Amendment of Air Traffic Service
(ATS) Routes V–82, V–217, and T–383
in the Vicinity of Baudette, MN
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule, delay of effective
date.
AGENCY:
This action changes the
effective date of a final rule published
in the Federal Register on February 21,
2020, amending VHF Omnidirectional
Range (VOR) Federal airways V–82 and
V–217, and area navigation (RNAV)
route T–383 in the vicinity of Baudette,
MN. The ATS route amendments were
due to the planned decommissioning of
the Baudette VOR. The FAA is delaying
the effective date to coincide with the
expected completion of the Minnesota
Department of Transportation (DOT)
purchase and flight check of a new
Distance Measuring Equipment (DME)
facility to support the Instrument
Landing System (ILS) or Localizer (LOC)
Approach to Runway (RWY) 31
instrument approach procedure, which
is affected by the loss of the Baudette
VOR, at Warroad International
Memorial Airport, MN.
DATES: The effective date of the final
rule published on February 21, 2020 (85
FR 10054) is delayed until September
10, 2020. The Director of the Federal
Register approved this incorporation by
reference action under Title 1 Code of
Federal Regulations part 51, subject to
the annual revision of FAA Order
7400.11 and publication of conforming
amendments.

The FAA published a final rule in the
Federal Register for Docket No. FAA–
2019–0729 (85 FR 10054, February 21,
2020), amending VOR Federal airways
V–82 and V–217, and RNAV route T–
383 in the vicinity of Baudette, MN. The
effective date for that final rule is May
21, 2020. However, the
decommissioning of the Baudette, MN,
VOR has a direct impact on the ILS or
LOC RWY 31 instrument approach
procedure at Warroad International
Memorial Airport, MN, because the
DME required for this procedure is out
of service.
The Minnesota DOT is currently in
the process of purchasing new DME
equipment to install at the Warroad
International Memorial Airport, MN.
Upon purchase and installation of the
new equipment, Minnesota DOT has
committed to have the required Flight
Inspection completed and the DME
certified for use by September 10, 2020;
therefore, the rule amending V–82, V–
217, and T–383 is delayed to coincide
with that date.
VOR Federal airways are published in
paragraph 6010(a) and 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 VOR Federal airways and
RNAV T-route 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.
Good Cause for No Notice and
Comment
Section 553(b)(3)(B) of Title 5, United
States Code, (the Administrative
Procedure Act) authorizes agencies to
dispense with notice and comment
procedures for rules when the agency
for ‘‘good cause’’ finds that those
procedures are ‘‘impracticable,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.’’ Under this section, an agency,
upon finding good cause, may issue a
final rule without seeking comment
prior to the rulemaking. The FAA finds
that prior notice and public comment to
this final rule is unnecessary due to the
brief length of the extension of the
effective date and the fact that there is
no substantive change to the rule.’’

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 the
air traffic service route structure in the
southeastern United States to maintain
the efficient flow of air traffic.

History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA–2019–0687 in the Federal Register
(84 FR 51068; September 27, 2019)
amending 12 existing Q-routes, in the
southeastern United States in support of
the Florida Metroplex Project. Interested
parties were invited to participate in
this rulemaking effort by submitting
written comments on the proposal. No
comments were received.
Differences From the NPRM
The preamble text in the NPRM
proposed to amend the descriptions of
numerous existing Q routes. However,
the regulatory text in the NPRM
incorrectly listed seven of the routes as
‘‘new’’ instead of ‘‘amended’’ routes.
This rule corrects the regulatory text by
replacing ‘‘new’’ with ‘‘amended’’ in the
title lines of the descriptions for the
affected Q routes. This change is
editorial only, and does not alter the
alignment of the affected routes.
Additionally, the NPRM proposed to
add the OVENP, FL, and SUSYQ, GA
waypoints (WP) to the description of Q–
87. Subsequently, the FAA determined
that the two WPs are not required in the
part 71 description of Q–87 because
they do not signify a course change for
the route. As a result, there is no need
to amend the part 71 route description
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:59 Mar 23, 2020
Jkt 250001
to add the WPs to Q–87. Consequently,
Q–87 is removed from this final rule.
