Download as PDF 45058 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 134 / Friday, July 14, 2023 / Rules and Regulations heading currently reads ‘‘§ 204.125 Foreign, international, and supranational entities referred to in §§ 204.2(c)(1)(iv)(E) and 204.8(a)(2)(i)(B)(5)’’ and the introductory text reads ‘‘The entities referred to in §§ 204.2(c)(1)(iv)(E) and 204.8(a)(2)(i)(B)(5) are:’’. First, the references to § 204.2(c)(1)(iv)(E) in the heading and the introductory text are amended to refer to § 204.2(c)(1)(iii)(E) in order to conform the heading and the introductory text to Regulation D amendments finalized in 2020.8 Second, the heading and the introductory text are amended to add a reference to the definition of ‘‘nonpersonal time deposit,’’ 12 CFR 204.2(f)(1)(iv)(E), to conform the heading and the introductory text to Regulation D amendments finalized in 1991.9 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1 III. Administrative Procedure Act In general, the Administrative Procedure Act (‘‘APA’’) 10 imposes three principal requirements when an agency promulgates legislative rules (rules made pursuant to congressionallydelegated authority): (1) publication with adequate notice of a proposed rule; (2) followed by a meaningful opportunity for the public to comment on the rule’s content; and (3) publication of the final rule not less than 30 days before its effective date. The APA provides that notice and comment procedures do not apply if the agency for good cause finds them to be ‘‘unnecessary, impracticable, or contrary to the public interest.’’ 11 Section 553(d) of the APA also provides that publication at least 30 days prior to a rule’s effective date is not required for (1) a substantive rule which grants or recognizes an exemption or relieves a restriction; (2) interpretive rules and statements of policy; or (3) a rule for which the agency finds good cause for shortened notice and publishes its reasoning with the rule.12 The Board has determined that good cause exists for finding that the notice, public comment, and delayed effective date provisions of the APA are unnecessary, impracticable, or contrary to the public interest with respect to these final amendments to Regulation D. The amendments are technical in nature 8 Interim final rule (Regulation D), 85 FR 23445, 23447 (Apr. 28, 2020) (deleting § 204.2(c)(1)(ii) and redesignating § 204.2(c)(1)(iv) as § 204.2(c)(1)(iii)). 9 Final rule (Regulation D), 56 FR 15493, 15495 (Apr. 17, 1991) (amending heading and introductory text of § 204.125 to refer to §§ 204.2(c)(1)(iv)(E) and 204.8(a)(2)(i)(B)(5)). 10 5 U.S.C. 551 et seq. 11 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B). 12 5 U.S.C. 553(d).

Notice, public comment, and a delayed effective date under these circumstances would not serve any useful purpose. Accordingly, the Board has determined that good cause exists to dispense with the notice, public comment, and delayed effective date procedures of the APA with respect to these final amendments to Regulation D. IV. Regulatory Flexibility Analysis The Regulatory Flexibility Act (‘‘RFA’’) does not apply to a rulemaking where a general notice of proposed rulemaking is not required.13 As noted previously, the Board has determined that it is unnecessary and contrary to the public interest to publish a general notice of proposed rulemaking for this final rule. Accordingly, the RFA’s requirements relating to an initial and final regulatory flexibility analysis do not apply. 6 The designated entities are specified in 12 CFR 204.125. * * * * * 3. Section 204.125 is amended by revising the section heading and introductory text to read as follows: ■ § 204.125 Foreign, international, and supranational entities referred to in §§ 204.2(c)(1)(iii)(E) and (f)(1)(iv)(E) and 204.8(a)(2)(i)(B)(5).

