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 amending VOR Federal Airway 

V–9 in the eastern United States, 

qualifies for categorical exclusion under 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

(42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and its 

implementing regulations at 40 CFR part 

1500, and in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 5–6.5a, which categorically 

excludes from further environmental 

impact review rulemaking actions that 

designate or modify classes of airspace 

areas, airways, routes, and reporting 

points (see 14 CFR part 71, Designation 

of Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace 

Areas; Air Traffic Service Routes; and 

Reporting Points); and paragraph 5– 

6.5b, which categorically excludes from 

further environmental impact review 

‘‘Actions regarding establishment of jet 

routes and Federal airways (see 14 CFR 

71.15, Designation of jet routes and VOR 

Federal airways). . .’’. As such, this 

airspace action is not expected to cause 

any potentially significant 

environmental impacts. In accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5– 

2 regarding Extraordinary 

Circumstances, the FAA has reviewed 

this action for factors and circumstances 

in which a normally categorically 

excluded action may have a significant 

environmental impact requiring further 

analysis. Accordingly, the FAA has 

determined that no extraordinary 

circumstances exist that warrant 

preparation of an environmental 

assessment or environmental impact 

study.

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 updates the 

using agency listed for restricted areas 

R–2510A and R–2510B in the vicinity of 

El Centro, CA. 

Background 

The U.S. Department of the Navy 

requested that the Federal Aviation 

Administration amend the descriptions 

of restricted areas R–2510A and R– 

2510B by changing the using agency 

listed for each from ‘‘Commanding 

Officer, U.S. Navy Fleet Area Control 

and Surveillance Facility, San Diego, 

CA’’ to ‘‘U.S. Marine Corps, 

Commanding Officer, Marine Corps Air 

Station Yuma, Yuma, AZ’’. The request 

is the result of a realignment of air 

traffic control responsibilities for the 

area. 

The Rule 

This action amends 14 CFR part 73 by 

amending the using agency listed for 

restricted areas R–2510A and R–2510B 

from ‘‘Commanding Officer, U.S. Navy 

Fleet Area Control and Surveillance 

Facility, San Diego, CA’’ to ‘‘U.S. 

Marine Corps, Commanding Officer, 

Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Yuma, 

AZ’’. This action is necessary in order 

to reflect the current organization tasked 

with using agency responsibilities for 

the restricted areas. 

This is an administrative change that 

does not affect the boundaries, 

designated altitudes, times of 

designation, or activities conducted 

within restricted areas R–2510A and R– 

2510B; therefore, notice and public 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 42 / Friday, March 1, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 15017 

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 amending the using agency 

information for restricted areas R– 

2510A and R–2510B, qualifies for 

categorical exclusion under the National 

Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 

4321 et seq.) and its implementing 

regulations at 40 CFR part 1500, and in 

accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures,’’ paragraph 5–6.5a, which 

categorically excludes from further 

environmental impact review 

rulemaking actions that designate or 

modify classes of airspace areas, 

airways, routes, and reporting points 

(see 14 CFR part 71, Designation of 

Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas; 

Air Traffic Service Routes; and 

Reporting Points), and paragraph 5– 

6.5d, which categorically excludes from 

further environmental impact review 

the 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 

areas R–2510A and R–2510B to update 

the using agency name. It does not alter 

the restricted area dimensions, 

designated altitudes, times 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. Accordingly, the FAA has 

determined that no extraordinary 

circumstances exist that warrant 

preparation of an environmental 

assessment or environmental impact 

study.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

A. Advance Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking 

On December 23, 2021, the Federal 

Trade Commission (‘‘Commission’’ or 

‘‘FTC’’) published an advance notice of 

proposed rulemaking (‘‘ANPR’’) to 

address certain deceptive or unfair acts 

or practices of impersonation.1 As part 

of the ANPR, the Commission requested 

comment on any issues or concerns 

relevant or appropriate to this 

rulemaking to combat impersonation of 

governments, businesses, or their 

agents, and whether and how to proceed 

with a notice of proposed rulemaking 

(‘‘NPRM’’).2 The Commission took 

comments for 60 days, and received 164 

comments from representatives from a 

broad spectrum of businesses, trade 

associations, government or lawenforcement organizations, and 

individual consumers, which are 

publicly available on this rulemaking’s 

docket at https://www.regulations.gov/ 

docket/FTC-2021-0077/comments. 

Commenters generally expressed 

support for the Commission’s 

proceeding with the rulemaking. They 

also voiced deep concerns about the 

prevalence and harmfulness of both 

government and business 

impersonation. No commenter 

expressed the view that the Commission 

should not commence the rulemaking. 

Commenters also offered suggestions for 

the Commission’s consideration in 

drafting the proposed rule and other 

recommendations in furtherance of the 

proposed rulemaking. 

B. Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

Based on an extensive review of the 

comments received in response to the 

ANPR, the Commission’s own history of 

enforcement, and other considerations 

that occurred after the ANPR’s 

publication,3 the Commission published 

the NPRM on October 17, 2022.4 In the
