SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 73 by changing the name of the controlling agency for Restricted Area R-6601, Fort A.P. Hill, VA, from "FAA, Potomac Approach," to "FAA, Potomac TRACON." This change is administrative only and does not affect the boundaries, designated altitudes, or activities conducted within the restricted areas. Therefore, notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) is unnecessary.
Section 73.66 of Title 14 CFR part 73 was republished in FAA Order 7400.8N, dated February 16, 2007.
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 Department of Transportation 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, when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance with 311d., FAA Order 1050.1E, "Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures." This airspace action is not expected to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment.
