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–2021–0920, in the Federal 

Register (86 FR 60186; November 1, 

2021), to establish new RNAV routes T– 

370, T–398, and T–419 in the southern 

and central United States. Interested 

parties were invited to participate in 

this rulemaking effort by submitting 

written comments on the proposal. One 

comment was received, but no specifics 

pertaining to the proposal were 

included. 

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 routes listed in 

this document would be subsequently 

published in FAA Order JO 7400.11.

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 

establishing three new RNAV routes T– 

370, T–398, and T–419 in the southern 

and central United States. These routes 

overlie certain VOR Federal airways that 

are based on navigation aids (NAVAIDs) 

that are planned for decommissioning 

under the FAA’s VOR MON program. 

The new routes are described below. 

T–370: T–370 extends between the 

BURBIN, TX, waypoint (WP) and the 

VLKNN, AL, WP. T–370 overlies VOR 

Federal airway V–278 that extends 

between the Bowie, TX, (UKW) VHF 

Omnidirectional Range Tactical Air 

Navigation (VORTAC), and the Vulcan, 

AL, (VUZ) VORTAC. A number of 

navigation aids (NAVAIDs) that 

currently form V–278 are planned for 

decommissioning. Therefore, in the T– 

370 description, those NAVAIDs are 

replaced by RNAV WPs as follows. The 

BURBN, TX, WP replaces the Bowie, 

TX, (UKW) VORTAC. The RRORY, TX, 

WP replaces the Bonham, TX, (BYP) 

VORTAC. The TASEY, TX, WP replaces 

the Paris, TX, (PRX) VOR/DME. The 

SLOTH, TX, WP replaces the Texarkana, 

TX, (TXK) VORTAC. The RICKG, AR, 

WP replaces the Monticello, AR, (MON) 

VOR/DME. The EJKSN, MS, WP 

replaces the Greenville, MS, (GLH) 

VOR/DME. The IZAAC, MS, WP 

replaces the Sidon, MS, (SQS) VORTAC. 

The SKNNR, MS, WP replaces the 

Bigbee, MS, (IGB) VORTAC. The 

VLKNN, AL, WP replaces the Vulcan, 

AL, (VUZ) VORTAC. 

T–398: T–398 extends between the 

SLOTH, TX, WP, and the GMINI, NC, 

WP. T–398 overlies VOR Federal airway 

V–54 that currently extends between the 

Texarkana, TX, (TXK) VORTAC, and the 

Sandhills, NC, (SDZ) VORTAC. A 

number of NAVAIDs that currently form 

V–54 are planned for future 

decommissioning. Therefore, in the T– 

398 description, those NAVAIDs are 

replaced by WPs as follows. The 

SLOTH, TX, WP replaces the Texarkana, 

TX, (TXK) VORTAC. The LITTR, AR, 

WP replaces the Little Rock, AR, (LIT) 

VORTAC. The EMEEY, AR, WP replaces 

the Marvell, AR, (UJM) VOR/DME. The 

GOINS, MS, WP replaces the Holly 

Springs, MS, (HLI) VORTAC. The 

HAGIE, AL, WP replaces the Muscle 

Shoals, AL, (MSL) VORTAC. The 

FILUN, AL, WP replaces the Rocket, AL, 

(RQZ) VORTAC. The JILIS, GA, WP 

replaces the Choo Choo, TN, (GQO) 

VORTAC. The BALNN, GA, WP 

replaces the Harris, GA, (HRS) 

VORTAC. The BURGG, SC, WP replaces 

the Spartanburg, SC, (SPA) VORTAC. 

The CRLNA, NC, WP replaces the 

Charlotte, NC, (CLT) VOR/DME. The 

GMINI, NC, WP replaces the Sandhills, 

NC, (SDZ) VORTAC. 

T–419: T–419 extends between the 

MAHTY, AR, WP, and the TERGE, IN, 

WP. T–419 overlies those segments of 

VOR Federal airway V–305 that extend 

between the Walnut Ridge, AR, (ARG) 

VORTAC, and the Pocket City, IN, 

(PXV) VORTAC. A number of NAVAIDs 

that currently form V–305 are planned 

for future decommissioning. Therefore, 

in the T–419 description, those 

NAVAIDs are replaced by WPs as 

follows. The MAHTY, AR, WP replaces 

the Walnut Ridge, AR, (ARG) VORTAC. 

The FRNIA, MO, WP replaces the 

Malden, MO, (MAW) VORTAC. The 

MESSR, KY, WP replaces the 

Cunningham, KY, (CNG) VOR/DME. 

The TERGE, IN, WP replaces the Pocket 

City, IN, (PXV) VORTAC. 

The full route legal descriptions of T– 

370, T–398, and T–419 are listed in 

‘‘The Amendment’’ section, below. 

These changes provide RNAV routing to 

supplement VOR Federal airways that 

will be impacted by the VOR MON 

program, and support the transition to a 

more efficient Performance Based 

Navigation route structure. 

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 establishing three RNAV 

routes T–370, T–398, and T–419, 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.
