of the using agencies for Restricted 

Areas R–5115 in New Mexico and R– 

6316, R–6317, and R–6318 in Texas at 

the request of the Department of the Air 

Force. This is an administrative change 

only and does not affect the boundaries;

designation; or activities conducted 

within the affected restricted areas. 

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

As a result of the realignment of 

organizational responsibilities between 

federal agencies, U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection has been assigned the 

function of using agency for restricted 

areas R–5115 in New Mexico; and R– 

6316, R–6317, and R–6318 in Texas. 

The transfer of using agency operational 

control occurs October 1, 2013. This 

action is an administrative name change 

only and does not affect the current 

dimensions 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–5115 Deming, NM; 

R–6316 Eagle Pass, TX; R–6317 El Sauz, 

TX; and R–6318 Marfa, TX. The using 

agency for R–5115, R–6316, R–6317, 

and R–6318 is changed from ‘‘Western 

Air Defense Sector’’ to ‘‘U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection, Air and Marine 

Operations Center (AMOC), Riverside, 

CA.’’ 

This is an administrative change to 

update the title of the using agencies. It 

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) 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 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. 

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 amends the descriptions of restricted 

areas R–5115, R–6316, R–6317, and R– 

6318 to reflect current organizational 

responsibilities. 

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 

311d. 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.

Restricted Area R–2515 Muroc Lake, 

CA, from ‘‘Commander Air Force Flight 

Test Center, Edwards AFB, CA’’ to
