SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

The Airspace Branch in the WesternPacific Region received a request from

the Laughlin/Bullhead International

Airport air traffic control tower manager

to include the airspace west of the

airport beyond 1.8 miles of the north/

south runway and within a 4.2 mile

radius of the airport. Class D airspace areas are published

in Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order

7400.9H, Airspace Designations and

Reporting Points, dated September 1,

2000, and effective September 16, 2000,

through September 15, 2001, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The Class D airspace designation

listed in this document will be

published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 of

the Federal Aviation Regulations revises

the legal description of the Laughlin/

Bullhead International Airport Class D

airspace area, AZ, by including that

airspace within a 4.2-mile radius of the

Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport

west of a line 1.8 miles west of and

parallel to the north/south runway. This

action will change the actual

dimensions, configuration, or operating

requirements of the Laughlin/Bullhead

International Airport Class D airspace

area, AZ.

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.

Amendment of Time of Use for

Restricted Areas R–4501A, B, C, D, and

E, Fort Leonard Wood; MO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action amends the times

of use for Restricted Areas R–4501A, B,

C, D, and E, Fort Leonard Wood, MO.

Specifically, this action reduces and/or

increases the published times and/or

days the restricted areas are in use. The

FAA is taking this action in response to

the United States Army’s (USA)

increased training requirements.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, January 25,

2001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On August 31, 2000, the FAA

proposed to amend 14 CFR part 73 to

amend the times of use for Restricted

Areas R–4501A, B, C, D, and E, Fort

Leonard Wood, MO (65 FR 52961).

Interested parties were invited to

participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA.

No comments were received. The

Department of Defense in a continuing

need to meet its added national defense

responsibilities has increased its

training requirements of the USA

Reserve and National Guard resources

in many areas of the United States. One

of the locations where this training has

been increased is at Fort Leonard Wood,

MO. This increase in training requires

modification of the times of use for R–

4501 and its subdivisions. Therefore,

the USA has requested that the FAA

amend the times and days of use for R–

4501A, B, C, D, and E. Except for

editorial changes, this amendment is the

same as that proposed in the notice.

Section 73.45 of part 73 was

republished in FAA Order 7400.8H

dated September 1, 2000.

The Rule

This amendment to 14 CFR part 73

modifies the times of use of R–4501 and

76152 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 235 / Wednesday, December 6, 2000 / Rules and Regulations

its subdivisions over Fort Leonard

Wood, MO. Specifically, R–4501A is

activated thirty minutes earlier and

deactivated three hours later.

Additionally, R–4501B is activated on

the same schedule but deactivated four

hours later. The day schedule (MondaySaturday) remains unchanged.

Also, R–4501C and D are activated

two hours later Monday-Friday and

deactivated three hours later than the

current designation on Monday and two

hours earlier Tuesday-Friday. Saturday

is no longer designated as an active day

unless done so by NOTAM 24 hours in

advance. In addition, R–4501E is

activated on the same schedule as R–

4501C and D. The FAA is taking this

action at the request of the USA to meet

the increasing training efforts of the

USA at Fort Leonard Wood, MO, and to

better depict more realistic operational

times of use of the restricted areas.

Section 73.45 of 14 CFR 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. It, therefore—(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 reduces and/or increases

the published times and/or days the

restricted areas are in use. Therefore, the

FAA has determined that 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.

Federal Employment Tax Deposits—De

Minimis Rule

AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS),

Treasury.

ACTION: Temporary and final

regulations.

SUMMARY: This document contains

temporary and final regulations relating

to the deposit of Federal employment

taxes. The regulations change the de

minimis deposit rule for quarterly and

annual return periods. The regulations

affect taxpayers required to make

deposits of Federal employment taxes.

The text of the temporary regulations

also serves as the text of the proposed

regulations set forth in the notice of

proposed rulemaking on this subject in

the Proposed Rules section of this issue

of the Federal Register.

DATES: Effective date: These regulations

are effective December 6, 2000.

Applicability date: For dates of

applicability, see § 31.6302–1T(f)(4).

a toll-free call).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Explanation of

Provisions

This document contains amendments

to 26 CFR part 31, Employment Taxes

and Collection of Income Tax at the

Source. Section 31.6302–1(f)(4) provides

that if the total amount of accumulated

employment taxes for a return period is

less than $1,000 and the amount is fully

deposited or remitted with a timely filed

return for the quarter, the amount

deposited or remitted will be deemed to

be timely deposited.

The temporary regulations change the

$1,000 threshold to $2,500. Thus, a

taxpayer that has accumulated

employment taxes of less than $2,500

for a return period (quarterly or annual,

as the case may be) does not have to

make deposits but may remit its full
