I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to a proposal to modify the quorum
requirement applicable to a non-U.S. company where such company's home
country law is in direct conflict with Nasdaq's quorum requirement.
    The text of the proposed rule change is detailed below: proposed
new language is italicized and proposed deletions are in brackets.

    5615. Exemptions From Certain Corporate Governance Requirements
    This rule provides the exemptions from the corporate governance
rules afforded to certain types of Companies, and sets forth the phase-
in schedules for initial public offerings, Companies emerging from
bankruptcy, Companies transferring from other markets and Companies
ceasing to be Smaller Reporting Companies. This rule also describes the
applicability of the corporate governance rules to Controlled Companies
and sets forth the phase-in schedule afforded to Companies ceasing to
be Controlled Companies.

(a) Exemptions to the Corporate Governance Requirements

    (1)-(3) No change.
    (4) Limited Partnerships
    A limited partnership is not subject to the requirements of the
Rule 5600 Series, except as provided in this Rule 5615(a)(4). A limited

    (i) In the event that a meeting of limited partners is required
pursuant to paragraph (D), the quorum for such meeting shall be not
less than 33\1/3\ percent of the limited partnership interests
outstanding.
    (ii) Notwithstanding the quorum requirements in paragraph (i)
above, Nasdaq may accept any quorum requirement for a non-U.S. Company
if the Company's home country law mandates such quorum for the
shareholders' meeting and prohibits the Company from establishing a
higher quorum required by paragraph (i) above. A Company relying on
this provision shall submit to Nasdaq a written statement from an
independent counsel in such Company's home country describing the home
country law that conflicts with Nasdaq's quorum requirement and
certifying that, as the result, the Company is prohibited from
complying with the quorum requirements in paragraph (i) above.

for a quorum as specified in its by-laws for any meeting of the holders
of common stock; provided, however, that in no case shall such quorum
be less than 33\1/3\% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common
voting stock. Limited partnerships that are required to hold an annual
meeting of partners are subject to the requirements of Rule
5615(a)(4)(E).

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discused any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The text
of these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV
below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B,
and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    Nasdaq is proposing to modify Listing Rules 5620(c) and
5615(a)(4)(E) (the ``Quorum Rules'') to allow Nasdaq to accept a quorum
less than 33 \1/3\% of the outstanding shares of a company's common
voting stock where the company is incorporated outside of the U.S. and
such company's home country law prohibits the company from establishing
a quorum that satisfies the Quorum Rules.
    Listing Rule 5620(c) establishes quorum requirements for an annual
meeting of shareholders for Nasdaq companies listing common stock or
voting preferred stock, and their equivalents.\3\ Under this rule, each
company that is not a limited partnership must provide for a quorum as
specified in its by-laws for any meeting of the holders of common
stock; provided, however, that in no case shall such quorum be less
than 33\1/3\% of the outstanding shares of the company's common voting
stock (the ``Nasdaq Quorum Requirement''). Nasdaq notes that domestic
listed companies are subject to quorum requirements under the laws of
their states of incorporation.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Listing Rule 5620(a).
    \4\ For example, Delaware allows companies to establish their
own quorum requirements in their certificates of incorporation or
bylaws, provided that the quorum must be at least one-third of the
shares entitled to vote on the matter. In the absence of a quorum
provision in the company's certificate of incorporation or bylaws,
Delaware requires a quorum of 50% of the shares entitled to vote on
the matter. See Del. Code Sec. 216.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Nasdaq recently discovered that the laws of certain foreign
jurisdictions are in direct conflict with the Nasdaq Quorum
Requirement. In particular, Nasdaq was approached by a French company
that took advantage of the foreign private issuer exception and relied
on home country practices in lieu of the Nasdaq Quorum Requirement, but
lost its foreign private issuer status and cannot comply with the
Nasdaq Quorum Requirement due to certain French law requirements.\5\ In
that regard, Article L. 225-98 of the French Commercial code \6\
provides that upon first notice, the ordinary shareholders' meeting
shall have a quorum requirement of one-fifth (20%) of the shares
entitled to vote. The Article further provides that by-laws of a

