14 CFR Part 73

[Airspace Docket No. 94-ASW-21]


Change in Using Agency for Restricted Areas R-5107C, D, E, F, G, 
H; R-5109A, B; and R-5111A, B, C; NM

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action changes the using agency for Restricted Areas R-
5107C, D, E, F, G, H; R-5109A, B; White Sands Missile Range, NM, and R-
5111A, B, C; Elephant Butte, NM, from ``Deputy for Air Force, White 
Sands Missile Range, NM 88002'' to ``Commanding General, White Sands 
Missile Range, NM.'' This is an administrative change initiated by the 
U.S. Air Force to reflect its reorganization of responsibilities at 
White Sands Missile Range. There are no changes to the boundaries, 
designated altitudes, times of designation, or activities conducted 
within the affected restricted areas.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, May 25, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Pete Magarelli, Military Operations 
Program Office (ATM-420), Office of Air Traffic System Management,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Rule

    This amendment to part 73 of the Federal Aviation Regulations 
changes the using agency for Restricted Areas R-5107C, D, E, F, G, H; 
R-5109A, B; White Sands Missile Range, NM, and R-5111A, B, C; Elephant 
Butte, NM, from ``Deputy for Air Force, White Sands Missile Range, NM 
88002'' to ``Commanding General, White Sands Missile Range, NM.'' This 
is an administrative change initiated by the U.S. Air Force to reflect 
its reorganization of responsibilities at White Sands Missile Range. 
There are no changes to the boundaries, designated altitudes, times of 
designation, or activities conducted within the affected restricted 
areas. Because this action is a minor technical amendment in which the 
public is not particularly interested, I find that notice and public 
procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. Section 73.51 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

    This action changes the using agency of the restricted areas. There 
are no changes to the boundaries, designated altitudes, times of 
designation, or activities conducted within the affected restricted 
areas. Accordingly, this action is not subject to environmental 
assessments and procedures as set forth in FAA Order 1050.1D, 
``Policies and Procedures for Considering Environmental Impacts'' and 
the National Environmental Policy Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 73
