Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11C, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 13, 2018, and effective September 15, 2018. FAA Order 7400.11C is publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11C 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 remove RNAV route Q–106. Q–106 extends between the SMELZ, FL, WP (northwest of the Lakeland, FL, VORTAC) and the GADAY, AL, WP (northeast of the Crestview, FL, VORTAC). The implementation of the Florida Metroplex Q-route Project (83 FR 43750; August 28, 2018), that became effective on November 8, 2018, increased the number of RNAV Q-routes that extend through the area served by Q–106. As a result, the FAA determined that Q–106 is obsolete and no longer required. Q-routes are published in paragraph 2006 of FAA Order 7400.11C dated August 13, 2018, and effective September 15, 2018, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Q-route listed in this VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:47 Mar 01, 2019 Jkt 247001 7309 document would be subsequently removed from the Order. Paragraph 2006—United States Area Navigation Routes Q–106 [Remove] Regulatory Notices and Analyses Issued in Washington, DC, on February 27, 2019. Rodger A. Dean Jr., Manager, Airspace Policy Group. 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.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11C, Airspace 
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 13, 2018, and effective 
September 15, 2018. FAA Order 7400.11C is publicly available as listed 
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11C 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 remove RNAV route Q-106. Q-106 extends 
between the SMELZ, FL, WP (northwest of the Lakeland, FL, VORTAC) and 
the GADAY, AL, WP (northeast of the Crestview, FL, VORTAC). The 
implementation of the Florida Metroplex Q-route Project (83 FR 43750; 
August 28, 2018), that became effective on November 8, 2018, increased 
the number of RNAV Q-routes that extend through the area served by Q-
106. As a result, the FAA determined that Q-106 is obsolete and no 
longer required.
    Q-routes are published in paragraph 2006 of FAA Order 7400.11C 
dated August 13, 2018, and effective September 15, 2018, which is 
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Q-route listed in this 
document would be subsequently removed from 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.
