SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking

    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 would modify the route structure in the western U.S. to preserve 
the safe and efficient flow of air traffic within the NAS.

History

    On June 5, 2015, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice 
of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to establish 13 RNAV Q-routes and one T-
route originating in Los Angeles Air Route Traffic Control Center's 
(ARTCC) airspace (80 FR 32074). Interested parties were invited to 
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on 
the proposal. No comments were received.
    The development of new RNAV Standard Instrument Departure (SID) and 
Standard Terminal Arrival (STAR) routes requires incorporation of these 
Q routes into the NAS Route Structure in order to maximize the benefits 
of increased safety in high volume en route sectors.
    The Los Angeles Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) currently 
does not have routes that join the Performance Based Navigation (PBN) 
arrival and departure procedures. The existing conventional jet route 
structure does not serve the new SID/STAR designs. Routes made up of 
ground based navigational aids are not capable of delivering aircraft 
onto the RNAV based arrival and departure procedures in an efficient 
manner. Developing these predictable and repeatable flight paths 
through a complex area confined by restricted areas will improve 
throughput and safety for Los Angeles ARTCC.
    This first phase of a two phase project will align a network of Q-
Routes with the new SIDs and STARs. The Q-Route structure is projected 
to optimize descent/climb profiles to/from several airports in southern 
California and create segregated arrival/departure paths to reduce 
airspace complexity.
    High altitude United States RNAV routes are published in paragraph 
2006 and high altitude Canadian RNAV routes are published in paragraph 
2007 of FAA Order 7400.9Z dated August 6, 2015, and effective September 
15, 2015, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The high 
altitude United States RNAV routes (Q-routes) and high altitude 
Canadian RNAV routes listed in this document would be subsequently 
published in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.9Z, airspace Designations and 
Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2015, and effective September 15, 
2015. FAA Order 7400.9Z is publicly available as listed in the 
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.9Z lists Class A, B, 
C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting 
points.

Differences From the NPRM

    This rule has several changes from the NPRM. First, the NPRM 
proposed to establish a low altitude RNAV route, T-326. Due to 
additional coordination required for low altitude routes, T-326 will 
not be included in this final rule, but will be finalized at a later 
date. Second, in the state of Nevada, BEALE waypoint was moved from 
lat. 36[deg]10'56.60'' N., long. 114[deg]49'34.81'' W. to lat. 
36[deg]10'56.83'' N., long. 114[deg]49'34.09'' W., to properly connect 
to a Standard Instrument Departure procedure. In the state of Idaho, 
HELLS waypoint is removed from Q-73. Also in Idaho, CORDU waypoint is 
moved from lat. 48[deg]10'46.10'' N., long. 116[deg]40'21.84'' W., to 
lat. 48[deg]10'46.41'' N., long. 116[deg]40'21.84'' W., to align with a 
future polar Q route. And finally, LAKKR waypoint, listed under Q-73, 
was erroneously shown in the state of Arizona, but is actually located 
in Nevada.

The Rule

    The FAA is amending Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 to establish U.S. RNAV routes Q-70, Q-73, Q-74, Q-78, Q-86, Q-
88, Q-90, Q-94, Q-96, Q-98, Q-114, Q-168, and Q-842, which is an 
extension of a current Canadian RNAV route and therefore retains the 
Canadian numbering. The routes will connect to new SID and STAR 
procedures as designed in the Southern California area. The routes are 
outlined below.
    Q-70: Q-70 is from the HAILO, CA, waypoint (WP) to the SAKES, UT, 
WP to support departures from Los Angeles basin airports to the 
northeast.

[[Page 5899]]

    Q-73: Q-73 is established from the MOMAR, CA, WP to the CORDU, ID, 
WP to accommodate arrivals to San Diego airport.
    Q-74: Q-74 is from the NATEE, NV, WP to the DEANN, UT, WP and 
supports arrivals to John Wayne, Long Beach and Ontario airports from 
the northeast.
    Q-78: Q-78 is established from the MARUE, NV, WP to the TOADD, AZ, 
WP to support arrivals to John Wayne, Long Beach and Ontario airports 
from the east and northeast.
    Q-86: Q-86 is from the TTRUE, AZ, WP to the PLNDL, AZ, WP for 
arrivals to San Diego and Ontario airports from the east.
    Q-88: Q-88 is established from the HAKMN, NV, WP to the CHESZ, UT, 
WP to support Los Angeles airport arrivals from the northeast.
    Q-90: Q-90 is from the DNERO, CA, WP to the JASSE, AZ, WP and will 
be the primary RNAV route to Los Angeles from Denver ARTCC.
    Q-94: Q-94 is from the WELUM, NV, WP to the ROOLL, AZ, WP to 
support Denver ARTCC arrivals to Burbank, Van Nuys, Camarillo and 
Oxnard airports.
    Q-96: Q-96 is established from the PURSE, NV, WP to the KIMMR, UT, 
WP to support arrivals to Burbank, Van Nuys, Camarillo and Oxnard 
airports from the Salt Lake ARTCC.
    Q-98: Q-98 is from the HAKMN, NV, WP to the PEEWE, AZ, WP to 
support Denver ARTCC arrivals to Los Angeles and San Diego airports.
    Q-114: Q-114 extends from the NATEE, NV, WP to the BUGGG, UT, WP to 
support Salt Lake ARTCC arrivals to Long Beach, Ontario and Orange 
County airports.
    Q-168: Q-168 extends from the FNNDA, CA, WP to the JASSE, AZ, WP 
and will be the primary arrival route for Los Angeles airport from the 
Denver ARTCC.
    Q-842: Existing Canadian route Q-842 is extended south into U.S. 
airspace. The route will begin at the BEALE, NV, WP and extend north to 
the existing TOVUM, AB, WP in Canada. This will provide routing for 
departures from Los Angeles, Long Beach, Ontario and Orange County 
airports to airports in Calgary and Edmonton, Canada.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    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. 
It, therefore: (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 only affects air traffic procedures 
and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated, 
does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical 
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance 
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policy and 
Procedures'' paragraph 5-6.5.a. 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.