French company whose shares are listed on a regulated market (which
includes Euronext Paris) cannot provide for a higher quorum for
shareholders' meetings than that set forth above. As this rule
constitutes a public order under French law, it is required to be
followed and compliance is enforced by the French courts and by the
French stock exchange authority, the Autorit[eacute] des march[eacute]s
financiers. According to article L. 225-121, any decision taken in
violation of the aforementioned rules on quorum is deemed null and
void. As such, a French company listed on a regulated market cannot
comply with the Nasdaq Quorum Requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Ordinary shares of at least one Nasdaq listed company DBV
Technologies S.A. (DBV), are listed on Euronext Paris which is a
regulated market under French and EU regulations. Accordingly, as
explained below, DBV cannot amend its bylaws to increase the quorum
requirement to comply with the Nasdaq Quorum Requirement. Since its
IPO in 2014, DBV qualified as a foreign private issuer and relied on
home country practices in lieu of complying with the Nasdaq Quorum
Requirement.
    \6\ Available at https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/affichCodeArticle.do?idArticle=LEGIARTI000038799445&cidTexte=LEGITEXT000005634379&dateTexte=20190721.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Listing Rule 5615(a)(3) allows a foreign private issuer \7\ to
follow its home country practice in lieu of the requirements of the
Rule 5600 Series, including the Nasdaq Quorum Requirement, subject to
certain disclosure requirements and the requirement that an independent
counsel in such company's home country certify to Nasdaq that the
company's practices are not prohibited by the home country's laws.\8\
Accordingly, a French foreign private issuer could rely on Listing Rule
5615(a)(3) to remain in compliance with the Nasdaq corporate governance
requirements in the Rule 5600 Series.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ A foreign company will qualify as a foreign private issuer
if 50% or less of its outstanding voting securities are held by U.S.
residents; or if more than 50% of its outstanding voting securities
are held by U.S. residents and none of the following three
circumstances applies: the majority of its executive officers or
directors are U.S. citizens or residents; more than 50% of the
issuer's assets are located in the United States; or the issuer's
business is administered principally in the United States. These
tests are found in Securities Act Rule 405 and Exchange Act Rule 3b-
4.
    \8\ See Listing Rule 5615(a)(3)(B) and Listing Rule IM-5615-3.
    \9\ As of December 31, 2019, approximately 62% of DBV's
outstanding ordinary shares were held by U.S. residents. See
company's Form 20-F filed on March 20, 2020. As of June 30, 2020,
according to the information provided to Nasdaq by the company, more
than 50% of DBV's outstanding ordinary shares were held by U.S.
residents and the majority of DBV's executive officers were U.S.
citizens and residents and DBV's business was administered
principally in the United States. Accordingly, DBV will no longer
qualify as a foreign private issuer and will be required to comply
with SEC rules for domestic issuers as of January 1, 2021.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A non-U.S. company \10\ that is not a foreign private issuer
currently is required to comply with the Nasdaq Quorum Requirement
without regard to the requirements of such company's home country laws.
As described above, for some companies, including DBV, the company's
home country law prohibits the company from establishing a higher
quorum required by the Nasdaq Quorum Requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ The term non-US company refers to a company incorporated
outside of U.S. See also Listing Rules 5630 and 5640 that use this
term.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Accordingly, Nasdaq proposes to modify the Nasdaq Quorum
Requirement to allow Nasdaq to accept any quorum requirement for a non-
U.S. company if such company's home country law mandates such quorum
for the shareholders' meeting and prohibits the company from
establishing the higher quorum required the Nasdaq Quorum Requirement.
This approach is consistent with the provisions of Listing Rule 5640
that allows Nasdaq to accept any action or issuance relating to the
voting rights structure of a non-U.S. company that is not prohibited by
the company's home country law.\11\ Nasdaq proposes to require that a
company relying on this provision shall submit to Nasdaq a written
statement from an independent counsel in such company's home country
describing the home country law that conflicts with Nasdaq's quorum
requirement. Nasdaq also proposes to require such counsel to certify
that, as the result of the conflict with the home country law, the
company is prohibited from complying with the Nasdaq Quorum
Requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ The proposed modified Nasdaq Quorum Requirement will apply
only in circumstances where the company's home country law
specifically prohibits the company from establishing a higher quorum
required the Nasdaq Quorum Requirement, whereas Listing 5640 allows
Nasdaq to accept any voting rights structure of a non-U.S. company
that is not prohibited by the company's home country law.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Nasdaq also proposes to modify Listing Rule 5615(a)(4)(E) governing
the quorum requirements for limited partnerships listed on Nasdaq to
also reflect this change to the Nasdaq Quorum Requirement.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,\12\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\13\ in particular, in that it is designed to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments
to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national
market system, and, in general to protect investors and the public
interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Nasdaq believes that the proposed amendments to Listing Rules
5620(c) and 5615(a)(4)(E) are designed to protect interests and the
public interest because the proposal would eliminate a conflict forcing
a company to choose between following Nasdaq's rules or the law in its
home jurisdiction. Further, while the Nasdaq Quorum Requirement would
not apply, there would continue to be other protections for
shareholders provided by the company's home country laws. Nasdaq also
believes that Nasdaq's long experience of listing foreign private
issuers, including DBV, while allowing such companies to rely on home
country practices in lieu of the Nasdaq Quorum Requirement provides
evidence of an appropriate level of investor protection. In addition,
this modification is consistent with the provisions of Listing Rule
5640 that allows Nasdaq to accept any action or issuance relating to
the voting rights structure of a non-U.S. company that is not
prohibited by the company's home country law.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed rule change will
address conflicting requirements of jurisdictions affecting a small
number of non-U.S. companies, as described above; and as such, these
changes are neither intended to, nor expected to, impose any burden on
competition.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Within 45 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to
be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the Exchange consents, the Commission shall: (a) By order approve
or disapprove such proposed rule change, or (b) institute proceedings
to determine whether the proposed rule change should be disapproved.

