Summary
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has corrected the effective date for the establishment of RNAV Route Q-151 and the revocation of Jet Route J-517. The correction amends the previously published final rule, changing the effective date to February 24, 2026.
What changed
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a correction to a final rule concerning the establishment of United States Area Navigation (RNAV) Route Q-151 and the revocation of Jet Route J-517. This correction specifically amends the effective date of the rule, which was originally published on February 24, 2026. The corrected effective date is now also February 24, 2026, indicating a clarification rather than a change in the implementation timeline.
This document is a correction notice and does not introduce new obligations or alter the substance of the original rule. Regulated entities, primarily transportation companies and pilots operating within the affected airspace, should note the corrected effective date to ensure compliance with the updated route designations. No new actions are required beyond adhering to the established route specifications by the effective date.

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:
- 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.

Manager, Rules and Regulations Group.
