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 route structure in the 

north central United States to maintain 

the efficient flow of air traffic. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking for Docket No. 

FAA 2021–0676 in the Federal Register 

(86 FR 48345; August 30, 2021), 

amending RNAV route Q–15 in high 

altitude airspace between Las Vegas, NV 

and Phoenix, AZ. Interested parties 

were invited to participate in this 

rulemaking effort by submitting 

comments on the proposal. There was 

one comment received that was not 

germane to the action and will not be 

summarized here. 

Differences From the NPRM 

In the NPRM published in the Federal 

Register (86 FR 48345; August 30, 

2021), the proposal section specified 

that RNAV routes are published in 

paragraph 6009 of FAA Order 7400.11E 

dated July 21, 2020 and effective 

September 15, 2020. The paragraph 

referenced is incorrect and should 

reference paragraph 2006. This rule 

corrects that error. 

United States Area Navigation Routes 

are published in paragraph 2006 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 United States Area 

Navigation Route 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 service routes, 

and reporting points. 

The Rule 

This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by 

amending RNAV route Q–15 in order to 

safely segregate overflight, arrival and 

departure traffic, and military 

operations in the high altitude airspace 

between Las Vegas, NV and Phoenix, 

AZ. 

RNAV route Q–15 currently 

terminates at the CHILY, AZ, waypoint 

(WP), just west of Prescott Regional 

Airport (PRC), Prescott, AZ. Extending 

Q–15 from the CHILY, AZ, WP to the 

NABOB, AZ, Fix is to provide air traffic 

controllers, through automation and 

industry outreach, one direction airways 

in that area for Q–13 and Q–15 between 

WPs where both would intersect 

between the NABOB, AZ, Fix and the 

HOUZZ, NV, WP. This allows traffic 

traveling southeast from the HOUZZ, 

NV, WP to the NABOB, AZ, Fix to 

utilize RNAV route Q–13 and traffic 

traveling northwest to utilize RNAV 

route Q–15, allowing for a smoother 

traffic flow in that area. 

Q–15: For route Q–15 the FAA is 

adding an extension to the route from 

the NABOB, AZ, Fix to the CHILY, AZ, 

WP. The rest of the route remains 

unchanged. 

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 

airspace action of amending RNAV 

route Q–15 between Las Vegas, NV and 

Phoenix, AZ 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.

[Docket No. SSA–2018–0012]

Anti-Fraud System 

AGENCY: Social Security Administration. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We previously published a 

notice of a modified system of records 

entitled Anti-Fraud (AF) System. 

Because this system contains some 

investigatory material compiled for law 

enforcement purposes, this rule exempts 

those records within this system of 

records from specific provisions of the 

Privacy Act. 

DATES: This final rule is effective May 

31, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 11, 2020, we published 

a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

(NPRM) in the Federal Register 1 in 

which we proposed to add the AF 

System to the list of SSA systems that 

are exempt from specific provisions of 

the Privacy Act pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

552a(k)(2). We also published a related 

System of Records Notice on the same 

day.2 The AF System is an agency-wide 

and overarching system that includes 

the ability to detect, prevent, and 

mitigate fraud in our programs. The AF 

System collects and maintains 

personally identifiable information, 

which assists us in identifying 

suspicious or potentially fraudulent 

activities performed by individuals 

across all of the agency’s programs and 

service delivery methods. We 

established the AF System to support 

our goal of enhancing SSA’s fraud 

prevention and detection activities by 

protecting the public’s data, providing 

secure online services, and increasing 

payment accuracy. 

This final rule adds the AF System to 

the list of SSA systems that are exempt 

from specific provisions of the Privacy 

Act due to the investigatory nature of 

information that is maintained in this 

system. 

Public Comments and Discussion 

In the NPRM, we provided a 30-day 

comment period, which ended on 

January 11, 2021. We received three 

comments. Of these three comments, we 

did not post two; one was blank and the 

other was unrelated to our proposal, 

fraud, and the AF System. We posted 

one comment because it related to fraud. 

The commenter expressed that we 

should check up on people who are 

collecting payments for a long period 

and said that checks must be signed by 

only the intended recipient. This 

comment did not address any specific 

parts of our proposal. 

After careful consideration, we are 

adopting this final rule.
