This action establishes Canadian area navigation (RNAV) route T-705 in the Northeastern United States (U.S.) by extending the route into U.S. airspace. The FAA is taking this action to expand the availability of RNAV routing and fill a gap in routing in northeastern New York that resulted from the decommissioning of the Plattsburgh, NY, VHF Omnidirectional Range Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC).

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 modifies the National Airspace System route structure 
as necessary to preserve the safe and efficient flow of air traffic.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal 
Register for Docket No. FAA-2018-0050 (83 FR 9452; March 6, 2018), to 
establish Canadian area navigation (RNAV) route T-705 in the 
Northeastern United States (U.S.) by extending the route into U.S. 
airspace. The FAA proposed this action to expand the availability of 
RNAV routing and to fill a gap in routing in northeastern New York that 
resulted from the decommissioning of the Plattsburgh, NY, VORTAC. The 
PBERG, NY, waypoint (WP) has been established and charted near the 
location of the former Plattsburgh, NY, VORTAC.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. Two comments 
were received; both supported the proposal.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

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

The Rule

    The FAA is amending Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), 
part 71 by establishing Canadian RNAV route T-705 in the northeastern 
U.S. by extending the route into U.S. airspace. T-705 currently extends 
between the IKNAR, Canada, WP, located approximately 90 nautical miles 
(NM) north of Montreal, Canada, and the DUNUP, Canada, WP, located 
approximately 25 NM southeast of Montreal. This action extends T-705 
from the DUNUP, Canada, WP through the EBDOT, Canada WP, then into U.S. 
airspace via the LATTS, NY, and PBERG, NY, WPs. From the PBERG WP, the 
route proceeds to the RIGID, NY, fix, and from that point, it overlies 
VOR Federal airway V-196 to the Utica, NY, VORTAC. The amended T-705 
provides continuous RNAV routing between Utica, NY, and Montreal, 
Canada, and points north of Montreal to the IKNAR, Canada, WP.
    Canadian area navigation routes that extend into United States 
airspace are published in paragraph 6013 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 area navigation route listed in this 
document will be subsequently published in the Order.

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 of establishing Canadian 
RNAV route T-705 in the U.S. qualifies for categorical exclusion under 
the National Environmental Policy Act and its implementing regulations 
at 40 CFR part 1500, and in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, 
Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures, Paragraph 5-6.5a, which 
categorically excludes from further environmental impact review 
rulemaking actions that designate or modify classes of airspace areas, 
airways, routes, and reporting points (see 14 CFR part 71, Designation 
of Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas; Air Traffic Service Routes; 
and Reporting Points). As such, this action is not expected to cause 
any potentially significant environmental impacts. In accordance with 
FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5-2 regarding Extraordinary Circumstances, 
the FAA has reviewed this action for factors and circumstances in which 
a normally categorically excluded action may have a significant 
environmental impact requiring further analysis. The FAA determined 
that no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of 
an environmental assessment or environmental impact study.