Area navigation routes are published
in paragraph 2006, 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 area navigation 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 amending 11 existing Q-routes, in the
southeastern United States in support of
the Florida Metroplex Project. The
amendments add additional waypoints
(WP) to various Q-routes. These added
WPs give air traffic controllers more
predictability, and provide users with
more options when filing flight plans.
Amendments are made to the
descriptions of the following routes: Q–
65, Q–77, Q–79, Q–81, Q–85, Q–93, Q–
99, Q–109, Q–110, Q–116, and Q–118.
The Q-route amendments are as
follows (full route descriptions are
listed in ‘‘The Amendment’’ section,
below):
Q–65: Q–65 extends between the
KPASA, FL, WP, and the Rosewood,
OH, VORTAC. The FAA is relocating
the southern end point of the route by
approximately 50 nautical miles (NM) to
the southwest from the KPASA, FL, WP,
to the MGNTY, FL, WP (located near the
St Petersburg, FL, (PIE) VORTAC. The
KPASA WP is removed from the route.
The purpose of this amendment is to
realign the southern end of Q–65 to a
point over Florida’s west coast thereby
enhancing separation from other air
traffic using central Florida routes. The
rest of Q–65 (between DOFFY, FL, and
Rosewood, OH), remains as currently
charted.
Q–77: Q–77 extends between the
OCTAL, FL, WP, and the WIGVO, GA,
WP. This action updates the latitude/
longitude coordinates for the OCTAL,
PO 00000
Frm 00016
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
FL, the STYMY, FL, and the WAKKO,
FL, WPs. The coordinates for the
OCTAL, FL, WP are changed from ‘‘Lat.
26°09′01.91″ N, long. 080°06′37.51″ W,’’
to ‘‘Lat. 26°09′01.92″ N, long.
080°12′11.60″ W’’ This moves OCTAL
approximately 5 NM to the west of its
current position. The STYMY, FL, WP,
coordinates are changed from ‘‘Lat.
28°01′09.65″ N, long. 081°08′41.27″ W,’’
to ‘‘Lat. 28°02′12.25″ N, long.
081°09′05.47″ W.’’ This moves STYMY
approximately 1 NM to the north of its
current position. The WAKKO, FL, WP
coordinates are changed from ‘‘Lat.
28°18′00.69″ N, long. 081°24′53.49″ W,’’
to ‘‘Lat. 28°20′31.57″ N, long.
081°18′32.14″ W.’’ This change moves
WAKKO approximately 6 NM to the
east of its current position. Updating the
coordinates for these WPs provides ‘‘tieins’’ for new procedures to Q–77. The
FAA is also removing the WASUL, FL,
WP (located between the WAKKO, FL,
and the MJAMS, FL, WPs) from Q–77.
Removal of the WASUL WP, along with
the updated positions of the STYMY
and WAKKO WPs, allow for
straightening of the route segments
between the STYMY and MJAMS WPs.
Q–79: Q–79 extends between the
MCLAW, FL, WP, and the Atlanta, GA,
(ATL) VORTAC. This action adds two
new points: the EVANZ, FL, and the
IISLY, GA, WPs, between the existing
DOFFY, FL, and the YUESS, GA, WPs.
Q–81: Q–81 extends between the
TUNSL, FL, WP, and the HONID, GA,
WP. The MGNTY, FL, WP is added
between the existing FARLU, FL, and
the ENDEW, FL, WPs. The SNAPY, FL,
the BULZI, FL, and the IPOKE, GA, WPs
are be added between the existing
NICKI, FL, and the HONID, GA, WPs.
Q–85: Q–85 extends between the
LPERD, FL, WP, and the SMPRR, NC,
WP. This change adds the BEEGE, GA,
WP between the existing LPERD, FL,
and the GIPPL, GA, WPs.