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

II. Background A. What Action is the Agency Taking? This ANPRM is alerting stakeholders that EPA is considering changing procedures and requirements for naming enzymes and proteins for the purpose of listing those substances on the TSCA Inventory. Specifically, EPA has identified four elements that it currently believes are appropriate for use in creating unique and unambiguous identities for proteinaceous enzymes on the TSCA Inventory. Through this ANPRM, EPA is also soliciting public comment on the scientific appropriateness and technical feasibility of using the identification elements summarized herein. *** EO 12866 Review Draft of 07/ 02/ 2004 ***

Page 5 of 10 B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action? Section 8( b) of TSCA requires EPA to `` compile, keep current, and publish a list of each chemical substance which is manufactured or processed in the United States'' ( the TSCA Inventory). In order to fulfill this requirement, EPA must continuously update and keep current various types of information, including, but not limited to, the information used to identify any new chemical substance that is reported to be manufactured or processed in the United States. EPA also makes corrections, when necessary, of previously reported information on the TSCA Inventory.

C. TSCA Inventory Background As stated above, TSCA section 8( b) requires EPA to compile, keep current, and publish a list of chemical substances which are manufactured ( including imported) or processed in the United States. This listing, known as the `` TSCA Inventory,'' informs the public of which chemical substances are being manufactured, imported, or processed in the United States for commercial purposes. For the TSCA Inventory to accurately inform the public, it must be continuously and accurately updated as new information becomes available. The updating process includes adding to the Inventory the identities of new chemical substances that are being introduced into U. S. commerce and corrections when necessary of the identities of previously reported substances. The Agency has developed policies regarding the identification of chemical substances for the purpose of assigning a unique description of each substance on the TSCA Inventory. Published nomenclature guidance is currently available for polymeric substances, substances containing varying carbon chain lengths, complex reaction products, mixtures, and chemical substances of unknown or variable compositions. Approximately 81,500 chemical substances, as defined in section 3 of TSCA, are on the TSCA Inventory at this time. In its implementation of TSCA, EPA defines chemical substances as either `` existing'' chemicals or `` new'' chemicals. The only way to determine if a substance is new or existing is by consulting the TSCA Inventory. Any substance that is listed on the TSCA Inventory is an existing chemical, otherwise it is a new chemical. If a substance is a new chemical, generally it can be manufactured or imported for nonexempt commercial purposes only when a Premanufacture Notice ( PMN) is submitted at least 90 days before the manufacture or import of such substance begins ( see section 5( a) of TSCA and 40 CFR part 720). During this 90 day review period EPA will evaluate the proposed manufacture, processing, use, distribution in commerce, and disposal of the substance, and if necessary, prohibit or limit any activity that may result in an unreasonable risk of injury to human health or the *** EO 12866 Review Draft of 07/ 02/ 2004 ***

Page 6 of 10 environment. A new chemical substance also can be manufactured or imported if it is subject to an exemption from full premanufacture reporting, for example a Low Volume Exemption or a Test Marketing Exemption ( see 40 CFR part 723 and 40 CFR 720.38). In addition a new chemical substance is excluded from premanufacture reporting under certain conditions such as manufacture or import of small quantities for research and development or if the substance does not meet the TSCA definition of chemical substance as defined in 40 CFR part 720.3( e) ( see 40 CFR 720.30).

