14 CFR Part 73

[Airspace Docket No. 96–ASO–4]

Subdivision of Restricted Areas R–

2104A and R–2104C, Huntsville, AL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action subdivides

Restricted Areas 2104A (R–2104A) and

R–2104C, Huntsville, AL, into two areas

to permit more efficient use of the

airspace. Specifically, the altitudes of

subareas R–2104A and R–2104C, are

redesignated from the current ‘‘surface

to FL 300’’ to ‘‘surface to 12,000 feet

mean sea level (MSL).’’ Additionally,

the remaining restricted airspace, from

12,000 feet MSL to FL 300, is redefined

as subareas R–2104D and R–2104E. No

new restricted airspace is established by

this amendment and the existing

subarea R–2104B is not affected by this

action.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, August 15,

1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Rule

This amendment to 14 CFR part 73

subdivides R–2104A and R–2104C,

Huntsville, AL, to enable more efficient

utilization of airspace. Currently, R–

2104A and R–2104C extend from the

surface to Flight Level 300 (FL 300). The

using agency frequently conducts

activities within R–2104A and R–2104C

which require restricted airspace only

up to 12,000 feet MSL. However, due to

the current configuration of the areas,

airspace is actually restricted up to FL

300 whenever R–2104A and/or R–2104C

are activated. This unnecessarily limits

public access to a portion of the

airspace. This amendment subdivides

R–2104A and R–2104C by redesignating

their altitudes to extend from the

surface to 12,000 feet MSL, and by

redefining the remaining restricted

airspace, between 12,000 feet MSL and

FL 300, as new subareas R–2104D and

R–2104E. The time of designation for

subareas R–2104D and R–2104E is ‘‘By

Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) 6 hours in

advance. This amendment 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. No additional restricted

airspace is designated by this action.

Further, the existing R–2104B is not

affected by this amendment. This action

involves the further subdivision of

existing restricted areas 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.

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 further subdivides

existing restricted airspace to permit

more efficient airspace utilization.

There are no changes to air traffic

control procedures or routes as a result

of this action. 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.

Change in Using Agency for Restricted

Area R–2905A and R–2905B, Tyndall

AFB, FL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action changes the using

agency for Restricted Area 2905A (R–

2905A) and R–2905B, Tyndall Air Force

Base (AFB), FL, from ‘‘Air Defense

Weapons Center, Tyndall AFB, FL’’ to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Rule

This amendment to 14 CFR part 73

changes the using agency for R–2905A

and R–2905B, Tyndall AFB, FL, from

‘‘Air Defense Weapons Center, Tyndall

AFB, FL’’ to ‘‘325 FW, Tyndall AFB,

FL.’’ This is an administrative change to

reflect a reorganization of

responsibilities within the United States

Air Force. 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 would

not be particularly interested, I find that

notice and public procedure under 5

U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. Section

73.29 of part 73 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations was republished in FAA

Order 7400.8C dated June 29, 1995.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation only involves an established

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 affected restricted areas. There are

no changes to the boundaries,

designated altitudes, times of

designation, or activities conducted

within these restricted areas. Further,

this action will not require any changes

to existing air traffic procedures.

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.’’

Payment for Vocational Rehabilitation

Services Furnished Individuals During

Certain Months of Nonpayment of

Supplemental Security Income

Benefits

AGENCY: Social Security Administration

(SSA).

ACTION: Final rules.

SUMMARY: We are amending our

regulations relating to payment for

vocational rehabilitation (VR) services

provided to recipients of supplemental

security income (SSI) benefit payments

based on disability or blindness under

title XVI of the Social Security Act (the

Act). These regulations reflect section

5037 of the Omnibus Budget

Reconciliation Act of 1990 (OBRA

1990). Section 5037 of OBRA 1990

added section 1615(e) to the Act which

authorizes the Commissioner of Social

Security (the Commissioner) to pay a

State VR agency for costs incurred in

furnishing VR services to an individual

during certain months for which the

individual did not receive SSI payments

based on disability or blindness as well

as during months for which the

individual did receive such payments.

We also are amending our regulations

on VR payments to clarify certain rules

and remove some outdated rules.

EFFECTIVE DATE: These regulations are

effective June 19, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We are

amending our regulations on payment

for VR services provided to individuals

receiving SSI benefits based on

disability or blindness. These amended

regulations reflect section 5037 of OBRA

1990, Public Law (Pub. L.) 101–508,

which added paragraph (e) to section

1615 of the Act. Our existing regulations

concerning payment for such services

carry out the provisions of section

1615(d) of the Act.

In general, section 1615(d) of the Act

authorizes the Commissioner to

reimburse a State VR agency for the

costs incurred in providing VR services
