Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 179 / Tuesday, September 16, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
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, is non-controversial and
unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore, (1) is not a
‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a
‘‘significant rule’’ under 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 only affects air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when
promulgated, does 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 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
controlled airspace at CynthianaHarrison County Airport, Cynthiana,
KY.

Modification and Establishment of
Area Navigation (RNAV) Routes;

Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This action modifies three
RNAV Q-routes and establishes five Qroutes originating in Oakland Air Route
Traffic Control Center’s (ARTCC)
airspace. The routes promote
operational efficiencies for users and
provide connectivity to current and
proposed RNAV en route and terminal
procedures. Also, two waypoints and a
fix name is changed for Q–120, and Q–
128, as the proposed names already
were in use.
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
On June 9, 2014, the FAA published
in the Federal Register a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify
three RNAV Q-routes and establish 5 Qroutes originating in Oakland Air Route
Traffic Control Center’s (ARTCC)
airspace (79 FR 32883). Interested
parties were invited to participate in
this rulemaking effort by submitting
written comments on the proposal. No
comments were received.
Differences From the NPRM
This rule changes the name of 3
waypoints. For Q–120, MENSE
waypoint is changed to BETBE and
LIITL waypoint is changed to TRAKY.
For Q–128, NOBBY is changed to
VLUST. The coordinates for these
waypoints remain the same. These
waypoint name changes were necessary
as the proposed names already were in
use or proposed in another project.
The Rule
The FAA is amending Title 14, Code
of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71
modifying 3 RNAV Q-routes and
establishing 5 Q-routes originating in

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 179 / Tuesday, September 16, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
the Oakland ARTCC airspace. The
routes run generally west-east,
connecting the San Francisco and Los
Angeles terminal areas with
destinations to the east. The modified
routes connect to new Standard
Instrument Departure (SID) and
Standard Terminal Arrival (STAR)
procedures as designed in the Northern
California (NorCal) Metroplex. The
routes provide options to traverse or
circumnavigate the restricted area R–
2508 complex. The routes are described
below.
Q–120: Q–120 extends between the
Sacramento, CA, VORTAC (SAC) and
the Redwood Falls, MN, VOR/DME
(RWF). The modifications remove the
SAC VORTAC at the west end of the
route and replace it with the new
ORRCA waypoint (WP). Additional WPs
are added along the route. On the east
end, the RWF VOR/DME is removed
from the route and a new endpoint is
established using the existing UFFDA
WP, MN. The UFFDA WP is located
approximately 41 nautical miles (NM)
west of the RWF VOR/DME, thereby
shortening the length of Q–120 by that
distance. Two waypoints along the
route, MENSE and LIITL, are renamed
BETBE and TRAKY, respectively.
Q–128: Q–128 extends between the
Linden, CA, VORTAC (LIN) and the
Memphis, TN, VORTAC (MEM). The
modifications remove the LIN VORTAC
from the route and is replaced with the
new SYRAH, CA, WP. The SYRAH WP
is located approximately 7 NM
southwest of the LIN VORTAC. The
Bartlesville, OK, VOR/DME (BVO) is
removed from the route and replaced
with the VEGUC, OK, WP
(approximately 12 NM southeast of the
BVO) VOR/DME. The Razorback, AR,
VORTAC (RZC) is also removed from
the route and replaced by the renamed
VLUST, AR, WP. The VLUST WP is
approximately 1 NM northeast of RZC
VORTAC. The MEM VORTAC is
removed from the route and replaced by
the MUDHO, MS, WP (approximately 7
NM southwest of the MEM VORTAC).
From the MUDHO WP, Q–128 is
extended by approximately 160 NM to
the southeast terminating at the new
east end JILLS, AL, WP. The JILLS WP
is located approximately 11 NM
northwest of the Crimson, AL, VORTAC
(LDK).
Q130: Q130 extends between the LIN
VORTAC and the Panhandle, TX,
VORTAC (PNH). The modifications
remove the LIN VORTAC from route
and replace it with the new SYRAH,
CA, WP. The Rattlesnake, NM, VORTAC
(RSK) is also replaced by the new
HASSL, UT, WP; and the existing
TAHIB, UT, WP, is inserted between the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:12 Sep 15, 2014
Jkt 232001
ROCCY, UT, WP and the DIXAN, NM,
WP. The PNH VORTAC remains as the
eastern endpoint of Q–130.
The changes to Q–120, Q–128, and
Q–130 support Performance Based
Navigation procedures into or out of
terminal areas and reduce the reliance
on ground-based navigation aids by
replacing some facilities in the route
descriptions with GPS waypoints.
The following new routes are
established:
Q–158: Q–158 extends from a new
NTELL, CA, WP (located west of
restricted area R–2508, near the Clovis,
CA, VORTAC (CZQ), transiting through
the northern part of R–2508, and the
new JEDNA, NV, WP (northwest of Las
Vegas, NV).
Q–160: Q–160 begins at the new
SHVVR, CA, WP, then transits through
the northern part of R–2508, and ends
at the existing BIKKR, CA, WP, where
it links to Q–158.
Q–162: Q–162 extends between the
NTELL WP and the MYCAL, NV, WP.
From NTELL, Q–162 circumnavigates
around the north end of R–2508 through
the existing CABAB, CA, WP and the
KENNO, NV, WP, then turns
southeastward through the gap between
restricted areas R–2508 and R–4807A/
R–4808N, to the MYCAL WP, where it
links to Q–158.
Q–164: Q–164 extends between the
NTELL, CA, WP and the existing
ROCCY, UT, WP. Q–164 provides eastand west-bound routing north of the R–
2508 and R–4807/R–4808 complexes.
Q–166: Q–166 begins at the VIKSN,
CA, WP, then transits through the
northeast corner of R–2508, and ends at
the BIKKR, CA, WP. Q–166 connects
with Q–162 at the VIKSN WP and with
Q–158 and Q–160 at the BIKKR WP.
It should be noted that the routes that
transit through R–2508 (i.e., Q–158, Q–
160 and Q–166) are only available
during times when the restricted
airspace has been released to the FAA
for joint use in accordance with a joint
use agreement.
This action promotes user operational
efficiencies and provides connectivity to
current and proposed RNAV en route
and terminal procedures.
High altitude RNAV routes are
published in paragraph 2006 of FAA
Order 7400.9Y dated August 6, 2014,
and effective September 15, 2014, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The RNAV routes listed in this
document are subsequently published
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

procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when
promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial

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 modifies the route structure as
required to enhance the safe and
efficient flow of air traffic in the western
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: Policy 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.

final rule, HUD retained the
longstanding requirement that owners
and borrowers participating in the
Section 232 program submit audited
financial statements to HUD, and added
the requirement that operators of
Section 232 facilities also submit
financial statements to HUD on a
quarterly and annual basis. However,
the September 7, 2012, rule placed
operators on a different submission
deadline than that required of owners.
This interim rule revises the financial
reporting deadlines for operators to
bring them in-line with the reporting
periods prescribed in HUD’s Uniform
Financial Reporting Standards, to which
owners and borrowers are subject.
DATES: Effective date: October 16, 2014.
Comment due date: November 17,
2014.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit comments on this
interim rule to the Regulations Division,
Office of General Counsel, Department
of Housing and Urban Development,

I. Supplementary Information
A. Background
Section 232 of the National Housing
Act (12 U.S.C. 1715w) (Section 232)
authorizes FHA to insure mortgages
made by private lenders to finance the
development of nursing homes,
intermediate care facilities, board and
care homes, and assisted living facilities
(collectively, residential healthcare
facilities). The Section 232 program
allows for long-term, fixed-rate
financing for new and rehabilitated
properties for up to 40 years. Existing
properties without rehabilitation can be
financed with or without Ginnie Mae® 1
Mortgage Backed Securities for up to 35
years. Eligible borrowers under the
Section 232 program include investors,
builders, developers, public entities,
and private nonprofit corporations and
associations. The documents executed
at loan closing provide that the
borrower may not engage in any other
business or activity.
As the need for residential care
facilities increased, requests to FHA to
make mortgage insurance available for
such facilities also increased. Updates to
the Section 232 program regulations,
codified at 24 CFR part 232, were
needed to ensure that program
requirements are sufficient to meet
increased demand, and prevent
mortgage defaults that not only impose
a risk to the FHA insurance fund but
can jeopardize the safety and stability of
Section 232 facilities and their
residents.
B. September 7, 2012 Regulatory
Revisions
In 2012, HUD commenced the
rulemaking process to make the updates
needed to the Section 232 program
regulations, regulations that had not
been revised since 1996. By final rule
published on September 7, 2012, at 77
FR 55120, HUD revised the Section 232