D. Inventory Listings of Enzymes When EPA promulgated the TSCA Inventory Reporting Regulations of 1977 ( 42 FR 64572, December 23, 1977), the Agency did not provide specific guidance regarding how complex biological compounds should be identified. However, EPA did publish the TSCA Candidates List to provide examples of the types of substances that would be reportable for the Inventory. That list included enzymes. As a result, approximately 150 enzymes were reported and listed on the TSCA Inventory without specific agency guidance regarding how they should be unambiguously identified. The original Inventory listings for nonenzymatic proteins and other complex biological compounds are based on information originally reported to EPA that varies widely in the type and specificity of information included. The enzymes currently on the TSCA Inventory are identified by a Chemical Abstract Services ( CAS) Registry Number and Chemical Abstracts 9th Collective Index Name. The names assigned to these enzymes by EPA vary in the type and specificity of information included due to wide variation in the type and amount of information originally reported to EPA. For some enzymes, the name is broad, defining only the most generic catalytic activity of the enzyme ( e. g., proteinase). As a result of the existing broad and generic TSCA Inventory enzyme listings, it has been difficult for EPA to determine whether enzyme substances are new and distinct, or covered under existing listings. In most cases, newly developed enzymes appear to be subsumed under one of the current broad and generic TSCA Inventory enzyme listings, which means that, although they are newly developed, they appear to be existing chemicals. This, in turn, means that EPA is reviewing very few new enzymes under section 5 of TSCA, despite the ongoing innovation in this field as to the specificity and functions of commercially available enzymes. Under the existing nomenclature system, therefore, EPA may not be addressing all of the newly developed enzymes and considering the potential risks that may be associated with these substances under section 5 of TSCA. A more *** EO 12866 Review Draft of 07/ 02/ 2004 ***

Page 7 of 10 specific nomenclature system would allow EPA to assess newly developed enzymes and take actions needed to prevent potential unreasonable risks to health and the environment that may be associated with these substances under section 5 of TSCA before they occur. In addition, the broad TSCA Inventory enzyme listings, the lack of clear reporting guidelines, and the absence of policy concerning what structural variation or changes trigger reporting, also make it difficult for manufacturers to determine whether enzyme substances are new or covered under existing listings. Recognizing that enzyme listings on the Inventory were broad, EPA developed an interim policy that manufacturers of enzymes should contact EPA regarding submission of a bona fide intent to manufacture before producing any enzyme. EPA also routinely advised submitters of a Notice of Bona Fide Intent to Manufacture that the Agency may modify the method of listing enzymes on the Inventory and that this could require reporting at a higher level of detail than is required at present. This case by case determination creates uncertainty and an unnecessary burden for both the Agency and PMN submitters. More specific guidelines for identifying enzymes on the TSCA Inventory would make the process of deciding whether an enzyme is new or existing more predictable and transparent. In order to more effectively meet its statutory obligation under TSCA to prevent unreasonable risk to human health and the environment and to maintain a complete and accurate list of all chemical substances manufactured, imported, or processed, EPA believes it is necessary to refine its policies with regard to enzyme identification reporting requirements. The timely development of identification reporting guidelines for enzymes is essential, given the increasing use of enzymes in commerce, the wide variety of enzymes that are being produced, and the development of new and different manufacturing techniques.