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 ATS route structure as necessary to preserve the safe and efficient flow of air traffic within the NAS. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1 History The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No. FAA–2023–0721 in the Federal Register (88 FR 17437; March 23, 2023), proposing to revoke Jet Route J–184 and establish RNAV route Q–180 due to service limitations associated with signal coverage issues of the Deming, NM, Very High Frequency (VHF) OmniDirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) navigational aid (NAVAID). Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments were received. Incorporation by Reference Jet Routes are published in paragraph 2004 and United States Area Navigation Routes (Q-routes) are published in paragraph 2006 of FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, which is incorporated VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:54 Jul 13, 2023 Jkt 259001 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 revoking Jet Route J–184 and establishing RNAV route Q–180 due to service limitations associated with signal coverage issues on J–184. The Air Traffic Service (ATS) route actions are described below. J–184: J–184 is removed in its entirety. Q–180: Q–180 is established and extends between the Buckeye, AZ, VORTAC and the Newman, TX, VORTAC NAVAIDs. This new Q-route provides RNAV routing along the same route of flight J–184 provided prior to its removal and retains flight safety and NAS efficiency for aircraft transiting between the Phoenix, AZ, and El Paso, TX, areas. 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 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 revoking Jet Route J–184 and establishing RNAV route Q–180, due to service limitations associated with signal coverage issues of the Deming, NM, VORTAC NAVAID, 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, PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 45059 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 5–6.5i, which categorically excludes from further environmental impact review the establishment of new or revised air traffic control procedures conducted at 3,000 feet or more above ground level (AGL); procedures conducted below 3,000 feet AGL that do not cause traffic to be routinely routed over noise sensitive areas; modifications to currently approved procedures conducted below 3,000 feet AGL that do not significantly increase noise over noise sensitive areas; and increases in minimum altitudes and landing minima. 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.

The complete regulatory description of each SIAP is listed on the appropriate FAA Form 8260, as modified by the National Flight Data Center (NFDC)/Permanent Notice to Airmen (P–NOTAM), and is incorporated by reference under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 CFR 97.20. The large number of SIAPs, their complex nature, and the need for a special format make their verbatim publication in the Federal Register expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use the regulatory text of the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic depiction on charts printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages of incorporation by reference are realized and publication of the complete description of each SIAP contained on FAA form documents is unnecessary.

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 ATS 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-2023-0721 in the Federal Register (88 FR 17437; March 23, 2023), 
proposing to revoke Jet Route J-184 and establish RNAV route Q-180 due 
to service limitations associated with signal coverage issues of the 
Deming, NM, Very High Frequency (VHF) Omni-Directional Range/Tactical 
Air Navigation (VORTAC) navigational aid (NAVAID). Interested parties 
were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting 
written comments on the proposal. No comments were received.

Incorporation by Reference

    Jet Routes are published in paragraph 2004 and United States Area 
Navigation Routes (Q-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 revoking Jet Route J-184 and 
establishing RNAV route Q-180 due to service limitations associated 
with signal coverage issues on J-184. The Air Traffic Service (ATS) 
route actions are described below.
    J-184: J-184 is removed in its entirety.
    Q-180: Q-180 is established and extends between the Buckeye, AZ, 
VORTAC and the Newman, TX, VORTAC NAVAIDs. This new Q-route provides 
RNAV routing along the same route of flight J-184 provided prior to its 
removal and retains flight safety and NAS efficiency for aircraft 
transiting between the Phoenix, AZ, and El Paso, TX, areas.

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 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 revoking Jet Route J-184 
and establishing RNAV route Q-180, due to service limitations 
associated with signal coverage issues of the Deming, NM, VORTAC 
NAVAID, 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 5-6.5i, which 
categorically excludes from further environmental impact review the 
establishment of new or revised air traffic control procedures 
conducted at 3,000 feet or more above ground level (AGL); procedures 
conducted below 3,000 feet AGL that do not cause traffic to be 
routinely routed over noise sensitive areas; modifications to currently 
approved procedures conducted below 3,000 feet AGL that do not 
significantly increase noise over noise sensitive areas; and increases 
in minimum altitudes and landing minima. 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.
