Administration, Room 350, 1701 

Columbia Avenue, College Park, GA 

30337. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

FAA Order 7400.11B, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated August 3, 2017, and effective 

September 15, 2017. FAA Order 

7400.11B is publicly available as listed 

in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists 

Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, 

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface within a 6- 

mile radius of Chebeague Island 

Heliport, Chebeague Island, ME, 

providing the controlled airspace 

required to support the new Copter 

RNAV (GPS) standard instrument 

approach procedures for IFR operations 

at Chebeague Island Heliport. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.11B, dated August 3, 2017, 

and effective September 15, 2017, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

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. 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 

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. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal would be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.

Routes, Atlantic Coast Route Project;

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM); withdrawal. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is withdrawing the 

NPRM published in the Federal 

Register on January 5, 2017, proposing 

to establish 12 high altitude area 

navigation (RNAV) routes (Q-routes), 

and modify one existing Q-route, in 

support of the Atlantic Coast Route 

Project (ACRP). The FAA reviewed 

project scoping and determined that 

additional planning is warranted to 

ensure a more efficient implementation 

and integration with other ongoing 

program activities, and determined that 

withdrawal of the proposed rule is 

warranted. 

DATES: Effective as of 0901 UTC, June 

22, 2018, the proposed rule published

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

The FAA published a NPRM in the 

Federal Register for Docket No. FAA– 

2016–9556 (82 FR 1276; January 5, 

2017). The NPRM proposed 12 new Qroutes (Q–75, Q–97, Q–167, Q–220, Q– 

411, Q–419, Q–430, Q–437, Q–439, Q– 

445, Q–450 and Q–479); and existing 

route Q–480, along the Atlantic Coast, 

in the northeastern U.S. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal. No comments were received. 

FAA’s Conclusions 

The FAA has reviewed project 

scoping and determined that additional 

planning is warranted to ensure a more 

efficient implementation and integration 

with other ongoing program activities; 

therefore, the NPRM is withdrawn.

Proposed Amendment of Class E 

Airspace, Bloomsburg, PA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

amend Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet or more above the 

surface at Bloomsburg, PA, due to the 

decommissioning of the Milton very 

high frequency omni-directional range 

collocated tactical air navigation aid 

(VORTAC) which requires airspace 

reconfiguration at Bloomsburg 

Municipal Airport. Controlled airspace 

is necessary for the safety and 

management of instrument flight rules 

(IFR) operations at the airport. This 

action also would update the geographic 

coordinates of the airport.

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the
