DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 73

[Airspace Docket No. 94-AGL-26]

 

Revocation of Restricted Areas R-5503 A and B; Wilmington, OH

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action removes Restricted Areas R-5503A and B, 
Wilmington, OH. As a result of the base closure and realignment 
process, the 4950th Test Wing at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (AFB), 
OH, is relocating to Edwards AFB, CA. The need for special use airspace 
at this location no longer exists.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, February 2, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Kadechka, Military Operations 
Program Office (ATM-420), Office of Air Traffic System Management, 
Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., 
Washington, DC 20591; telephone: (202) 267-7683.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Rule

    This amendment to part 73 of the Federal Aviation Regulations 
removes Restricted Areas R-5503A and B, Wilmington, OH. As a result of 
the base closure and realignment process, the 4950th Test Wing at 
Wright-Patterson AFB, OH, is relocating to Edwards AFB, CA. Because of 
this move, there is no longer a requirement for this special use 
airspace. 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 73.55 
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 removes special use airspace. This action is not 
subject to environmental assessments and procedures in accordance with 
FAA Order 1050.1D, ``Policies and Procedures for Considering 
Environmental Impacts'' and the National Environmental Policy Act of 
1969 (NEPA).

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 73
