SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Rule
This amendment to part 73 of the Federal Aviation Regulations
changes the using agency for Restricted Areas R-2309, Yuma, AZ, and R-
2312, Fort Huachuca, AZ, from ``Southwest Air Defense Sector/DOS, March
AFB, CA'' to ``Western Air Defense Sector/DOS, McChord AFB, WA.'' This
is an administrative change initiated by the U.S. Air Force to reflect
its reorganization. There are no changes to the boundaries, designated
altitudes, times of designation, or activities conducted within the
affected restricted areas. Because this action is a minor technical
amendment in which the public is not particularly interested, I find
that notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.
Section 73.23 of part 73 of the Federal Aviation Regulations was
republished in FAA Order 7400.8B dated March 9, 1994.
The FAA has determined that this 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 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 rule 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 action changes the using agency of the restricted areas. There
are no changes to the boundaries, designated altitudes, times of
designation, or activities conducted within the affected restricted
areas. Accordingly, this action is not subject to environmental
assessments and procedures as set forth in FAA Order 1050.1D,
``Policies and Procedures for Considering Environmental Impacts.''
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 73
