Incorporation by Reference United States Area Navigation routes are published in paragraph 2006 and paragraph 6011 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 proposes to amend the current version of that order, FAA Order JO 7400.11G, dated August 19, 2022, and effective September 15, 2022. These updates would be published in the next update to FAA Order JO 7400.11. That order 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 Proposal The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to establish RNAV PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 route Q–476; and amend RNAV route T–393. These actions are in support of the FAA’s VOR MON Program. The proposed changes are described below. Q–476: Q–476 is a proposed new RNAV route that would extend from the Jamestown, NY (JHW), VOR/Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) to the NWTON, NJ, waypoint (WP). This proposed route would overlay portions of jet routes J–106 and J–70 from the Jamestown, NY (JHW), VOR/DME to the Stillwater, NY (STW), VOR/DME. Q– 476 would provide connectivity for RNAV equipped aircraft between the Jamestown, NY area and the Newark, NJ area. T–393: T–393 is a proposed amended route that extends from the GAILS, MA, WP to the Burlington, VT (BTV), VOR/ DME. This proposed amended route would replace the PUTNM, CT, WP with the Putnam, CT (PUT), VOR/DME due to the Putnam, CT (PUT), VOR/ DME planned decommissioning being extended until the year 2028. This RNAV route also proposes to remove Fixes from the route’s legal description for segments that contain turns of less than 1 degree. The following are the Fixes that are proposed to be removed; INNDY, MA, Fix; FOSTY, RI, Fix; GRIPE, MA, Fix; STRUM, NH, Fix; UNKER, NH, Fix; MCADM, NH, Fix; ZIECH, VT, Fix; DAVID, VT, Fix; CEVIB, VT, Fix; and POROE, VT, Fix. Regulatory Notices and Analyses The FAA has determined that this proposed 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 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 will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. Environmental Review This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F: ‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

Incorporation by Reference

    United States Area Navigation routes are published in paragraph 
2006 and paragraph 6011 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 proposes to amend the current version 
of that order, FAA Order JO 7400.11G, dated August 19, 2022, and 
effective September 15, 2022. These updates would be published in the 
next update to FAA Order JO 7400.11. That order 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 Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to establish 
RNAV route Q-476; and amend RNAV route T-393. These actions are in 
support of the FAA's VOR MON Program. The proposed changes are 
described below.
    Q-476: Q-476 is a proposed new RNAV route that would extend from 
the Jamestown, NY (JHW), VOR/Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) to the 
NWTON, NJ, waypoint (WP). This proposed route would overlay portions of 
jet routes J-106 and J-70 from the Jamestown, NY (JHW), VOR/DME to the 
Stillwater, NY (STW), VOR/DME. Q-476 would provide connectivity for 
RNAV equipped aircraft between the Jamestown, NY area and the Newark, 
NJ area.
    T-393: T-393 is a proposed amended route that extends from the 
GAILS, MA, WP to the Burlington, VT (BTV), VOR/DME. This proposed 
amended route would replace the PUTNM, CT, WP with the Putnam, CT 
(PUT), VOR/DME due to the Putnam, CT (PUT), VOR/DME planned 
decommissioning being extended until the year 2028. This RNAV route 
also proposes to remove Fixes from the route's legal description for 
segments that contain turns of less than 1 degree. The following are 
the Fixes that are proposed to be removed; INNDY, MA, Fix; FOSTY, RI, 
Fix; GRIPE, MA, Fix; STRUM, NH, Fix; UNKER, NH, Fix; MCADM, NH, Fix; 
ZIECH, VT, Fix; DAVID, VT, Fix; CEVIB, VT, Fix; and POROE, VT, Fix.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed 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 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 
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is 
certified that this proposed rule, when promulgated, will not have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities 
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in 
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F: ``Environmental Impacts: Policies 
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
