SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

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 proposed 

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 

Class E airspace at Gilmer County 

Airport, Ellijay, GA, to support IFR 

operations in standard instrument 

approach procedures at this airport. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (83 FR 14608, April 5, 2018) for 

Docket No. FAA–2018–0217 to establish 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at Gilmer 

County Airport, Ellijay, GA. 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 7400.11B dated August 3, 2017, 

and effective September 15, 2017, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

part 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends 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 Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

establishes Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

within a 7.3-mile radius of Gilmer 

County Airport, Ellijay, GA providing 

the controlled airspace required to 

support the new RNAV (GPS) standard 

instrument approach procedures for the 

airport. These changes are necessary for 

continued safety and management of 

IFR operations at the airport. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

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. 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 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. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 5–6.5a. 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: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

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 

National Airspace System route 

structure as necessary to preserve the 

safe and efficient flow of air traffic. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register for Docket No. FAA–2018–0050 

(83 FR 9452; March 6, 2018), to 

establish Canadian area navigation 

(RNAV) route T–705 in the Northeastern 

United States (U.S.) by extending the 

route into U.S. airspace. The FAA 

proposed this action to expand the 

availability of RNAV routing and to fill 

a gap in routing in northeastern New 

York that resulted from the 

decommissioning of the Plattsburgh, 

NY, VORTAC. The PBERG, NY, 

waypoint (WP) has been established and 

charted near the location of the former 

Plattsburgh, NY, VORTAC. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal. Two comments were received; 

both supported the proposal. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends 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 Rule 

The FAA is amending Title 14, Code 

of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), part 71 

by establishing Canadian RNAV route 

T–705 in the northeastern U.S. by 

extending the route into U.S. airspace. 

T–705 currently extends between the 

IKNAR, Canada, WP, located 

approximately 90 nautical miles (NM) 

north of Montreal, Canada, and the 

DUNUP, Canada, WP, located 

approximately 25 NM southeast of 

Montreal. This action extends T–705 

from the DUNUP, Canada, WP through 

the EBDOT, Canada WP, then into U.S. 

airspace via the LATTS, NY, and 

PBERG, NY, WPs. From the PBERG WP, 

the route proceeds to the RIGID, NY, fix, 

and from that point, it overlies VOR 

Federal airway V–196 to the Utica, NY, 

VORTAC. The amended T–705 provides 

continuous RNAV routing between 

Utica, NY, and Montreal, Canada, and 

points north of Montreal to the IKNAR, 

Canada, WP. 

Canadian area navigation routes that 

extend into United States airspace are 

published in paragraph 6013 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 area navigation route listed in 

this document will be subsequently 

published in the Order. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

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. It, therefore: (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. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action of establishing Canadian RNAV 

route T–705 in the U.S. qualifies for 

categorical exclusion under the National 

Environmental Policy Act and its 

implementing regulations at 40 CFR part 

1500, and in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: 

Policies and Procedures, Paragraph 5– 

6.5a, which categorically excludes from 

further environmental impact review 

rulemaking actions that designate or 

modify classes of airspace areas, 

airways, routes, and reporting points 

(see 14 CFR part 71, Designation of 

Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas; 

Air Traffic Service Routes; and 

Reporting Points). As such, this action 

is not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts. In 

accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

paragraph 5–2 regarding Extraordinary 

Circumstances, the FAA has reviewed 

this action for factors and circumstances 

in which a normally categorically 

excluded action may have a significant 

environmental impact requiring further 

analysis. The FAA determined that no 

extraordinary circumstances exist that 

warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment or 

environmental impact study.

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D 

airspace, Class E airspace designated as 

an extension to a Class D surface area, 

and Class E airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface by 

updating the airport name to McGuire 

Field (Joint Base McGuire-DixLakehurst). This action also amends 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface in 

Wrightstown, NJ, by updating the name 

and geographic coordinates of Ocean 

County Airport (formerly Robert J. 

Miller Airpark, Toms River, NJ). Also, 

an editorial change is made where 

necessary, removing the city from the 

airport name in the airspace 

designation. Controlled airspace is 

necessary for the safety and 

management of instrument flight rules 

(IFR) operations in the area. This action 

also updates the geographic coordinates 

of the Lakehurst (Navy) TACAN and 

Colts Neck VOR/DME.
