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
authority of the FAA Administrator.
Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the
E:\FR\FM\15AUR1.SGM
15AUR1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 158 / Thursday, August 15, 2024 / Rules and Regulations
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
Air Traffic Service (ATS) route structure
as necessary to preserve the safe and
efficient flow of air traffic within the
National Airspace System (NAS).
History
The FAA published a NPRM for
Docket No. FAA 2023–2502 in the
Federal Register (89 FR 2525; January
16, 2024), proposing to establish United
States RNAV Route Q–108 and revoking
RNAV Route Q–104 in the eastern
United States. Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments
on the proposal to the FAA. No
comments were received.
Incorporation by Reference
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 7400.11H,
dated August 11, 2023, and effective
September 15, 2023. FAA Order JO
7400.11H 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 7400.11H lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic
service routes, and reporting points.
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
The Rule
This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by
establishing RNAV Route Q–108 and
revoking Q–104 in the eastern United
States. This action supports the NEC
ACR Optimization Project to improve
the efficiency of the NAS. The
amendments are described below.
Q–104: Prior to this final rule, Q–104
extended between the ACORI, AL,
waypoint (WP), and the St Petersburg,
FL (PIE), Very High Frequency
Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air
Navigation (VORTAC). Air Traffic
Control (ATC) no longer uses the route.
The FAA removes the route in its
entirety.
Q–108: Q–108 is a new RNAV route
that extends between the Louisville, KY
(IIU), VORTAC and the Sea Isle, NJ
(SIE), VORTAC. The route overlays Jet
Route J–526 between the Louisville
VORTAC and the Beckley, WV (BKW),
VOR/Distance Measuring Equipment
(VOR/DME); RNAV Route Q–34
between the SITTR, WV, WP and the
MAULS, VA, WP; RNAV Route Q–97
between the SAWED, VA, WP and the
BYSEL, MD, Fix; and RNAV Route Q–
439 between the BYSEL Fix and the
HOWYU, DE, WP. The new RNAV route
provides connectivity between the
Louisville, KY area and the Atlantic
City, NJ area.
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 establishing RNAV
Route Q–108 and revoking RNAV Route
Q–104 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–
6.5b, which categorically excludes from
further environmental impact review
‘‘Actions regarding establishment of jet
routes and Federal airways (see 14 CFR
71.15, Designation of jet routes and VOR
Federal airways) . . .’’. 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.

History
The FAA published a NPRM for
Docket No. FAA–2024–0157 in the
Federal Register (89 FR 14602; February
28, 2024), proposing to establish United
States RNAV Routes T–489, T–491, T–

in the eastern United States. Interested
parties were invited to participate in
this rulemaking effort by submitting
written comments on the proposal to the
FAA. No comments were received.
Differences From the NPRM
Subsequent to publication of the
NPRM, the FAA identified that RNAV
Route Q–102 is a non-regulatory air
traffic service route that transits
international airspace, and which are
modified outside of the regulatory
process. The FAA removes the
amendment of RNAV Route Q–102 from
this action.

The FAA inadvertently omitted from
the proposed changes that numerous
route points would be removed from the
route descriptions of RNAV Routes T–
210 and T–336 due to those segments
forming a turn of less than one degree.
The route points remain depicted on
aeronautical charts for reference but are
removed from the description of each
route. The MRUTT, FL, waypoint (WP)
and the GUANO, FL, Fix are removed
from the description of RNAV Route T–
210. The FUTSY, FL, WP; OMMNI, FL,
WP; VIZTA, FL, WP; and YONMA, FL,
Fix are removed from the description of
RNAV Route T–336. This final rule
corrects these omissions.

Q-104: Prior to this final rule, Q-104 extended between the ACORI,
AL, waypoint (WP), and the St Petersburg, FL (PIE), Very High Frequency
Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC). Air Traffic
Control (ATC) no longer uses the route. The FAA removes the route in
its entirety.
Q-108: Q-108 is a new RNAV route that extends between the
Louisville, KY (IIU), VORTAC and the Sea Isle, NJ (SIE), VORTAC. The
route overlays Jet Route J-526 between the Louisville VORTAC and the
Beckley, WV (BKW), VOR/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME); RNAV
Route Q-34 between the SITTR, WV, WP and the MAULS, VA, WP; RNAV Route
Q-97 between the SAWED, VA, WP and the BYSEL, MD, Fix; and RNAV Route
Q-439 between the BYSEL Fix and the HOWYU, DE, WP. The new RNAV route
provides connectivity between the Louisville, KY area and the Atlantic
City, NJ area.
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 establishing
RNAV Route Q-108 and revoking RNAV Route Q-104 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 5-6.5b, which categorically excludes from
further environmental impact review ``Actions regarding establishment
of jet routes and Federal airways (see 14 CFR 71.15, Designation of jet
routes and VOR Federal airways) . . .''. 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.
