Amendment to Class E Airspace;

Fairfield, IA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of

effective date.

SUMMARY: This document confirms the

effective date of a direct final rule which

revises Class E airspace at Fairfield, IA.

DATES: The direct final rule published at

65 FR 40991 is effective on 0901 UTC,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA

published this direct final rule with a

request for comments in the Federal

Register on July 3, 2000 (65 FR 40991).

The FAA uses the direct final

rulemaking procedure for a noncontroversial rule where the FAA

believes that there will be no adverse

public comment. This direct final rule

advised the public that no adverse

comments were anticipated, and that

unless a written adverse comment, or a

written notice of intent to submit such

an adverse comment, were received

within the comment period, the

regulation would become effective on

November 30, 2000. No adverse

comments were received, and thus this

notice confirms that this direct final rule

will become effective on that date.

Issued in Kansas City, MO on September

6, 2000.

RIN 2120–AA66

Subdivision of Restricted Areas R–

6412A and R–6412B, and

Establishment of R–6412C and R–

6412D, Camp Williams, UT

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action modifies

Restricted Area R–6412A and R–6412B,

Camp Williams, Utah, by subdividing

the two areas into four separate areas

designated as R–6412A, R–6412B, R–

6412C, and R–6412D. The dimensions

of R–6412 will remain the same,

however, the internal modification of

the present R–6412A and R–6412B and

subsequent establishment of R–6412C

and R–6412D will enable the military to

activate only that portion of the airspace

that is actually needed to contain their

operations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, January 25,

2001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

As a result of a recent review of R–

6412 airspace, the U.S. Army has

requested that the FAA take action to

internally subdivide the two subareas in

R–6412 into four subareas. Dividing the

airspace into four subareas will enhance

traffic management, allow for more

efficient real-time use of the airspace,

and allow more public access. The

subdivision will allow for smaller parts

of the airspace to be used for military

training while allowing public use of

the non-active parts. This action does

not require any change in the existing

external boundaries.

The Rule

This action amends 14 CFR part 73 by

subdividing R–6412A, and R–6412B,

and by establishing R–6412C and R–

6412D. There are no changes to the

external boundaries, altitudes, time of

designation or activities conducted

within the restricted area. This action

further subdivides an existing restricted

area. As the solicitation of comments

would not offer any meaningful right or

benefit to any segment of the public,

notice and public procedure under 5

U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.

Section 73.64 of part 73 was

republished in FAA Order 7400.8H,

dated September 1, 2000.

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 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 will not have

a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

This action is a minor administrative

change to further internally subdivide

an existing Restricted Area. There are no

changes to air traffic control procedures

or routes as a result of this action.

Therefore, this action is not subject to

environmental assessments and

procedures in accordance with FAA

Order 1050.1D, ‘‘Policies and

Procedures for Considering

Environmental Impacts,’’ and the

National Environmental Policy Act of

1969.
