Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 40 / Monday, March 2, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 11107 

ACTION: Final rule; technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This action updates using 

agency information for restricted areas 

R–3801A, R–3801B, and R–3801C, 

Camp Claiborne, LA. This is an 

administrative change to reflect an 

organizational transfer of using agency 

responsibilities within the United States 

Air Force. It does not affect the 

boundaries, designated altitudes, time of 

designation or activities conducted 

within the restricted areas. 

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, April 

30, 2015.

Colby Abbott, Airspace Policy and

Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 6, 1994, the FAA 

amended restricted areas R–3801A, R– 

3801B, and R–3801C to reflect ‘‘U.S. Air 

Force, 917 Fighter Wing, Barksdale 

AFB, LA’’ as the using agency. Due to 

multiple U.S. Air Force organizational 

initiatives since 1994, the 917th Fighter 

Wing changed to the 917th Wing and 

then to the 917th Fighter Group. As a 

result of the 917th Fighter Group 

deactivating in 2013, the using agency 

responsibilities were transferred within 

the U.S. Air Force to the 307th Bomb 

Wing at Barksdale AFB, where they 

remain today. 

The organizational changes listed 

above did not alter the location, size, or 

use of the restricted areas from the 

current parameters. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 73 by 

updating the using agency name for 

restricted areas R–3801A, R–3801B, and 

R–3801C, Camp Claiborne, LA. The 

name change is due to an organizational 

transfer of restricted area using agency 

responsibilities within the U.S. Air 

Force. This is an administrative change 

that 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 modifies the technical descriptions of 

restricted areas to ensure that accurate 

information is available to the flying 

public for the Camp Claiborne, LA, area. 

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 description 

of restricted areas R–3801A, R–3801B, 

and R–3801C to update the using agency 

name. It does not alter the dimensions, 

altitudes, time of designation, or use 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.

the boundary descriptions of restricted 

areas R–2932, R–2933, R–2934 and R–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 15, 2014, the FAA 

published a final rule; technical 

amendment in the Federal Register that 

made minor adjustments to the 

boundary descriptions of restricted 

areas R–2932, R–2933, R–2934 and R– 

2935 at Cape Canaveral, FL (79 FR 

74016). Subsequent to publication, it 

was determined that one latitude/

longitude coordinate had been omitted 

from the boundary description of 

restricted area R–2935. The omission 

causes a slight gap between the 

boundaries of R–2935 and adjacent 

restricted areas. This correction inserts 

‘‘lat. 28°25′01′′ N., long 80°37′59′′ W.,’’ 

between the points ‘‘lat. 28°25′01′′ N., 

long. 80°41′44′′ W.,’’ and ‘‘lat. 28°24′31′′ 

N., long. 80°29′52′′ W.’’
