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 

Air Traffic Service (ATS) route structure 

as necessary to preserve the safe and 

efficient flow of air traffic within the 

NAS. 

History 

The FAA published a NPRM for 

Docket No. FAA 2023–1835 in the 

Federal Register (88 FR 68516; October 

4, 2023), proposing to establish seven 

RNAV routes and amend one RNAV 

route in the eastern United States. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments 

were received. 

Differences From the NPRM 

The NPRM published for Docket No. 

FAA–2023–1835 in the Federal Register 

(88 FR 68516; October 4, 2023) 

contained a typographical error in the 

summary section. The summary section 

stated that the NPRM was proposing to 

establish three RNAV Q-routes, five 

RNAV T-routes, and amend one RNAV 

T-route. This should have stated that it 

was proposing to establish three RNAV 

Q-routes, four RNAV T-routes, and 

amend one RNAV T-route. Additionally, 

since publishing the NPRM, the FAA 

decided to postpone the establishment 

of RNAV Routes Q–221 and Q–227. 

Further, in the NPRM’s description of 

RNAV Routes Q–232, T–335, and T– 

432, the FAA incorrectly listed the 

NEION, NJ; HAWLY, PA; and CORTA, 

PA route points as waypoints (WP). 

These three route points are identified 

as a Fix in the National Airspace System 

Resource (NASR) database and charted 

as a Fix accordingly. This final rule 

corrects these errors. 

Incorporation by Reference 

United States Area Navigation routes 

(Q-routes) are published in paragraph 

2006 and United States Area Navigation 

(T-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. 

The Rule 

This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by 

establishing one RNAV Q-route, four 

RNAV T-routes, and amending one 

RNAV T-route in the eastern United 

States. This action supports FAA 

NextGen efforts to provide a modern 

RNAV route structure to improve the 

safety and efficiency of the NAS. The 

amendments are described below. 

Q–232: Q–232 is a new RNAV route 

that extends between the STUBN, NY, 

WP and the NEION, NJ, Fix. RNAV 

route Q–232 overlays a portion of Jet 

Route J–132 between the Elmira, NY 

(ULW), Very High Frequency 

Omnidirectional Range/Distance 

Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) and 

the CORDS, PA, Fix, and Jet Route J–223 

between the CORDS Fix and the NEION 

Fix. 

T–303: T–303 is a new RNAV route 

that extends between the Kinston, NC 

(ISO), VOR/Tactical Air Navigation 

(VORTAC) and the Boston, MA (BOS), 

VOR/DME. RNAV route T–303 overlays 

a portion of VOR Federal Airway V–1 

between the Kinston VORTAC and the 

Boston VOR/DME.

15012 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 42 / Friday, March 1, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

T–307: T–307 is a new RNAV route 

that extends between the PEARS, NC, 

Fix and the Syracuse, NY (SYR), 

VORTAC. RNAV route T–307 overlays a 

portion of VOR Federal Airway V–139 

between the PEARS Fix and the Sea Isle, 

NJ (SIE), VORTAC; VOR Federal Airway 

V–166 between the Sea Isle VORTAC 

and the BRIEF, NJ, Fix; VOR Federal 

Airway V–184 between the PADRE, PA, 

Fix and the Philipsburg, PA (PSB), 

VORTAC; and VOR Federal Airway V– 

35 between the Philipsburg VORTAC 

and the Syracuse VORTAC. 

T–335: T–335 is a new RNAV route 

that extends between the ZJAAY, MD, 

WP and the Syracuse, NY (SYR), 

VORTAC. RNAV route T–335 overlays 

VOR Federal Airway V–29 between the 

ZJAAY WP, which is co-located with 

the Snow Hill, MD (SWL), VORTAC, 

and the Syracuse VORTAC. 

T–432: T–432 is a new RNAV route 

that extends between the STUBN, NY, 

WP and the NEION, NJ, Fix. RNAV 

route T–432 overlays VOR Federal 

Airway V–36 between the STUBN WP, 

which is co-located with the Elmira, NY 

(ULW), VOR/DME, and the NEION Fix. 

T–705: Prior to this final rule, T–705 

extended between the DANZI, NY, WP 

and the MUTNA, NY, WP. The airway 

segment between the DANZI WP and 

the CODDI, NY, FIX is removed. 

Additionally, T–705 is extended to the 

southeast between the CODDI Fix and 

the Nantucket, MA (ACK), VOR/DME. 

As amended, T–705 is changed to now 

extend between the Nantucket VOR/ 

DME and the MUTNA WP. The 

amended route segment of T–705 

overlays portions of VOR Federal 

Airway V–46 between the Nantucket 

VOR/DME and the Calverton, NY (CCC), 

VOR/DME, and VOR Federal Airway V– 

44 between the BELTT, NY, Fix and the 

Pawling, NY (PWL), VOR/DME. The full 

T–705 route description is listed in the 

amendments to part 71 as set forth 

below. 

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 of establishing one RNAV Qroute, four RNAV T-routes, and 

amending one RNAV T-route in the 

eastern United States which supports 

FAA’s NextGen efforts, 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– 

6.5b, which categorically excludes from 

further environmental impact review 

‘‘Actions regarding establishment of jet 

routes and Federal airways (see 14 CFR 

71.15, Designation of jet routes and VOR 

Federal airways). . .’’. As such, this 

airspace 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. Accordingly, the FAA has 

determined that no extraordinary 

circumstances exist that warrant 

preparation of an environmental 

assessment or environmental impact 

study.

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Danville, IL 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends the Class 

E airspace at Danville, IL. This action is 

the result of an airspace review 

conducted due to the decommissioning 

of the Danville very high frequency 

omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of 

the VOR Minimum Operating Network 

(MON) Program. The name and 

geographic coordinates of the airport are 

also being updated to coincide with the 

FAA’s aeronautical database. This 

action brings the airspace into 

compliance with FAA orders to support 

instrument flight rule (IFR) operations. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, May 16,

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 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 amends the 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at Vermilion 

Regional Airport, Danville, IL, to 

support IFR operations at this airport. 

History 

The FAA published an NPRM for 

Docket No. FAA–2023–2340 in the 

Federal Register (88 FR 87731; 

December 19, 2023) proposing to amend 

the Class E airspace at Danville, IL. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments 

were received. 

Incorporation by Reference 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 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. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 

modifies the Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

to within a 6.6-mile (increased from a 

6.5-mile) radius of Vermilion Regional 

Airport, Danville, IL; updates the name 

(previously Vermilion County Airport) 

and geographic coordinates of the 

airport to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database; and removes the 

city associated with the airport from the 

header to comply with changes to FAA 

Order JO 7400.2P, Procedures for 

Handling Airspace Matters. 

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 5–6.5.a. 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.
