An informal docket may also be examined during normal business hours at the office of the Eastern Service Center, Federal Aviation Administration, Room 210, 1701 Columbia Avenue, College Park, GA 30337. Incorporation by Reference United States Area Navigation routes are published in paragraph 2006 and 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 7400.11H, dated August 11, 2023, and effective September 15, 2023. 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 7400.11H lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting points. The Proposal The FAA is proposing to amend 14 CFR part 71 by establishing RNAV routes Q–147, Q–149, and T–484 in the eastern United States. This action supports the FAA’s NextGen efforts to provide a modern RNAV route structure to improve the safety and efficiency of the NAS. The proposed RNAV route actions are described below. Q–147: Q–147 is a new RNAV route proposed to extend between the BURGG, SC, waypoint (WP), and the Dryer, OH (DJB), Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME). The proposed route would overlay Jet Route J–85 between the BURGG WP and the Dryer VOR/DME. The new proposed RNAV route would provide RNAV routing between the Spartanburg, SC, area, and the Cleveland, OH, area. Q–149: Q–149 is a new RNAV route proposed to extend between the BURGG, SC, WP and the Dryer, OH (DJB), VOR/DME. The proposed route would overlay Jet Route J–83 between the BURGG WP and the Dryer VOR/ DME. The new proposed RNAV route would provide alternate connectivity between the Spartanburg, SC, area, and the Cleveland, OH, area. T–484: T–484 is a new RNAV route proposed to extend between the NELLO, PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 14787 GA, Fix, and the BURGG, SC, WP. The proposed route would overlay VOR Federal Airway V–415 between the NELLO Fix and the BURGG WP. The new proposed RNAV route would provide RNAV connectivity between the Atlanta, GA, area and the Spartanburg, SC, area. 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. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71 Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing to amend 14 CFR part 71 by establishing RNAV 
routes Q-147, Q-149, and T-484 in the eastern United States. This 
action supports the FAA's NextGen efforts to provide a modern RNAV 
route structure to improve the safety and efficiency of the NAS. The 
proposed RNAV route actions are described below.
    Q-147: Q-147 is a new RNAV route proposed to extend between the 
BURGG, SC, waypoint (WP), and the Dryer, OH (DJB), Very High Frequency 
Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME). The 
proposed route would overlay Jet Route J-85 between the BURGG WP and 
the Dryer VOR/DME. The new proposed RNAV route would provide RNAV 
routing between the Spartanburg, SC, area, and the Cleveland, OH, area.
    Q-149: Q-149 is a new RNAV route proposed to extend between the 
BURGG, SC, WP and the Dryer, OH (DJB), VOR/DME. The proposed route 
would overlay Jet Route J-83 between the BURGG WP and the Dryer VOR/
DME. The new proposed RNAV route would provide alternate connectivity 
between the Spartanburg, SC, area, and the Cleveland, OH, area.
    T-484: T-484 is a new RNAV route proposed to extend between the 
NELLO, GA, Fix, and the BURGG, SC, WP. The proposed route would overlay 
VOR Federal Airway V-415 between the NELLO Fix and the BURGG WP. The 
new proposed RNAV route would provide RNAV connectivity between the 
Atlanta, GA, area and the Spartanburg, SC, area.

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.
