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 expand the availability of RNAV routes in the
NAS, increase airspace capacity, and reduce complexity in high air
traffic volume areas.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document proposes to amend FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 10, 2021, and effective
September 15, 2021. FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this proposed rule. FAA Order JO
7400.11F lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic
service routes, and reporting points.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to amend six
existing Q-routes, and establish one new Q-route, in the eastern United
States to support the VOR MON program.
The proposed Q-route amendments are as follows:
Q-19: Q-19 currently extends between the Nashville, TN, (BNA) VHF
Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) navigation aid
(NAVAID), and the Aberdeen, SD, (ABR) VOR/Distance Measuring Equipment
(DME) NAVAID. Because the Nashville VORTAC is planned for
decommissioning, this proposal would remove the Nashville VORTAC from
Q-19 and replace it with the HITMN, TN, waypoint (WP). The HITMN WP
would be located about 60 feet southeast of the Nashville VORTAC
location. Additionally, the FAA proposes to extend Q-19 from the HITMN
WP southeastward to the BULZI, FL, WP, (located east to the Tallahassee
International Airport (TLH), FL). As amended, Q-19 would extend between
BULZI, FL, and Aberdeen, SD.
Q-30: Q-30 currently extends between the Sidon, MS, (SQS) VORTAC
and the Vulcan, AL, (VUZ) VORTAC. New WPs would replace the Sidon and
Vulcan VORTACs. The IZAAC, MS, WP would replace the Sidon VORTAC, and
the VLKNN, AL, WP, would replace the Vulcan, AL, (VUZ) VORTAC. IZAAC
would be located 60 feet east of the Sidon position, and VLKNN would be
located 49 feet east of the Vulcan position. In addition, Q-30 would be
slightly realigned to the south of its current track to extend from the
IZAAC WP to a new SKNRR, MS, WP (which would replace the Bigbee, MS,
(IGB) VORTAC), then proceed to the VLKNN, AL, WP. The realignment of Q-
30 would overlay the segment of jet route J-52 between the Sidon and
Vulcan VORTACs. As amended, Q-30 would extend from IZAAC, MS, to SKNRR,
MS, to VLKNN, AL.
Q-79: Q-79 currently extends between the MCLAW, FL, WP and the
Atlanta, GA, (ATL) VORTAC. This action would amend Q-79 by replacing
the Atlanta VORTAC with the THRSR, GA, WP, which is located 60 feet
north of the Atlanta VORTAC position. The YUESS, GA, WP would be
removed from the route and replaced by the ZPLEN, GA, WP. Q-79 would
also be extended north from the THRSR WP to the Louisville, KY, (IIU)
VORTAC. As amended, Q-79 would extend between the MCLAW, FL, WP, and
the Louisville, KY, VORTAC.
Q-81: Q-81 currently extends between the LTUNSL, FL, WP, and the
HONID, GA, WP. The only proposed change to this route would be a small
move of the IPOKE, FL, WP, south of its current position. IPOKE is used
in transitioning aircraft between Jacksonville and Atlanta Air Route
Traffic Control Centers (ARTCC). This move would assist with air
traffic flow and avoid excessive coordination between ARTCCs. The
coordinates of IPOKE would change from lat. 30[deg]51'48.89''N, long.
084[deg]11'52.43''W, to lat. 30[deg]50'38.05''N, long.
084[deg]11'34.84''W. Additionally, in the Q-81 route description, the
location of the FIPES and BITNY WPs are listed as ``OG'' instead of a
state abbreviation. ``OG'' means that the WPs are located offshore over
the Gulf of Mexico.
Q-89: Q-89 currently extends between the MANLE, FL, WP, and the
Atlanta, GA, (ATL) VORTAC. The FAA proposes to remove the segment
between the YANTI, GA, WP, and the Atlanta VORTAC. Instead, the route
would extend from YANTI to a new HESPI, GA, WP, (located 30 nautical
miles (NM) southeast of the Atlanta VORTAC). From that point Q-89 would
extend northward to a new CULTO, GA, WP, (approximately 20 NM northeast
of the Atlanta VORTAC), and then northward to the SMTTH, TN, WP,
(located west of the Volunteer, TN, VORTAC). As proposed, Q-89 would
extend between the MANLE, FL, WP, and the SMTTH, TN, WP.
Q-118: Q-118 currently extends between the Marion, IN, (MZZ) VOR/
DME and the PEAKY, FL, WP. This action would remove the Marion VOR/DME
and the Atlanta VORTAC from the route description and replace them with
WPs. The Marion VOR/DME would be replaced by the BONNT, IN, WP (located
121 feet north of the Marion VOR/DME). The Atlanta VORTAC would be
replaced by the THRSR, GA, WP, (located 60 feet north of the Atlanta
VORTAC). As amended, Q-118 would extend between the BONNT, IN, WP, and
the PEAKY, FL, WP.
The proposed new Q-route is as follows:
Q-184: Q-184 would extend between the Ranger, TX, (FUZ) VORTAC, and
the ARNNY, AL, WP (approximately 30 NM west of the Montgomery, AL,
(MGM) VORTAC). Q-184 would be an overlay of those portions of jet route
J-4 between the Ranger VORTAC and the Meridian, MS, (MEI), VORTAC, at
which point Q-184 would proceed east to the ZRNNY, AL, WP. In support
of efforts to reduce the dependency on ground-based navigation, new WPs
would be used in the Q-184 route description as follows: The MERDN, MS,
WP, would replace the Meridian, MS, (MEI) VORTAC; the DOBIS, LA, WP,
would replace the Belcher, LA, (EIC) VORTAC; and the SARKK, MS, WP,
would replace the Magnolia, MS, (MHZ) VORTAC.
The proposed new and amended routes in this notice would expand the
availability of high altitude RNAV routing along the eastern seaboard
of the U.S. The project is designed to increase airspace capacity and
reduce complexity in high volume areas through the use of optimized
routes through congested airspace.
RNAV routes are published in paragraph 2006 of FAA Order JO
7400.11F dated August 10, 2021, and effective September 15, 2021, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The RNAV routes listed in
this document would be subsequently published in FAA Order JO 7400.11.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.
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.
