Establishment of Area Navigation 

Route Q–37; Texas 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action establishes a high 

altitude area navigation (RNAV) route, 

designated Q–37, extending between the 

Pueblo, Colorado, VHF omnidirectional 

range/tactical air navigation (VORTAC) 

navigation aid and the Fort Stockton, 

Texas, VORTAC. The new route 

provides pilots and air traffic controllers 

with an efficient alternate route around 

potentially constrained airspace during 

convective weather events in west 

Texas. 

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, October 

20, 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: 

History 

On Monday, October 26, 2009, the 

FAA published in the Federal Register 

a notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM) to establish area navigation 

route Q–37 (74 FR 54943). Interested 

parties were invited to participate in 

this rulemaking effort by submitting 

written comments on the proposal. No 

comments were received. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

establishing high altitude area 

navigation route Q–37 between the 

Pueblo, CO, VORTAC, and the Fort 

Stockton, TX, VORTAC. The new route 

provides pilots and air traffic controllers 

with an efficient alternate route around 

potentially constrained airspace during 

convective weather events in west 

Texas. Additionally, the new route is 

being integrated into the existing severe 

weather national playbook routes to 

Houston, TX, terminal airports through 

Albuquerque Air Route Traffic Control 

Center’s airspace, in lieu of the current 

process of coordinating tactical 

modifications to routings with the FAA 

Air Traffic Control Services Command 

Center. 

In the NPRM, the points CAVRN and 

IMMAS were erroneously identified as 

a ‘‘WP’’ (waypoint). These points are 

being established and charted as 

navigation fixes; therefore, an editorial 

change is being made in this rule to 

replace ‘‘WP’’ with ‘‘Fix’’ in the 

description for CAVRN and IMMAS. 

With the exception of these changes, 

this amendment is the same as that 

proposed in the NPRM. 

High altitude RNAV routes are 

published in paragraph 2006 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 RNAV route 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 establishes an RNAV route to enhance 

the safe and efficient flow of traffic in 

the central 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: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraphs 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On June 13, 2011, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking to establish Class 

E airspace at Forest, VA (76 FR 34196) 

Docket No. FAA–2011–0378. Interested 

parties were invited to participate in 

this rulemaking effort by submitting 

written comments on the proposal to the 

FAA. No comments were received. Class 

E airspace designations are published in 

paragraph 6005 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 Class E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

establishes the Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface at Forest, VA, to provide the 

controlled airspace required to support 

the new RNAV GPS standard 

instrument approach procedures 

developed for New London Airport. 

This action is necessary for the safety 

and management of IFR operations at 

the airport. 

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, is non-controversial and 

unlikely to result in adverse or negative 

comments. 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 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.

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 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 controlled airspace at New 

London Airport, Forest, VA.
