14 CFR Part 71 

[Docket No. FAA–2010–1179; Airspace 

Docket No. 10–ANM–9] 

RIN 2120–AA66 

Establishment of Area Navigation 

(RNAV) Routes; Western United States 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action establishes six 

High Altitude Area Navigation (RNAV) 

routes in the Western United States 

(U.S.). These new routes provide pilots 

and air traffic controllers with efficient 

direct routes enhancing safety and 

improving the efficient use of the 

National Airspace System (NAS). 

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.

McElroy, Airspace Regulation and ATC 

Procedures Group, Office of Mission

Administration, 800 Independence 

Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591;

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 76652). 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 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

establishing six RNAV Q-routes 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 arrival flow from 

the Denver, CO, Terminal area to the 

San Francisco/Oakland, CA, Terminal 

area and improve arrival flow from and 

through Salt Lake ARTCC to the San 

Francisco/Oakland, CA, Terminal area. 

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 

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 establishes RNAV routes in the 

Western United States. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, Environmental Impacts: 

Polices and Procedures, paragraph 311a. 

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.
