SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Rule

    This amendment to part 73 of the Federal Aviation Regulations adds 
the Chicago ARTCC as the controlling agency for R-3302, Savanna, IL. 
This change was initiated by the Chicago ARTCC and coordinated with the 
U.S. Army to facilitate joint use of the airspace. This will allow 
access for general aviation aircraft when the special use airspace is 
not active. Because this action is a minor technical amendment in which 
the public is not particularly interested, I find that notice and 
public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. Section 73.33 
of part 73 of the Federal Aviation Regulations was republished in FAA 
Order 7400.8B dated March 9, 1994.
    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. 
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 
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is 
certified that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on 
a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This action adds the controlling agency for the restricted area. 
There are no changes to the boundaries, altitudes, time of designation, 
or activities conducted within the restricted area. Accordingly, this 
action is not subject to environmental assessments and procedures as 
set forth in FAA Order 1050.1D, ``Policies and Procedures for 
Considering Environmental Impacts.''
