SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History On Friday, August 31, 2007, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to establish restricted Area R–3405 near Sullivan, IN (72 FR 50300). Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments were received. The U.S. Navy lowered the proposed ceiling from 2,000 feet MSL to 1,600 feet MSL after a FAA study found that the proposed establishment of restricted area R–3405, when active, would impact aircraft operations at Sullivan Country Airport, located near the test facility. With the exception of editorial changes, and the change described above, this rule is the same as that proposed in the NPRM. The Rule This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 73 by establishing restricted area R–3405 over an area near Sullivan, IN. This restricted area covers less than 1 square nautical mile and extends from the surface up to and including 1,600 feet MSL, and will ensure flight safety by separating nonparticipating aircraft from tethered aerostat balloon operations conducted by the NSA Crane Lake Glendora Test Facility. Section 73.34 of Title 14 CFR part 73 was republished in FAA Order 7400.8S, effective February 16, 2010. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 43399 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 Pursuant to Section 102(2) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations implementing NEPA (40 CFR Parts 1500–1508), and other applicable law, the U.S. Navy prepared and published a Final Environmental Assessment (FEA) in June 2008 that analyzed the potential for environmental impacts associated with the proposed NSA Crane and Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Glendora Lake Test Facility requirements. In July 2009, the U.S. Navy issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) based on the results of the FEA. In accordance with applicable CEQ regulations (40 CFR 1501.6) and the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between FAA and Department of Defense (DOD) dated October 2005, the FAA was a cooperating agency on the FEA. The FAA has conducted an independent review of the FEA and is adopting the FEA for this action pursuant to 40 CFR 1506.3(a) and (c) and has issued an Adoption of FEA and FONSI/Record of Decision (ROD) dated May 2010. This final rule, which establishes restricted area R–3405, will not result in significant environmental impacts.

These filing options are routinely modified to capture information and technology updates as well as updates to general filing procedures. In Part 2, a reference to multiple paper copies is replaced by a reference to updated filing procedures as posted on the Commission Web site. FERC now has paperless electronic filing options for nearly all documents submitted to the Commission and references to a certain number of paper copies have been revised.1 Part 4 is 1 Although electronic submissions are encouraged, the Commission has posted a Quick PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 revised to remove multiple references to ‘‘certified mail,’’ which is no longer a requirement. See new 18 CFR 4.4; 4.12; 4.22 (2010). Parts 9 and 156 are revised to remove a reference to paper copies as part of filing procedures and Part 157 is revised to remove a section related to outdated file formats. Part 388 replaces language that requires a ‘‘written statement’’ with ‘‘statement.’’ See new 18 CFR 3b.203(b) (2010). C. Minor Revisions Removing Obsolete References to Filing Fees 4. Parts 32, 34, 45, 152, 156, and 157 are all revised by removing language referencing filing fees. These filing fees are no longer required by the Commission. D. Minor Revisions Removing Obsolete References to Form of Notice 5. Parts 33, 34, and 39 are all revised by removing language referencing forms of notice. The notices for these filings are now included in the Combined Notice Process. E. Minor Revisions Replacing Incorrect Order Number References 6. To correct prior typographical errors, Part 35 is revised by replacing multiple references to ‘‘Order 741’’ with ‘‘Order 714.’’ III. Information Collection Statement 7. The Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) regulations require that OMB approve certain information collection requirements imposed by agency rule. 5 CFR Part 1320 (2010). This Final Rule contains no information reporting requirements, and is not subject to OMB approval. IV. Environmental Analysis 8. The Commission is required to prepare an Environmental Assessment or an Environmental Impact Statement for any action that may have a significant adverse effect on the human environment.2 This Final Rule is not such an action, and does not represent a major federal action having a significant adverse effect on the human environment under the Commission’s regulations implementing the National Environmental Policy Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On Friday, August 31, 2007, the FAA published in the Federal 
Register a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to establish restricted 
Area R-3405 near Sullivan, IN (72 FR 50300). Interested parties were 
invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written 
comments on the proposal. No comments were received. The U.S. Navy 
lowered the proposed ceiling from 2,000 feet MSL to 1,600 feet MSL 
after a FAA study found that the proposed establishment of restricted 
area R-3405, when active, would impact aircraft operations at Sullivan 
Country Airport, located near the test facility. With the exception of 
editorial changes, and the change described above, this rule is the 
same as that proposed in the NPRM.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 73 by establishing restricted area R-3405 over an area near 
Sullivan, IN. This restricted area covers less than 1 square nautical 
mile and extends from the surface up to and including 1,600 feet MSL, 
and will ensure flight safety by separating non-participating aircraft 
from tethered aerostat balloon operations conducted by the NSA Crane 
Lake Glendora Test Facility.
    Section 73.34 of Title 14 CFR part 73 was republished in FAA Order 
7400.8S, effective February 16, 2010.
    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.
    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

    Pursuant to Section 102(2) of the National Environmental Policy Act 
of 1969 (NEPA), the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations 
implementing NEPA (40 CFR Parts 1500-1508), and other applicable law, 
the U.S. Navy prepared and published a Final Environmental Assessment 
(FEA) in June 2008 that analyzed the potential for environmental 
impacts associated with the proposed NSA Crane and Naval Surface 
Warfare Center (NSWC) Glendora Lake Test Facility requirements. In July 
2009, the U.S. Navy issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) 
based on the results of the FEA. In accordance with applicable CEQ 
regulations (40 CFR 1501.6) and the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) 
between FAA and Department of Defense (DOD) dated October 2005, the FAA 
was a cooperating agency on the FEA.
    The FAA has conducted an independent review of the FEA and is 
adopting the FEA for this action pursuant to 40 CFR 1506.3(a) and (c) 
and has issued an Adoption of FEA and FONSI/Record of Decision (ROD) 
dated May 2010. This final rule, which establishes restricted area R-
3405, will not result in significant environmental impacts. A copy of 
the FAA Adoption of FEA and FONSI/ROD has been placed in the public 
docket for this rulemaking.
