14 CFR Part 73
[Docket No. FAA-2009-0353; Airspace Docket No. 09-ANM-5]
RIN 2120-AA66
Amendment to Restricted Areas R-6402 A&B, R-6404 A, B, C & D, R-
6405, R-6406 A & B, and R-6407; Utah
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action changes the using agency of Restricted Area 6402
(R-6402 A & B), Dugway Proving Ground; R-6404 A, B, C & D, Hill AFB; R-
6405, R-6406 A & B, Wendover; and R-6407, Hill AFB, Utah, from
``Commander, 6501 Range Squadron, Air Force Systems Command, Hill AFB,
UT.'' to ``388th Fighter Wing Air Combat Command, Hill AFB UT.'' The
FAA is taking this action in response to a request from the United
States Department of Air Force to reflect an administrative change of
responsibility for the restricted areas. There are no changes to the
boundaries; designated altitudes; time of designation; or activities
conducted within the affected restricted areas.
DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, July 2, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ken McElroy, Airspace and Rules Group,
Office of System Operations Airspace and AIM, Federal Aviation
Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 73 by amending the using agency for Restricted Areas 6402 (R-6402
A & B), Dugway Proving Ground; R-6404 A, B, C & D, Hill AFB; R-6405, R-
6406 A & B, Wendover; and R-6407, Hill AFB, Utah, from ``Commander,
6501 Range Squadron, Air Force Systems Command, Hill AFB, UT.'' to
``388th Fighter Wing Air Combat Command, Hill AFB UT.'' Accordingly,
since this action only involves a change of administrative information
and does not change the boundary, designated ceiling, or times of use
of the restricted areas notice and public procedures under 5 U.S.C.
533(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.
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
as it amends the using agency for said restricted areas in Utah.
Section 73.64 of Title 14 CFR part 73 was republished in FAA Order
7400.8R, effective February 5, 2009.
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.
