Amendment and Establishment of
Multiple Air Traffic Service (ATS)
Routes in the Vicinity of Houston, TX
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This action modifies 3 jet
routes, 2 high altitude area navigation
(RNAV) Q-routes, and 8 VHF
Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal
airways, and establishes 4 low altitude
RNAV T-routes in the vicinity of
Houston, TX. The FAA is taking this
action due to the planned
decommissioning of the Hobby, TX,
VOR/Distance Measuring Equipment
(VOR/DME) navigation aid (NAVAID),
which provides navigation guidance for
portions of the affected ATS routes.
DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, March
26, 2020. The Director of the Federal
Register approves this incorporation by
reference action under Title 1 Code of
Federal Regulations part 51, subject to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Authority for This Rulemaking
The FAA’s authority to issue rules
regarding aviation safety is found in
Title 49 of the United States Code.
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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 in the National Airspace
System as necessary to preserve the safe
and efficient flow of air traffic.
History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register for Docket No. FAA–2018–0817
(83 FR 48730; September 27, 2018) to
amend 3 jet routes, 2 RNAV Q-routes,
and 8 VOR Federal airways, and
establish 4 RNAV T-routes due to the
planned decommissioning of the Hobby,
TX, VOR/DME. Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments
on the proposal. One supportive
comment was received.
The NPRM stated that the Hobby, TX,
VOR/DME was being decommissioned
in support of construction activities for
a new international terminal and
associated parking garage at the William
P. Hobby Airport, Houston, TX. That
was based on the Houston Airport
System’s September 2018 request that
the FAA permanently turn off and
remove the Hobby VOR/DME located on
the Houston Hobby Airport parking
garage as the VOR had been out of
service for several months due to
construction of the new international
terminal and parking garage. However,
prior to the Houston Airport System
request, the FAA initiated a plan for
reducing the number of VORs.
On December 15, 2011, the FAA
published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed policy and request
for comments (76 FR 77939) on the
FAA’s proposed strategy for gradually
reducing the current VOR network to a
Minimum Operational Network (MON)
as the National Airspace System (NAS)
transitions to performance-based
navigation (PBN) as part of the Next
Generation Air Transportation System
(NextGen). The FAA reviewed all
comments received and on August 21,
2012, published in the Federal Register
the disposition of the comments on the
notice of proposed policy (77 FR 50420).
In considering and disposing of the
comments, the FAA noted that it would
develop an initial VOR MON Plan
E:\FR\FM\23JAR1.SGM
23JAR1
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 15 / Thursday, January 23, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
which would be made publicly
available.
On July 26, 2016, the FAA published
in the Federal Register the VOR MON
final policy statement (81 FR 48694)
announcing the discontinuance
selection criteria and candidate list of
VOR navigational aids targeted for
discontinuance as part of the VOR MON
Implementation Program and NAS
Efficient Streamline Services Initiative.
This action is part of that national
strategy.
Jet Routes are published in paragraph
2004, high altitude RNAV Q-routes are
published in paragraph 2006, Domestic
VOR Federal airways are published in
paragraph 6010(a), and low altitude
RNAV T-routes are published in
paragraph 6011 of FAA Order 7400.11D
dated August 8, 2019, and effective
September 15, 2019, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The jet routes, Q-routes, VOR
Federal airways, and T-routes listed in
this document will be subsequently

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
E:\FR\FM\23JAR1.SGM
23JAR1
3816
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 15 / Thursday, January 23, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
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 ATS routes J–37, J–
138, J–177, Q–24, Q–56, V–15, V–20, V–
68, V–76, V–194, V–198, V–548, and V–
558, and establishing T–200, T–220, T–
224, and T–256 near Hobby, TX,
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 result in any
potentially significant environmental
impacts. In accordance with FAA Order
1050.1F, paragraph 5–2 regarding
Extraordinary Circumstances, the FAA
has reviewed this action for factors and
circumstances in which a normally
categorically excluded action may have
a significant environmental impact
requiring further analysis. The FAA has
determined that no extraordinary
circumstances exist that warrant
preparation of an environmental
assessment or environmental impact
study.

