Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 to modify Q–20 in 

support of the Houston OAPM project. 

OAPM is intended to improve air traffic 

flows within an entire region resulting 

in increased capacity and fuel efficiency 

and reduced track distances. Q–20 

extends between the Corona, NM, VHF 

Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air 

Navigation (VORTAC) navigation aid 

and the Junction, TX, VORTAC 

navigation aid. This action would 

amend Q–20 by relocating the FUSCO 

WP to match the intersection of Jet 

routes J–15 and J–183, and redesignating FUSCO as a fix. The 

modification would enable aircraft filed 

eastbound via J–15, J–183, or Q–20, to 

file, after FUSCO, direct to a published 

transition to a Houston Standard 

Terminal Arrival Route. This would 

simplify flight plan filing and Flight 

Management Computer entries; thus, 

reducing the potential for routing errors. 

High altitude RNAV routes are 

published in paragraph 2006 of FAA 

Order 7400.9X dated August 7, 2013, 

and effective September 15, 2013, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The RNAV route listed in this 

document would be subsequently 

published in the Order. 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. 

Therefore, this proposed 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 proposed 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 proposed 

regulation is within the scope of that

authority as it would modify the route 

structure as required to enhance the safe 

and efficient flow of air traffic in the 

United States. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.
