(R-2932, R-2933, R-2934, and R-2935), Cape Canaveral Air Force Station

Center/RRS, Cape Canaveral AFS, FL,'' to ``Commander, 1st Range 
Operations Squadron, Cape Canaveral AFS, FL.'' This action is being 
taken to reflect the current organizational structure at Cape Canaveral

designation, or use of the restricted areas.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Background

    On February 25, 2004, the airspace manager for the 45th Space Wing, 
Cape Canaveral AFS, FL, requested a change to the using agency 
information for R-2932, R-2933, R-2934, and R-2935 to reflect the 
current organizational structure. This action responds to this request.

The Rule

    The FAA is amending Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 73 (part 73) by modifying R-2932, R-2933, R-2934, and R-2935, Cape 
Canaveral AFS, FL. Specifically, this action changes the using agency 
name from ``U.S. Air Force, Eastern Space and Missile Center/RRS, Cape 
Canaveral AFS, FL,'' to ``Commander, 1st Range Operations Squadron, 
Cape Canaveral AFS, FL.'' This action is an administrative change to 
reflect the current organization name of the using agency. This action 
does not alter the boundaries, altitudes, time of designation, or 
activities conducted within the restricted areas. Therefore, 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 7400.8L, dated October 7, 2003.
    This regulation is limited to 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. It 
has been determined that 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

    This action is a minor administrative change to update the using 
agency name

[[Page 68076]]

for existing restricted areas. There are no changes to air traffic 
procedures or routes as a result of this action. Therefore, the FAA 
determined that this action qualifies for a categorical exclusion from 
further environmental analysis under the National Environmental Policy 
Act in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: 
Policies and Procedures,'' paragraph 311d.
