Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document amends FAA Order JO
7400.11F, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 10,
2021, and effective September 15, 2021.
FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly
available as listed in the ADDRESSES
section of this document. FAA Order JO
7400.11F lists Class A, B, C, D, and E
airspace areas, air traffic service routes,
and reporting points.
The Rule
This amendment to 14 CFR part 71
amends the Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
to within a 6.5-mile (increased from a
6.3-mile) radius of Grove Municipal
Airport, Grove, OK; removes the
extensions south and north of Grove
Municipal Airport from the airspace
legal description as they are no longer
needed; removes the Grove General
Hospital Heliport, Grove, OK, and the
associated airspace as the instrument
procedures to the heliport have been
cancelled and the airspace is no longer
required; and updates the geographic
coordinates of the airport to coincide
with the FAA’s aeronautical database.
This action is the result of an airspace
review conducted as part of the
decommissioning of the Neosho VOR,
which provided navigation information
for the instrument procedures at this
airport, as part of the VOR MON
Program.
FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on
September 15.

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 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.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
The FAA has determined that this
action qualifies for categorical exclusion
under the National Environmental
Policy Act in accordance with FAA
Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental
Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’
paragraph 5–6.5.a. This airspace action
is not expected to cause any potentially
significant environmental impacts, and
no extraordinary circumstances exist
that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

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.
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,
E:\FR\FM\15MRR1.SGM
15MRR1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 50 / Tuesday, March 15, 2022 / Rules and Regulations
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 as necessary to preserve
the safe and efficient flow of air traffic
within the NAS.

Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document amends FAA Order JO
7400.11F, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 10,
2021, and effective September 15, 2021.
FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly
available as listed in the ADDRESSES
section of this document. FAA Order JO
7400.11F lists Class A, B, C, D, and E
airspace areas, air traffic service routes,
and reporting points.

The Rule
The FAA is amending 14 CFR part 71
by editing the descriptions of RNAV
routes Q–140 and Q–812 to change the
spelling of the waypoint (WP) ‘‘ARKKK,
NY,’’ to ‘‘ARRKK, NY.’’ This is an
editorial change only. The latitude/
longitude coordinates of the WP remain
unchanged, and the alignment of the
routes is the same as currently depicted
on aeronautical charts.
Because this action is a minor
editorial change that does not alter the
currently charted alignment, altitudes,
or Air Traffic Control procedures for
navigation along RNAV routes Q–140
and Q–812, I find that notice and public
procedure under 5 U.S.C § 553(b) are
unnecessary and contrary to the public
interest.
United States Area Navigation Routes
are published in paragraph 2006, and
Canadian Area Navigation Routes are
published in paragraph 2007,
respectively, of FAA JO Order 7400.11F
dated August 10, 2021, and effective
September 15, 2021, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The RNAV routes listed in this
document will be published
subsequently in the Order.
FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on
September 15.
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.
(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. Accordingly,
the FAA has determined that no
extraordinary circumstances exist that
warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment or
environmental impact study.

History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA–2021–0920, in the Federal
Register (86 FR 60186; November 1,
2021), to establish new RNAV routes T–
370, T–398, and T–419 in the southern
and central United States. Interested
parties were invited to participate in
this rulemaking effort by submitting
written comments on the proposal. One
comment was received, but no specifics
pertaining to the proposal were
included.
United States RNAV T-routes are
published in paragraph 6011 of FAA
Order JO 7400.11F, dated August 10,
2021, and effective September 15, 2021,
which is incorporated by reference in 14

[[Page 14393]]
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 as necessary to preserve the safe and efficient flow of
air traffic within the NAS.
Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document amends FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace Designations
and Reporting Points, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September
15, 2021. FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F lists Class
A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.
The Rule
The FAA is amending 14 CFR part 71 by editing the descriptions of
RNAV routes Q-140 and Q-812 to change the spelling of the waypoint (WP)
``ARKKK, NY,'' to ``ARRKK, NY.'' This is an editorial change only. The
latitude/longitude coordinates of the WP remain unchanged, and the
alignment of the routes is the same as currently depicted on
aeronautical charts.
Because this action is a minor editorial change that does not alter
the currently charted alignment, altitudes, or Air Traffic Control
procedures for navigation along RNAV routes Q-140 and Q-812, I find
that notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C Sec. 553(b) are
unnecessary and contrary to the public interest.
United States Area Navigation Routes are published in paragraph
2006, and Canadian Area Navigation Routes are published in paragraph
2007, respectively, of FAA JO Order 7400.11F dated August 10, 2021, and
effective September 15, 2021, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The RNAV routes listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.
FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
is published yearly and effective on September 15.
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 editorial change to the
descriptions of RNAV routes Q-140 and Q-812 qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321
et seq.) 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. Accordingly, the FAA has determined that no extraordinary
circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental
assessment or environmental impact study.
