14 CFR Part 73
[Airspace Docket No. 96-ASO-8]
Change in Using Agency for Restricted Area R-2905A and R-2905B,
Tyndall AFB, FL
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action changes the using agency for Restricted Area 2905A
(R-2905A) and R-2905B, Tyndall Air Force Base (AFB), FL, from ``Air
Defense Weapons Center, Tyndall AFB, FL'' to ``325 Fighter Wing (FW),
Tyndall AFB, FL.''

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul Gallant, Airspace and Rules
Division, ATA-400, Office of Air Traffic Airspace Management, Federal
Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC
20591; telephone: (202) 267-8783.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Rule
This amendment to 14 CFR part 73 changes the using agency for R-
2905A and R-2905B, Tyndall AFB, FL, from ``Air Defense Weapons Center,
Tyndall AFB, FL'' to ``325 FW, Tyndall AFB, FL.'' This is an
administrative change to reflect a reorganization of responsibilities
within the United States Air Force. 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 would not be
particularly interested, I find that notice and public procedure under
5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. Section 73.29 of part 73 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations was republished in FAA Order 7400.8C dated
June 29, 1995.
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 affected restricted
areas. There are no changes to the boundaries, designated altitudes,
times of designation, or activities conducted within these restricted
areas. Further, this action will not require any changes to existing
air traffic procedures. 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
