This regulation is within the scope of that authority as it modifies the route structure as necessary to preserve the safe and efficient flow of air traffic within the NAS. History The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No. FAA-2021-0991, in the Federal Register (86 FR 67373; November 26, 2021), amending 3, and establishing 10 low altitude RNAV routes in the eastern United States.
