History On January 31, 2007, the U.S. Navy requested that the FAA take action to establish R–3405 at Sullivan, IN. The requested action would provide airspace needed to separate nonparticipating aircraft from a tethered aerostat balloon. The balloon is used at various locations within NSA Crane’s Lake Glendora Test Facility to deploy radar, electro-optic, camera, and other sensor packages. The Proposal The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 73 to establish R–3405 over an area near Sullivan, IN. The restricted area would enhance safety by separating nonparticipating aircraft from tethered balloon operations conducted by the Lake Glendora Test Facility. The restricted area would be relatively small, covering less than 1 square nm and extending from the surface up to 2,000 feet MSL. Section 73.34 of Title 14 CFR part 73 was republished in FAA Order 7400.8N, dated February 16, 2007. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority as it establishes restricted airspace at Sullivan, IN. Environmental Review This proposal will be subjected to an environmental analysis in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

History

    On January 31, 2007, the U.S. Navy requested that the FAA take 
action to establish R-3405 at Sullivan, IN. The requested action would 
provide airspace needed to separate nonparticipating aircraft from a 
tethered aerostat balloon. The balloon is used at various locations 
within NSA Crane's Lake Glendora Test Facility to deploy radar, 
electro-optic, camera, and other sensor packages.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal 
Regulations (14 CFR) part 73 to establish R-3405 over an area near 
Sullivan, IN. The restricted area would enhance safety by separating 
nonparticipating aircraft from tethered balloon operations conducted by 
the Lake Glendora Test Facility. The restricted area would be 
relatively small, covering less than 1 square nm and extending from the 
surface up to 2,000 feet MSL.
    Section 73.34 of Title 14 CFR part 73 was republished in FAA Order 
7400.8N, dated February 16, 2007.
    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.
    This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in 
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the 
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the 
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient 
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority 
as it establishes restricted airspace at Sullivan, IN.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subjected to an environmental analysis in 
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies 
and Procedures,'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
