Download as PDF 15606 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 58 / Monday, March 28, 2005 / Proposed Rules (1) Pistachios failing to meet quality and aflatoxin requirements; (2) failing pistachios that are reworked or disposed of in accordance with marketing order requirements; (3) handlers applying for exemptions; (4) transfers of uninspected pistachios between regulated handlers; and (5) inventories and shipments of pistachios. Additionally, it would allow the Committee to obtain accurate information for preparation of the annual marketing policy statement, as required under the order. Any comments received will be considered prior to finalization of this rule. Another form, ACP 1, was not included with this approval request because that form was part of a previous request, published in the Federal Register on December 10, 2004 (69 FR 71749). This form would be included in the order at § 983.253, at such time that it is approved. List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 983 Pistachios, Marketing agreements and orders, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

Background The existing R–2211, at Blair Lakes, AK, extends from the surface up to VerDate jul<14>2003 12:47 Mar 25, 2005 Jkt 205001 18,000 feet MSL. The USAF has proposed raising the ceiling of the area because the existing restricted airspace is too small to permit essential aircrew training in the tactics used in recent real-world engagements. The current 18,000-foot MSL upper limit of the area is not sufficient to satisfy high altitude weapons release training requirements. The Proposal The FAA is proposing to amend Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 73 (part 73) to modify R–2211 by raising the ceiling from 18,000 feet MSL to FL 310. The current restricted airspace at Blair Lakes is too small to allow aircrew training in high altitude weapons delivery tactics. The purpose of the proposed expansion of R–2211 is to accommodate high altitude, high angle weapons delivery training to fulfill USAF training requirements. The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this proposed 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 proposed 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 This proposal will be subject to the appropriate environmental analysis in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1D, Policies and Procedures for Considering Environmental Impacts, prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

Background

    The existing R-2211, at Blair Lakes, AK, extends from the surface 
up to 18,000 feet MSL. The USAF has proposed raising the ceiling of the 
area because the existing restricted airspace is too small to permit 
essential aircrew training in the tactics used in recent real-world 
engagements. The current 18,000-foot MSL upper limit of the area is not 
sufficient to satisfy high altitude weapons release training 
requirements.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing to amend Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 
(14 CFR) part 73 (part 73) to modify R-2211 by raising the ceiling from 
18,000 feet MSL to FL 310. The current restricted airspace at Blair 
Lakes is too small to allow aircrew training in high altitude weapons 
delivery tactics. The purpose of the proposed expansion of R-2211 is to 
accommodate high altitude, high angle weapons delivery training to 
fulfill USAF training requirements.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves 
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. 
Therefore, this proposed 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 proposed 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

    This proposal will be subject to the appropriate environmental 
analysis in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1D, Policies and Procedures 
for Considering Environmental Impacts, prior to any FAA final 
regulatory action.
