Proposed Amendment of Air Traffic Service (ATS) Route Q-5; Western United States, 12290-12292 [2018-05584]

Download as PDF 12290 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 55 / Wednesday, March 21, 2018 / Proposed Rules operations in standard instrument approach and departure procedures at the airport. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 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 designations 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, 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. 1.

The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to modify RNAV route Q–5. The proposed route changes are outlined below. Q–5: Route Q–5 currently extends from HAROB, WA to STIKM, CA. The FAA proposes to start the route at SPAMY, CA, WP, thereby eliminating the STIKM, CA, WP and the HUPTU, CA, WP, to support STARs into OAK. Additionally, ATS route policy states, odd numbered routes will be listed south to north. Route Q–5 was originally listed north to south, and is proposed south to north. The amended route would, therefore, extend from SPAMY, CA to HAROB, WA. United States Area Navigation Routes are published in paragraph 2006 of FAA Order 7400.11B dated August 3, 2017, and effective September 15, 2017, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.

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.

Background

    Route Q-5 was one of the original RNAV routes developed ushering in 
performance based navigation (PBN) into the United States. Route Q-5 
provided a high altitude route from Seattle into the bay area of San 
Francisco and Oakland, CA. Route Q-5 tied in OAK airport via the RAIDR 
STAR from STIKM WP, which is the current southern boundary point on the 
route. The STAR was removed in 2017 and Q-5 no longer tied into the bay 
area. The FAA proposes to add a new boundary point of SPAMY, CA, WP, 
which serves two STARs; WNDSR TWO ARRIVAL and the AANET ONE ARRIVAL, 
with both serving OAK. Lastly, policy states odd numbered ATS routes 
list points south to north. Currently Q-5 lists the route north to 
south. This proposal corrects the direction and will be in line with 
current policy.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal 
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to modify RNAV route Q-5. The proposed 
route changes are outlined below. Q-5: Route Q-5 currently extends from 
HAROB, WA to STIKM, CA. The FAA proposes to start the route at SPAMY, 
CA, WP, thereby eliminating the STIKM, CA, WP and the HUPTU, CA, WP, to 
support STARs into OAK. Additionally, ATS route policy states, odd 
numbered routes will be listed south to north. Route Q-5 was originally 
listed north to south, and is proposed south to north. The amended 
route would, therefore, extend from SPAMY, CA to HAROB, WA.
    United States Area Navigation Routes are published in paragraph 
2006 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 United States Area Navigation Routes listed in this document will 
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.