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On June 9, 2014, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice
of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify three RNAV Q-routes and
establish 5 Q-routes originating in Oakland Air Route Traffic Control
Center's (ARTCC) airspace (79 FR 32883). Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written
comments on the proposal. No comments were received.
Differences From the NPRM
This rule changes the name of 3 waypoints. For Q-120, MENSE
waypoint is changed to BETBE and LIITL waypoint is changed to TRAKY.
For Q-128, NOBBY is changed to VLUST. The coordinates for these
waypoints remain the same. These waypoint name changes were necessary
as the proposed names already were in use or proposed in another
project.
The Rule
The FAA is amending Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 modifying 3 RNAV Q-routes and establishing 5 Q-routes
originating in
[[Page 55358]]
the Oakland ARTCC airspace. The routes run generally west-east,
connecting the San Francisco and Los Angeles terminal areas with
destinations to the east. The modified routes connect to new Standard
Instrument Departure (SID) and Standard Terminal Arrival (STAR)
procedures as designed in the Northern California (NorCal) Metroplex.
The routes provide options to traverse or circumnavigate the restricted
area R-2508 complex. The routes are described below.
Q-120: Q-120 extends between the Sacramento, CA, VORTAC (SAC) and
the Redwood Falls, MN, VOR/DME (RWF). The modifications remove the SAC
VORTAC at the west end of the route and replace it with the new ORRCA
waypoint (WP). Additional WPs are added along the route. On the east
end, the RWF VOR/DME is removed from the route and a new endpoint is
established using the existing UFFDA WP, MN. The UFFDA WP is located
approximately 41 nautical miles (NM) west of the RWF VOR/DME, thereby
shortening the length of Q-120 by that distance. Two waypoints along
the route, MENSE and LIITL, are renamed BETBE and TRAKY, respectively.
Q-128: Q-128 extends between the Linden, CA, VORTAC (LIN) and the
Memphis, TN, VORTAC (MEM). The modifications remove the LIN VORTAC from
the route and is replaced with the new SYRAH, CA, WP. The SYRAH WP is
located approximately 7 NM southwest of the LIN VORTAC. The
Bartlesville, OK, VOR/DME (BVO) is removed from the route and replaced
with the VEGUC, OK, WP (approximately 12 NM southeast of the BVO) VOR/
DME. The Razorback, AR, VORTAC (RZC) is also removed from the route and
replaced by the renamed VLUST, AR, WP. The VLUST WP is approximately 1
NM northeast of RZC VORTAC. The MEM VORTAC is removed from the route
and replaced by the MUDHO, MS, WP (approximately 7 NM southwest of the
MEM VORTAC). From the MUDHO WP, Q-128 is extended by approximately 160
NM to the southeast terminating at the new east end JILLS, AL, WP. The
JILLS WP is located approximately 11 NM northwest of the Crimson, AL,
VORTAC (LDK).
Q130: Q130 extends between the LIN VORTAC and the Panhandle, TX,
VORTAC (PNH). The modifications remove the LIN VORTAC from route and
replace it with the new SYRAH, CA, WP. The Rattlesnake, NM, VORTAC
(RSK) is also replaced by the new HASSL, UT, WP; and the existing
TAHIB, UT, WP, is inserted between the ROCCY, UT, WP and the DIXAN, NM,
WP. The PNH VORTAC remains as the eastern endpoint of Q-130.
The changes to Q-120, Q-128, and Q-130 support Performance Based
Navigation procedures into or out of terminal areas and reduce the
reliance on ground-based navigation aids by replacing some facilities
in the route descriptions with GPS waypoints.
The following new routes are established:
Q-158: Q-158 extends from a new NTELL, CA, WP (located west of
restricted area R-2508, near the Clovis, CA, VORTAC (CZQ), transiting
through the northern part of R-2508, and the new JEDNA, NV, WP
(northwest of Las Vegas, NV).
Q-160: Q-160 begins at the new SHVVR, CA, WP, then transits through
the northern part of R-2508, and ends at the existing BIKKR, CA, WP,
where it links to Q-158.
Q-162: Q-162 extends between the NTELL WP and the MYCAL, NV, WP.
From NTELL, Q-162 circumnavigates around the north end of R-2508
through the existing CABAB, CA, WP and the KENNO, NV, WP, then turns
southeastward through the gap between restricted areas R-2508 and R-
4807A/R-4808N, to the MYCAL WP, where it links to Q-158.
Q-164: Q-164 extends between the NTELL, CA, WP and the existing
ROCCY, UT, WP. Q-164 provides east- and west-bound routing north of the
R-2508 and R-4807/R-4808 complexes.
Q-166: Q-166 begins at the VIKSN, CA, WP, then transits through the
northeast corner of R-2508, and ends at the BIKKR, CA, WP. Q-166
connects with Q-162 at the VIKSN WP and with Q-158 and Q-160 at the
BIKKR WP.
It should be noted that the routes that transit through R-2508
(i.e., Q-158, Q-160 and Q-166) are only available during times when the
restricted airspace has been released to the FAA for joint use in
accordance with a joint use agreement.
This action promotes user operational efficiencies and provides
connectivity to current and proposed RNAV en route and terminal
procedures.
High altitude RNAV routes are published in paragraph 2006 of FAA
Order 7400.9Y dated August 6, 2014, and effective September 15, 2014,
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The RNAV routes
listed in this document are subsequently published 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 only affects air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when
promulgated, does 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 modifies the route structure as required to enhance the safe and
efficient flow of air traffic in the western 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: Policy 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.
