ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This action modifies six
United States Area Navigation (RNAV)
routes (Q–88, Q–90, Q–114, Q–126, Q–
136, and Q–150) and establishes one
RNAV route (Q–92) in the western
United States. The routes support
standard instrument departures (SIDs)
and standard terminal arrival routes
(STARs) for Denver International
Airport. Additionally, the routes
promote operational efficiencies for
users and provide connectivity to
current and proposed RNAV enroute
procedures while enhancing capacity
for adjacent airports.

SUMMARY:

16:24 Mar 20, 2019
Jkt 247001
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 supports
amending the air traffic service route
structure in the western United States to
maintain the efficient flow of air traffic.
History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register for Docket No. FAA–2018–0232
(83 FR 22891; May 17, 2018), and
corrected on May 24, 2018 (83 FR
24047), to amend six United States Area
Navigation (RNAV) routes (Q–88, Q–90,
Q–114, Q–126, Q–136, and Q–150) and
establish one RNAV route (Q–92) in the

were invited to participate in this
rulemaking effort by submitting written
comments on the proposal. No
comments were received.
Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document amends 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 Rule
The FAA is amending Title 14 Code
of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71
by amending United States RNAV
routes Q–88, Q–90, Q–114, Q–126, Q–
136, Q–150; and establishing United
States RNAV routes Q–92. The route
changes are outlined below.
Q–88: Q–88 extends from the
HAKMN, NV, waypoint (WP) to the
CHESZ, UT, WP. This action extends
the route from the HAKMN, NV, WP to
the DKOTA, SD, WP. The amended
route connects airports in the
northeastern United States (U.S.) and
Canada with Los Angeles and Las Vegas
and provides Denver International
Airport departures to the north a routing
to Minneapolis.
Q–90: Q–90 is amended from the
DNERO, CA, WP to the WELKY, IA, WP.
The amended route connects to Chicago
O’Hare Airport. Additionally, the route
provides an alternate south departure
route from Denver International Airport
to the Los Angeles, CA, basin satellite
airports.
Q–92: Q–92 is established to support
departures from Denver International
Airport bound for airports in the
midwest and east coast.
Q–114: Q–114 is amended from the
NATEE, NV, WP to the LEONG, IA, WP.
The route connects Chicago area
airports to the Los Angeles basin
airports. Additionally, the route
supports Denver International Airport
west departures to the Los Angeles, CA,
basin satellite airports.
Q–126: Q–126 is amended from the
TIPRE, CA, WP to the BRAFF, CO, WP.
The route links airports on the U.S. west
coast to airports in the Midwest. Q–126
adds utility by supporting Denver
International Airport arrival traffic from
the west. Additional waypoints were
added to the airway to provide for
oxygen escape routes.

