Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 50 / Tuesday, March 15, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 14401 

7400.11F lists Class A, B, C, D, and E 

airspace areas, air traffic routes, and 

reporting points. 

The Rule 

The FAA is amending 14 CFR part 71 

by establishing Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface within a 6.4-mile radius of 

Dewitt Municipal Airport/Whitcomb 

Field, Dewitt, AR, providing the 

controlled airspace required to support 

RNAV (GPS) standard instrument 

approach procedures for IFR operations 

at this airport. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order JO 7400.11F, dated August 10, 

2021, and effective September 15, 2021, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designation listed in this document will 

be published subsequently in FAA 

Order JO 7400.11. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, is 

published yearly and effective on 

September 15. 

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 minimal. Since this is a 

routine matter that only affects air traffic 

procedures an 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.

States. 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends United 

States Area Navigation (RNAV) route T– 

218 in the eastern United States. In the 

NPRM, the FAA proposed to also amend 

T–212, T–216, and T–221 but those 

changes have been deferred to a later 

date and are removed from this rule. 

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, May 19, 

2022. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under 1 CFR part 51, 

subject to the annual revision of FAA 

Order JO 7400.11 and publication of 

conforming amendments.

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 

route structure as necessary to preserve 

the safe and efficient flow of air traffic 

within the NAS. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking for Docket No. 

FAA–2021–0974, in the Federal 

Register (86 FR 61728; November 8, 

2021), to amend RNAV routes T–212, T– 

216, T–218, and T–221 in the eastern 

United States. Interested parties were 

invited to participate in this rulemaking 

effort by submitting written comments 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
14402 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 50 / Tuesday, March 15, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 

on the proposal. No comments were 

received. 

United States RNAV T-routes are 

published in paragraph 6011 of FAA 

Order JO 7400.11F, dated August 10, 

2021, and effective September 15, 2021, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The RNAV route listed in this 

document will be subsequently 

published in FAA Order JO 7400.11. 

Differences From the NPRM 

The amendment of RNAV routes T– 

212, T–216, and T–221 has been 

deferred to a later date to accommodate 

additional planning and coordination; 

therefore, this rule only amends T–218. 

Routes T–212, T–216, and T–221 will be 

addressed in separate future docket 

actions. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order JO 

7400.11F, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 10, 

2021, and effective September 15, 2021. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly 

available as listed in the ADDRESSES

section of this document. FAA Order JO 

7400.11F 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 

amending RNAV route T–218 in the 

eastern United States. The change 

consists of adding an RNAV waypoint 

(WP) to replace a navigation aid that is 

scheduled for decommissioning. The 

change does not affect navigation along 

the route. 

T–218: T–218 currently extends 

between the Stonyfork, PA, (SFK) VOR/ 

Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/ 

DME), and the Sparta, NJ, (SAX) VOR 

and Tactical Air Navigational System 

(VORTAC). The Stonyfork VOR/DME is 

replaced by the DLMAR, PA, WP, 

(located 60 feet southeast of the 

Stonyfork VOR/DME). As amended, T– 

218 extends between the DELMAR WP 

and the Sparta VORTAC. The full route 

legal description of T–218 is listed in 

‘‘The Amendment’’ section, below. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, is 

published yearly and effective on 

September 15. 

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 amending RNAV route T–218, 

by adding waypoints, in support of 

efforts transitioning the NAS from 

ground-based to satellite-based 

navigation, 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 

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.
