R-2510B, from ``CO, Yuma MCAS, AZ,'' to ``Commanding Officer, U.S. Navy
Fleet Area Control and Surveillance Facility, San Diego, CA.'' The FAA

Navy to reflect an administrative change of responsibility for the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 73 by changing the using agency of R-2510 A & B, El Centro, CA. On
July 18, 2005, the U.S. Navy requested that the FAA change the using
agency from ``CO, Yuma MCAS, AZ,'' to ``Commanding Officer, U.S. Navy
Fleet Area Control and Surveillance Facility, San Diego, CA.'' This
action addresses that request. This is an administrative change and
does not affect the boundaries; designated altitudes; or activities
conducted within the restricted areas. Therefore, notice and public
procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.
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.
Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory
action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule''
under Department of Transportation (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,
when promulgated, will 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 1050.1E, Policies and Procedures for Considering
Environmental Impacts. This airspace action is not expected to cause
any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no extraordinary
circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental
assessment.
