AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action changes the names of the controlling agency and
using agency for Restricted Areas R-6608A, B, and C, Quantico, VA. The
FAA is taking this action at the request of the U.S. Marine Corps to
reflect the
[[Page 70467]]
current organizational names. This is an administrative change that
does not alter the boundaries, designated altitudes, time of
designation, or activities conducted within the affected restricted
areas.
DATES: Effective Dates: 0901 UTC, January 18, 2007.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul Gallant, Airspace and Rules,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 73 by changing the name of the controlling agency for Restricted
Areas R-6608A, B, and C, Quantico, VA, from ``FAA, Potomac Approach,''
to ``FAA, Potomac TRACON.'' In addition, this action changes the name
of the using agency for the restricted areas from ``U.S. Marine Corps,
Commanding General, Marine Corps Development and Education Command,
Quantico, VA,'' to ``U.S. Marine Corps, Commanding General, Marine
Corps Base, Quantico, VA.'' These changes are administrative only and
do not affect the boundaries, designated altitudes, or activities
conducted within the restricted areas. Therefore, notice and public
procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) is unnecessary.
Section 73.66 of Title 14 CFR part 73 was republished in FAA Order
7400.8M, dated January 6, 2006.
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 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 311d., FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures.'' 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.
