RIN 2120–AA66 

Amendment of Restricted Area R– 

2917, De Funiak Springs, FL 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies 

restricted area R–2917 by reducing the 

lateral and vertical dimensions of the 

area. The U.S. Air Force has determined 

that a smaller restricted area is needed 

to ensure that aircraft carrying certain 

electro-explosive devices remain a safe 

distance from an FPS–85 radar site. 

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, May 31, 

2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 2, 1996, the FAA 

published a final rule in the Federal 

Register to expand the lateral and 

vertical dimensions of restricted area R– 

2917, De Funiak Springs, FL, which 

surrounds an FPS–85 radar system 

located at that site (61 FR 0004). The 

expanded restricted area consisted of a 

2.5 nautical mile radius, from the 

surface up to, but not including, Flight 

Level (FL) 230. The purpose of R–2917 

is to provide protected airspace around 

the radar site because the radio 

frequency (RF) energy emitted by the 

radar has the potential to activate 

electro-explosive devices (EED) carried 

on board certain aircraft. It should be 

noted that R–2917 is located within the 

confines of a much larger restricted area, 

R–2914A, which extends from the 

surface to unlimited altitude. 

A recent revision to Air Force 

explosive safety standards guidance 

revised the formula for computing the 

hazards to EED from FPS–85 RF 

radiation. As a result, a smaller safe 

separation distance is required for 

aircraft carrying EED. This allows the 

size of R–2917 to be reduced to a onenautical mile radius up to 5,000 feet 

MSL. The smaller restricted area R–2917 

remains totally contained within 

existing restricted area R–2914A. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 73 to 

change the lateral and vertical 

dimensions of R–2917, De Funiak 

Springs, FL, from the current 2.5- 

nautical mile radius circle, extending 

from the surface to, but not including FL 

230, to a one-nautical mile radius circle, 

extending from the surface to 5,000 feet 

MSL. 

Because this amendment reduces the 

size of restricted airspace within the 

confines of a larger existing restricted 

area and does not increase the burden 

on the public, notice and public 

procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are 

unnecessary. 

The FAA has determined that this 

action 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, 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 311c., 

FAA Order 1050.1E, Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures. This 

action reduces the vertical and lateral 

dimensions of special use airspace; 

therefore, it is not expected to cause any 

potentially significant environmental 

impacts, and no extraordinary 

circumstances exists that warrant 

preparation of an environmental 

assessment.

New Animal Drugs for Use in Animal 

Feeds; Tiamulin 

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, 

HHS. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug 

Administration (FDA) is amending the 

animal drug regulations to reflect the 

withdrawal of approval of those parts of 

a new animal drug application (NADA) 

for a tiamulin Type A medicated article 

that pertain to the production 

indications for use of increased rate of 

weight gain and improved feed 

efficiency in swine. 

DATES: This rule is effective April 17, 

2012.
