# 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Effective as of 0901 UTC, June 22, 2018, the proposed rule published January 5, 2017 (82 FR 1276), is withdrawn.

# 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 Q-routes (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to ensure a more efficient implementation and integration with other ongoing program activities; therefore, the NPRM is withdrawn.
