-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action updates the name of the controlling agency for 
Restricted Area R-6601, Fort A.P. Hill, VA. The FAA is taking this 
action to reflect the correct facility name. This is an administrative

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul Gallant, Airspace and Rules,

telephone: (202) 267-8783.

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.