Q–93: Q–93 extends between the
MCLAW, FL, WP, and the QUIWE, SC,
WP. The SUSYQ, GA, WP is added
between the existing GIPPL, GA, and the
ISUZO, GA, WPs. The GURGE, SC, WP
is added between the ISUZO, GA, and
the FISHO, SC, WPs.
Q–99: Q–99 extends between the
DOFFY, FL, WP, and the POLYY, NC,
WP. This action extends the southern
end of the route from the current
DOFFY, FL, WP approximately 75 NM
southeast to the KPASA, FL, WP.
Adding the KPASA WP expands the
availability of RNAV routing in the area.
The rest of Q–99 (between DOFFY, FL,
and POLYY, NC), remains as currently
charted.
Q–109: Q–109 extends between the
DOFFY, FL, WP, and the LAANA, NC,

24MRR1
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 57 / Tuesday, March 24, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
lotter on DSKBCFDHB2PROD with RULES
WP. This action relocates the southern
end of the route from the current
DOFFY, FL, WP, to the KNOST, OG, WP
(which is located over the Gulf of
Mexico, approximately 78 NM
southwest of the DOFFY, WP). The
DOFFY, WP is removed from Q–109.
This change provides connection to the
U.S. National Airspace System for users
from Mexico and Central America. In
addition, the DEANER, FL, the BRUTS,
FL, and the EVANZ, FL, WPs are added
to the route between the KNOST, OG,
WP, and the CAMJO, FL, WP. After
CAMJO, Q–109 extends to the LAANA,
NC, WP, as currently charted.
Q–110: Q–110 extends between the
BLANS, IL, WP, and the OCTAL, FL,
WP. The coordinates for the OCTAL, FL,
WP are updated as described above. In
addition, an editorial change is made to
the order of the WPs listed in the Q–110
description and published in FAA
Order 7400.11D. Currently, the route
description lists the points from
‘‘BLANS, IL, to OCTAL, FL.’’ This
change simply reverses the order of the
points listed in the Q–110 description in
Order 7400.11D to read ‘‘OCTAL, FL, to
BLANS, IL.’’ This change matches
airspace database documentation.
Except for the change to the OCTAL, FL,
WP coordinates, the amendment the
order of points does not affect the
alignment of Q–110.
Q–116: Q–116 extends between the
Vulcan, AL, (VUZ) VORTAC, and the
OCTAL, FL, WP. Q–116 is amended by
updating the coordinates for the
OCTAL, FL, WP, as described above. In
addition, the DEANR, FL, WP is added
between the existing MICES, FL, and the
PATOY, FL, WPs.
Q–118: Q–118 extends between the
Marion, IN, (MZZ) VOR/DME, and the
PEAKY, FL, WP, FL. The BRIES, FL, WP
is removed from the route description as
it is no longer required for air traffic
control purposes.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
Note: In the regulatory text, below,
some route descriptions include
waypoints located over international
waters. In those route descriptions, in
place of a two-letter state abbreviation,
either ‘‘OA,’’ meaning ‘‘Offshore
Atlantic,’’ or ‘‘OG,’’ meaning ‘‘Offshore
Gulf of Mexico,’’ is used.
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
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.

This action amends Class D

from 700 feet above the surface at Boire
Field, Nashua, NH, to accommodate
airspace reconfiguration due to the
decommissioning of CHERN nondirectional beacon, and cancellation of
the associated approaches. Controlled
airspace is necessary for the safety and
management of instrument flight rules
(IFR) operations at this airport. This
action also updates the geographic
coordinates of this airport, as well as
Manchester VOR/DME. In addition, this
action recognizes the name change of
Pepperell Airport (formerly Sports
Center Airport). This action also
replaces the outdated term Airport/
Facility Directory with the term Chart
Supplement in the legal descriptions of
associated Class D and E airspace of
Boire Field. Also, the FAA inadvertently
failed to address the purpose of the
radius of Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
increasing from 7.0 miles to 7.9 miles.
In addition, the Manchester VOR/DME
was incorrectly identified as VORTAC.
This action corrects these errors.