III. Identification Elements A. Description of Identification Elements EPA has identified four elements that it currently believes are appropriate to use in combination to create unambiguous listings for proteinaceous enzymes on the TSCA Inventory: 1. Function. 2. Source. 3. Processing. 4. Amino acid sequence. EPA believes that no individual element provides sufficient identification information by itself. Rather, EPA anticipates that all four elements will provide useful and necessary information for the *** EO 12866 Review Draft of 07/ 02/ 2004 ***

Page 8 of 10 unambiguous identification of proteinaceous enzymes and that some combination of these and/ or additional identification elements may be appropriate for other enzymes and proteins. The function of an enzyme refers to its catalytic activity. The internationally accepted nomenclature conventions of the Nomenclature Committee of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology ( NC IUBMB) describe and differentiate enzymes based on catalytic activity. Function, or catalytic activity, could be incorporated as an element of chemical identity of an enzyme on the TSCA Inventory using this standard enzyme nomenclature. Source refers to: The organism from which the gene encoding the enzyme was derived and the organism or manufacturing platform ( e. g., tissue culture) in which the enzyme is produced. The two sources may be the same or differ when the enzyme gene from one organism is introduced through genetic engineering into a different organism or through the use of a synthetic sequence. Processing refers to procedures used to isolate the enzyme from the production organism or manufacturing platform, procedures used to purify it, or any chemical reactions to which the enzyme is subjected to produce the final product. The amino acid sequence of an enzyme or protein is known as its primary structure. The amino acid sequence is a systematic representation of the linear chain of amino acids connected via amide bonds that produce a polypeptide. An example of enzyme nomenclature using these identification elements would be neopullulanase ( Enzyme Commission <IP_ADDRESS>), produced by Bacillus stearothermophilus, treated with acetic acid, with amino acid sequence:

B. Issues for Public Comment EPA is soliciting comments on all aspects of the discussion presented in this document regarding nomenclature issues for enzymes and proteins, for purposes of listing these chemical substances on the TSCA Inventory. EPA is particularly interested in receiving comments on the following topics. EPA has identified four elements ( listed in Unit III. A.), that it currently believes are appropriate to derive unique nomenclature for the purpose of unambiguously listing proteinaceous enzymes on the TSCA Inventory. EPA is seeking comments on the scientific appropriateness of using these identification elements, the level of detail necessary to create specific, unambiguous TSCA Inventory listings, the technical feasibility of providing such information, and any additional or alternative elements that could be used to identify proteinaceous enzymes on the TSCA Inventory. Are the identification elements proposed for proteinaceous enzymes scientifically appropriate and sufficiently comprehensive for non proteinaceous enzymes and non enzymatic proteins? Are there additional or alternative identification elements that should be used in creating TSCA Inventory listings for non proteinaceous enzymes and non enzymatic proteins? If so, what are these alternatives, and why is it believed that these alternatives are preferable.

IV. Do Any Statutory or Executive Order Reviews Apply to this Action? Under Executive Order 12866, entitled Regulatory Planning and Review ( 58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), it has been determined that this ANPRM is a `` significant regulatory action'' under section 3( f) of the Executive order. The Agency therefore submitted this document to OMB for the 10 day review period afforded under this Executive order. Any changes made in response to OMB comments during that review have been documented in the docket as required by the Executive order. Since this ANPRM does not impose or propose any requirements, and instead seeks comments and suggestions for the Agency to consider in developing a subsequent notice of proposed rulemaking, the various *** EO 12866 Review Draft of 07/ 02/ 2004 ***

Page 10 of 10 other review requirements that apply when an agency imposes requirements do not apply to this action. As part of your comments on this ANPRM you may include any comments or information that you have regarding these requirements. In particular, any comments or information that would help the Agency to assess the potential impact of a rule on small entities pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act ( RFA) ( 5 U. S. C. 601 et seq.); to consider voluntary consensus standards pursuant to section 12( d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 ( NTTAA), Public Law 104   113, section 12( d) ( 15 U. S. C. 272 note); or to consider environmental health or safety effects on children pursuant to Executive Order 13045, entitled Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks ( 62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). The Agency will consider such comments during the development of any subsequent notice of proposed rulemaking as it takes appropriate steps to address any applicable requirements.

