-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Division, ATA-400, Office of Air Traffic Airspace Management, Federal
Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Restricted Areas R-2905A and R-2905B lie within the confines of
airspace delegated to Tyndall Radar Approach Control. It is necessary
to change the designated controlling agency to reflect current airspace
areas of responsibility.
The Amendment
This amendment to part 73 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 73) changes the designated controlling agency for R-2905A and
R-2905B, Tyndall AFB, FL, from ``FAA, Jacksonville ARTCC'' to ``Tyndall
Radar Approach Control.''
Since this action simply changes the published controlling agency,
the FAA finds that notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)
are unnecessary because this action is a minor technical amendment in
which the public would not be particularly interested. Section 73.29 of
part 73 of the Federal Aviation Regulations was republished in FAA
Order 7400.8D dated July 11, 1996.
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.
Therefore, this regulation: (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 is a minor administrative change amending the published
controlling agency for Restricted Areas R-2905A and R-2905B. There are
no changes to air traffic control procedures or routes as a result of
this action. Also, there are no changes to the dimensions of type of
activity conducted in these areas as a result of this action.
Therefore, this action is not subject to environmental assessments and
procedures under FAA Order 1050.1D, ``Policies and Procedures for
Considering Environmental Impacts,''
[[Page 4141]]
and the National Environmental Policy Act.
