14 CFR Part 71 

[Docket No. FAA–2013–0952; Airspace 

Docket No. 13–AGL–18] 

RIN 2120–AA66 

Modification of Area Navigation 

(RNAV) Route T–265, IL 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies RNAV 

route T–265 in support of the O’Hare 

Modernization Project (OMP)/Chicago 

Airspace Project (CAP). This action realigns T–265 slightly to the west 

providing appropriate lateral spacing 

from a new Rockford Airport Traffic 

Control Tower (RFD) and Chicago 

Terminal Radar Approach Control (C90) 

airspace boundary and to maintain the 

efficiency and safety of aircraft 

transitioning around the Chicago Class 

B airspace area. 

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, July 24, 

2014. 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 

The FAA published in the Federal 

Register a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend T–265 (78 

FR 78303, December 26, 2013). 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal. One comment was received. 

The Aircraft Owners and Pilots 

Association supported the modification, 

but encouraged the FAA to utilize 

stakeholders in developing a national 

air traffic service route modernization 

plan. 

The Rule 

The FAA is amending Title 14, Code 

of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

to modify T–265 in support of the OMP/ 

CAP. As part of the OMP/CAP, the RFD/ 

C90 airspace boundary is being moved 

to the west. This action re-aligns T–265 

slightly to the west by replacing the first 

two waypoints in the route with two 

airway intersection fixes, AHMED and 

START, respectively, and re-designating 

the BULLZ and VEENA waypoints as 

airway intersection fixes. The route 

modification ensures appropriate lateral 

spacing from the new RFD/C90 airspace 

boundary and eliminates the need for 

manual air traffic control coordination 

or aircraft to accomplish frequency 

changes between the two facilities. This 

modification also shortens T–265 by 

almost 2 nautical miles while providing 

the same level of convenience to the 

flying public with an easy way to file 

and fly around the Chicago Class B 

airspace area between Chicago/Rockford 

International Airport, IL, and Chicago 

O’Hare International Airport, IL. 

Low altitude RNAV routes are 

published in paragraph 6011 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 will be subsequently 

published 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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does 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 modifies the route structure as 

required to preserve the safe and 

efficient flow of air traffic within the 

National Airspace System. 

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,’’ 

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.

RIN 2120–AK42 

Prohibition Against Certain Flights 

Within the Tripoli Flight Information 

Region (FIR); Extension of Expiration 

Date; Correction 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; Extension of 

expiration date; Correction. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting a final 

rule published on March 21, 2014. In 

that final rule, the FAA amended its 

regulations to extend the prohibition 

against certain flights within the Tripoli 

Flight Information Region from March 

21, 2014 to March 21, 2015. The FAA 

inadvertently cited an incorrect RIN 

number. This document corrects that 

error and also corrects an inadvertent 

amendment. 

DATES: This correction is effective April 

8, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 21, 2014 (79 FR 15679), the 

FAA issued ‘‘Prohibition Against 

Certain Flights Within the Tripoli Flight 

Information Region (FIR); Extension of 

Expiration Date’’ (79 FR 15679). In that 

final rule, which became effective 

March 21, 2014, the FAA extended the 

expiration date from March 21, 2014 to 

March 21, 2015. 

The FAA inadvertently listed the 

incorrect RIN number (2120–AJ93). The 

correct RIN number is 2120–AK42. In 

addition, the Office of the Federal 

Register inadvertently amended 

§ 91.1603 by removing paragraph (e) 

effective March 20, 2015. Unless the 

FAA takes further action, § 91.1603 will 

expire effective March 20, 2015. 

Corrections 

In the final rule, FR Doc. 2014–06199, 

published on March 21, 2014, at 79 FR 

15679, make the following corrections: 

1. On page 15679, in the first column 

heading, revise ‘‘RIN 2120–AJ93’’ to 

read ‘‘RIN 2120–AK42’’. 

2. On page 15679, in the third column 

under the DATES heading, remove the 

sentence ‘‘Amendment 3 to § 91.1603 is 

effective March 20, 2015.’’ 

§ 91.1603 [Amended] 

3. On page 15680, in the third 

column, beginning at line 19 from the 

bottom, remove Amendment 3.

[Public Notice: 8687] 

RIN 1400–AD51 

Visas: Waiver by Joint Action of Visa 

and Passport Requirements for 

Members of Armed Forces and Coast 

Guards of Foreign Countries 

AGENCY: Department of State. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Department of State is 

amending its regulations regarding the 

waiver by joint action of consular and 

immigration officers of visa and 

passport requirements for members of 

foreign armed forces and coast guards. 

Specifically, the regulation, as amended, 

removes the current list of countries 

whose armed forces members are 

ineligible for a such a waiver, and 

provides that, in every case, when entry 

of foreign armed forces and coast guard 

members is proposed under 

arrangements made with the appropriate 

military authorities of the United States 

and after coordination within the U.S. 

Government by those U.S. military 

authorities, the Department of 

Homeland Security and the Department 

of State will jointly decide whether to 

approve waiver of the visa and/or 

passport requirements. 

DATES: Effective Date: This rule becomes 

effective April 8, 2014.

Jennifer Liu, Legislation and 

Regulations Division, Legal Affairs, 

Office of Visa Services, Bureau of 

Consular Affairs, Department of State,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Why is the Department promulgating 

this rule? 

This final rule implements the joint 

determination of the Department of 

State and the Department of Homeland 

Security to remove the list of countries 

whose citizens or residents are currently 

ineligible for a waiver under 22 CFR 

41.3(e), pursuant to authority under 

section 212(d)(4)(A) of the Immigration 

and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. 

1182(d)(4)(A), as such a list is 

considered unnecessary and requires 

regular and resource-intensive review. 

The amended regulation clarifies that, 

in every case, when entry of members of 

foreign armed forces and coast guard 

into the United States is proposed under 

arrangements made with the appropriate 

military authorities of the United States 

and after coordination within the U.S. 

Government by those U.S. military 

authorities, the Department of 

Homeland Security and the Department 

of State will jointly decide, as a matter 

of discretion, whether to approve a 

waiver of the visa and/or passport 

requirements for the foreign armed 

forces and coast guard members. 

Finally, the amended rule extends 

authority to grant a waiver under 22 

CFR 41.3 to the Deputy Assistant 

Secretary of State for Visa Services or 

his or her designee, in addition to the 

consular officer serving the port or place 

of embarkation, jointly with the 

appropriate immigration officer within 

DHS.
