AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E 

airspace at Ada, OK. Additional 

controlled airspace is necessary to 

accommodate Area Navigation (RNAV) 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures (SIAP) at Ada Municipal 

Airport, Ada, OK. This action also 

updates the geographic coordinates of 

the airport to coincide with the FAA’s 

National Aeronautical Charting Office. 

The FAA is taking this action to 

enhance the safety and management of 

Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations 

at Ada Municipal Airport. 

DATES: 0901 UTC, October 22, 2009. The 

Director of the Federal Register 

approves this incorporation by reference 

action under 1 CFR Part 51, subject to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On April 15, 2009, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking to amend Class E 

airspace at Ada, OK, adding additional 

controlled airspace at Ada Municipal 

Airport, Ada, OK (74 FR 17439, Docket 

No. FAA–2009–0051). 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 7400.9S 

signed October 3, 2008, and effective 

October 31, 2008, which is incorporated 

by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class 

E airspace designations 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 

amending Class E airspace at Ada, OK, 

adding additional controlled airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface at Ada Municipal Airport, 

Ada, OK, for the safety and management 

of IFR operations. This action also 

updates the geographic coordinates of 

the airport to coincide with the FAA’s 

National Aeronautical Charting Office. 

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, when 

promulgated, will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

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 adds additional 

controlled airspace at Ada Municipal 

Airport, Ada, OK.

Establishment of Area Navigation 

Route Q–42; East-Central United 

States 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action establishes a high 

altitude area navigation (RNAV) route, 

designated Q–42, extending between the 

New York-Philadelphia area and the 

Kirksville, MO, very high frequency 

omnidirectional range/tactical air 

navigation (VORTAC) facility. The route 

will streamline RNAV procedures in the 

east-central United States by creating a 

route parallel to the existing Jet Route 

J–80. This action will help alleviate 

departure delay issues for westbound 

aircraft flying from the New York and 

Philadelphia areas. 

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, August

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under 1 CFR part 51,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On Wednesday, January 21, 2009, the 

FAA published in the Federal Register 

a notice of proposed rulemaking to 

establish area navigation route Q–42 (74 

FR 3468). Interested parties were invited 

to participate in this rulemaking effort 

by submitting written comments on the 

proposal. No comments were received. 

In the NPRM, the latitude/longitude 

for the MAALS waypoint was listed as 

lat. 40°19′16′′ N., long. 76°16′08′′ W. The 

position has since been updated in the 

National Airspace System Resources 

(NASR) database as lat. 40°19′19′′; N., 

long. 76°16′11′′ W. This is a minor 

refinement of the position that does not 

alter the alignment of the route. 

With the exception of the editorial 

change discussed above, this 

amendment is the same as that proposed 

in the NPRM. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

establishing high altitude area 

navigation route Q–42 between the 

Kirksville, MO, VORTAC and the 

ELIOT, PA, navigation fix. The new 

route will enhance the flow of air traffic 

in a major transit corridor, parallel to J– 

80, and traversing airspace assigned to 

the New York, Cleveland, Indianapolis, 

Chicago and Kansas City Air Route 

Traffic Control Centers. 

High altitude RNAV routes are 

published in paragraph 2006 of FAA 

Order 7400.9S signed October 3, 2008 

and effective October 31, 2008, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The RNAV route listed in this 

document will be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

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. 

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 amends a portion of the en route 

structure to enhance the safe and 

efficient use of the NAS in the EastCentral United States. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 311a and 311b. This airspace 

action is not expected to cause any 

potentially significant environmental 

impacts, and no extraordinary 

circumstances exist that warrant 

preparation of an environmental 

assessment.
