The United States Marine Corps USMC in Yuma, AZ has requested additional airspace higher altitude above the existing Bristol Military Operations Area MOA northeast of Twentynine Palms, CA. The airspace in the Bristol MOA has a ceiling to but not including 18,000 feet MSL, however the USMC has determined that to be inadequate to support Marine Expeditionary Brigade sized training events. A recent agreement between the USMC in Yuma, AZ, and ZLA provides two ATCAAs above the current Bristol MOAs to support the need for higher altitudes. Creating this additional airspace, however, conflicts with traffic on RNAV route Q73. A slight modification of Q73 will be required to provide safe passage of nonparticipating aircraft transitioning this area.
The Proposal The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to amend United States Area Navigation RNAV route Q
73 due to the creation of SAA, Bristol ATCAA in the vicinity of Twentynine Palms, CA. The proposal would add two additional waypoints between LVELL
and HAKMN in order to provide an adequate buffer between military activities in that area. The full legal description is provided in the Rule area below.
Q73: Q73 currently extends from the MOMAR, CA, waypoint WP to the CORDU, ID, WP. The FAA proposes to add two additional WPs. The first WP
would be BLKWL between LVELL and ZELMA and the other KRLIE, WP, between ZELMA and HAKMN. These proposed WP would provide safe segregation of air traffic along Q73
from military activity operating within the adjacent SAA. The rest of the route would remain unchanged.
United States Area Navigation Routes are published in paragraph 2006 of FAA
Order 7400.11E dated July 21, 2020 and effective September 15, 2020, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The RNAV route listed in this document would be published subsequently in the Order.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is published yearly and effective on September 15.
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
