AGENCY:
This action amends a final
rule published by the FAA in the
Federal Register on December 7, 2022,
that, among other actions, amended area
navigation (RNAV) route T–224 by
removing the AXEJA, AL, computer
navigation fix (CNF) from the route
description. This action re-inserts
AXEJA into the T–224 description as an
RNAV waypoint (WP) instead of a CNF.
This action is necessary to match the
FAA National Airspace System
Resource (NASR) database information.

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,
Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that
E:\FR\FM\09FER1.SGM
09FER1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 27 / Thursday, February 9, 2023 / Rules and Regulations
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.
History
The FAA published a final rule for
Docket No. FAA–2022–0932, in the
Federal Register (87 FR 74962;
December 7, 2022) amending, in part,
RNAV route T–224 by removing the
AXEJA, AL, computer navigation fix
(CNF) from the route description. The
AXEJA Fix is a CNF. As described in the
Aeronautical Information Manual
(AIM), a CNF is a point described by a
latitude/longitude coordinate that is
required to support area navigation
(RNAV) system operations. The GPS
receiver uses CNFs in conjunction with
WPs to navigate from point to point.
However, CNFs are not used for air
traffic control or communication
purposes, and pilots do not use them for
filing flight plans or navigating along a
route. For that reason, the FAA removed
the AXEJA, AL, CNF from the route
description.
After publishing the rule, the FAA
decided to convert AXEJA from a CNF
to an RNAV WP. A WP is most often
used in RNAV routes to indicate a
change in direction or altitude along the
route. With this change, it is appropriate
to use AXEJA in the T–224 description.
Therefore, this action re-inserts AXEJA
into the T–224 description as a WP.
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 published
subsequently in FAA Order JO 7400.11.
The Rule
This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by
including the reference to AXEJA, AL,
WP for the reasons explained under the
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
T–224
16:00 Feb 08, 2023
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 re-inserting AXEJA into the T–
224 description as an RNAV WP instead
of a CNF, 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–
6.5b, 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.

The Amendment
In consideration of the foregoing, the
Federal Aviation Administration
amends 14 CFR part 71 as follows:

amended area navigation (RNAV) route T-224 by removing the AXEJA, AL,
computer navigation fix (CNF) from the route description. This action
re-inserts AXEJA into the T-224 description as an RNAV waypoint (WP)
instead of a CNF. This action is necessary to match the FAA National
Airspace System Resource (NASR) database information.
DATES: Effective date 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.

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
[[Page 8353]]
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.
History
The FAA published a final rule for Docket No. FAA-2022-0932, in the
Federal Register (87 FR 74962; December 7, 2022) amending, in part,
RNAV route T-224 by removing the AXEJA, AL, computer navigation fix
(CNF) from the route description. The AXEJA Fix is a CNF. As described
in the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM), a CNF is a point
described by a latitude/longitude coordinate that is required to
support area navigation (RNAV) system operations. The GPS receiver uses
CNFs in conjunction with WPs to navigate from point to point. However,
CNFs are not used for air traffic control or communication purposes,
and pilots do not use them for filing flight plans or navigating along
a route. For that reason, the FAA removed the AXEJA, AL, CNF from the
route description.
After publishing the rule, the FAA decided to convert AXEJA from a
CNF to an RNAV WP. A WP is most often used in RNAV routes to indicate a
change in direction or altitude along the route. With this change, it
is appropriate to use AXEJA in the T-224 description. Therefore, this
action re-inserts AXEJA into the T-224 description as a WP.
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 published subsequently in FAA
Order JO 7400.11.
The Rule
This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by including the reference to
AXEJA, AL, WP for the reasons explained under the History heading. This
action conforms the route description to match the FAA NASR database
information and does not make any substantive changes to RNAV route T-
224. 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.
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 re-inserting AXEJA into
the T-224 description as an RNAV WP instead of a CNF, 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 5-6.5b, 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.
