SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The U.S. Navy requested a minor change to the name of the using
agency for restricted areas R-5301; R-5302A, B and C; and R-5313A, B, C
and D, in North Carolina by removing the words ``NAS Oceana'' from the
description in order to reflect the organization's current designation.
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 73 by changing the using agency names for restricted area R-5301
Albemarle Sound, NC; restricted areas R-5302A, B and C, Harvey Point,
NC; and restricted areas R-5313A, B, C and D, Long Shoal Point, NC from
``U.S. Navy, Fleet Area Control and Surveillance Facility, Virginia
Capes (FACSFAC VACAPES), NAS Oceana, Virginia Beach, VA,'' to ``U.S.
Navy, Fleet Area Control and Surveillance Facility, Virginia Capes
(FACSFAC VACAPES), Virginia Beach, VA.''. This is an administrative
change and does not affect the boundaries, designated altitudes, or
activities conducted within the restricted area; therefore, notice and
public procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.
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.
Therefore, this regulation: (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, 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 an administrative change to the
descriptions of the affected restricted areas to update the using
agency name. It does not alter the dimensions, altitudes, or times of
designation of 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.
