Department of the Air Force has reviewed current requirements for these

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Rule

    This amendment to part 73 of the Federal Aviation Regulations 
amends the time of designation for Restricted Areas R-6903, R-6904A, 
and R-6904B. The time of designation for R-6903 is reduced from 
``Continuous, sunrise to sunset,'' to ``Intermittent by NOTAM.'' The 
time of designation for R-6904A and R-6904B is reduced from ``Sunrise 
to 1900 local time, other times by NOTAM,'' to ``0800-1600 local time, 
Tuesday through Saturday, other times by NOTAM.'' I find that notice 
and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary because this 
action is a minor technical amendment in which the public would not be 
particularly interested. Section 73.69 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

    The action reduces the restricted areas time of designation. In 
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1D, ``Policies and Procedures for 
Considering Environmental Impacts,'' this action is not subject to 
environmental assessments and procedures and the National Environmental 
Policy Act.
