SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The U.S. Navy requested a minor 

change to the name of the using agency 

for restricted areas R–4002, R–4005, 

R–4006 and R–4007 in Maryland, in 

order to reflect the correct organization 

responsible for operation of the areas 

and to standardize the using agency 

listing in the area legal descriptions. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 73 by 

changing the using agency name from 

‘‘Commanding Officer, Naval 

Amphibious School Little Creek, 

Norfolk, VA,’’ To ‘‘U.S. Navy, 

Commanding Officer, NAS Patuxent 

River, MD’’ for restricted area R–4002, 

Bloodsworth Island, MD; and restricted 

areas R–4005, R–4006 and R–4007, 

Naval Air Station Patuxent River, MD, 

from ‘‘Commanding Officer, NAS 

Patuxent River, MD,’’ to ‘‘U.S. Navy, 

Commanding Officer, NAS Patuxent 

River, MD.’’ This is an administrative 

change and does not affect the 

boundaries, designated altitudes, or 

activities conducted within the 

restricted area; therefore, 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 311d., 

FAA Order 1050.1E, Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures. This 

airspace action is an administrative 

change to the descriptions of the 

affected restricted areas to update the 

using agency name. It does not alter the 

dimensions, altitudes, or times of 

designation of the 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.
