History
The FAA published a final rule for
Docket No. FAA–2022–1424 in the
Federal Register (88 FR 18026; March
27, 2023), amending VOR Federal
airways V–268 and V–474, revoking Jet
Route J–518 and VOR Federal airway V–
119, and establishing RNAV route Q–
178 due to the planned
decommissioning of the VOR portion of
the Indian Head, PA, VOR/Tactical Air
Navigation (VORTAC) navigational aid
(NAVAID). Subsequent to publication,
the FAA determined that the
environmental review categorical
exclusion references listed in the
preamble were incorrect. The final rule
Environmental Review section in the
preamble listed FAA Order 1050.1F,
paragraphs 5–6.5a and 5–6.5k as the
supporting categorical exclusion
references; however, upon further
review, the FAA determined the
references should be FAA Order
1050.1F, paragraphs 5–6.5a and 5–6.5i.
This rule corrects the preamble
discussion of the categorical exclusion
references listed in the Environmental
Review section of the final rule.
This action does not alter the
alignment of the amended, revoked, or
established Air Traffic Service (ATS)
routes listed in the final rule.

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
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 NPRM for
Docket No. FAA–2023–0049, in the
Federal Register (88 FR 7901; February
7, 2023), amending RNAV route Q–101
in the eastern United States.
Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the
proposal. One comment was received.
The commenter expressed support for
the proposal.
Incorporation by Reference
RNAV routes are published in
paragraph 2006 of FAA Order JO
7400.11, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, which is incorporated
by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an
annual basis. This document amends
the current version of that order, FAA
Order JO 7400.11G, 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. These
amendments will be published in the
next update to FAA Order JO 7400.11.
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
expanding RNAV route Q–101 in the
eastern United States. This action
supports the Northeast Corridor Atlantic
Coast Route Project by linking Q–101 to
other east coast Air Traffic Service
routes to enhance air traffic flows.
The route amendment is as follows:
Q–101: Q–101 currently extends
between the SKARP, NC, waypoint
(WP), and the TUGGR, VA, WP. The
FAA is extending Q–101 approximately
10 nautical miles to the north of the
TUGGR WP, to the KALDA, VA, Fix.
This provides additional routing options

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 extending RNAV route Q–101
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. The FAA has
determined that no extraordinary
circumstances exist that warrant
preparation of an environmental
assessment or environmental impact
study.

designation,’’ and (2) the term ‘‘isomer’’
includes the optical, position[al], and
geometric isomers.
When compared to the chemical
structure of pentylone, eutylone meets
the definition of a positional isomer in
21 CFR 1300.01(b), which crossreferences the term ‘‘positional isomer’’
in 21 CFR 1308.11(d). Both pentylone
and eutylone possess the same
molecular formula and core structure,
and they have the same functional
groups. They only differ from one
another by a rearrangement of an alkyl
moiety between functional groups.
Accordingly, under 21 CFR 1308.11(d),
eutylone, as a positional isomer of
pentylone, has been and continues to be
a schedule I controlled substance.1

Drug Enforcement
Administration, Department of Justice.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA) is establishing a
specific listing and DEA Controlled
Substances Code Number (drug code)
for 1-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-2(ethylamino)butan-1-one (also known as
eutylone or bk-EBDB) in schedule I of
the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).
Although eutylone is not specifically
listed in schedule I of the CSA with its
own unique drug code, it has been
controlled in the United States since
March 7, 2014, as a positional isomer of
pentylone, a schedule I hallucinogen.
Therefore, DEA is simply amending the
schedule I hallucinogenic substances
list in its regulations to separately
include eutylone.

SUMMARY:
Eutylone Control
Eutylone (also known as 1-(1,3benzodioxol-5-yl)-2-(ethylamino)butan1-one or bk-EBDB) is a chemical
substance which is structurally related
to pentylone (also known as 1-(1,3benzodioxol-5-yl)-2(methylamino)pentan-1-one or bkMBDP). Pentylone is listed as a
hallucinogenic substance in schedule I
at 21 CFR 1308.11(d)(64). The
introductory text to paragraph (d)
provides: (1) A listed substance includes
‘‘any of its salts, isomers, and salts of
isomers whenever the existence of such
salts, isomers, and salts of isomers is
possible within the specific chemical