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 area navigation routes
in the NAS, increase airspace capacity, and reduce complexity in high
air traffic volume areas.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments as they
may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
    Communications should identify both docket numbers (FAA Docket No.
FAA-2018-0437; Airspace Docket No. 18-ASO-5) and be submitted in
triplicate to the Docket Management Facility (see ADDRESSES section for
address and phone number). You may also submit comments through the
internet at http://www.regulations.gov.
    Commenters wishing the FAA to acknowledge receipt of their comments
on this action must submit with those comments a self-addressed,
stamped postcard on which the following statement is made: ``Comments
to FAA Docket No. FAA-2018-0437; Airspace Docket No. 18-ASO-5.'' The
postcard will be date/time stamped and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received on or before the specified comment
closing date will be considered before taking action on the proposed
rule. The proposal contained in this action may be changed in light of

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11B, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017, and effective
September 15, 2017. FAA Order 7400.11B is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this proposed rule. FAA Order 7400.11B
lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service
routes, and reporting points.

Background

    The Florida Metroplex Project developed Performance Based
Navigation (PBN) routes involving Jacksonville Air Route Traffic
Control Center (ARTCC), Miami ARTCC, and San Juan Center Radar Approach

Control (CERAP). The proposed new and amended Q-routes would support
the strategy to transition the NAS from a ground-based navigation and
radar-based system to a satellite-based PBN system. Additionally, the
routes would connect to Caribbean Air Traffic Service routes to provide
efficient direct routings to and from Caribbean locations.
    Taking advantage of the capabilities of the advanced flight
management systems in modern aircraft, these Q-routes would serve to
reduce air traffic control (ATC) sector complexity, increase NAS
capacity, reduce pilot-to-air traffic controller communications, and
allow aircraft to be cleared to their cruising altitude and flight
planned route more expeditiously.

Comment Period

    This NPRM includes a 30-day public comment period instead of the
45-day period generally provided for area navigation route proposals.
The proposed Q-routes would support the FAA's Next Generation Air
Transportation System (NextGen) efforts to modernize the NAS. The
routes would be a critical part of that effort to improve NAS
efficiency by increasing airspace capacity and reducing complexity in
high air traffic volume areas. The 30-day comment period would provide
the opportunity for public input on the proposal as well as an option
for FAA to consider the possibility of synchronizing the implementation
of the routes with other scheduled NextGen programs and equipment
upgrades.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish 16 new Q-routes, and amend 7
existing Q-routes, in the southeastern United States in support of the
Florida Metroplex Project. The proposed new routes would be designated
Q-75, Q-77, Q-79, Q-81, Q-83, Q-85, Q-87, Q-89, Q-93, Q-97, Q-99, Q-
109, Q-113, Q-135, Q-172, and Q-409. In addition, amendments are
proposed to the descriptions of Q-65, Q-69, Q-103, Q-104, Q-110, Q-116,
and Q-118. The proposed new and amended route end points are listed
below. Full route descriptions are in ``The Proposed Amendment''

    The proposed new Q-routes are as follows:
    Q-75: Q-75 would extend between the ENEME, GA, WP (in southeast GA)
and the Greensboro, NC, VORTAC.
    Q-77: Q-77 would extend between the OCTAL, FL, WP (on the southeast
FL coast) and the WIGVO, GA, WP (near Union, GA).
    Q-79: Q-79 would extend between the MCLAW, FL, WP (near the Florida
Keys) and the Atlanta, GA, VORTAC. This would provide linkage to routes
going to the Caribbean area.

