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 increase the efficiency and safety of the flow of
air traffic within the National Airspace System (NAS).
History
The FAA published a NPRM for Docket No. FAA-2023-1548 in the
Federal Register (88 FR 46121; July 19, 2023), proposing to amend RNAV
route T-302 in the vicinity of Acequia, ID. Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting comments
on the proposal. No comments were received.

Differences From the NPRM
The NPRM published for Docket No. FAA-2023-1548 in the Federal
Register (88 FR 46121; July 19, 2023) contained a typographical error
in the table listing the route points that describe the airway. The
table stated that the UKAYI waypoint (WP) was in Idaho (ID). The UKAYI
WP is in Oregon (OR). This rule corrects this error.
Incorporation by Reference
United States Area Navigation routes are published in paragraph
6011 of FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting
Points, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an annual
basis. This document amends the current version of that order, FAA
Order JO 7400.11H, dated August 11, 2023, and effective September 15,
2023. FAA Order JO 7400.11H is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. These amendments will be published
in the next update to FAA Order JO 7400.11.
FAA Order JO 7400.11H lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting points.
The Rule
This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by amending RNAV route T-302 in
the vicinity of Acequia, ID, to increase the RNAV route's lateral
separation from R-3203 and from parachute activities at Nampa Municipal
Airport and Caldwell Executive Airport in Idaho. The amendment is
described below.
T-302: This rule adds the ALKAL, ID, Fix to the airway description.
Additionally, the CANEK, ID, Fix is added between the ADEXE, ID, WP and
the ALKAL, ID, Fix. Lastly, this rule removes the PARMO, ID, Fix from
the airway. As amended T-302 extends between the CUKIS, OR, WP and the
GRIFT, IL, WP.
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 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 airspace action of amending RNAV
route T-302 in the vicinity of Acequia, ID, qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321
et seq.) 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), and paragraph 5-
6.5i, which categorically excludes from further environmental review
the establishment of new or revised air traffic control procedures
conducted at 3,000 feet or more above ground level (AGL); procedures
conducted below 3,000 feet AGL that do not cause traffic to be
routinely routed over noise sensitive areas; modifications to currently
approved procedures conducted below 3,000 feet AGL that do not
significantly increase noise over noise sensitive areas; and increases
in minimum altitudes and landing minima. As such, this action is not
expected to result in 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. Accordingly, the FAA has determined that no extraordinary
circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental
assessment or environmental impact study.
