Departure Procedures at Phoenix Sky Harbor International

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, (FAA), Department of 
Transportation.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA, Western Service Area is issuing this notice to advise 
the public of the availability of the Categorical Exclusion/Record of 
Decision (CATEX/ROD) for the Proposed West Flow Area Navigation (RNAV) 
Standard Instrument Departure (SID) Procedures at Phoenix Sky Harbor 
International Airport in Phoenix, AZ. The FAA reviewed the action and 
determined it to be categorically excluded from further environmental 
documentation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Marina Landis, Federal Aviation 
Administration, Operations Support Group, Western Service Center, 2200 
S 216th St., Des Moines, WA 98198-6547 or (206) 231-2238 or https://www.faa.gov/nextgen/nextgen_near_you/community_involvement/phx/.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA is proposing to amend the west flow RNAV SID procedures 
from Runways 25 Left, 25 Right and 26 at Phoenix Sky Harbor 
International Airport, Phoenix, Arizona. The proposed amendments are 
consistent with the resolution of the parties as stipulated in the 
Memorandum

[[Page 23760]]

Regarding Implementation of the Court Order, jointly negotiated 
following the court's August 29, 2017, Order in City of Phoenix, 
Arizona v. Huerta, 869 F.3d 963 (D.C. Circuit 2017). In response to the 
Court's decision, the FAA and the Petitioners worked together on the 
best way to implement the Court's order and agreed on an approach to 
address the Petitioners' concerns while ensuring that aircraft 
operations remain safe and efficient. The FAA, in consultation with the 
City of Phoenix, developed the Proposed Action to comply with the 
Court's Order and to meet the requirements set forth in the Memorandum. 
The parties agreed to a two-step process for departures for the western 
RNAV routes. The first step (Step One) of the process would provide 
interim noise relief to the Petitioners by approximating the western 
departure routes that were in place before the September 2014 RNAV 
procedures. Step Two, which is not part of the current proposal, is 
described in the Memorandum.
    Step One was further broken down into Step 1A and Step 1B.The FAA 
implemented Step 1A on March 29, 2018, to provide more immediate noise 
relief to the Petitioners. Step 1B is the subject of the current action 
and would involve replacing the departure routes in Step 1A and 
implementing nine new RNAV SID procedures. Step 1B is an independent 
proposed action consistent with Section 5 of the Memorandum and would 
complete Step One.
    Right of Appeal: This CATEX/ROD constitutes a final order of the 
FAA Administrator and is subject to exclusive judicial review under 49 
U.S.C. 46110 by the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of 
Columbia or the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the circuit in which 
the person contesting the decision resides or has its principal place 
of business. Any party having substantial interest in this order may 
apply for review of the decision by filing a petition for review in the 
appropriate U.S. Court of Appeals no later than 60 days after the order 
is issued in accordance with the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 46110.

    Issued in Des Moines, WA, on May 16, 2018.

Acting Manager, Operations Support Group, Western Service Center, Air 
Traffic Organization.
