Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document proposes to amend
FAA Order 7400.11B, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
dated August 3, 2017, and effective
September 15, 2017. FAA Order
7400.11B is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this
document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting
points.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) part 71 by amending the Class
E airspace designated as a surface area
at Iowa County Airport, Mineral Point,
WI, by removing the part-time language
from the airspace description. This
proposal is made at the request of
Chicago ARTCC to change the airspace
from part-time to full-time.
This action also would make an
editorial change by removing the name
of the city associated with the airport in
the airspace designation to comply with
a recent change to FAA Order 7400.2L,
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Procedures for Handling Airspace
Matters, dated October 12, 2017.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6002 of FAA
Order 7400.11B, dated August 3, 2017,
and effective September 15, 2017, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class E airspace designation
listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
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 will only affect air
traffic procedures and air navigation, it
is certified that this rule, when
promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
Environmental Review
This proposal will be subject to an
environmental analysis in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F,
‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final
regulatory action.

The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR), part 71 to establish Canadian
RNAV route T–705 by extending the
Canadian route into U.S. airspace. T–
705 currently extends between the
IKNAR, Canada, waypoint (WP) located
approximately 90 nautical miles (NM)
north of Montreal, Canada, and the
DUNUP, Canada, WP located
approximately 25 NM southeast of
Montreal. This proposal would extend
T–705 from the DUNUP, Canada, WP
through the EBDOT, Canada WP, then
into U.S. airspace via the LATTS, NY,
and PBERG, NY, WPs. From the PBERG
WP, the route would proceed to the
RIGID, NY, fix, and from that point, it
would overlie VOR Federal airway V–
196 to the Utica, NY, VORTAC. The
amended T–705 would provide
continuous RNAV routing between
Utica, NY, and Montreal, Canada, and
points north of Montreal to the IKNAR,
Canada, WP.
Canadian area navigation routes that
extend into United States airspace are
published in paragraph 6013 of FAA
Order 7400.11B, dated August 3, 2017
and effective September 15, 2017, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The area navigation route listed in
this document would be subsequently
published in the Order.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
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. It,
therefore: (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.
Environmental Review
This proposal will be subject to an
environmental analysis in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F,
‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11B, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017 and effective
September 15, 2017. FAA Order 7400.11B is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this proposed rule. FAA Order 7400.11B
lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service
routes, and reporting points.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR), part 71 to establish Canadian RNAV route T-705 by
extending the Canadian route into U.S. airspace. T-705 currently
extends between the IKNAR, Canada, waypoint (WP) located approximately
90 nautical miles (NM) north of Montreal, Canada, and the DUNUP,
Canada, WP located approximately 25 NM southeast of Montreal. This
proposal would extend T-705 from the DUNUP, Canada, WP through the
EBDOT, Canada WP, then into U.S. airspace via the LATTS, NY, and PBERG,
NY, WPs. From the PBERG WP, the route would proceed to the RIGID, NY,
fix, and from that point, it would overlie VOR Federal airway V-196 to
the Utica, NY, VORTAC. The amended T-705 would provide continuous RNAV
routing between Utica, NY, and Montreal, Canada, and points north of
Montreal to the IKNAR, Canada, WP.
Canadian area navigation routes that extend into United States
airspace are published in paragraph 6013 of FAA Order 7400.11B, dated
August 3, 2017 and effective September 15, 2017, which is incorporated
by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The area navigation route listed in this
document would be subsequently published in the Order.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
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.
It, therefore: (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.
Environmental Review
This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
