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

Background

    The FAA is planning to decommission the Hobby VOR/DME in April 2019 
in support of construction activities for a new international terminal 
and associated parking garage at the William P. Hobby Airport, Houston, 
TX. The ATS routes effected by the Hobby VOR/DME decommissioning are 
jet routes J-37, J-138, and J-177, and VOR Federal airways V-15, V-20, 
V-68, V-76, V-194, V-198, V-548, and V-558.
    With the planned decommissioning of the Hobby VOR/DME, the 
remaining ground-based NAVAID coverage in the area is insufficient to 
enable the continuity of the effected ATS routes. As such, proposed 
modifications to the effected jet routes and VOR Federal airways would 
result in gaps in those routes. To overcome the gaps, 2 high altitude 
RNAV Q-routes (Q-24 and Q-56) are proposed to be amended and 4 low 
altitude RNAV T-routes (T-200, T-220, T-224, and T-256) are proposed to 
be established to replace the jet route and VOR Federal airway segments 
proposed to be removed over the Hobby VOR/DME. The proposed amended Q-
routes would provide the route structure necessary for departures from 
the Austin, Houston, and San Antonio terminal areas to transition to 
the en route environment. The proposed new T-routes would provide the 
Tower En Route structure through the airspace delegated to the Houston 
Terminal Radar Approach Control facility necessary to allow flights to 
continue along the en route structure that extends from San Antonio 
along the Gulf Coast into Florida.
    Instrument flight rules (IFR) traffic that cannot fly Q-routes 
could use adjacent jet routes J-29 between the Palacios, TX, VORTAC and 
Humble, TX, VORTAC; J-22 between the Palacios, TX, VORTAC and Lake 
Charles, LA, VORTAC; and J-2, J-86 and J-31 between the San Antonio, 
TX, VORTAC and Harvey, LA, VORTAC to circumnavigate the affected area. 
Similarly, IFR traffic that cannot fly T-routes could use adjacent VOR 
Federal Airways V-70 between the Palacios, TX, VORTAC and Sabine Pass, 
LA, VOR/DME; V-556 between the Eagle Lake, TX, VOR/DME and Sabine Pass, 
LA, VOR/DME; and V-212, V-571, and V-222 between the Industry, TX, 
VORTAC and Beaumont, LA, VOR/DME to circumnavigate the affected area. 
Additionally, IFR traffic could file point to point through the 
affected area using fixes that will remain in place, or receive air 
traffic control (ATC) radar vectors through the area. Visual flight 
rules pilots who elect to navigate via the airways through the affected 
area could also take advantage of the adjacent jet routes, VOR Federal 
airways or ATC services listed previously.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal 
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to modify 3 jet routes, 2 Q-routes, and 8 
VOR Federal airways, and establish 4 T-routes due to the planned 
decommissioning of the Hobby, TX, VOR/DME. The proposed ATS route 
amendments are to the descriptions of J-37, J-138, J-177, Q-24, Q-56, 
V-15, V-20, V-68, V-76, V-194, V-198, V-548, and V-558, and the 
proposed new T-routes would be designated T-200, T-220, T-224, and T-
256. The proposed amended and new ATS route end points are listed 
below. Full route descriptions are in ``The Proposed Amendment'' 
section of this document.
    The proposed jet route amendments are as follows:
    J-37: J-37 currently extends between the Hobby, TX, VOR/DME and the 
Coyle, NJ, VORTAC; and between the Kennedy, NY, VOR/DME and the 
Massena, NY, VORTAC. The FAA proposes to remove the airway segment 
between the Hobby, TX, VOR/DME and the Harvey, LA, VORTAC. The 
unaffected portions of the existing airway would remain as charted.
    J-138: J-138 currently extends between the Fort Stockton, TX, 
VORTAC and the Semmes, AL, VORTAC. The FAA proposes to remove the 
airway segment between the San Antonio, TX, VORTAC and the Lake 
Charles, LA, VORTAC. The unaffected portions of the existing airway 
would remain as charted.
    J-177: J-177 currently extends between the Humble, TX, VORTAC and 
