Amendment of Class D Airspace and
Class E Airspace, East Hampton and
Montauk, NY
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This action amends Class D
airspace, Class E surface airspace, and
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface for East
Hampton Town Airport, East Hampton,
NY, by updating the airport name. In
addition, this action makes an editorial
change, removing the reference to Block
Island, R.I., and East Hampton from the
Class E airspace description of Montauk
Airport, Montauk, NY, and updates the
airport’s geographic coordinates. This
action does not change the airspace
boundaries or operating requirements of
either airport.
DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, February 23,
2023. The Director of the Federal
Register approves this incorporation by
reference action under 1 CFR part 51,
subject to the annual revision of FAA
Order JO 7400.11 and publication of
conforming amendments.

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 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 amends
airspace in East Hampton and Montauk,
NY, to support IFR operations in the
area. This update is an administrative
change and does not change the airspace
boundaries or operating requirements.
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 7400.11F 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 amendment to 14 CFR part 71
amends the Class D airspace, Class E
surface airspace, and Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at East Hampton Town
Airport (formerly East Hampton
Airport), East Hampton, NY, by
updating the airport’s name. In addition,
this action amends Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Montauk, Airport,
Montauk, NY, by removing the reference
of Block Island, R.I. and East Hampton,
NY, from the airspace description, as it
is unnecessary. Also, the Montauk
Airport’s geographic coordinates are
updated to coincide with the FAA’s
database.
This action is an administrative
change and does not affect the airspace
boundaries or operating requirements;
therefore, notice and public procedure
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) is unnecessary.
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 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.
Environmental Review
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 5–6.5a. 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.

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.
History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA–2022–0906, in the Federal
Register (87 FR 44035; July 25, 2022).
Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the
proposal. No comments were received.
United States RNAV 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 RNAV routes listed in
this document will be subsequently
published in FAA Order JO 7400.11.
Differences From the NPRM
Subsequent to the publication of the
NPRM, the FAA determined that
additional planning and coordination
were required before implementing
changes to RNAV routes T–255 and T–
393. These routes are removed from this
rule and will be processed by another
docket action at a later date.
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 three low altitude RNAV Troutes, and establishing five T-routes in
the eastern United States to support the
VOR MON Program, and the transition
of the NAS from ground-based
navigation aids to satellite-based
navigation. The route changes are
described below.
T–209: T–209 extends from the
EHEJO, GA, Fix, to the Colliers, SC
(IRQ), VHF Omnidirectional Range and
Tactical Air Navigational System
(VORTAC). This action deletes the
existing segments of the route. Instead,
T–209 is realigned to the east of its
current track to overlay VOR Federal
airway V–185 from the Savannah, GA
(SAV), VORTAC, to the Sugarloaf, NC
