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–2021–0940, in the Federal 

Register (86 FR 61724; November 8, 

2021), amending 11 T-routes, and 

removing one T-route. Interested parties 

were invited to participate in this 

rulemaking effort by submitting written 

comments 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 

In addition to route T–208, the NPRM 

proposed to amend the following routes: 

T–207, T–210, T–336, T–339, T–341, T– 

343, T–345, T–347, T–349, and T–353, 

and to remove T–337. Since then, the 

FAA has determined that additional 

planning and coordination is needed 

prior to implementing the changes to all 

of the above routes except for T–208. 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 50 / Tuesday, March 15, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 14389 

Consequently, this rule only 

implements the amendment of T–208. 

The remaining routes are delayed to a 

later date. 

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 T-route T–208 in 

support of the South-Central FL 

Metroplex Project. The route change is 

described below. 

T–208: T–208 currently extends 

between the WALEE, FL, WP, and the 

SHANC, FL, WP. This action removes 

the WALEE, FL, and the MMKAY, FL, 

WPs from the route. The SIROC, GA, 

WP is added as the new start point of 

the route. The SAHND, FL, WP is added 

between the SIROC, GA, and the 

FOXAM, FL, WPs. After the FOXAM, 

FL, WP, T–208 proceeds to the SHANC, 

FL, Fix, as currently depicted on the IFR 

Low Altitude Chart. 

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 T–208, as described 

above, in support of efforts transitioning 

the NAS from ground-based to satellitebased 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). 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.
