SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Rule
This amendment to part 73 of the Federal Aviation Regulations
amends the time of designation for Restricted Areas R-3601A and R-
3601B. The time of designation for R-3601A and R-3601B are reduced from
``Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, 0800 to 1800 local time;
Tuesday and Thursday, 0800 to 2230 local time; other times by NOTAM 24
hours in advance.'' to ``Monday through Friday, 0900 to 1700 local
time; other times by NOTAM 6 hours in advance.'' 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 73.36 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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 73