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 modifies the route structure in the National Airspace
System as necessary to preserve the safe and efficient flow of air
traffic.
History
The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register for Docket No. FAA-2018-0817 (83 FR 48730; September 27, 2018)
to amend 3 jet routes, 2 RNAV Q-routes, and 8 VOR Federal airways, and
establish 4 RNAV T-routes due to the planned decommissioning of the
Hobby, TX, VOR/DME. Interested parties were invited to participate in
this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal.
One supportive comment was received.
The NPRM stated that the Hobby, TX, VOR/DME was being
decommissioned in support of construction activities for a new
international terminal and associated parking garage at the William P.
Hobby Airport, Houston, TX. That was based on the Houston Airport
System's September 2018 request that the FAA permanently turn off and
remove the Hobby VOR/DME located on the Houston Hobby Airport parking
garage as the VOR had been out of service for several months due to
construction of the new international terminal and parking garage.
However, prior to the Houston Airport System request, the FAA initiated
a plan for reducing the number of VORs.
On December 15, 2011, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed policy and request for comments (76 FR 77939) on the
FAA's proposed strategy for gradually reducing the current VOR network
to a Minimum Operational Network (MON) as the National Airspace System
(NAS) transitions to performance-based navigation (PBN) as part of the
Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). The FAA reviewed
all comments received and on August 21, 2012, published in the Federal
Register the disposition of the comments on the notice of proposed
policy (77 FR 50420). In considering and disposing of the comments, the
FAA noted that it would develop an initial VOR MON Plan
[[Page 3815]]
which would be made publicly available.
On July 26, 2016, the FAA published in the Federal Register the VOR
MON final policy statement (81 FR 48694) announcing the discontinuance
selection criteria and candidate list of VOR navigational aids targeted
for discontinuance as part of the VOR MON Implementation Program and
NAS Efficient Streamline Services Initiative. This action is part of
that national strategy.
Jet Routes are published in paragraph 2004, high altitude RNAV Q-
routes are published in paragraph 2006, Domestic VOR Federal airways
are published in paragraph 6010(a), and low altitude RNAV T-routes are
published in paragraph 6011 of FAA Order 7400.11D dated August 8, 2019,
and effective September 15, 2019, which is incorporated by reference in
14 CFR 71.1. The jet routes, Q-routes, VOR Federal airways, and T-
routes listed in this document will be subsequently published in the
Order.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.
Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document amends FAA Order 7400.11D, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 8, 2019, and effective September 15,
2019. FAA Order 7400.11D is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11D 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 modifying 3 jet routes, 2 Q-routes, and 8 VOR Federal
airways, and establishing 4 T-routes due to the planned decommissioning
of the Hobby, TX, VOR/DME. The ATS route amendments are to the
descriptions of J-37, J-138, J-177, Q-24, Q-56, V-15, V-20, V-68, V-76,
V-194, V-198, V-548, and V-558, and the new T-routes would be
designated T-200, T-220, T-224, and T-256. The ATS route changes are
outlined below. Full ATS route descriptions are in the ``Adoption of
the Amendment'' section of this document.
The jet route amendments are as follows:
J-37: J-37 extends between the Hobby, TX, VOR/DME and the Coyle,
NJ, VOR/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC); and between the Kennedy, NY,
VOR/DME and the Massena, NY, VORTAC. The airway segment between the
Hobby, TX, VOR/DME and the Harvey, LA, VORTAC is removed. The
unaffected portions of the existing airway remain as charted.

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
[[Page 3816]]
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 ATS routes J-
37, J-138, J-177, Q-24, Q-56, V-15, V-20, V-68, V-76, V-194, V-198, V-
548, and V-558, and establishing T-200, T-220, T-224, and T-256 near
Hobby, TX, 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 result in any
potentially significant environmental impacts. In accordance with FAA
Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5-2 regarding Extraordinary Circumstances, the
FAA has reviewed this action for factors and circumstances in which a
normally categorically excluded action may have a significant
environmental impact requiring further analysis. The FAA has determined
that no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of
an environmental assessment or environmental impact study.
