Test Activity, Fort Greely, AK'' to ``U.S. Army, Commander, Cold 
Regions Test Center Fort Greely, AK''. The FAA is taking this action in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 73 by changing the using agency of R-2202A, B, and C, Fort Greely, 
AK, from ``U.S. Army, Commander, Cold Regions Test Activity, Fort 
Greely, AK'' to ``U.S. Army, Commander, Cold Regions Test Center Fort 
Greely, AK''. This is an administrative change and does not affect the 
boundaries; designated altitudes; or activities conducted within the 
restricted areas. Therefore, notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 
553(b) are unnecessary.
    Section 73.22 of Title 14 CFR part 73 was republished in FAA Order 
7400.8M, dated January 6, 2006.
    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. 
Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory 
action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' 
under Department of Transportation (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 not expected to cause any 
potentially significant environmental impacts, and no extraordinary 
circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental 
assessment.
