[Docket No. FAA–2017–0985 Airspace 

Docket No. 17–AWP–21] 

Amendment of Multiple Restricted 

Areas; Vandenberg AFB, CA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This action makes minor 

adjustments to the boundary 

descriptions of restricted areas R–2516, 

R–2517, R–2534A and R–2534B; 

Vandenberg AFB, CA. The changes are 

necessary as a result of the FAA using 

updated digital data that defines 

maritime limits and other geophysical 

features used in the boundary 

descriptions. This requires minor 

changes to certain latitude/longitude 

points in the boundary descriptions of 

the above restricted areas to match the 

updated digital data. 

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, 

February 1, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

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 

since it makes minor updates to certain 

boundary coordinates for restricted 

areas R–2516, R–2517, R–2534A and R– 

2534B; Vandenberg AFB, CA, to match 

updated digital shoreline data received 

from the National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). 

Background 

Some restricted area boundary 

descriptions use maritime limits, such 

as the shoreline of the U.S., to identify 

the shape of the area (e.g., ‘‘3 nautical 

miles from and parallel to the 

shoreline’’). These boundary 

descriptions contain latitude/longitude 

coordinates that were intended to either 

join, or run parallel to, the shoreline. 

For a variety of reasons, maritime 

limits change over time. The FAA has 

received updated digital data for 

maritime limits from NOAA. Digital 

data is more precise than measurements 

used in the past. The FAA, through the 

implementation of its data-driven 

charting process, was able to utilize this 

new data to accurately update the U.S. 

maritime limit boundaries used for 

aeronautical charting. Prior to the 

update, the maritime limit boundary 

data used for charting were over 25 

years old. In applying the updated data, 

FAA found that some restricted area 

boundary descriptions, that were based 

on the maritime limits, did not 

correspond to the updated shoreline 

data. Consequently, there are minor 

mismatches between some restricted 

area latitude/longitude coordinates and 

the actual shoreline position. 

This rulemaking action updates the 

affected boundary coordinates of 

restricted areas R–2516, R–2517, R– 

2534A and R–2534B, in California to 

maintain the intended shape of the 

airspace in relation to the U.S. shoreline 

and to improve their representations on 

aeronautical charts. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 73 to 

make minor adjustments to certain 

latitude/longitude coordinates in the 

descriptions of restricted areas R–2516, 

R–2517, R–2534A and R–2534B, in 

California. The changes are necessary as 

a result of the FAA using digital data for 

aeronautical charting. This more precise 

digital plotting of points revealed minor 

mismatches between some of the 

current restricted area boundary 

coordinates and the more accurate 

digital data for those points. The 

specific restricted area boundary 

updates are shown below: 

R–2516: The point ‘‘lat. 35°00′00′′ N., 

long. 120°42′04′′ W.’’ is changed to ‘‘lat. 

35°00′06′′ N., long. 120°42′12′′ W.’’ and 

the point ‘‘lat. 34°42′00′′ N., long. 

120°40′22′′ W.’’ is changed to ‘‘lat. 

34°42′00′′ N., long. 120°40′01′′ W.’’ 

These changes reflect updated digital 

shoreline data. 

R–2517: The point ‘‘lat. 34°42′00′′ N., 

long. 120°40′22′′ W.’’ is changed to ‘‘lat. 

34°42′00′′ N., long. 120°40′01′′ W.’’ and 

the point ‘‘lat. 34°24′00′′ N., long. 

120°30′04′′ W.’’ is changed to ‘‘lat. 

34°24′04′′ N., long. 120°29′51′′ W.’’ 

These changes reflect updated digital 

shoreline data. 

R–2534A: The point ‘‘lat. 34°25′10′′ 

N., long. 120°15′34′′ W.’’ is changed to 

‘‘lat. 34°25′00′′ N., long. 120°15′34′′ W.’’ 

and the point ‘‘lat. 34°24′40′′ N., long. 

120°19′14′′ W.’’ is changed to ‘‘lat. 

34°24′39′′ N., long. 120°19′13′′ W.’’ 

These changes reflect updated digital 

shoreline data. 

R–2534B: The point ‘‘lat. 34°24′40′′ N., 

long. 120°19′14′′ W.’’ is changed to ‘‘lat. 

34°24′39′′ N., long. 120°19′13′′ W.’’ 

These changes reflect updated digital 

shoreline data. 

These minor editorial changes update 

existing restricted area boundaries with 

more precise digital information. It does 

not affect the location, designated 

altitudes, or activities conducted within 

the restricted areas; therefore, notice 

and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b) are unnecessary. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

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. 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 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. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: 

Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5– 

6.5d, modification of the technical 

description of special use airspace 

(SUA) that does not alter the 

dimensions, altitudes, or times of 

designation of the airspace. This

airspace action makes minor updates to 

certain boundary coordinates of 

restricted areas R–2516, R–2517, R– 

2534A and R–2534B; Vandenberg AFB, 

CA, to match the digital shoreline data 

received from the NOAA 

Administration. This ensures that the 

affected boundaries continue to match 

the NOAA-defined position of the U.S. 

shoreline. It does not alter the location, 

altitudes, or activities conducted within 

the airspace; therefore, it is not expected 

to cause any potentially significant 

environmental impacts, and no 

extraordinary circumstances exist that 

warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.
