SUMMARY: This action corrects a final rule published by the FAA in the
Federal Register on April 25, 2024, that establishes United States Area

Routes Q-140, T-206, T-258, T-287, T-295, and T-398. The final rule

History
The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register (89 FR
31605; April 25, 2024), establishing RNAV Routes T-480, T-482, and T-
488, and amending RNAV Routes Q-140, T-206, T-258, T-287, T-295, and T-
398 in the eastern United States. Subsequent to publication, the FAA
determined that the DOGWD, VA; LOUIE, MD; and RTBRO, NC, route points
were identified as Fixes, in error. This rule corrects that error by
changing all references to these three route points to be listed as a
waypoint (WP). This is an editorial change only to match the FAA's
aeronautical database information and does not alter the alignment of
the affected RNAV Routes, T-295, T-480, and T-488.
Additionally, the FAA decided to postpone some of the proposed
airway changes to RNAV Route T-295. The segments between the Lancaster,
PA (LRP), Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring
Equipment (VOR/DME) and the LAAYK, PA, Fix are being retained.
Correction to Final Rule
Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me,
Establishment and Amendment of United States Area Navigation (RNAV)
Routes; Eastern United States published in the Federal Register on
April 25, 2024 (89 FR 31605), FR Doc. 2024-08665, is corrected as
follows:
0
1. In FR Doc. 2024-08665, on page 31605, near the bottom of the second
column, in the paragraph beginning ``The FAA identified the Bangor, ME
. . .'', correct the second sentence and add the third sentence to read
``Prior to this action, the Bangor VORTAC was in the description of
RNAV Route T-295 and remains on the route between the BRNNS, ME Fix and
the LAUDS, ME, WP. Additionally, the FAA decided to postpone some of
the proposed airway changes to RNAV Route T-295.''
0
2. In FR Doc. 2024-08665, on page 31606, near the top of the second
column, correct the description for Route T-295, to read ``T-295: Prior
to this final rule, T-295 extended between the POORK, VA, WP and the
Presque Isle, ME (PQI), VOR/DME. The FAA extended T-295 to the
southwest between the DUFFI, NC, Fix and the POORK WP; added the DOGWD,
VA, WP and the RIPKN, MD, WP to the route. Additionally, the FAA
removed the Chester, MA (CTR), VOR/DME from the route's legal
description as those segments contain turns of less than one degree. As
amended, the route is changed to now extend between the DUFFI Fix and
the Presque Isle VOR/DME.''
0
3. In FR Doc. 2024-08665, on page 31606, near the bottom of the second
column, correct the description for Route T-488 to read ``T-488: T-488
is a new route that extends between the Tar River, NC (TYI), VORTAC and
the RTBRO, NC, WP. T-488 overlays a portion of VOR Federal Airway V-189
from the Tar River VORTAC and the Wright Brothers, NC (RBX), VOR/DME.''
