SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Rule
This amendment to part 73 of the Federal Aviation Regulations
removes Restricted Area R-3403C, Jefferson
[[Page 43709]]
Proving Ground, IN. As a result of the annual restricted area review,
the Department of the Army has determined there is no longer an
appropriate mission for R-3403C. This area is completed contained
within the lateral and vertical boundaries of R-3403A. This action
returns use of this airspace for civil aviation activities when R-3403A
is inactive. Additionally, this action amends the legal description of
R-3403A by removing reference to R-3403C. I find 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 is not particularly
interested. Section 73.34 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
