Proposed Establishment of Area 

Navigation Instrument Flight Rules 

Terminal Transition Routes (RITTR); 

Jacksonville, FL 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM); Reopening of the comment 

period. 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

establish seven Area Navigation 

Instrument Flight Rules Terminal 

Transition Routes (RITTR) in the 

Jacksonville, FL, terminal area. RITTRs 

are low altitude Air Traffic Service 

routes, based on Area Navigation 

(RNAV), for use by aircraft having 

instrument flight rules (IFR)-approved 

Global Positioning System (GPS)/Global 

Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) 

equipment. The purpose of RITTR is to 

expedite the handling of IFR overflight 

aircraft through busy terminal airspace 

areas. The FAA is proposing this action 

to enhance the safe and efficient use of 

the navigable airspace in the 

Jacksonville, FL, terminal area. This 

proposed rulemaking action was 

originally published in the Federal 

Register on July 1, 2005 (70 FR 38053). 

On that date, the proposal was listed in 

the table of contents under Proposed 

Rules, ‘‘Class E airspace,’’ rather than 

‘‘Area navigation routes.’’ Following the 

close of the comment period, the FAA 

was contacted by an aviation 

organization stating that they had not 

seen the NPRM for this action and 

desired to submit comments. It was 

determined that no comments had been 

received during the comment period. 

Therefore, the FAA has decided to 

reopen the comment period for 30 days 

to provide an additional opportunity for 

any similarly affected parties to submit 

comments. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before October 28, 2005. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this 

proposal to the Docket Management 

System, U.S. Department of 

Transportation, Room Plaza 401, 400

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

Background 

In March 2000, the Aircraft Owners 

and Pilots Association (AOPA) 

requested that the FAA take action to 

develop and chart IFR RNAV airways 

for use by aircraft having IFR-approved 

GPS equipment. Due to the density of 

air traffic in some areas, en route aircraft 

are not always able to fly on the existing 

Federal airway structure when 

transiting congested terminal airspace. 

In such cases, air traffic control (ATC) 

is often required to provide vectors to 

reroute aircraft transitioning through the 

area to avoid the heavy flow of arriving 

and departing aircraft. AOPA stated that 

RNAV airways should facilitate more 

direct routings than are possible with 

the current Federal airway structure and 

should provide pilots with easier access 

through terminal airspace. In addition, 

AOPA encouraged the expanded use of 

RNAV airways throughout the National 

Airspace System (NAS). 

In response to the AOPA request, a 

cooperative effort was launched 

involving the FAA, AOPA, and the 

Government/Industry Aeronautical 

Charting Forum. This effort began with 

the development of RNAV routes to 

provide more direct routing for en route 

IFR aircraft to transition through busy 

terminal airspace areas. This notice 

proposes to establish seven charted 

RITTRs for the Jacksonville, FL, 

terminal area. The RITTRs proposed in 

this notice would be depicted on the 

appropriate low altitude IFR en route 

chart(s). 

RITTR Objective 

The objective of the RITTR program is 

to enhance the expeditious movement of 

suitably equipped IFR aircraft around or 

through congested terminal airspace 

using IFR-approved RNAV equipment. 

RITTRs would enhance the ability of 

pilots to navigate through the area 

without reliance on ground-based 

navigation aids or ATC radar vectors. To 

facilitate this goal, and reduce ATC 

workload, RITTR routes would be 

designed based on the tracks routinely 

used by ATC to vector aircraft through 

or around the affected terminal area. 

Additionally, the routes begin and 

terminate at fixes or Navigational Aids 

located along existing VOR Federal 

airways in order to provide connectivity 

with the low-altitude en route structure. 

Initially, only GNSS-equipped aircraft 

capable of filing flight plan equipment 

suffix ‘‘/G’’ would be able to use 

RITTRs. 

RITTR Identification and Charting 

RITTRs are identified by the letter 

‘‘T’’ prefix, followed by a three digit 

number. The ‘‘T’’ prefix is one of several 

International Civil Aviation 

Organization (ICAO) designators used to 

identify domestic RNAV routes. ICAO 

has allocated to the FAA the letter ‘‘T’’

prefix, along with the number block 200 

to 500, for this purpose. 

