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 as necessary to preserve
the safe and efficient flow of air traffic
within the National Airspace System.
History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA–2022–0858 in the Federal Register
(87 FR 45719; July 29, 2022), to
establish Area Navigation (RNAV) route
Q–141 and amend RNAV route Q–437
in support of the Northeast Corridor
Atlantic Coast Route Project. Interested
parties were invited to participate in
this rulemaking effort by submitting
written comments on the proposal. No
comments were received.
United States Area Navigation routes
are published in paragraph 2006 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 RNAV 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.G, 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
establishing RNAV route Q–141, and
amending RNAV route Q–437 in the
eastern United States in support of the
Northeast Corridor Atlantic Coast Route
project.
Q–141: Q–141 is a new route that
extends from the HOUKY, VA,
waypoint (WP) (located in the vicinity
of the Hopewell, VA (HPW), VHF
Omnidirectional Range and Tactical Air

Navigational System (VORTAC)) to the
NALES, DE, WP. Q–141 expands the
availability of RNAV routing in the area.
Q–437: Q–437 extends from the
VILLS, NJ, Fix, (located northwest of the
Sea Isle, NJ (SIE), VORTAC to the
SLANG, VT, WP (located northeast of
the Cambridge, NY (CAM), VHF
Omnidirectional Range/Distance
Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME)). The
FAA is terminating the route at the
LLUND, NY, Fix (located north of the
Kennedy, NY (JFK), VOR/DME). All
points north of the LLUND Fix (i.e.,
BINGS, WARUV, and SLANG) are
removed from the route. This is based
on low demand for those segments and
is a better fit traffic flows in the area.
Additionally, the LUIGI, NJ, Fix is
removed from the route description
because it does not mark a turn point.
The full descriptions of Q–141 and Q–
437 are listed in the amendments to part
71 set forth below.
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
action of establishing RNAV route Q–
141 and amending Q–437 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
E:\FR\FM\07DER1.SGM
07DER1
74966
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 234 / Wednesday, December 7, 2022 / Rules and Regulations
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–
6.5b, which categorically excludes from
further environmental impact review
‘‘Actions regarding establishment of jet
routes and Federal airways (see 14 CFR
71.15, Designation of jet routes and VOR
Federal airways). . .’’. 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.

categorically excludes from further environmental impact review
rulemaking actions that designate or modify classes of airspace areas,
