14 CFR Part 73
[Airspace Docket No. 94-AGL-26]
Revocation of Restricted Areas R-5503 A and B; Wilmington, OH
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action removes Restricted Areas R-5503A and B,
Wilmington, OH. As a result of the base closure and realignment
process, the 4950th Test Wing at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (AFB),
OH, is relocating to Edwards AFB, CA. The need for special use airspace
at this location no longer exists.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, February 2, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Kadechka, Military Operations
Program Office (ATM-420), Office of Air Traffic System Management,
Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW.,
Washington, DC 20591; telephone: (202) 267-7683.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Rule
This amendment to part 73 of the Federal Aviation Regulations
removes Restricted Areas R-5503A and B, Wilmington, OH. As a result of
the base closure and realignment process, the 4950th Test Wing at
Wright-Patterson AFB, OH, is relocating to Edwards AFB, CA. Because of
this move, there is no longer a requirement for this special use
airspace. 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 73.55
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 removes special use airspace. This action is not
subject to environmental assessments and procedures in accordance with
FAA Order 1050.1D, ``Policies and Procedures for Considering
Environmental Impacts'' and the National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (NEPA).
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 73
Airspace, Navigation (air).
