Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 47 / Thursday, March 10, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 13083 

Hawaiian VOR airways are published 

in paragraph 6010(c) of FAA Order 

7400.9U, dated August 18, 2010, and 

effective September 15, 2010, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The VOR airways listed in this 

document will be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

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. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not 

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of 

Transportation (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 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. 

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 revises multiple Federal airways in 

Hawaii. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with 311a, 

FAA Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures.’’ This 

airspace action is not expected to cause 

any potentially significant 

environmental impacts, and no 

extraordinary circumstances exist that 

warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.

Amendment to VOR Federal Airway 

V–358; TX 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This action amends a final 

rule published by the FAA in the 

Federal Register, that inadvertently 

extended VOR Federal airway V–358 to 

the wrong end point. This action reflects 

the correct end point and coincides with 

the FAA’s aeronautical database. 

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, May 5, 

2011. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under 1 CFR part 51, 

subject to the annual revision of FAA 

Order 7400.9 and publication of 

conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 16, 2000, the FAA 

published a final rule in the Federal 

Register amending thirteen Federal 

airways in the vicinity of Dallas/Fort 

Worth, TX (65 FR 61087). That action 

simplified the airway structure and 

enhanced the management of aircraft 

operations in the area. VOR Federal 

airway V–358 was one of the thirteen 

airways included in the rule, changing 

its end point from Will Rogers, OK to 

Waco, TX. 

On October 2, 2001, the FAA 

published a final rule in the Federal 

Register realigning a portion of V–358 to 

prevent instrument flight rules (IFR) 

aircraft navigating on the airway from 

encroaching on the newly established 

Prohibited Area 49 (P–49), Crawford, TX 

(66 FR 50101). The realignment around 

P–49 was necessary to assist the United 

States Secret Service in providing 

security for the President of the United 

States and preventing IFR aircraft from 

flying through P–49. However, the 

airway description contained in the rule 

inadvertently extended the V–358 end 


jdjones on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with RULES
13084 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 47 / Thursday, March 10, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 

point from Waco, TX, back to Will 

Rogers, OK. 

On October 26, 2009, the FAA 

published a third final rule in the 

Federal Register amending the V–358 

airway description (74 FR 54896). That 

rule renamed the Lampasas, TX, VHF 

omnidirectional range/tactical air 

navigation (VORTAC) to Gooch Springs, 

TX, VORTAC. This was done to avoid 

confusion since the Lampasas VORTAC 

and Lampasas Airport both shared the 

same name and location identifier, but 

were not co-located. Again, the airway 

end point error was over looked and V– 

358 was published with an end point as 

Will Rogers, OK, instead of Waco, TX. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

correcting the end point in the legal 

description of V–358 from Will Rogers, 

OK, to Waco, TX. The rule reflects the 

end point coinciding with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database. 

Since this is an administrative 

change, and does not affect the 

dimensions, altitude, or operating 

requirements of that airspace, notice 

and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b) are unnecessary. 

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. Therefore, this regulation: (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 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. 

Domestic VOR Federal airways are 

published in paragraph 6010(a) of FAA 

Order 7400.9U, dated August 18, 2010, 

and effective September 15, 2010, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The domestic Federal VOR airway 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

Environmental Review 

There are no changes to the lateral 

limits. Therefore, the FAA has 

determined that this action is not 

subject to environmental assessments 

and procedures in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, Policies and Procedures 

for Considering Environmental Impacts, 

and the National Environmental Policy 

Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On December 9, 2010, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to establish RNAV routes in the Western 

U.S. (75 FR 76648). Interested parties 

were invited to participate in this 

rulemaking effort by submitting written 

comments on the proposal. No 

comments were received in response to 

the NPRM. 

The Rule 

The FAA is amending to Title 14 

Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 

part 71 to establish seven RNAV Qroutes in the Western United States. The 

RNAV routes described in this action 

will enhance safety, and facilitate more 

flexible and efficient use of the 

navigable airspace for en route 

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations 

within the NAS. Specifically, these 

routes will improve departure flow from 

the San Francisco/Oakland, CA, 

Terminal area by providing additional 

parallel departure routings and improve 

arrival flow from Salt Lake ARTCC to 

Reno, NV, and Sacramento, CA. 

The High Altitude RNAV Routes are 

published in paragraph 2006 in FAA 

Order 7400.9U, Airspace Designations 

and Reporting Points, dated August 18, 

2010, and effective September 15, 2010, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The airspace designations 

listed in this document would be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

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. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not 

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of 

Transportation (DOT) Regulatory
