SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
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
E:\FR\FM\29FEP1.SGM
29FEP1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 41 / Thursday, February 29, 2024 / Proposed Rules
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
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 would
modify the NAS as necessary to
preserve the safe and efficient flow of
air traffic.
Comments Invited
The FAA invites interested persons to
participate in this rulemaking by
submitting written comments, data, or
views. Comments are specifically
invited on the overall regulatory,
aeronautical, economic, environmental,
and energy-related aspects of the
proposal. The most helpful comments
reference a specific portion of the
proposal, explain the reason for any
recommended change, and include
supporting data. To ensure the docket
does not contain duplicate comments,
commenters should submit only one
time if comments are filed
electronically, or commenters should
send only one copy of written
comments if comments are filed in
writing.
The FAA will file in the docket all
comments it receives, as well as a report
summarizing each substantive public
contact with FAA personnel concerning
this proposed rulemaking. Before acting
on this proposal, the FAA will consider
all comments it receives on or before the
closing date for comments. The FAA
will consider comments filed after the
comment period has closed if it is
possible to do so without incurring
expense or delay. The FAA may change
this proposal in light of the comments
it receives.
Privacy: In accordance with 5 U.S.C.
553(c), DOT solicits comments from the
public to better inform its rulemaking
process. DOT posts these comments,
without edit, including any personal
information the commenter provides, to
www.regulations.gov, as described in
the system of records notice (DOT/ALL–
14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at
www.dot.gov/privacy.

You may review the public docket
containing the proposal, any comments
received and any final disposition in
person in the Dockets Operations office
(see ADDRESSES section for address,
phone number, and hours of
operations). 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

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.

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, 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.
