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 expands the availability of RNAV in Alaska and improves the efficient flow of air traffic within the National Airspace System (NAS) by lessening the dependency on ground-based navigation. History The FAA published an NPRM for Docket No. FAA–2022–0197 in the Federal Register (87 FR 13666; March 10, 2022), amending RNAV route T–226 in the vicinity of Central, AK, in support of a large and comprehensive T-route modernization project for the state of PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Alaska. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting comments on the proposal. One positive comment was received. The commenter supported the FAA’s Next Generation Transportation System (NextGen) NAS transition efforts and the proposal to remove the waypoints (WP) not required for T–226 in the affected areas in the State of Alaska. The commenter offered that the FAA’s actions were beneficial to improving compliance results, creating a better safety culture, and preventing accidents along the air routes. The commentor closed with support for the FAA’s approval of the proposed action. Incorporation by Reference United States Area Navigation Routes are published in 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 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 amending RNAV route T–226 in the vicinity of Central, AK, in support of a large comprehensive T-route modernization project for the state of Alaska. The amendment is described below. T–226: T–226 extends between the Johnstone Point, AK, Very High Frequency (VHF) Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) and the Fort Yukon, AK, VHF Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) navigational aid. This action removes the FIDAL, AK; ROBES, AK; KLUNG, AK; DOZEY, AK; PAXON, AK; and DONEL, AK, Fixes and the HEXAX, AK, WP from the route description since they are not required to retain the route’s structure. The Fixes and WP will remain in the National Airspace System Resource database and continue to be depicted on IFR En Route charts. E:\FR\FM\27JYR1.SGM 27JYR1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 143 / Thursday, July 27, 2023 / Rules and Regulations 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 airspace action of amending RNAV route T–226 in the vicinity of Central, AK, 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 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.

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 expands the availability of RNAV in Alaska and improves 
the efficient flow of air traffic within the National Airspace System 
(NAS) by lessening the dependency on ground-based navigation.

History

    The FAA published an NPRM for Docket No. FAA-2022-0197 in the 
Federal Register (87 FR 13666; March 10, 2022), amending RNAV route T-
226 in the vicinity of Central, AK, in support of a large and 
comprehensive T-route modernization project for the state of Alaska. 
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
effort by submitting comments on the proposal. One positive comment was 
received.
    The commenter supported the FAA's Next Generation Transportation 
System (NextGen) NAS transition efforts and the proposal to remove the 
waypoints (WP) not required for T-226 in the affected areas in the 
State of Alaska. The commenter offered that the FAA's actions were 
beneficial to improving compliance results, creating a better safety 
culture, and preventing accidents along the air routes. The commentor 
closed with support for the FAA's approval of the proposed action.

Incorporation by Reference

    United States Area Navigation Routes are published in 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 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 amending RNAV route T-226 in 
the vicinity of Central, AK, in support of a large comprehensive T-
route modernization project for the state of Alaska. The amendment is 
described below.
    T-226: T-226 extends between the Johnstone Point, AK, Very High 
Frequency (VHF) Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment 
(VOR/DME) and the Fort Yukon, AK, VHF Omnidirectional Range/Tactical 
Air Navigation (VORTAC) navigational aid. This action removes the 
FIDAL, AK; ROBES, AK; KLUNG, AK; DOZEY, AK; PAXON, AK; and DONEL, AK, 
Fixes and the HEXAX, AK, WP from the route description since they are 
not required to retain the route's structure. The Fixes and WP will 
remain in the National Airspace System Resource database and continue 
to be depicted on IFR En Route charts.

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 airspace action of amending RNAV 
route T-226 in the vicinity of Central, AK, 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 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. Accordingly, the FAA has determined that no extraordinary 
circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental 
assessment or environmental impact study.
