An informal docket may also be examined during normal business hours at the office of the Western Service Center, Federal Aviation Administration, 2200 South 216th St., Des Moines, WA 98198. 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 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. Background On December 29, 2022, the FAA expanded Restricted Area R–2206 in the vicinity of Clear, AK. The expansion of this restricted area impeded the airway structure in the area at the time. Due to these impediments, the FAA amended several airways and established others to provide routing around the expanded restricted area. RNAV route T–399 was one of these routes and was established on December 29, 2022. Although the current design of T–399 does provide the appropriate separation between the route and R–2206, air traffic controllers at the Anchorage Air Route Traffic Control Center (ZAN ARTCC) have identified that additional lateral separation is needed, especially during PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 26797 periods when the ARTCC surveillance radar is limited. The SEAHK, AK, waypoint (WP) on T–399 is a turn point where northbound aircraft change from a northern flight path to a northeastern flight path and where southbound aircraft change from a southwest path to south. At times, aircraft initiate this turn prior to the SEAHK WP, causing air traffic controllers to intervene to ensure proper separation is maintained. This proposed amendment would relocate the SEAHK waypoint approximately 2.3 nautical miles (NM) to the west. Doing so would increase this segment of T– 399s lateral spacing from R–2206, providing a 5 NM buffer from all areas of R–2206. This proposed route amendment would also require the inclusion of the EVIEE, AK, WP in the route description. The waypoint EVIEE is currently on T–399 but due to it not being a turning point, it is not included in the route description. This proposed amendment would make the EVIEE WP a turning point, thus requiring its inclusion in the route description. The EVIEE WP would be added to the route description between the PAWWW, AK, WP and the SEAHK, AK, WP. The Proposal The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to amend RNAV Route T–399 in the vicinity of Clear, AK. This proposed amendment would increase the lateral separation between the RNAV route and Restricted Area R– 2206. Specifically, the SEAHK, AK, WP would be relocated approximately 2.3 NM west from its current location. The SEAHK WP would be renamed to the WHYTT, AK, WP. T–399: T–399 currently extends between the Talkeetna, AK (TKA), Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/ Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/ DME) and the Nenana, AK (ENN), VOR/ Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC). The FAA proposes to move the SEAHK, AK, WP approximately 2.3 NM to the west and rename the route point to the WHYTT, AK, WP. Additionally, the FAA proposes to include the EVIEE, AK, WP in the route description. The EVIEE WP would be added between the PAWWW, AK, WP and the SEAHK, AK, WP. 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 E:\FR\FM\16APP1.SGM 16APP1 26798 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 74 / Tuesday, April 16, 2024 / Proposed Rules 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 List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71 Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air). * * [FR Doc. 2024–07835 Filed 4–15–24; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910–13–P FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION 16 CFR Part 310 RIN 3084–AB19 Telemarketing Sales Rule Federal Trade Commission.

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 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.

Background

    On December 29, 2022, the FAA expanded Restricted Area R-2206 in 
the vicinity of Clear, AK. The expansion of this restricted area 
impeded the airway structure in the area at the time. Due to these 
impediments, the FAA amended several airways and established others to 
provide routing around the expanded restricted area. RNAV route T-399 
was one of these routes and was established on December 29, 2022. 
Although the current design of T-399 does provide the appropriate 
separation between the route and R-2206, air traffic controllers at the 
Anchorage Air Route Traffic Control Center (ZAN ARTCC) have identified 
that additional lateral separation is needed, especially during periods 
when the ARTCC surveillance radar is limited. The SEAHK, AK, waypoint 
(WP) on T-399 is a turn point where northbound aircraft change from a 
northern flight path to a northeastern flight path and where southbound 
aircraft change from a southwest path to south. At times, aircraft 
initiate this turn prior to the SEAHK WP, causing air traffic 
controllers to intervene to ensure proper separation is maintained. 
This proposed amendment would relocate the SEAHK waypoint approximately 
2.3 nautical miles (NM) to the west. Doing so would increase this 
segment of T-399s lateral spacing from R-2206, providing a 5 NM buffer 
from all areas of R-2206. This proposed route amendment would also 
require the inclusion of the EVIEE, AK, WP in the route description. 
The waypoint EVIEE is currently on T-399 but due to it not being a 
turning point, it is not included in the route description. This 
proposed amendment would make the EVIEE WP a turning point, thus 
requiring its inclusion in the route description. The EVIEE WP would be 
added to the route description between the PAWWW, AK, WP and the SEAHK, 
AK, WP.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to amend RNAV 
Route T-399 in the vicinity of Clear, AK. This proposed amendment would 
increase the lateral separation between the RNAV route and Restricted 
Area R-2206. Specifically, the SEAHK, AK, WP would be relocated 
approximately 2.3 NM west from its current location. The SEAHK WP would 
be renamed to the WHYTT, AK, WP.
    T-399: T-399 currently extends between the Talkeetna, AK (TKA), 
Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment 
(VOR/DME) and the Nenana, AK (ENN), VOR/Tactical Air Navigation 
(VORTAC). The FAA proposes to move the SEAHK, AK, WP approximately 2.3 
NM to the west and rename the route point to the WHYTT, AK, WP. 
Additionally, the FAA proposes to include the EVIEE, AK, WP in the 
route description. The EVIEE WP would be added between the PAWWW, AK, 
WP and the SEAHK, AK, WP.

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

[[Page 26798]]

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.
