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 air traffic service route structure in the north central United States to maintain the efficient flow of air traffic. History The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No. FAA 2021-0676 in the Federal Register (86 FR 48345; August 30, 2021), amending RNAV route Q-15 in high altitude airspace between Las Vegas, NV and Phoenix, AZ. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting comments on the proposal. There was one comment received that was not germane to the action and will not be summarized here.

The paragraph referenced is incorrect and should reference paragraph 2006. This rule corrects that error. United States Area Navigation 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 United States Area Navigation Route listed in this document will be published subsequently in FAA Order JO 7…