RITTRs would be depicted in blue on 

the appropriate IFR en route low 

altitude chart(s). Each route depiction 

would include a GNSS Minimum 

Enroute Altitude (MEA) to ensure 

obstacle clearance and communications 

reception. 

The FAA plans to publish information 

about the RITTR program in the 

Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) 

and the Notices to Airmen Publication 

(NTAP). In addition, a Charting Notice 

would be issued by the FAA’s National 

Aeronautical Charting Office to explain 

the charting changes associated with the 

RITTRs. 

Related Rulemaking 

On April 8, 2003, the FAA published 

a final rule, request for comments, 

entitled Designation of Class A, B, C, D, 

and E Airspace Areas; Air Traffic 

Service Routes, and Reporting Points, in 

the Federal Register (68 FR 16943). This 

rule adopted certain amendments 

proposed in Notice No. 02–20, RNAV 

and Miscellaneous Amendments. This 

rule revised and adopted several 

definitions in FAA regulations, 

including Air Traffic Service Routes, to 

be in concert with ICAO definitions. 

Additionally, the final rule reorganized 

the structure of FAA regulations 

concerning the designation of Class A, 

B, C, D, and E airspace areas, airways, 

routes, and reporting points. The rule 

was designed to facilitate the 

establishment of RNAV routes in the 

National Airspace System for use by 

aircraft with advanced navigation 

system capabilities. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing to amend Title 

14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 

part 71 to establish seven RITTRs in the 

Jacksonville, FL, terminal area. The 

routes would be designated T–204, T–

205, T–206, T–207, T–208, T–210, and 

T–211, and would be depicted on the 

appropriate IFR Enroute Low Altitude 

charts. RITTRs are low altitude Air 

Traffic Service routes, similar to VOR 

Federal airways, but based on GNSS 

navigation. RNAV-equipped aircraft 

capable of filing flight plan equipment 

suffix ‘‘/G’’ may file for these routes. 

This proposed action would enhance 

safety and facilitate more flexible and 

efficient use of the navigable airspace 

for en route IFR aircraft transitioning 

through the Jacksonville, FL, terminal 

area. 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. 

Therefore, this proposed regulation: (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 will only affect air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this proposed rule, when 

promulgated, will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading 

Commission. 

ACTION: Proposed rules. 

SUMMARY: The Commodity Futures 

Trading Commission (Commission or 

CFTC) is proposing to amend Rule 

1.3(bb) by adding to that rule a 

definition of the term ‘‘client,’’ as it 

relates to commodity trading advisors 

(CTAs) (Proposal). This would clarify 

inconsistencies in the Commission’s 

regulations concerning the advisees of 

CTAs. The Proposal would also reflect 

the Commission’s longstanding view 

that its antifraud authority extends to all 

CTAs, irrespective of whether they 

provide advice on a personalized or 

nonpersonalized basis. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before November 28, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. The Proposal 

A. Background 

Section 1a(6)(A) of the Commodity 

Exchange Act (Act) 1 defines the term 

‘‘commodity trading advisor’’ to mean 

any person who: 

(i) For compensation or profit, engages in 

the business of advising others, either 

directly or through publications, writings, or 

electronic media, as to the value of or the 

advisability of trading in—

(I) Any contract of sale of a commodity for 

future delivery made or to be made on or 

subject to the rules of a contract market or 

derivatives transaction execution facility; 

(II) Any commodity option authorized 

under section 4c; or 

(III) Any leverage transaction authorized 

under section 19; or 

(ii) For compensation or profit, and as part 

of a regular business, issues or promulgates 

analyses or reports concerning any of the 

activities referred to in clause (i). 

Under the language of Section 

1a(6)(A) of the Act, the term 

‘‘commodity trading advisor’’ can 

include advisors who provide 

nonpersonalized advice, such as 

publishers of advisory newsletters or 

Web sites, as well as advisors who 

provide advice tailored to the needs of 

particular persons and advisors who 

direct other persons’ trading pursuant to 

a power of attorney or other written
