Proposed Establishment and Modification of Area Navigation 
Routes, Atlantic Coast Route Project; Northeastern United States

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM); withdrawal.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA is withdrawing the NPRM published in the Federal 
Register on January 5, 2017, proposing to establish 12 high altitude 
area navigation (RNAV) routes (Q-routes), and modify one existing Q-
route, in support of the Atlantic Coast Route Project (ACRP). The FAA 
reviewed project scoping and determined that additional planning is 
warranted to ensure a more efficient implementation and integration 
with other ongoing program activities, and determined that withdrawal 
of the proposed rule is warranted.

DATES: Effective as of 0901 UTC, June 22, 2018, the proposed rule 
published January 5, 2017 (82 FR 1276), is withdrawn.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    The FAA published a NPRM in the Federal Register for Docket No. 
FAA-2016-9556 (82 FR 1276; January 5, 2017). The NPRM proposed 12 new 
Q-routes (Q-75, Q-97, Q-167, Q-220, Q-411, Q-419, Q-430, Q-437, Q-439, 
Q-445, Q-450 and Q-479); and existing route Q-480, along the Atlantic 
Coast, in the northeastern U.S.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments were 
received.

FAA's Conclusions

    The FAA has reviewed project scoping and determined that additional 
planning is warranted to ensure a more efficient implementation and 
integration with other ongoing program activities; therefore, the NPRM 
is withdrawn.
