30034 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 124 / Wednesday, June 27, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 

an on-call basis only. Therefore, the 

airspace will be activated by a Notice to 

Airman (NOTAM), four hours in 

advance as opposed to active 

continuously Monday through Saturday 

from 0800 to 2400. Additionally, the 

controlling agency has changed from 

Albuquerque Air Traffic Control Center 

(ARTCC) to Phoenix Terminal Radar 

Approach Control (TRACON) due to a 

recent alignment of assigned airspace 

thus making the restricted area fall 

completely within Phoenix TRACONs 

assigned airspace. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 73 by 

revising the time of designation and 

controlling agency listed for restricted 

area R–2302, Flagstaff, AZ. The time of 

designation is changed from ‘‘active 

daily, 0800–2400 MST, Monday through 

Saturday;’’ to ‘‘intermittent by NOTAM 

only, 4 hours in advance, between 0800 

to 2400 MST, Monday through 

Saturday’’. Additionally, the controlling 

agency for R–2302 is changed from 

‘‘Albuquerque ARTCC’’ to ‘‘Phoenix 

TRACON’’. These are administrative 

changes and do 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. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

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. It, therefore: (1) Is not a 

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under 

Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a 

‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of 

Transportation (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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does 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 of updating the time of 

designation and controlling agency for 

restricted area R–2302; Flagstaff, AZ, 

qualifies for categorical exclusion under 

the National Environmental Policy Act, 

and in accordance with FAA Order 

1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: 

Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5– 

6.5.d, ‘‘Modification of the technical 

description of special use airspace 

(SUA) that does not alter the 

dimensions, altitudes, or times of 

designation of the airspace (such as 

changes in designation of the 

controlling or using agency, or 

correction of typographical errors).’’ 

This airspace action is an administrative 

change to the description of restricted 

area R–2302; Flagstaff, AZ, to update the 

time of designation and controlling 

agency name. It does not alter the 

dimensions, altitudes, time of 

designation, or use of the airspace. 

Therefore, this airspace action is not 

expected to result in any significant 

environmental impacts. In accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5– 

2 regarding Extraordinary 

Circumstances, this action has been 

reviewed for factors and circumstances 

in which a normally categorically 

excluded action may have a significant 

environmental impact requiring further 

analysis, and it is determined that no 

extraordinary circumstances exist that 

warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.

Revocation of Restricted Area R–2530, 

Sierra Army Depot, CA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action removes restricted 

area R–2530 Sierra Army Depot, CA. 

This restricted area was originally 

established in 1963 for the purpose of 

neutralization of ammunition through a 

process known as burning. The United 

States Army has advised there are no 

future plans for this restricted area and 

has concurred with the FAA’s plan for 

removal. Therefore, the FAA has 

determined that a valid requirement for 

the airspace no longer exists. 

DATES: Effective date: July 27, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

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 returns 

restricted area R–2530 Sierra Army 

Depot, CA, as it is no longer needed for 

its designated purpose within the 

National Airspace System (NAS).

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 124 / Wednesday, June 27, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 30035 

The Rule 

This action amends 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) part 73 by 

removing Restricted area R–2530 Sierra 

Army Depot, CA. The United States 

Army no longer has a use for the 

restricted area, which was originally 

established for neutralization of 

ammunition through a process known 

as burning. The process was considered 

a hazard to aircraft since an 

uncontrolled explosion may have 

occurred at any time during the burning 

operation. The FAA has determined that 

a valid requirement for the airspace no 

longer exists and the restricted area is 

being returned to the NAS. 

Since this action reduces restricted 

airspace, the solicitation of comments 

would only delay the return of airspace 

to public use without offering any 

meaningful right or benefit to any 

segment of the public; therefore, notice 

and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b) are unnecessary. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

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. It, therefore: (1) Is not a 

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under 

Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a 

‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of 

Transportation (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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does 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 of revoking of R–2530 Sierra 

Army Depot, CA, qualifies for 

categorical exclusion under the National 

Environmental Policy Act in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures, paragraph 5–6.5.c, ‘‘Actions 

to return all or part of special use 

airspace (SUA) to the National Airspace 

System (NAS), such as revocation of 

airspace, a decrease in dimensions, or a 

reduction in times of use (e.g., from 

continuous to intermittent, or use by a 

Notice to Airmen (NOTAM)).’’ This 

action returns restricted airspace to the 

NAS. Therefore, this airspace action is 

not expected to result in any significant 

environmental impacts. In accordance 

with FAAO 1050.1F, paragraph 5–2 

regarding Extraordinary Circumstances, 

this action has been reviewed for factors 

and circumstances in which a normally 

categorically excluded action may have 

a significant environmental impact 

requiring further analysis, and it is 

determined that no extraordinary 

circumstances exist that warrant 

preparation of an environmental 

assessment.