The Drug Enforcement Administration
(DEA)’s Authority To Control Eutylone
This rule is prompted by a letter dated
May 27, 2022, in which the United
States government was informed by the
Secretariat of the United Nations that
eutylone has been added to Schedule II
of the Convention on Psychotropic
Substances of 1971 (1971 Convention).
This letter was prompted by a decision
at the 65th Session of the Commission
on Narcotic Drugs (CND) in March 2022
to schedule eutylone under Schedule II
of the 1971 Convention (CND Dec/65/3).
Preceding this decision, the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA), on behalf of
the Secretary of Health and Human
Services and pursuant to 21 U.S.C.
811(d)(2), published two notices in the
Federal Register with an opportunity to
submit domestic information and
opportunity to comment on this action,
July 23, 2021, 86 FR 39038 and February
15, 2022, 87 FR 8586. In every instance,
FDA noted that eutylone was already
controlled in schedule I of the
Controlled Substances Act (CSA) as a
positional isomer of pentylone, and the
February 2022 notice stated that no
additional permanent controls for
eutylone under the CSA would be
necessary to fulfill United States’
obligations as a party to the 1971
Convention.
As discussed above in this final rule,
eutylone—by virtue of being a
positional isomer of pentylone—has
been controlled in schedule I of the CSA
temporarily since March 7, 2014 (79 FR
12938), and permanently since March 1,
2017 (82 FR 12171). Therefore, all
1 Pentylone (and its isomers) has been subject to
temporary schedule I controls since March 7, 2014,
first pursuant to a final order (March 7, 2014, 79
FR 12938) and the subsequent one-year extension
of that order (March 4, 2016, 81 FR 11429), and
then permanently pursuant to a final rule which
continued the imposition of those controls (March
1, 2017, 82 FR 12171).

regulations and criminal sanctions
applicable to schedule I substances have
been and remain applicable to eutylone.
Drugs controlled in schedule I of the
CSA satisfy and exceed the required
domestic controls of Schedule II under
Article 2 of the 1971 Convention.
Effect of Action
As discussed above, this rule does not
affect the continuing status of eutylone
as a schedule I controlled substance in
any way. This action, as an
administrative matter, merely
establishes a separate, specific listing for
eutylone in schedule I of the CSA and
assigns a DEA controlled substances
code number (drug code) for the
substance. This action will allow DEA
to establish an aggregate production
quota and grant individual
manufacturing and procurement quotas
to DEA-registered manufacturers of
eutylone, who had previously been
granted individual quotas for such
purposes under the drug code for
pentylone.
Regulatory Analyses
Administrative Procedure Act
An agency may find good cause to
exempt a rule from certain provisions of
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA)
(5 U.S.C. 553), including notice of
proposed rulemaking and the
opportunity for public comment, if it is
determined to be unnecessary,
impracticable, or contrary to the public
interest. Eutylone is currently controlled
in schedule I as a positional isomer of
pentylone, and eutylone has no
currently accepted medical use in
treatment to qualify for placement in a
schedule other than schedule I (see 21
U.S.C. 812(b)(2)–(5)).
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), DEA
finds that notice and comment
rulemaking is unnecessary and that
good cause exists to dispense with these
procedures. The addition of a separate
listing for eutylone and its DEA
controlled substances code number in
the list of schedule I substances in 21
CFR 1308.11(d) makes no substantive
difference in the status of this drug as
a schedule I controlled substance, but
instead is ‘‘a minor or merely technical
amendment in which the public is not
particularly interested.’’ National

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 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.
[[Page 21100]]
History
The FAA published a NPRM for Docket No. FAA-2023-0049, in the
Federal Register (88 FR 7901; February 7, 2023), amending RNAV route Q-
101 in the eastern United States.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. One comment was
received. The commenter expressed support for the proposal.
Incorporation by Reference
RNAV routes are published in paragraph 2006 of FAA Order JO
7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. This
document amends the current version of that order, FAA Order JO
7400.11G, 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. These amendments will be published in the
next update to FAA Order JO 7400.11.
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 expanding RNAV route Q-101 in
the eastern United States. This action supports the Northeast Corridor
Atlantic Coast Route Project by linking Q-101 to other east coast Air
Traffic Service routes to enhance air traffic flows.
The route amendment is as follows:
Q-101: Q-101 currently extends between the SKARP, NC, waypoint
(WP), and the TUGGR, VA, WP. The FAA is extending Q-101 approximately
10 nautical miles to the north of the TUGGR WP, to the KALDA, VA, Fix.
This provides additional routing options for northbound and southbound
air traffic.
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 extending RNAV route Q-
101 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. The FAA has determined
that no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of
an environmental assessment or environmental impact study.
