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 expands the 

availability of RNAV in Hawaii and 

promotes operational efficiencies to 

RNAV SID and RNAV STAR which 

enhances the air traffic capacity of the 

Hawaiian airports. 

History 

The FAA published an NPRM for 

Docket No. FAA–2019–0900 in the 

Federal Register (84 FR 67884; 

December 12, 2019), proposing to 

establish RNAV routes T–340, T–342, 

T–344, and T–346 in the Hawaiian 

Islands. Interested parties were invited 

to participate in this rulemaking effort 

by submitting comments on the 

proposal. No comments were received. 

Differences From the NPRM 

The NPRM published in the Federal 

Register (84 FR 67884; December 12, 

2019), included the new waypoint (WP) 

MALOA, HI, WP in the route 

description for RNAV route T–340. This 

WP will not be used as a route point for 

T–340. The NPRM also included 

HLENA, HI, WP in the route description 

of T–340. This action changes the name 

of the HLENA, HI, WP to HLONO, HI, 

WP. The location of the HLONO, HI, WP 

will remain as published for HLENA, 

HI, WP, in the NPRM. Finally, the route 

points KOLEA, HI, WP and PAIKO, HI, 

WP listed in the NPRM for T–346 have 

been renamed. The new name of the 

KOLEA, HI, WP is KIKKI, HI, WP. The 

location of the KIKKI, HI, WP will 

remain as published for KOLEA, HI, 

WP, in the NPRM. The new name of the 

PAIKO, HI, WP, is PLACK, HI, WP. The 

location of the PLACK, HI, WP will 

remain as published for PAIKO, HI, WP, 

in the NPRM. Lastly, the route point 

NORWA, HI, WP is being removed from 

the route description of T–346. This 

route point represents a less than one 

degree turn and therefore is not required 

to be included in the route description. 

The updated route point names and 

route descriptions are incorporated in 

this action. 

Incorporation by Reference 

United States Area Navigation Routes 

are published in paragraph 6011 of FAA 

Order JO 7400.11 Airspace Designations 

and Reporting Points, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1 on an annual basis. This document 

amends the current version of that 

order, FAA Order JO 7400.11H, dated 

August 11, 2023, and effective 

September 15, 2023. FAA Order JO 

7400.11H is publicly available as listed 

in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. These amendments will be 

published in the next update to FAA 

Order JO 7400.11. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11H lists Class A, 

B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic 

service routes, and reporting points. 

International Civil Aviation 

Organization (ICAO) Considerations 

As part of this action relates to the 

navigable airspace outside the United 

States 12 nautical mile territorial limit, 

this rule is submitted consistent with 

the ICAO Standards and Recommended 

Practices (SARPs). 

Applicability of the SARPs by the 

FAA, in areas outside domestic airspace 

of the United Sates is governed by 

Annex 11 to the Convention on 

International Civil Aviation. Annex 11’s 

purpose, together with Annex 2, is to 

ensure that international civil aviation 

is carried out under uniform conditions 

designed to improve the safety and 

efficiency of air operations. 

The SARPs in Annex 11 apply in 

those parts of the airspace under the 

jurisdiction of a Contracting State 

wherein air traffic services are provided 

and wherever a Contracting State 

accepts the responsibility of providing 

air traffic services over the high seas or 

in airspace of undetermined 

sovereignty. A Contracting State 

accepting such responsibility may apply 

the SARPs to civil aircraft in a manner 

consistent with that adopted for 

airspace under its domestic jurisdiction. 

Executive Order 10854 requires 

coordination with the Secretary of State 

and Secretary of Defense in the event an 

airspace action will wholly, or in part, 

affect an area outside of the United 

States or the overlying airspace thereof, 

over or in which the Federal 

Government of the United States, under 

international treaty, agreement, or other 

lawful arrangement, has appropriate 

jurisdiction or control. 

Due to this action involving, in part, 

the designation of navigable airspace 

outside of the United States, the 

Administrator has consulted with the 

Secretary of State and the Secretary of 

Defense in accordance with the 

provisions of Executive Order 10854. 

The Rule 

This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by 

establishing RNAV Routes T–340, T– 

342, T–344, and T–346 in the Hawaiian 

Islands to facilitate the movement of 

aircraft among the Hawaiian Islands and 

increase operational efficiencies to 

current and proposed RNAV SIDs and 

STARs. The new RNAV routes are 

described below. 

T–340: T–340 is a new route that 

extends between the NORBY, HI, Fix 

and the Hilo, HI (ITO), Very High 

Frequency Omnidirectional Range/ 

Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC). 

RNAV Route T–340 provides a route to 

the north of the island of Maui, avoiding 

turbulence from strong trade winds. 

Additionally, T–340 provides an 

alternative weather avoidance route 

between Oahu and the Big Island. 

T–342: T–342 is a new route that 

extends between the KUHIO, HI, WP 

and the Kona HI (KOA), VORTAC. 

RNAV Route T–342 provides a route to 

the north of the island of Molokai and 

then turns south to the Kona VORTAC. 

Additionally, T–342 provides for 

weather avoidance. 

T–344: T–344 is a new route that 

extends between the NAPUA, HI, Fix 

and the Kona, HI (KOA), VORTAC. 

RNAV Route T–344 provides a route 

along the south side of the Hawaiian 

Island chain. Additionally, T–344 

provides a more direct routing from the 

island of Kauai to the Big Island. 

T–346: T–346 is a new route that 

extends between the Lihua, HI (LIH), 

VORTAC and the PLACK, HI, WP. 

RNAV Route T–346 provides a route 

from the island of Kauai to the Big 

Island and connects to RNAV Route T– 

340. Additionally, T–346 supports 

single engine aircraft that need to stay 

within gliding distance to the shoreline.

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 39 / Tuesday, February 27, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 14381 

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 

airspace action of establishing RNAV 

Routes T–340, T–342, T–344, and T–346 

in the Hawaiian Islands, qualifies for 

categorical exclusion under the National 

Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 

4321 et seq.) 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), and paragraph 5–6.5i, 

which categorically excludes from 

further environmental review the 

establishment of new or revised air 

traffic control procedures conducted at 

3,000 feet or more above ground level 

(AGL); procedures conducted below 

3,000 feet AGL that do not cause traffic 

to be routinely routed over noise 

sensitive areas; modifications to 

currently approved procedures 

conducted below 3,000 feet AGL that do 

not significantly increase noise over 

noise sensitive areas; and increases in 

minimum altitudes and landing 

minima. As such, this action is not 

expected to result in 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. Accordingly, the FAA has 

determined that no extraordinary 

circumstances exist that warrant 

preparation of an environmental 

assessment or environmental impact 

study.

B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic 

service routes, and reporting points. 

The Rule 

This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by 

modifying the Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface at Spanish Fork Municipal 

Airport/Woodhouse Field, Spanish 

Fork, UT. 

The Class E airspace area extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

is increased to a 6.9-mile radius to better 

contain IFR departures until they reach 

1,200 feet above the surface on the 

SPANISH FORK ONE DEPARTURE 

(OBSTACLE) procedure. Additionally, a 

2.1-mile extension from the airport’s 

326° bearing extending 2 miles on either 

side is added to better contain IFR 

arrival operations below 1,500 feet 

above the surface on the Area 

Navigation (RNAV) (Global Positioning 

System [GPS]) Y Runway (RWY) 12 and 

RNAV (GPS) Z RWY 12 approaches. 

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 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