Effective 0901 UTC, May 21,
2020. The Director of the Federal
Register approves this incorporation by

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 the air traffic service route structure in the
southeastern United States to maintain the efficient flow of air
traffic.
History
The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA-2019-0687 in the Federal Register (84 FR 51068; September 27, 2019)
amending 12 existing Q-routes, in the southeastern United States in
support of the Florida Metroplex Project. Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written
comments on the proposal. No comments were received.
Differences From the NPRM
The preamble text in the NPRM proposed to amend the descriptions of
numerous existing Q routes. However, the regulatory text in the NPRM
incorrectly listed seven of the routes as ``new'' instead of
``amended'' routes. This rule corrects the regulatory text by replacing
``new'' with ``amended'' in the title lines of the descriptions for the
affected Q routes. This change is editorial only, and does not alter
the alignment of the affected routes.
Additionally, the NPRM proposed to add the OVENP, FL, and SUSYQ, GA
waypoints (WP) to the description of Q-87. Subsequently, the FAA
determined that the two WPs are not required in the part 71 description
of Q-87 because they do not signify a course change for the route. As a
result, there is no need to amend the part 71 route description to add
the WPs to Q-87. Consequently, Q-87 is removed from this final rule.
Area navigation routes are published in paragraph 2006, 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 area navigation
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 amending 11 existing Q-routes, in the southeastern United
States in support of the Florida Metroplex Project. The amendments add
additional waypoints (WP) to various Q-routes. These added WPs give air
traffic controllers more predictability, and provide users with more
options when filing flight plans. Amendments are made to the
descriptions of the following routes: Q-65, Q-77, Q-79, Q-81, Q-85, Q-
93, Q-99, Q-109, Q-110, Q-116, and Q-118.
The Q-route amendments are as follows (full route descriptions are
listed in ``The Amendment'' section, below):
Q-65: Q-65 extends between the KPASA, FL, WP, and the Rosewood, OH,
VORTAC. The FAA is relocating the southern end point of the route by
approximately 50 nautical miles (NM) to the southwest from the KPASA,
FL, WP, to the MGNTY, FL, WP (located near the St Petersburg, FL, (PIE)
VORTAC. The KPASA WP is removed from the route. The purpose of this
amendment is to realign the southern end of Q-65 to a point over
Florida's west coast thereby enhancing separation from other air
traffic using central Florida routes. The rest of Q-65 (between DOFFY,
FL, and Rosewood, OH), remains as currently charted.
Q-77: Q-77 extends between the OCTAL, FL, WP, and the WIGVO, GA,
WP. This action updates the latitude/longitude coordinates for the
OCTAL, FL, the STYMY, FL, and the WAKKO, FL, WPs. The coordinates for
the OCTAL, FL, WP are changed from ``Lat. 26[deg]09'01.91'' N, long.
080[deg]06'37.51'' W,'' to ``Lat. 26[deg]09'01.92'' N, long.
080[deg]12'11.60'' W'' This moves OCTAL approximately 5 NM to the west
of its current position. The STYMY, FL, WP, coordinates are changed
from ``Lat. 28[deg]01'09.65'' N, long. 081[deg]08'41.27'' W,'' to
``Lat. 28[deg]02'12.25'' N, long. 081[deg]09'05.47'' W.'' This moves
STYMY approximately 1 NM to the north of its current position. The
WAKKO, FL, WP coordinates are changed from ``Lat. 28[deg]18'00.69'' N,
long. 081[deg]24'53.49'' W,'' to ``Lat. 28[deg]20'31.57'' N, long.
081[deg]18'32.14'' W.'' This change moves WAKKO approximately 6 NM to
the east of its current position. Updating the coordinates for these
WPs provides ``tie-ins'' for new procedures to Q-77. The FAA is also
removing the WASUL, FL, WP (located between the WAKKO, FL, and the
MJAMS, FL, WPs) from Q-77. Removal of the WASUL WP, along with the
updated positions of the STYMY and WAKKO WPs, allow for straightening
of the route segments between the STYMY and MJAMS WPs.
