Establishment of Area Navigation 

Instrument Flight Rules Terminal 

Transition Routes (RITTR); Cincinnati, 

OH 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action establishes three 

Area Navigation Instrument Flight Rules 

Terminal Transition Routes (RITTR) in 

the Cincinnati, OH, terminal area. The 

FAA originally proposed to establish 

four routes as part of this action, but one 

route (T–212) was deleted because it did 

not meet RITTR design criteria and its 

short length would provide limited 

benefits. RITTR’s are low altitude Air 

Traffic Service (ATS) 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 

FAA is taking this action to enhance 

safety and facilitate the more flexible 

and efficient use of the navigable 

airspace in the Cincinnati terminal area.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On July 6, 2005, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking to establish four 

RITTR’s in the Cincinnati, OH, terminal 

area (70 FR 38826). Interested parties 

were invited to participate in this 

rulemaking effort by submitting written 

comments on this proposal to the FAA. 

Two comments were received in 

response to the NPRM. 

Analysis of Comments 

The Aircraft Owners and Pilots 

Association wrote in support of the 

proposal. The second commenter 

expressed general support for the 

concept of terminal transition routes to 

assist IFR traffic transitioning Class B 

airspace, but stated that the proposed 

Cincinnati RITTRs do not accomplish 

this, and that IFR traffic (usually general 

aviation flights) would continue to be 

forced to make long detours around the 

Class B airspace. The commenter 

recommended that the FAA design 

transition routes that extend diagonally 

(northwest to southeast and southwest 

to northeast) across the Cincinnati/ 

Northern Kentucky International 

Airport (CVG) Class B airspace area. The 

FAA responds that these RITTRs are 

61734 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 206 / Wednesday, October 26, 2005 / Rules and Regulations 

part of the initial steps in providing 

RNAV-based alternative routes through 

Class B airspace at major airports. A 

number of factors were considered in 

the design of the Cincinnati RITTRs, 

including current arrival and departure 

traffic patterns at CVG, general aviation 

traffic flows transitioning the area, and 

chart clutter. The proposed RITTRs do 

provide more direct alternative routes 

than are currently available via the 

Federal airway structure in the CVG 

terminal area. As operational experience 

is gained with the RITTR program, 

refinements to the route structure will 

be made where needed. While the FAA 

is not adding additional CVG RITTRs at 

this time, it will consider the 

recommendation for additional CVG 

RITTRs in future en route and terminal 

area NAS efficiency reviews. 

Discussion 

In reviewing the configuration of the 

proposed RITTRs, the FAA determined 

that several adjustments to the routes as 

proposed in the NPRM are required. 

One of the design criteria for RITTRs 

specifies that the routes must begin and 

end at a fix or navigation aid located on 

the existing Federal airway structure. 

The purpose of this requirement is to 

provide connectivity between the RITTR 

and the low altitude en route structure 

to enhance the expeditious movement of 

suitably equipped en route IFR aircraft 

through or around a Class B airspace 

area. The proposed routes T–212, T–

215, and T–217 did not fully meet this 

criteria. As a result, the following 

corrective action is being taken in this 

rule. Proposed route T–212 is 

withdrawn. It was determined that, due 

to the short length of route T–212 (less 

than 15 miles), the route would be of 

minimal usefulness to the National 

Airspace System (NAS). To remedy the 

problem with the other two routes, the 

FAA is making the following changes. 

Route T–215, as proposed, extended 

between the Lexington, KY, (HYK) very 

high frequency omnidirectional range/ 

tactical air navigation (VORTAC) and 

the new GAMKE, IN, waypoint (WP). 

However, the proposed GAMKE WP is 

not located on the airway structure. 

Therefore, GAMKE will be relocated 

slightly south of its proposed position to 

place it on existing Federal Airway V–

47. This rule adjusts the GAMKE 

latitude and longitude coordinates to 

reflect the change. This change will 

bring route T–215 into compliance with 

the design criteria. 

Similarly, route T–217 does not meet 

the design criteria because one of its end 

points, the Springfield, OH, (SGH) very 

high frequency omnidirectional range/ 

distance measuring equipment (VOR/ 

DME) is not a part of the airway 

structure. To remedy this discrepancy, 

route T–217 will be extended north of 

SGH to the existing BONEE fix, which 

is located on Federal Airway V–12. In 

addition, a minor realignment of T–217 

will be made to the south of SGH to 

cross the existing PRUDE, OH, fix, 

which is located on V–5. This will 

insert two additional links to the VOR 

Federal airway structure in the T–217 

description. 

Finally, in the NPRM, the BOSTR, 

HEDEN, and MILAN points were 

identified as WPs. These points are 

actually existing charted ‘‘fixes,’’

therefore an editorial change to the 

affected route descriptions is being 

made in this rule to replace ‘‘WP’’ with 

‘‘fix.’’

With the exception of editorial 

changes, and the changes discussed 

above, this amendment is the same as 

that proposed in the notice. 

Low altitude Area Navigation Routes 

are published in paragraph 6011 of FAA 

Order 7400.9N dated September 1, 2005 

and effective September 15, 2005, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The routes listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

establishing three RITTRs, designated 

T–213, T–215, and T–217, in the CVG 

terminal area. These routes will be 

depicted in blue on the appropriate IFR 

en route low altitude charts. RITTRs are 

low altitude RNAV routes designed to 

facilitate the expeditious movement of 

IFR overflight traffic around or through 

certain congested terminal airspace 

areas. The routes may be used by GNSSequipped aircraft that are capable of 

filing flight plan equipment suffix ‘‘/G.’’

The FAA is taking this action to 

enhance safety and facilitate the more 

flexible and efficient use of the 

navigable airspace for en route IFR 

aircraft transitioning through the CVG 

Class B airspace area. 

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. Therefore, this 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 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.

development of multiple area navigation 

(RNAV) Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures (SIAP) for numerous airports 

within the Binghamton, NY 

geographical area with approved

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On August 23, 2005, a notice 

proposing to amend Part 71 of the 

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 

Part 71) by consolidating existing Class 

E–5 airspace designations in the 

Binghamton, NY metropolitan area and 

incorporating those areas into the 

Binghamton, NY description was 

published in the Federal Register (70 

FR 49221–49222). Interested parties 

were invited to participate in this 

rulemaking proceeding by submitting 

written comments on the proposal to the 

FAA. No comments to the proposal 

were received. The rule is adopted as 

proposed. 

The coordinates for this airspace 

docket are based on North American 

Datum 83. Class E airspace area 

designations for airspace extending 

upward from the surface are published 

in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 

7400.9N, dated September 1, 2005 and 

effective September 16, 2005, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document will be amended 

in the order. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Part 71 of the 

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 

part 71) provides controlled Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 ft 

above the surface for aircraft conducting 

IFR operations within the Binghamton, 

NY Class E–5 airspace description. The 

amendment consolidates the Class E–5 

airspace descriptions for Cortland, NY; 

Elmira, NY; Ithaca, NY; Endicott, NY; 

ans Sayre, PA, into one airspace 

designation for Binghamton, NY, and 

the designations for those areas will be 

removed by separate rulemaking. 

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. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not 

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under 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 rule will not have 

signicant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.
