FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: [Amended] BILLING CODE 4910–13–P § 71.5 68339 The FAA published a NPRM for Docket No. FAA 2024–0144 in the Federal Register (89 FR 14786; February 29, 2024), proposing to establish United States RNAV Routes Q–147, Q–149, and T–484 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 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 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. E:\FR\FM\26AUR1.SGM 26AUR1 68340 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 165 / Monday, August 26, 2024 / Rules and Regulations FAA Order JO 7400.11H 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 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 amendments are described below. Q–147: Q–147 is a new RNAV route that extends between the BURGG, SC, waypoint (WP), and the Dryer, OH (DJB), Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME). The route overlays Jet Route J–85 between the BURGG WP and the Dryer VOR/ DME. The new route provides RNAV routing between the Spartanburg, SC, area, and the Cleveland, OH, area. Q–149: Q–149 is a new RNAV route that extends between the BURGG, SC, WP and the Dryer, OH (DJB), VOR/DME. The route overlays Jet Route J–83 between the BURGG WP and the Dryer VOR/DME. The new route provides alternate RNAV connectivity between the Spartanburg, SC, area, and the Cleveland, OH, area. T–484: T–484 is a new RNAV route that extends between the NELLO, GA, Fix, and the BURGG, SC, WP. The route overlays VOR Federal Airway V–415 between the NELLO Fix and the BURGG WP. The new route provides RNAV connectivity between the Atlanta, GA, area and the Spartanburg, SC, 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 United States RNAV Routes Q–147, Q–149, and T–484 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); 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) . . .’’; 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 Q–147 BURGG, SC to Dryer, OH (DJB) [New] BURGG, SC WP Charleston, WV (HVQ) VOR/DME JAMOX, OH FIX Dryer, OH (DJB) VOR/DME lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1 * * * * * * VerDate Sep<11>2014 * 35°02′00.55″ 38°20′58.83″ 39°42′38.70″ 41°21′29.03″ N, N, N, N, long. long. long. long.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 19, 2023, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), Setting the Manner of Appearance of Parties and Witnesses at Hearings,1 which proposed to update our hearing regulations by changing the term ‘‘video teleconference’’ to ‘‘video’’; changing ‘‘telephone’’ to ‘‘audio’’; and permitting ‘‘video’’ and ‘‘audio’’ to be used as standard manners of appearance. We proposed these changes to clarify that claimants may appear for hearings remotely using private electronic devices that we do not own, operate, or approve, and to make clear that a claimant may appear for a hearing using approved online video conferencing applications, rather than only conferencing options using equipment that we own or approve. We are making final the changes that we proposed in the NPRM, with certain modifications. The preamble to the NPRM provides the background for these changes, and we explain our reasons for modifications to the original proposal below.2 Background When we determine your rights under title II or title XVI of the Social Security Act, we generally follow an administrative review process that consists of the following steps: an initial determination, and, as necessary, a reconsideration, a hearing with an administrative law judge (ALJ), and review by the Appeals Council.3 After completing these steps, a claimant may request judicial review of our final decision by filing a civil action in Federal district court. As noted above, the third step in the administrative review process is a hearing held by an ALJ.4 Before the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID–19) 1 88 FR 32145. preamble to the NPRM is available for public viewing at https://www.regulations.gov and searching for document ‘‘SSA–2022–0013’’ or https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/ 05/19/2023-10564/setting-the-manner-ofappearance-of-parties-and-witnesses-at-hearings. 3 20 CFR 404.900(a) and 416.1400(a). 4 Under 20 CFR 404.956(a) and 416.1456(a), the Appeals Council may assume responsibility for a hearing request(s) pending at the hearing level of our administrative review process. 2 The FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: VerDate Sep<11>2014 68341 PO 00000 Frm 00021 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 W) W) W) W) national public health emergency, we generally scheduled a claimant to appear at a hearing in one of three ways: by video teleconferencing (VTC),5 in person, or by telephone. Further, we scheduled claimants to appear by telephone in certain limited circumstances only, such as when we found an appearance by VTC or in person was not possible, or if other extraordinary circumstances prevented the claimant from appearing by VTC or in person.6 As explained in the NPRM in more detail, in March 2020, we began offering claimants the option to appear at hearings by telephone and later offered claimants the additional option to appear by online video in response to the COVID–19 national public health emergency.7 Based on our positive experience with these manners of appearance during the COVID–19 national health emergency and beyond,8 and in an effort to incorporate greater flexibility into our rules for claimants, we are adopting audio and online video as standard manners of appearance in our hearing process.9 Under this final rule, there will be four standard manners of appearance: agency video (i.e., what we previously had defined as VTC), online video, audio, and in person. In the NPRM, we proposed to use the broader term ‘‘video’’ to capture appearances by agency video (where a person attends a hearing at one of our offices using our video equipment) as well as by online video (where a person attends a hearing from a private location using private equipment). As we explain in greater 5 We have traditionally used the term VTC to refer to an appearance by video using our equipment or equipment that we approve in a Field Office or other pre-approved site. 6 20 CFR 404.936(c)(2)–(3); 404.937(b)(2), (c); 416.1436(c)(2)–(3); and 416.1437(b)(2), (c). 7 We began offering appearances at hearings by telephone in March 2020 and by online video in December 2020. Currently, we conduct online video appearances using a software application called ‘‘Microsoft Teams.’’ For more information, see https://www.ssa.gov/appeals/hearing_video.html. 8 88 FR at 32146. 9 We will generally direct anyone we call as a witness to appear by audio, agency video, or online video. A witness called by the claimant, like our previous policy, will generally appear in the same manner as the claimant, unless the witness is unable to do so. If the witness is unable to appear in the same manner as the claimant, we will generally direct the witness to appear by audio or agency video. E:\FR\FM\26AUR1.SGM 26AUR1

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 modifies the Air Traffic Service (ATS) route structure 
as necessary to preserve the safe and efficient flow of air traffic 
within the NAS.

History

    The FAA published a NPRM for Docket No. FAA 2024-0144 in the 
Federal Register (89 FR 14786; February 29, 2024), proposing to 
establish United States RNAV Routes Q-147, Q-149, and T-484 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 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 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.

[[Page 68340]]

    FAA Order JO 7400.11H 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 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 
amendments are described below.
    Q-147: Q-147 is a new RNAV route that extends between the BURGG, 
SC, waypoint (WP), and the Dryer, OH (DJB), Very High Frequency 
Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME). The route 
overlays Jet Route J-85 between the BURGG WP and the Dryer VOR/DME. The 
new route provides RNAV routing between the Spartanburg, SC, area, and 
the Cleveland, OH, area.
    Q-149: Q-149 is a new RNAV route that extends between the BURGG, 
SC, WP and the Dryer, OH (DJB), VOR/DME. The route overlays Jet Route 
J-83 between the BURGG WP and the Dryer VOR/DME. The new route provides 
alternate RNAV connectivity between the Spartanburg, SC, area, and the 
Cleveland, OH, area.
    T-484: T-484 is a new RNAV route that extends between the NELLO, 
GA, Fix, and the BURGG, SC, WP. The route overlays VOR Federal Airway 
V-415 between the NELLO Fix and the BURGG WP. The new route provides 
RNAV connectivity between the Atlanta, GA, area and the Spartanburg, 
SC, 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 
United States RNAV Routes Q-147, Q-149, and T-484 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); 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) . . .''; 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 statement.
