Federal Aviation Administration June 7, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This action revises Restricted Area R-2504, Camp Roberts, CA, by subdividing the area of R-2504 to create R-2504A and R-2504B. Together, R-2504A and R-2504B will occupy the same lateral and vertical dimensions of the existing R-2504. The FAA is taking this action in response to a request from the United States (U.S.) Army. This action will fulfill Department of Defense training requirements while freeing unused airspace for use by nonparticipating civil aircraft, and allows the U.S. Army to activate only that portion of the airspace necessary to contain their operations.

This action proposes to establish two and modify four Area Navigation (RNAV) routes in Alaska. T and Q-routes are Air Traffic Service (ATS) routes, based on RNAV, for use by aircraft having instrument flight rules (IFR)-approved Global Positioning System (GPS)/ Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) equipment, or Distance Measuring Equipment (DME)/DME Inertial Reference Unit (IRU) navigation capability. The FAA is proposing this action to enhance safety and improve the efficient use of the navigable airspace in Alaska.

The FAA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) extension of a current information collection. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on March 8, 2010, vol. 75, no. 44, page 10550. A letter of application and related documents which set forth an applicant's ability to conduct operations in compliance with FAR Part 125 provisions are submitted to the appropriate FSDO.

This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements. These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under instrument flight rules at the affected airports.
