNAV Q-routes and modify 4 
Q-routes in support of the OAPM project. OAPM is intended to improve 
air traffic flows within an entire region resulting in increased 
capacity and fuel efficiency and reduced track distances. The proposed 
changes are described below.
    Q-22: Q-22 now extends between the GUSTI, LA, fix and the CATLN, 
AL, fix. This action would modify Q-22 by extending the route 
approximately 582 nautical miles (NM) to the northeast of its current 
termination point, to the BEARI, VA, waypoint (WP). The modification 
would be used to segregate aircraft landing at various airports in the 
northeast U.S.
    Q-39: Q-39 is a proposed new route that would extend between the 
CLAWD, NC, WP and the TARCI, WV, fix. The route would be used by 
aircraft landing at Port Columbus, OH, Cleveland, OH and Detroit, MI 
airports.
    Q-40: Q-40 now extends between the Alexandria, LA, VORTAC (AEX) and 
the MISLE, AL, WP. The route would be modified by extending it 
approximately 548 NM to the northeast terminating at the FANPO, VA, WP. 
Q-22 would provide an RNAV alternative for southwest-bound traffic that 
normally files via jet route J-22. The amended Q-40 would be a shorter 
route and would also reduce conflictions with departures from the 
Atlanta, GA, area.
    Q-50: Q-50 is a proposed new route that would extend between the 
Louisville, KY, VORTAC (IIU) and the CUBIM, KY, WP. The route is 
intended to help segregate Charlotte, NC, departures from conflicting 
high altitude flows headed towards the Louisville, KY area.
    Q-52: Q-52 is a proposed new route that would extend between the 
CHOPZ, GA, WP and the COLZI, NC, fix. This route would provide an RNAV 
alternative to jet route J-37 for southwest-bound overflights joining 
traffic departing from the CLT area and overflying ATL. The route would 
parallel J-37 between COLZI and CHOPZ thereby segregating the 
southwest-bound flights from ATL departure flows that are in opposite 
direction proceeding northeast-bound.
    Q-54: Q-54 would be a new route extending between the Greenwood, 
SC, VORTAC (GRD) and the NUTZE, NC, WP. The route would serve ATL 
departures destined to the Norfolk, VA, area.
    Q-56: Q-56 would be a new route that would extend between the 
CATLN, AL, Fix and the KIWII, VA, WP. The route would diverge 
northeasterly from the proposed Q-22 (see above) to serve aircraft 
landing at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) and Joint 
Base Andrews (ADW).
    Q-58: Q-58 would be a new route that would extend between the 
KELLN, SC, WP and the PEETT, NC, WP. It would be used by ATL departures 
headed to Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport 
(BWI).
    Q-60: The proposed Q-60 would extend between the Spartanburg, SC, 
VORTAC (SPA) and the JAXSN, VA, fix. The route would serve aircraft 
landing at Washington Dulles International (IAD), Richmond 
International (RIC) and LaGuardia (LGA) airports.
    Q-63: Q-63 is a proposed new route that would extend between the 
DOOGE, VA, WP and the HEVAN, IN, WP. The route would facilitate CLT 
departures traveling northwest-bound and overflying the Cincinnati, OH, 
area.
    Q-64: Q-64 is proposed to extend between the CATLN, AL, fix and the 
Tar River, NC, VORTAC (TYI). Q-64 would provide routing for aircraft 
destined to airports in the New York City area.
    Q-65: Q-65 would be a new route extending between the JEFOI, GA, WP 
and Rosewood, OH, VORTAC (ROD). The route would serve northbound 
traffic from Florida and to the east of ATL.
    Q-66: Q-66 would extend between the Little Rock, AR, VORTAC (LIT) 
and the ALEAN, VA, WP. The route would transfer RNAV aircraft off 
conventional jet routes and away from the Volunteer, TN (VXV) and 
Pulaski, VA (PSK) VORTACs, which are high traffic volume crossing 
fixes. Shifting aircraft to Q-66 would facilitate climbs for northbound 
aircraft departing ATL and provide a more direct route to Little Rock.
    Q-67: Q-67 would extend between the SMITH, TN, WP and Henderson, 
WV, VORTAC (HNN). It would provide RNAV routing for ATL departures. Q-
67, along with the proposed Q-71 (see below), would enable two 
segregated north departure flows from ATL.
    Q-69: Q-69 would extend between the BLAAN, SC, WP and Elkins, WV, 
VORTAC (EKN). The route would provide better opportunity for 
unrestricted climbs for CLT departures headed toward Pittsburg 
International (PIT), Buffalo Niagara International (BUF) and Toronto 
Pearson International (TOR) airports. Additionally, Q-69 could be used 
as an RNAV alternative to jet route J-53.
    Q-71: Q-71 would extend between the BOBBD, TN, WP and the GEFFS, 
WV, fix. This route, in conjunction with Q-67 (above), would facilitate 
the segregation of ATL departures prior to the aircraft entering the 
adjacent Air Route Traffic Control Center's (ARTCC) airspace.
    Q-110: Q-110 now extends between the THNDR, FL, fix and the FEONA, 
GA, WP. This action would modify Q-110 by extending the route an 
additional 404 NM to the northwest, terminating at the BLANS, IL, WP. 
The amended route would serve traffic overflying Atlanta

[[Page 70897]]

ARTCC airspace from Florida airports en route to the Minneapolis-St. 
Paul International/World-Chamberlain Airport (MSP).
    Q-118: Q-118 now extends between the KPASA, FL, WP and the LENIE, 
GA, WP. This proposed amendment would eliminate the LENIE WP from the 
Q-118 description and instead, realign Q-118 to the west of LENIE 
through the JOHNN, GA, Fix. From JOHNN, GA, Fix, Q-118 would be 
extended approximately 544 NM to the north to terminate at the Marion, 
IN, VOR/DME (MZZ). This route extension would support a preferred 
arrival route into Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD).
    High altitude RNAV routes are published in paragraph 2006 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 proposed 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 eastern United 
States.

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.