the Tampico, Mexico, VOR/DME, excluding the portion south of lat. 
26[deg]00'00'' N. The FAA proposes to remove the airway segment between 
the Humble, TX, VORTAC and the Palacios, TX, VORTAC. The unaffected 
portions of the existing airway would remain as charted.
    The proposed Q-route amendments are as follows:
    Q-24: Q-24 currently extends between the Lake Charles, LA, VORTAC 
and the PAYTN, AL, fix. The FAA proposes to extend the route west of 
the Lake Charles, LA, VORTAC to the San Antonio, TX, VORTAC. The San 
Antonio, TX, VORTAC and MOLLR, TX, WP would be added prior to the Lake 
Charles, LA VORTAC. The unaffected portions of the existing airway 
would remain as charted.
    Q-56: Q-56 currently extends between the CATLN, AL, fix and the 
KIWII, VA, WP. The FAA proposes to extend the route south of the CATLN, 
AL, fix to the San Antonio, TX, VORTAC. The San Antonio, TX, VORTAC; 
MOLLR, TX, WP; PEKON, LA, fix; Harvey, LA, VORTAC; and Semmes, AL, 
VORTAC would be added prior to the CATLN, AL, fix. Additionally, the 
KBLER, GA, WP would be removed between the CATLN, AL, fix and the 
KELLN, SC, WP. The unaffected portions of the existing airway would 
remain as charted.
    The proposed VOR Federal airway amendments are as follows:
    V-15: V-15 currently extends between the Hobby, TX, VOR/DME and the 
Neosho, MO, VOR/DME; and between the Sioux City, IA, VORTAC and the 
Minot, ND, VORTAC. The FAA proposes to remove the airway segment 
between the Hobby, TX, VOR/DME and the Navasota, TX, VOR/DME. The 
unaffected portions of the existing airway would remain as charted.
    V-20: V-20 currently extends between the McAllen, TX, VOR/DME and 
the Nottingham, MD, VORTAC. The FAA proposes to remove the airway 
segment between the Palacios, TX, VORTAC and the Beaumont, TX, VOR/DME. 
The unaffected portions of the existing airway would remain as charted.
    V-68: V-68 currently extends between the Montrose, CO, VOR/DME and 
the Hobby, TX, VOR/DME. The FAA proposes to remove the airway segment 
between the Industry, TX, VORTAC and the Hobby, TX, VOR/DME. The 
unaffected portions of the existing airway would remain as charted.
    V-76: V-76 currently extends between the Lubbock, TX, VORTAC and 
the Hobby, TX, VOR/DME. The FAA proposes to remove the airway segment 
between the Industry, TX, VORTAC and the Hobby, TX, VOR/DME. The 
unaffected portions of the existing airway would remain as charted.
    V-194: V-194 currently extends between the Cedar Creek, TX, VORTAC 
and the Meridian, MS, VORTAC; and between the Liberty, NC, VORTAC and 
the intersection of the Cofield, NC, VORTAC 077[deg] and Norfolk, VA, 
VORTAC 209[deg] radials (SUNNS fix). The FAA proposes to remove the 
airway segment between the College Station, TX, VORTAC and the Sabine 
Pass, TX, VOR/DME. The unaffected portions of

[[Page 48732]]

the existing airway would remain as charted.
    V-198: V-198 currently extends between the San Simon, AZ, VORTAC 
and the Craig, FL, VORTAC. The FAA proposes to remove the airway 
segment between the Eagle Lake, TX, VOR/DME and the Sabine Pass, TX, 
VOR/DME. The unaffected portions of the existing airway would remain as 
charted.
    V-548: V-548 currently extends between the Hobby, TX, VOR/DME and 
the Waco, TX, VORTAC. The FAA proposes to remove the airway segment 
between the Hobby, TX, VOR/DME and the College Station, TX, VORTAC. The 
unaffected portions of the existing airway would remain as charted.

the Sabine Pass, TX, VOR/DME.
    All radials in the route descriptions below are unchanged and 
stated in True degrees.
    Jet routes are published in paragraph 2004, high altitude RNAV Q-
routes are published in paragraph 2006, Domestic VOR Federal airways 
are published in paragraph 6010(a), and low altitude RNAV T-routes are 
published in paragraph 6011 of FAA Order 7400.11C dated August 13, 
2018, and effective September 15, 2018, which is incorporated by 
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The jet routes, Q-routes, VOR Federal 
airways, and T-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.