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 55 / Thursday, March 21, 2019 / Rules and Regulations
Q–136: Q–136 is amended from the
Coaldale, NV, VORTAC to the BAACN,
IA, WP. The route links airports on the
U.S. west coast to airports in the
Midwest. Q–136 supports Denver
International Airport west departures to
the San Francisco Bay area and
departures to the Midwest and east
coast airports. Additional waypoints
were added to the airway to provide for
oxygen escape routes.
Q–150: Q–150 is amended from the
STEVS, WA, WP to the EXHAS, KS,
WP. The route supports overflight traffic
between Seattle area airports and
Dallas/Ft. Worth, Houston, as well as
Calgary and Edmonton airports in
Canada. Q–150 supports Denver
departures enroute to Boise, ID;
Portland, OR; and Seattle, WA.
United States Area Navigation 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 RNAV route listed in this
document will be subsequently
published 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. 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 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.
Circumstances, this action has been
reviewed for factors and circumstances
in which a normally categorically
excluded action may have a significant
environmental impact requiring further
analysis, and it is determined that no
extraordinary circumstances exist that
warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.
Environmental Review
The Amendment
The FAA has determined that this
action of modifying six RNAV routes
(Q–88, Q–90, Q–114, Q–126, Q–136,
and Q–150) and establishing one RNAV
route (Q–92) qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National
Environmental Policy Act and its
implementing regulations at 40 CFR part
1500, and in accordance with FAA
Order 1050.1F—Environmental Impacts:
Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5–
6.5a, which categorically excludes from
further environmental impact review
rulemaking actions that designate or
modify classes of airspace areas,
airways, routes, and reporting points
(see 14 CFR part 71, Designation of
Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas;
Air Traffic Service Routes; and
Reporting Points). As such, this action
is not expected to cause any potentially
significant environmental impacts. In
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F,
paragraph 5–2 regarding Extraordinary
In consideration of the foregoing, the
Federal Aviation Administration
amends 14 CFR part 71 as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority for This Rulemaking
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 supports amending the air traffic service route
structure in the western United States to maintain the efficient flow
of air traffic.
History
The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register for Docket No. FAA-2018-0232 (83 FR 22891; May 17, 2018), and
corrected on May 24, 2018 (83 FR 24047), to amend six United States
Area Navigation (RNAV) routes (Q-88, Q-90, Q-114, Q-126, Q-136, and Q-
150) and establish one RNAV route (Q-92) in the western United States.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments were
received.
Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document amends 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 Rule
The FAA is amending Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by amending United States RNAV routes Q-88, Q-90, Q-114, Q-126,
Q-136, Q-150; and establishing United States RNAV routes Q-92. The
route changes are outlined below.
Q-88: Q-88 extends from the HAKMN, NV, waypoint (WP) to the CHESZ,
UT, WP. This action extends the route from the HAKMN, NV, WP to the
DKOTA, SD, WP. The amended route connects airports in the northeastern
United States (U.S.) and Canada with Los Angeles and Las Vegas and
provides Denver International Airport departures to the north a routing
to Minneapolis.
Q-90: Q-90 is amended from the DNERO, CA, WP to the WELKY, IA, WP.
The amended route connects to Chicago O'Hare Airport. Additionally, the
route provides an alternate south departure route from Denver
International Airport to the Los Angeles, CA, basin satellite airports.
Q-92: Q-92 is established to support departures from Denver
International Airport bound for airports in the midwest and east coast.
Q-114: Q-114 is amended from the NATEE, NV, WP to the LEONG, IA,
WP. The route connects Chicago area airports to the Los Angeles basin
airports. Additionally, the route supports Denver International Airport
west departures to the Los Angeles, CA, basin satellite airports.
Q-126: Q-126 is amended from the TIPRE, CA, WP to the BRAFF, CO,
WP. The route links airports on the U.S. west coast to airports in the
Midwest. Q-126 adds utility by supporting Denver International Airport
arrival traffic from the west. Additional waypoints were added to the
airway to provide for oxygen escape routes.
[[Page 10408]]
Q-136: Q-136 is amended from the Coaldale, NV, VORTAC to the BAACN,
IA, WP. The route links airports on the U.S. west coast to airports in
the Midwest. Q-136 supports Denver International Airport west
departures to the San Francisco Bay area and departures to the Midwest
and east coast airports. Additional waypoints were added to the airway
to provide for oxygen escape routes.
Q-150: Q-150 is amended from the STEVS, WA, WP to the EXHAS, KS,
WP. The route supports overflight traffic between Seattle area airports
and Dallas/Ft. Worth, Houston, as well as Calgary and Edmonton airports
in Canada. Q-150 supports Denver departures enroute to Boise, ID;
Portland, OR; and Seattle, WA.
United States Area Navigation 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 RNAV route listed in this document will be subsequently published
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.
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 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.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this action of modifying six RNAV
routes (Q-88, Q-90, Q-114, Q-126, Q-136, and Q-150) and establishing
one RNAV route (Q-92) qualifies for categorical exclusion under the
National Environmental Policy Act and its implementing regulations at
40 CFR part 1500, and in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F--
Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5-6.5a, which
categorically excludes from further environmental impact review
rulemaking actions that designate or modify classes of airspace areas,
airways, routes, and reporting points (see 14 CFR part 71, Designation
of Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas; Air Traffic Service Routes;
and Reporting Points). As such, this action is not expected to cause
any potentially significant environmental impacts. In accordance with
FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5-2 regarding Extraordinary Circumstances,
this action has been reviewed for factors and circumstances in which a
normally categorically excluded action may have a significant
environmental impact requiring further analysis, and it is determined
that no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of
an environmental assessment.
