SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register (88 FR 
82252; November 24, 2023), amending and establishing multiple RNAV T-
routes in support of the FAA's VOR MON Program. Subsequent to 
publication, the FAA determined that for RNAV route T-358, the SWANN, 
MD; AVALO, NJ; MANTA, NJ; BURDY, MA; LBSTA, MA; and MESHL, ME, route 
points were inadvertently identified as WPs, in error. This rule 
corrects those errors by changing all references to these six points as 
Fixes. These are editorial changes only to match the FAA's aeronautical 
database information.
    Additionally, the FAA determined that it inadvertently omitted the 
BEADS, NY, Fix, and the JORDN, NY, Fix, from the part 71 description of 
RNAV route T-358. The BEADS Fix and the JORDN Fix were part of RNAV 
route T-358 but were incorrectly calculated to be a turn of less than 
one degree so they were not originally included in the part 71 
description. Subsequent to publication, the FAA determined that the 
route segment between the MANTA, NJ, Fix and the BEADS Fix was a turn 
of two degrees; and the route segment between the ORCHA, NY, WP and the 
JORDN Fix was a turn of one degree, which require that the BEADS and 
the JORDN Fixes be added to the part 71 description. Adding the BEADS 
Fix and the JORDN Fix to RNAV route T-358 does not substantially alter 
the route.
    In describing the changes to RNAV route T-445, the location of the 
Westminster, VORTAC was identified in error as ``ME'' and is corrected 
from ``Westminster, ME (EMI), VORTAC'' to ``Westminster, MD, (EMI), 
VORTAC''.

Correction to Final Rule

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, in Docket 
No. FAA-2023-1329. As published in the Federal Register of November 24,

    1. On page 82253, in the first column, under the heading ``The 
Rule'' in the paragraph starting with ``T-358'', correct ``AVALO, NJ, 
WP'' to read ``AVALO, NJ, Fix''.
    2. On page 82253, in the first column, under the heading ``The 
Rule'' in the paragraph starting with ``T-358'', correct ``AVALO WP and 
the BURDY, MA, WP; and between the LBSTA, MA, WP'' to read ``AVALO Fix 
and the

BURDY, MA, Fix; and between the LBSTA, MA, Fix''.
    3. On page 82253, in the first column, under the heading ``The 
Rule'' in the paragraph starting with ``T-445,'' correct ``Westminster, 
ME (EMI), VORTAC'' to read ``Westminster, MD (EMI), VORTAC''.