    Q-109: Q-109 would extend between the DOFFY, FL, WP (in northern
Florida) and the LAANA, NC, WP (in southern NC).
    Q-113: Q-113 would extend between the RAYVO, SC, WP (in east
central SC) and the SARKY, SC, WP (near the SC-NC line).
    Q-135: Q-135 would extend between the JROSS, SC, WP (north of
Beaufort, SC) and the RAPZZ, NC, WP (in southern NC).
    Q-172: Q-172 would extend between the YUTEE, SC, WP (in western SC)
and the RAPZZ, NC, WP (in southern NC).
    Q-409: Q-409 would extend between the ENEME, GA, WP (in southeast
GA) and the MRPIT, NC, WP (in southern NC).
    The proposed amended Q-routes are as follows:
    Q-65: Q-65 currently extends between the JEFOI, GA, WP and the
Rosewood, OH, VORTAC. The route would be extended to approximately 200
nautical miles (NM) south of the JEFOI, GA, WP to the KPASA, FL, WP.
The KPASA, FL; DOFFY, FL; FETAL, FL; and ENEME, GA, WPs would be added
prior to the JEFOI, GA, WP. The TRASY, GA, WP would be added between
the JEFOI, GA, and the CESKI, GA, WPs.
    Q-69: Q-69 currently extends between the BLAAN, SC, WP and the
RICCS, WV, WP. The route would be extended approximately 210 NM to the
south of the BLAAN, SC, WP to the VIYAP, GA, Fix (located near
Brunswick, GA). The extended route segments would consist the of VIYAP,
GA, fix; OLBEC, GA, WP; ISUZO, GA, WP; and the GURGE, SC, WP. The
EMCET, SC, WP would be inserted between the BLAAN, SC, WP and the
RYCKI, NC, WP.
    Q-103: Q-103 currently extends between the Pulaski, VA, VORTAC and
the AIRRA, PA, WP. The route would be extended to the south of the
Pulaski, VA, VORTAC to the CYNTA, GA, WP (in southeastern GA). The
extended segments would consist of the CYNTA, GA, WP; PUPYY, GA, WP;
RIELE, SC, WP; EMCET, SC, WP; and the SLOJO, SC, WP.
    Q-104: Q-104 currently extends between the DEFUN, FL, fix, and the
Cypress, FL, VOR/DME. The route would be amended by removing the DEFUN,
FL, fix; and the Cypress, FL, VOR/DME from the route. The ACORI, AL,
WP, and the CABLO, GA, WP, would be added prior to the HEVVN, FL, fix.
The ENDEW, FL, WP would be added between the SWABE, FL, fix and the St.
Petersburg, FL, VORTAC.
    Q-110: Q-110 currently extends between the BLANS, IL, WP, and the
THNDR, FL, Fix. The amended route would be the same as currently
charted between the BLANS, IL, WP and the JYROD, AL, WP. Beyond that
point, the route would be realigned to terminate at the new OCTAL, FL,
WP (on the southeast FL coast). The FEONA, GA; GULFR, FL; BRUTS, FL;
KPASA, FL; RVERO, FL; WPs, and the THNDR, FL, fix, would be removed.
The DAWWN, GA; JOKKY, FL; AMORY, FL; SMELZ, FL; and SHEEK, FL waypoints
would be inserted between the JYROD, AL, WP and the JAYMC, FL, WP.
After JAYMC, the route would proceed to the OCTAL, FL, WP.
    Q-116: Q-116 currently extends between the KPASA, FL, WP, and the
CEEYA, GA, WP. The current KPASA, FL; BRUTS, FL; GULFR, FL; and CEEYA,
GA, waypoints would be removed. The route would be expanded and
realigned to extend between the Vulcan, AL, VORTAC and the OCTAL, FL,
WP (on the southeast FL coast). The following waypoints would be added
between the Vulcan, AL, VORTAC and the OCTAL, FL, WP: DEEDA, GA; JAWJA,
FL; MICES, FL; PATOY, FL;

SMELZ, FL; SHEEK, FL; and JAYMC, FL.
    Q-118: Q-118 currently extends between the Marion, IN, VOR/DME and
the KPASA, FL, WP. The amended route would add the Atlanta, GA, VORTAC
between the KAILL, GA, WP and the JOHNN, GA, WP; add the JAMIZ, FL, WP
between the JOHNN, GA, and BRUTS, FL, WPs; and add the JINOS, FL, WP
between the BRUTS, FL, and the KPASA, FL, WPs. Additionally, the route
be extended to the south of the KPASA, FL, WP to the PEAKY, FL, WP
(near Marathon in the Florida Keys). The SHEEK, FL, WP; CHRRI, FL, fix;
FEMID, FL, WP and BRIES, FL, WP would be added between the KPASA, FL WP
and the PEAKY, FL WP. Q-118 would provide linkage to routes from the
Caribbean area.
    Note: In the regulatory text, below, some route descriptions
include waypoints located over international waters. In those route
descriptions, in place of a two-letter state abbreviation, either
``OA,'' meaning ``Offshore Atlantic,'' or ``OG,'' meaning ``Offshore
Gulf of Mexico,'' is used.
    RNAV routes are published in paragraph 2006 of FAA Order 7400.11B
dated August 3, 2017, and effective September 15, 2017, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The RNAV routes listed in
this document would be subsequently published in the Order.

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.
