This regulation is within the scope of that authority as it modifies the ATS route structure in central Alaska to maintain the efficient flow of air traffic within the National Airspace System. History The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No. FAA 2021–0245 in the Federal Register (86 FR 17553; April 5, 2021), amending Alaskan VOR Federal airway V–436 and Jet route J–125, and establishing RNAV route T–399 in the vicinity of Clear, AK.

FAA Order JO 7400.11G lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting points. The Rule This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by amending Alaskan VOR Federal airway V–436 and Jet route J–125, and establishing RNAV route T–399. The expansion of restricted airspace in the vicinity of Clear, AK, makes this action necessary. The ATS route actions are described below. V–436: V–436 extends between the Anchorage, AK (ANC), VHF Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) and the Deadhorse, AK (SCC), VOR/DME. This action removes the airway segment between the Talkeetna, AK (TKA), VOR/ DME and the Nenana, AK (ENN), VHF Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) and replaces the removed airway segment with an airway segment that extends between the VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:51 Oct 31, 2022 Jkt 259001 Talkeetna, AK (TKA), VOR/DME; the AILEE, AK, waypoint (WP); and the Fairbanks, AK (FAI), VORTAC. As amended, V–436 will extend between the Anchorage, AK, VOR/DME and the Fairbanks, AK, VORTAC. J–125: J–125 extends between the Kodiak, AK (ODK), VOR/DME and the Nenana, AK (ENN), VORTAC. This action removes the route segment between the Anchorage, AK (ANC), VOR/DME and the Nenana, AK (ENN), VORTAC in order to avoid the amended and new restricted areas over Clear, AK. As amended, the route is changed and extends between the Kodiak, AK, VOR/ DME and the Anchorage, AK, VOR/ DME. T–399: T–399 is a new RNAV route that extends between the Talkeetna, AK (TKA), VOR/DME and the Nenana, AK (ENN), VORTAC over the AILEE, AK; PAWWW, AK; and SEAHK, AK, WPs. All navigational aid radials listed in the Alaskan VOR Federal airway description below are unchanged and stated in True degrees. FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is published yearly and effective on September 15. 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), and paragraph 5– 6.5k, which categorically excludes publication of existing air traffic control procedures that do not essentially change existing tracks, create new tracks, change altitude, or change concentration of aircraft on these tracks. 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. 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.

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

[[Page 65676]]

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 ATS 
route structure in central Alaska to maintain the efficient flow of air 
traffic within the National Airspace System.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No. 
FAA 2021-0245 in the Federal Register (86 FR 17553; April 5, 2021), 
amending Alaskan VOR Federal airway V-436 and Jet route J-125, and 
establishing RNAV route T-399 in the vicinity of Clear, AK. Interested 
parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by 
submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments were received.
    Alaskan VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(b), Jet 
Routes are published in paragraph 2004, and United States Area 
Navigation Routes (T-routes) are published in paragraph 6011 of FAA 
Order JO 7400.11G, dated August 19, 2022, and effective September 15, 
2022, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The ATS routes 
listed in this document will be published subsequently in FAA Order JO 
7400.11.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order JO 7400.11G, Airspace Designations 
and Reporting Points, dated August 19, 2022, and effective September 
15, 2022. FAA Order JO 7400.11G is publicly available as listed in the 
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11G lists Class 
A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and 
reporting points.

The Rule

    This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by amending Alaskan VOR Federal 
airway V-436 and Jet route J-125, and establishing RNAV route T-399. 
The expansion of restricted airspace in the vicinity of Clear, AK, 
makes this action necessary. The ATS route actions are described below.
    V-436: V-436 extends between the Anchorage, AK (ANC), VHF 
Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) and the 
Deadhorse, AK (SCC), VOR/DME. This action removes the airway segment 
between the Talkeetna, AK (TKA), VOR/DME and the Nenana, AK (ENN), VHF 
Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) and replaces the 
removed airway segment with an airway segment that extends between the 
Talkeetna, AK (TKA), VOR/DME; the AILEE, AK, waypoint (WP); and the 
Fairbanks, AK (FAI), VORTAC. As amended, V-436 will extend between the 
Anchorage, AK, VOR/DME and the Fairbanks, AK, VORTAC.
    J-125: J-125 extends between the Kodiak, AK (ODK), VOR/DME and the 
Nenana, AK (ENN), VORTAC. This action removes the route segment between 
the Anchorage, AK (ANC), VOR/DME and the Nenana, AK (ENN), VORTAC in 
order to avoid the amended and new restricted areas over Clear, AK. As 
amended, the route is changed and extends between the Kodiak, AK, VOR/
DME and the Anchorage, AK, VOR/DME.
    T-399: T-399 is a new RNAV route that extends between the 
Talkeetna, AK (TKA), VOR/DME and the Nenana, AK (ENN), VORTAC over the 
AILEE, AK; PAWWW, AK; and SEAHK, AK, WPs.
    All navigational aid radials listed in the Alaskan VOR Federal 
airway description below are unchanged and stated in True degrees.
    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 airspace action of amending 
Alaskan VOR Federal airway V-436 and Jet Route J-125, and establishing 
RNAV route T-399 in the vicinity of Clear, AK, 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), and paragraph 5-6.5k, which categorically excludes publication 
of existing air traffic control procedures that do not essentially 
change existing tracks, create new tracks, change altitude, or change 
concentration of aircraft on these tracks. 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.
