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 

The FAA is amending 14 CFR part 71 

by amending five existing Q-routes, and 

establishing one new Q-route, in the 

southeastern United States to support 

the VOR MON program. 

The Q-route amendments are as 

follows: 

Q–65: Q–65 currently extends 

between the MGNTY, FL, waypoint 

(WP) and the Rosewood, OH, (ROD) 

VOR and Tactical Air Navigational 

System (VORTAC). The FAA is 

removing the Rosewood VORTAC and 

replacing it with the RINTE, OH, WP, 

which is located 50 feet east of the 

VORTAC. Additionally, the FAA is 

amending Q–65 by shifting the route 

slightly east from the ENEME, GA, WP, 

to the DAREE, GA, WP, and by 

removing the JEFOI, GA, WP; the 

TRASY, GA, WP; and the CESKI, GA, 

WP while adding the KERLY, GA, WP. 

As amended Q–65 extends from the 

MGNTY, FL, WP to the RINTE, OH, WP. 

Q–77: Q–77 currently extends 

between the OCTAL, FL, WP and the 

WIGVO, GA, WP. The FAA is extending 

the current route northerly from the 

WIGVO, GA, WP to the HRTWL, SC, 

WP. As amended, Q–77 extends from 

the OCTAL, FL, WP to the HRTWL, SC, 

WP. 

Q–93: Q–93 currently extends 

between the MCLAW, FL, WP and the 

QUIWE, SC, WP. The FAA is extending 

the current route to the northwest from 

the QUIWE, SC, WP to the HEVAN, IN, 

WP. The following WPs are added 

between QUIWE and HEVAN: JEPEX, 

SC, WP; BENBY, NC, WP; DOOGE, VA, 

WP; HAPKI, KY, WP; TONIO, KY, Fix; 

and OCASE, KY, WP. As amended, Q– 

93 extends between the MCLAW, FL, 

WP and the HEVAN, IN, WP. 

Q–103: Q–103 currently extends 

between the CYNTA, GA, WP and the 

AIRRA, PA, WP. The FAA is removing 

the Pulaski, VA, (PSK) VORTAC and 

replacing it with the DANCO, VA, WP, 

which is located 138 feet east of the PSK 

VORTAC. As amended, Q–103 extends 

between the CYNTA, GA, WP, and the 

AIRRA, PA, WP. 

Q–116: Q–116 currently extends 

between the Vulcan, AL, (VUZ) 

VORTAC, and the OCTAL, FL, WP. The 

FAA is removing the Vulcan, AL, (VUZ) 

VORTAC and replacing it with the 

VLKNN, AL, WP, which is located 49 

feet east of the VUZ VORTAC. The FAA 

is also extending Q–116 northwest to 

the Springfield, MO, (SGF) VORTAC, 

and adding the following points prior to 

the VLKNN, AL, WP: LOBBS, AL, Fix; 

GOOGY, AL, WP; MEMFS, TN, WP; 

LUKKY, AR, WP; ZAVEL, AR, WP; and 

the Springfield VORTAC. As amended, 

Q–116 extends between the Springfield, 

MO, (SGF) VORTAC and the OCTAL, 

FL, WP. 

The new Q-route is as follows: 

Q–139: Q–139 provides area 

navigation between the MGMRY, AL, 

WP, and the RINTE, OH, WP, reducing 

the need for ground based navigational 

aids. Between the MGMRY and RINTE 

WPs, the route consists of the following 

points: VLKNN, AL, WP; SALMS, TN, 

Fix; HITMN, TN, WP; Louisville, KY, 

(IIU) VORTAC; GBEES, KY, WP; HICKI, 

IN, Fix; and CREEP, OH, Fix. 

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 five RNAV routes 

(Q-routes), and establishing one new Qroute, 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.

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 for Claremont 

Airport, Elkton, MD, to support IFR 

operations in the area. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (87 FR 2373, January 14, 2022) 

for Docket No. FAA–2021–1190 to 

amend Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Claremont Airport, Elkton, MD. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments 

were received. 

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 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently 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 routes, and 

reporting points. 

The Rule 

The FAA is amending 14 CFR part 71 

by amending the Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface at Claremont Airport, Elkton, 

MD, providing the controlled airspace 

required to support IFR operations at 

this airport. This action increases the 

radius to 6.9 miles (previously 6.0 

miles), and updates the airport’s name 

to Claremont Airport, (formerly Cecil 

County Airport). Also, this action 

removes the city name from the airport’s 

description, as it is unnecessary (as per 

FAA Order 7400.2).
