Subdivision of Restricted Areas R-6412A and R-6412B, and
Establishment of R-6412C and R-6412D, Camp Williams, UT

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies Restricted Area R-6412A and R-6412B, Camp
Williams, Utah, by subdividing the two areas into four separate areas
designated as R-6412A, R-6412B, R-6412C, and R-6412D. The dimensions of
R-6412 will remain the same, however, the internal modification of the
present R-6412A and R-6412B and subsequent establishment of R-6412C and
R-6412D will enable the military to activate only that portion of the
airspace that is actually needed to contain their operations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, January 25, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ken McElroy, Airspace and Rules
Division, ATA-400, Office of Air Traffic Airspace Management, Federal
Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    As a result of a recent review of R-6412 airspace, the U.S. Army
has requested that the FAA take action to internally subdivide the two
subareas in R-6412 into four subareas. Dividing the airspace into four
subareas will enhance traffic management, allow for more efficient
real-time use of the airspace, and allow more public access. The
subdivision will allow for smaller parts of the airspace to be used for
military training while allowing public use of the non-active parts.
This action does not require any change in the existing external
boundaries.

The Rule

    This action amends 14 CFR part 73 by subdividing R-6412A, and R-
6412B, and by establishing R-6412C and R-6412D. There are no changes to
the external boundaries, altitudes, time of designation or activities
conducted within the restricted area. This action further subdivides an
existing restricted area. As the solicitation of comments would not
offer any meaningful right or benefit to any segment of the public,
notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.
    Section 73.64 of part 73 was republished in FAA Order 7400.8H,
dated September 1, 2000.
    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 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 is a minor administrative change to further internally
subdivide an existing Restricted Area. There are no changes to air
traffic control procedures or routes as a result of this action.
Therefore, 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.
