14 CFR Part 73

[Airspace Docket No. 95–ASO–18]

Subdivision of Restricted Area R–2103,

Fort Rucker, AL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action subdivides

Restricted Area 2103 (R–2103), Fort

Rucker, AL, into two separate areas, to

permit more efficient use of the

airspace. R–2103A is designated from

the surface to but not including 10,000

feet mean sea level (MSL), and R–2103B

is designated from 10,000 feet MSL to

15,000 feet MSL. This subdivision of the

restricted areas utilize the existing

lateral boundaries of R–2103. No new

restricted airspace is established by this

action.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, August 15,

1996.

Gallant, Airspace and Rules Division,

Management, Federal Aviation

Administration, 800 Independence

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Rule

This amendment to 14 CFR part 73

subdivides R–2103, Fort Rucker, AL,

into two separate areas to permit more

efficient utilization of airspace.

Currently, R–2103 extends from the

surface to 15,000 feet MSL, with a time

of designation of ‘‘continuous.’’ The

using agency has determined that the

majority of mission activities currently

do not require restricted airspace above

10,000 feet MSL. Certain activities,

however, still require restricted airspace

up to the 15,000 feet MSL ceiling, but

not on a ‘‘continuous’’ basis. Under the

current restricted area configuration,

airspace is restricted up to 15,000 feet

MSL even when mission activities do

not require airspace above 10,000 feet

MSL. This unnecessarily limits public

access to a portion of the airspace. This

amendment will subdivide the existing

R–2103 as follows: R–2103A is

designated from the surface to but not

including 10,000 feet MSL, and retains

a ‘‘continuous’’ time of designation.

Cairns Approach Control, a U.S. Army

air traffic control facility, is designated

as the controlling agency for R–2103A,

per agreement with the FAA,

Jacksonville ARTCC. R–2103B is

designated from 10,000 feet MSL to

15,000 feet MSL, with a time of

designation of ‘‘By Notice to Airmen

(NOTAM) 6 hours in advance.’’ The

FAA, Jacksonville ARTCC is designated

as the controlling agency for R–2103B.

This change enables the using agency to

accomplish its mission while improving

the capability to activate only the

minimum amount of restricted airspace

necessary for that mission. There is no

change to the lateral boundaries or

activities conducted in the existing area.

This action affects only the internal

subdivision of an existing restricted area

and enhances efficient airspace

utilization. Therefore, I find that notice

and public procedure under 5 U.S.C.

553(b) are unnecessary since this action

is a minor amendment in which the

public would not be particularly

interested. The coordinates for this

airspace docket are based on North

American Datum 83. Section 73.21 of

part 73 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations was republished in FAA

Order 7400.8C dated June 19, 1995.

Environmental Review

This action internally subdivides an

existing restricted area and does not

affect the lateral boundaries or overall

vertical limits of restricted airspace.

There are no changes to air traffic

control procedures, routes, or type of

activity conducted within these

boundaries as a result of this

amendment. Therefore, 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.

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.

[Docket No. 960610168–6168–01]

Removal of CFR Chapter

AGENCY: United States Travel and

Tourism Administration, Commerce.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Omnibus Consolidated

Rescissions and Appropriations Act of

1996 did not include funding for the

U.S. Travel and Tourism

Administration. Some functions that are

directly linked to tourism and trade are

being established in the International

Trade Administration, and no further

funding is required. Therefore, the

United States Travel and Tourism

regulations regarding the issuance of

grants to promote travel to States or

their political subdivisions by foreign

residents are being removed from the

Code of Federal Regulations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 17, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Joan DeBellis, 202–482–4606.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In March

1995, President Clinton issued a

directive to Federal agencies regarding

their responsibilities under his

Regulatory Reform Initiative. This

initiative is part of the National

Performance Review and calls for

immediate, comprehensive regulatory

reform. The President directed all

agencies to undertake, as part of this

initiative, an exhaustive review of all

their regulations—with an emphasis on

eliminating or modifying those that are

obsolete or otherwise in need of reform.

The Omnibus Consolidated Rescissions

and Appropriations Act of 1996 (Public

Law 104–134) did not include funding

for the United States Travel and

Tourism Administration. On April 27,

1996, the United States Travel and

Tourism Administration ceased to exist.

Therefore, the regulations regarding the

issuance of grants to promote travel to

States or their political subdivisions by

foreign residents are being removed

because the program is no longer

funded.

Miscellaneous Rulemaking

Requirements

1. It has been determined that this

rulemaking action is not significant for

purposes of Executive Order 12866.

2. This rulemaking is exempt from all

procedural requirements of section 553

of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5

U.S.C. 553.

List of Subjects in 15 CFR Part 1200

CHAPTER XII—[REMOVED]

Accordingly, under authority of 5

U.S.C. 301, 15 CFR is amended by

removing part 1200 and vacating

Chapter XII.

AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; notice of filing of

motion for clarification.

SUMMARY: On May 13, 1996, the

coalition for a Competitive Electric

Market (CCEM) filed a motion for

expedited clarification of the service

requirements for filing tariffs in

compliance with the final rule in this

proceeding (61 FR 21540, May 10,

1996). CCEM asks the Commission to

clarify that public utilities are to

provide a copy of their compliance

filings on electronic diskette (in wordprocessing format containing a redline

version comparing the compliance tariff

with the pro forma tariff), via overnight

delivery, to any eligible customer that

requests a copy of the compliance tariff

in advance of its filing with the

Commission and that is prepared to pay

the costs associated with such service.

Copies of CCEM’s motion are on file

with the Commission and are available

for public inspection.

DATES: Any person desiring to respond

to CCEM’s motion should file an answer

on or before June 21, 1996.
