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 expands the 

availability of RNAV in Alaska and 

improve the efficient flow of air traffic 

within the National Airspace System by 

lessening the dependency on ground 

based navigation. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking for Docket No. 

FAA–2021–0865 in the Federal Register 

(86 FR 59670; October 28, 2021), 

establishing United States Area 

Navigation (RNAV) route T–417 in the 

vicinity of Tok Junction, AK in support 

of a large and comprehensive T-route 

modernization project for the state of 

Alaska. Interested parties were invited 

to participate in this rulemaking effort 

by submitting comments on the 

proposal. There were no comments 

received. 

United States Area Navigation 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 published 

subsequently in FAA Order JO 

7400.11F. 

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 RNAV route T–417 in the 

vicinity of Tok Junction, AK in support 

of a large and comprehensive T-route 

modernization project for the state of 

Alaska. 

The route is described below. 

T–417: This action establishes T–417 

extending between the CEBUN, AK, 

waypoint (WP) located to the southwest 

of Northway, AK and the EGAXE, AK, 

FIX located to the west of Tok Junction 

Airport (PFTO). 

FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, is 

published yearly and effective on 

September 15. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA 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 determined that this 

airspace action of establishing RNAV 

route T–417 in the vicinity of Tok 

Junction, AK 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 5–6.5i, 

which categorically excludes from 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 131 / Monday, July 11, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 41055 

further environmental review the 

establishment of new or revised air 

traffic control procedures conducted at 

3,000 feet or more above ground level 

(AGL); procedures conducted below 

3,000 feet AGL that do not cause traffic 

to be routinely routed over noise 

sensitive areas; modifications to 

currently approved procedures 

conducted below 3,000 feet AGL that do 

not significantly increase noise over 

noise sensitive areas; and increases in 

minimum altitudes and landing 

minima. 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.
