SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register (88 FR
82252; November 24, 2023), amending and establishing multiple RNAV T-
routes in support of the FAA's VOR MON Program. Subsequent to
publication, the FAA determined that for RNAV route T-358, the SWANN,
MD; AVALO, NJ; MANTA, NJ; BURDY, MA; LBSTA, MA; and MESHL, ME, route
points were inadvertently identified as WPs, in error. This rule
corrects those errors by changing all references to these six points as
Fixes. These are editorial changes only to match the FAA's aeronautical
database information.
Additionally, the FAA determined that it inadvertently omitted the
BEADS, NY, Fix, and the JORDN, NY, Fix, from the part 71 description of
RNAV route T-358. The BEADS Fix and the JORDN Fix were part of RNAV
route T-358 but were incorrectly calculated to be a turn of less than
one degree so they were not originally included in the part 71
description. Subsequent to publication, the FAA determined that the
route segment between the MANTA, NJ, Fix and the BEADS Fix was a turn
of two degrees; and the route segment between the ORCHA, NY, WP and the
JORDN Fix was a turn of one degree, which require that the BEADS and
the JORDN Fixes be added to the part 71 description. Adding the BEADS
Fix and the JORDN Fix to RNAV route T-358 does not substantially alter
the route.
In describing the changes to RNAV route T-445, the location of the
Westminster, VORTAC was identified in error as ``ME'' and is corrected
from ``Westminster, ME (EMI), VORTAC'' to ``Westminster, MD, (EMI),
VORTAC''.

and the

BURDY, MA, Fix; and between the LBSTA, MA, Fix''.
3. On page 82253, in the first column, under the heading ``The
