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).

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

Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034;

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.

before the specified closing date for
comments will be considered before
taking action on the proposed rule. The
proposal contained in this action may
be changed in light of comments
received. All comments submitted will

You may review the public docket
containing the proposal, any comments
received and any final disposition in
person in the Dockets Office (see
ADDRESSES section for address and
phone number) between 9:00 a.m. and
5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal holidays. An informal
docket may also be examined during
normal business hours at the office of
the Central Service Center, Operations
Support Group, Federal Aviation
Administration, 2601 Meacham Blvd.,
Fort Worth, TX 76137.
Persons interested in being placed on
a mailing list for future NPRM’s should
contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking,
(202) 267–9677, for a copy of Advisory
Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed
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 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

Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for future
NPRM's should contact the FAA's Office of Rulemaking, (202) 267-9677,
for a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11-2A, Notice of Proposed
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 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.