Q-79: Q-79 extends between the MCLAW, FL, WP, and the Atlanta, GA,
(ATL) VORTAC. This action adds two new points: the EVANZ, FL, and the
IISLY, GA, WPs, between the existing DOFFY, FL, and the YUESS, GA, WPs.
Q-81: Q-81 extends between the TUNSL, FL, WP, and the HONID, GA,
WP. The MGNTY, FL, WP is added between the existing FARLU, FL, and the
ENDEW, FL, WPs. The SNAPY, FL, the BULZI, FL, and the IPOKE, GA, WPs
are be added between the existing NICKI, FL, and the HONID, GA, WPs.
Q-85: Q-85 extends between the LPERD, FL, WP, and the SMPRR, NC,
WP. This change adds the BEEGE, GA, WP between the existing LPERD, FL,
and the GIPPL, GA, WPs.
Q-93: Q-93 extends between the MCLAW, FL, WP, and the QUIWE, SC,
WP. The SUSYQ, GA, WP is added between the existing GIPPL, GA, and the
ISUZO, GA, WPs. The GURGE, SC, WP is added between the ISUZO, GA, and
the FISHO, SC, WPs.
Q-99: Q-99 extends between the DOFFY, FL, WP, and the POLYY, NC,
WP. This action extends the southern end of the route from the current
DOFFY, FL, WP approximately 75 NM southeast to the KPASA, FL, WP.
Adding the KPASA WP expands the availability of RNAV routing in the
area. The rest of Q-99 (between DOFFY, FL, and POLYY, NC), remains as
currently charted.
Q-109: Q-109 extends between the DOFFY, FL, WP, and the LAANA, NC,
[[Page 16535]]
WP. This action relocates the southern end of the route from the
current DOFFY, FL, WP, to the KNOST, OG, WP (which is located over the
Gulf of Mexico, approximately 78 NM southwest of the DOFFY, WP). The
DOFFY, WP is removed from Q-109. This change provides connection to the
U.S. National Airspace System for users from Mexico and Central
America. In addition, the DEANER, FL, the BRUTS, FL, and the EVANZ, FL,
WPs are added to the route between the KNOST, OG, WP, and the CAMJO,
FL, WP. After CAMJO, Q-109 extends to the LAANA, NC, WP, as currently
charted.
Q-110: Q-110 extends between the BLANS, IL, WP, and the OCTAL, FL,
WP. The coordinates for the OCTAL, FL, WP are updated as described
above. In addition, an editorial change is made to the order of the WPs
listed in the Q-110 description and published in FAA Order 7400.11D.
Currently, the route description lists the points from ``BLANS, IL, to
OCTAL, FL.'' This change simply reverses the order of the points listed
in the Q-110 description in Order 7400.11D to read ``OCTAL, FL, to
BLANS, IL.'' This change matches airspace database documentation.
Except for the change to the OCTAL, FL, WP coordinates, the amendment
the order of points does not affect the alignment of Q-110.
Q-116: Q-116 extends between the Vulcan, AL, (VUZ) VORTAC, and the
OCTAL, FL, WP. Q-116 is amended by updating the coordinates for the
OCTAL, FL, WP, as described above. In addition, the DEANR, FL, WP is
added between the existing MICES, FL, and the PATOY, FL, WPs.
Q-118: Q-118 extends between the Marion, IN, (MZZ) VOR/DME, and the
PEAKY, FL, WP, FL. The BRIES, FL, WP is removed from the route
description as it is no longer required for air traffic control
purposes.
Note: In the regulatory text, below, some route descriptions
include waypoints located over international waters. In those route
descriptions, in place of a two-letter state abbreviation, either
``OA,'' meaning ``Offshore Atlantic,'' or ``OG,'' meaning ``Offshore
Gulf of Mexico,'' is used.
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 the following
11 high altitude RNAV routes: Q-65, Q-77, Q-79, Q-81, Q-85, Q-93, Q-99,
Q-109, Q-110, Q-116, and Q-118, qualifies for a 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.
