17084 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 54 / Wednesday, March 20, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in that Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

modifying Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface, 

at Scammon Bay Airport, Scammon 

Bay, AK. Additional controlled airspace 

is necessary to accommodate aircraft 

using the new RNAV (GPS) standard 

instrument approach procedures at 

Scammon Bay Airport and for the safety 

and management of IFR operations. 

The FAA has determined 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 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 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. The FAA’s 

authority to issue rules regarding 

aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the 

U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 

discusses the authority of the FAA 

Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation 

Programs, describes in more detail the 

scope of the agency’s authority. This 

rulemaking is promulgated under the 

authority described in Subtitle VII, Part 

A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it modifies 

controlled airspace at Scammon Bay 

Airport, Scammon Bay, AK. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 311a. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On December 21, 2012, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to establish controlled airspace at 

Wilbur, WA (77 FR 75597). Interested 

parties were invited to participate in 

this rulemaking effort by submitting 

written comments on the proposal to the 

FAA. No comments were received. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005, of FAA 

Order 7400.9W dated August 8, 2012, 

and effective September 15, 2012, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in that Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

establishing Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface, 

at Wilbur Airport, to accommodate IFR 

aircraft executing new RNAV (GPS) 

standard instrument approach 

procedures at the airport. Controlled 

airspace is established within a 4-mile 

radius of the airport with a 6-mile 

extension southwest from the 4-mile 

radius for the safe operation of IFR 

aircraft to/from the en route 

environment. 

The FAA has determined 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 DOT 

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44

Amendment of Multiple Restricted

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action changes the name 

of the using agency for Restricted Areas 

R–2914A and B; R–2915A, B and C; R– 

2918; and R–2919A and B, with the 

Eglin Range Complex, FL, to read ‘‘U.S. 

Air Force, Commander 96th Test Wing, 

Eglin AFB, FL. This is an administrative 

change only and does not affect the 

boundaries; designated altitudes; time of 

designation; or activities conducted 

within the affected restricted areas. 

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, May 2,

telephone: (202) 267–8783. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

As a result of reorganization at Eglin 

AFB, FL, the name of the using agency 

for multiple restricted areas within the 

Eglin Range Complex was changed from 

‘‘Armament Center’’ to ‘‘Test Wing.’’ 

This action is an administrative name 

change only and does not affect the 

current configuration or use of the 

restricted areas. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 73 by 

amending the using agency name for 

Restricted Areas R–2914A and B; R– 

2915A, B and C; R–2918; and R–2919A 

and B, Eglin AFB, FL, from ‘‘U.S. Air 

Force, Commander, Air Armament 

Center, Eglin AFB, FL,’’ to ‘‘U.S. Air 

Force, Commander 96th Test Wing, 

Eglin AFB, FL.’’ This is an 

administrative change to update the title 

of the using agency. It 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. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the 

authority of the FAA Administrator. 

Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, 

describes in more detail the scope of the 

agency’s authority. 

This rulemaking is promulgated 

under the authority described in 

Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 

40103. Under that section, the FAA is 

charged with prescribing regulations to 

assign the use of the airspace necessary 

to ensure the safety of aircraft and the 

efficient use of airspace. This regulation 

is within the scope of that authority as 

it makes an administrative change to the 

descriptions of Restricted Areas R– 

2914A and B; R–2915A, B and C; R– 

2918; and R–2919A and B, Eglin AFB, 

FL.
