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 amend the route structure as necessary to support 
the continuity of the airways within the National Airspace System.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11B, airspace 
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017, and effective 
September 15, 2017. FAA Order 7400.11B is publicly available as listed 
in the ADDRESSES section of this

[[Page 18238]]

document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace 
areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting points.

Background

    The Seattle, Salt Lake City, Oakland, Denver, and Minneapolis Air 
Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCCs) propose to amend three RNAV T-
routes, remove one RNAV T-route, and establish five new RNAV T-routes. 
These RNAV routes will support the low altitude route structure in the 
above listed ARTCCs airspace providing routes around congested 
airspace, routing around special use airspace (SUA), lower minimum 
enroute altitudes (MEAs) across mountainous terrain, provide 
connectivity to instrument approach procedures (IAPs) at airports, 
while minimizing traffic congestion within ARTCC and terminal control 
airspaces.
    Additionally, FAA policy states even numbered route points are 
listed west to east and odd numbered routes points are listed south to 
north. Currently, route T-304 is an even numbered route extending north 
and south. Due to this amendment the route is oriented south to north 
which dictates a number change to an odd numbered route. Hence, the 
reasoning for deletion of route T-304. This proposed amendment corrects 
the numbering of the route and will be in line with current policy.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal 
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend United States RNAV routes T-274, 
T-276, T-302; remove route T-304, and establish United States RNAV 
routes T-268, T-317, T-328, T-332, T-355. The proposed route changes 
are outlined below.
    T-268: T-268 would be established from the Tatooush, WA (TOU), 
VORTAC to Bismarck, ND (BIS), VOR/DME. T-268 provides a route structure 
around Seattle Class B airspace to the northwest extending east, 
providing the lowest MEA across the Cascade Mountain Range, lower than 
existing victor airways where icing conditions are prevalent. The 
airway extends east through air traffic control terminal airspace 
areas, borders the Powder River Military Operations Areas (MOAs) to the 
north, and terminates in North Dakota.
    T-274: T-274 would be amended to provide a route across the Cascade 
Mountain Range in central Oregon. Once east of the mountain range, it 
provides a RNAV route between and past several MOAs, past Reno, Nevada 
and terminating just prior to Los Angeles ARTCC airspace.
    T-276: T-276 would be amended to extend west to Ocean Shores, WA 
and to the east, providing a route through the Columbia Gorge, 
bordering the Boardman MOA to the north. The route continues east past 
Walla Walla, WA, Missoula, Great Falls, and Lewistown, MT, bordering 
the HAYS MOA to the east, terminating at Glasgow, MT.
    T-302: T-302 would be amended to extend to the southeast providing 
an RNAV route bordering the JUNIPER and SADDLE MOAs. The route 
continues past Boise, ID, and Twin Falls, ID, then southeast to Rock 
Springs, WY. From Rock Springs, the route continues east, terminating 
at LLUKY waypoint south of LAKEANDES MOA in Nebraska. This route 
provides connectivity to terminal instrument approach procedures at 
several airports.
    T-304: T-304 would be removed.
    T-317: T-317 would be established from the Newman, TX (EWM), VORTAC 
to Astoria, OR (AST), VOR/DME. T-317 will provide an RNAV route 
replacing portions of V-187, which was affected by the discontinuance 
of the McChord VORTAC.
    T-328: T-328 would be established from the ORCUS, WA, fix to the 
KARSH, MT, fix. T-328 is a new airway that provides a route across the 
Cascade Mountain Range in northern Washington state where no low 
altitude airways exist today. This route borders the Okanogan MOA to 
the south, providing a safe route around the airspace. The airway 
borders the Spokane terminal airspace and connects with instrument 
approach procedures, providing a seamless transition from enroute to 
the landing phase of flight.
    T-332: T-332 would be established from the ZONUV, WA, waypoint to 
the ROZTY, WA, waypoint. T-332 is a new route across the Cascade 
Mountain Range in northern Washington state. This route is a shorter 
route through the Okanogan MOA, to be used when released for joint use. 
This route provides an MEA of 10,700 feet, which is 1,000 feet lower 
than another route to the south. This route saves over 60 flying miles 
to get to a low MEA across the mountain range where icing conditions 
are prevalent.
    T-355: T-355 would be established to extend south and north of the 
previous airway T-304, thus replacing the original west to east T-304 
airway. T-355 will extend north and south of the original T-304 route 
to provide greater utility for air traffic. The route provides 
crossings of the Cascade Mountain Range and provides for connectivity 
to terminal areas in the Bend and Medford, Oregon airports. On the 
south end, the route links to the existing T-263. To the north it 
provides a route west of Seattle Class B airspace to Bellingham, WA, 
and the Canadian border.
    United States Area Navigation Routes are published in paragraph 
6011 of FAA Order 7400.11B dated August 3, 2017, and effective 
September 15, 2017, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. 
The United States Area Navigation Routes listed in this document will 
be subsequently published in the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed 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 will only affect air traffic 
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed 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.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in 
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies 
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
