Supplementary Information
History The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register (91 FR 8729; February 24, 2026) establishing United States Area Navigation (RNAV) Route Q-151 and revoking Jet Route J-517 in the northern United States due to the lack of navigational signal coverage, restricting usage of J-517. After the publication of that final rule, the FAA discovered that the effective date in the rule was incorrect. The effective date listed in the final rule was listed as May 19, 2026, and should have been listed as May 14, 2026. This rule corrects this error. Correction to the Final Rule Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the effective date of the final rule for Docket No. FAA-2025-2023 as published in the Federal Register on February 24, 2026 (91 FR 8729), FR Doc. 2026-03649, is corrected as follows: 0
1. On page 8729, in the second column, in the section titled 'DATES',
delete the text ``Effective date 0901 UTC, May 19, 2026.'' and replace it with ``Effective date 0901 UTC, May 14, 2026.'' Issued in Washington, DC, on February 25, 2026. Alex W. Nelson, Manager, Rules and Regulations Group. [FR Doc. 2026-04028 Filed 2-27-26; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910-13-P
