14 CFR Part 73

[Airspace Docket No. 94–AWP–17]

Realignment of Restricted Areas R–

4807A, Tonopah and R–4808N, Las

Vegas, NV

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action realigns the

common boundary between Restricted

Areas R–4807A, Tonopah, NV, and R–

48408, Las Vegas, NV, located within

the Nellis Air Force Base (AFB) Range

Complex. R–4807A is increased by 128

square miles on its eastern boundary

and R–4808N is correspondingly

reduced by the same amount. There are

no changes to the designated altitudes

for either R–4807A or R–4808N.

Because R–4807A is a joint-use

restricted area, this action will increase

the airspace available for civil use when

the area is released to the controlling

agency. Additionally, the time of

designation for R–4807A is being

reduced from ‘‘Continuous’’ to

‘‘Continuous from 0600 Monday to 1900

Friday; other times by NOTAM.’’ R–

4808N is a non-joint-use restricted area

and is active on a continuous basis.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, July 20,

1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Jim Robinson, Military Operations

Program Office (ATM–420), Office of

Air Traffic System Management, Federal

Aviation Administration, 800

Independence Avenue, SW.,

Washington, DC 20591; telephone: (202)

493–4050.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Rule

This amendment to part 73 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations realigns

the common boundary between

Restricted Areas R–4807A and R–4808N

within the Nellis AFB. This amendment

increases the area of R–4807A by 128

square miles on the eastern side and

reduces R–4808N by the same amount.

The purpose of this action is to enhance

airspace utilization and allow better use

of existing electronic warfare threat

simulators in the area of R–4807A

known as EC South (ECS). The

expansion of R–4807A will support the

same type of missions currently flown

in the existing ECS airpace.

Additionally, the time of designation for

R–4807A is being reduced from

‘‘Countinous’’ to ‘‘Continuous from

0600 Monday to 1900 Friday; other

times by NOTAM.’’ These actions will

increase the airspace available for civil

aviation use when R–4807A is released

to the controlling agency. R–4808N is a

non-joint-use restricted area and is

active on a continuous basis. This

amendment realigns the common

boundary between two existing

restricted areas, reduces the time of

designation for R–4807A, and does not

establish any new restricted airspace.

Therefore, I find that notice and public

procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are

unnecessary because this action is a

minor technical amendment in which

the public is not particularly interested.

Section 73.48 of part 73 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations was republished

in FAA Order 7400.8B dated March 9,

1994.

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

An environmental assessment was

conducted in accordance with United

States Air Force (USAF) regulations and

resulted in a categorical exclusion

(CATEX) determination by the USAF.

This action is a minor adjustment to the

internal boundaries of adjacent

restricted areas, without changing the

outer limits of the restricted airspace

complex as a whole, and a reduction in

the time of use for R–4807A. This action

is not subject to environmental

assessments and procedures under FAA

Order 1050.1D, ‘‘Policies and

Procedures for Considering

Environmental Impacts,’’ and the

National Environmental Policy Act.

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 28200; Amdt. No. 1661]

Standard Instrument Approach

Procedures; Miscellaneous

Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This amendment establishes,

amends, suspends, or revokes Standard

Instrument Approach Procedures

(SIAPs) for operations at certain

airports. These regulatory actions are

needed because of changes occurring in

the National Airspace System, such as

the commissioning of new navigational

facilities, addition of new obstacles, or

changes in air traffic requirements.

These changes are designed to provide

safe and efficient use of the navigable

airspace and to promote safe flight

operations under instrument flight rules

at the affected airports.

DATES: An effective date for each SIAP

is specified in the amendatory

provisions.

Incorporation by reference-approved

by the Director of the Federal Register

on December 31, 1980, and reapproved

as of January 1, 1982.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter

incorporated by reference in the

amendment is as follows:

For Examination

1. FAA Rules Docket, FAA

Headquarters Building, 800

Independence Avenue, SW.,

Washington, DC 20591;

2. The FAA Regional Office of the

region in which affected airport is

located; or

3. The Flight Inspection Area Office

which originated the SIAP.

For Purchase

Individual SIAP copies may be

obtained from:

1. FAA Public Inquiry Center (APA–

200), FAA Headquarters Building, 800

Independence Avenue, SW.,

Washington, DC 20591; or

2. The FAA Regional Office of the

region in which the affected airport is

located.

By Subscription

Copies of all SIAPs, mailed once

every 2 weeks, are for sale by the

Superintendent of Documents, US

Government Printing Office,

Washington, DC 20402.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

amendment to part 97 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 97)

establishes, amends, suspends, or

revokes Standard Instrument Approach

Procedures (SIAPs). The complete

regulatory description on each SIAP is

contained in the appropriate FAA Form

8260 and the National Flight Data

Center (FDC)/Permanent (P) Notices to

Airmen (NOTAM) which are

incorporated by reference in the

amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1

CFR part 51, and § 97.20 of the Federal

Aviations Regulations (FAR). Materials

incorporated by reference are available

for examination or purchase as stated

above.

The large number of SIAPs, their

complex nature, and the need for a

special format make their verbatim

publication in the Federal Register

expensive and impractical. Further,

airmen do not use the regulatory text of

the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic

depiction of charts printed by

publishers of aeronautical materials.

Thus, the advantages of incorporation

by reference are realized and

publication of the complete description

of each SIAP contained in FAA form

documents is unnecessary. The

provisions of this amendment state the

affected CFR (and FAR) sections, with

the types and effective dates of the

SIAPs. This amendment also identifies

the airport, its location, the procedure

identification and the amendment

number.

The Rule

This amendment to part 97 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 97) establishes, amends, suspends,

or revokes SIAPs. For safety and

timeliness of change considerations, this

amendment incorporates only specific

changes contained in the content of the

following FDC/P NOTAM for each

SIAP. The SIAP information in some

previously designated FDC/Temporary

(FDC/T) NOTAMs is of such duration as

to be permanent. With conversion to

FDC/P NOTAMs, the respective FDC/T

NOTAMs have been cancelled.

The FDC/P NOTAMs for the SIAPs

contained in this amendment are based

on the criteria contained in the U.S.

Standard for Terminal Instrument

Approach Procedures (TERPS). In

developing these chart changes to SIAPs

by FDC/P NOTAMs, the TERPS criteria

were applied to only these specific

conditions existing at the affected
