SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AD 2004–
21–08 R1, amendment 39–17400 (78 FR
20227, April 4, 2013), currently requires
you to repetitively inspect the affected
inboard aileron hinge brackets for cracks
or corrosion and replace them if cracks
or corrosion is found for all Cessna
Models 190, 195 (L–126A,B,C), 195A,
and 195B airplanes that are equipped
with certain inboard aileron hinge
brackets. Replacement with aluminum
brackets would terminate the need for
the repetitive inspections. Future
compliance requires following a revised
service bulletin that clarifies the casting
numbers and part numbers to be
inspected.
As published, the AD docket number
in the final rule headings and in the
headings of the AD is incorrect.
It was incorrectly stated in the
comments section that we received no
comments on the NPRM (78 FR 1155,
January 8, 2013). We received one
supportive comment on the NPRM.
No other part of the preamble or
regulatory information has been
changed; therefore, only the changed
portion of the final rule is being
published in the Federal Register.
The effective date of this AD remains
May 9, 2013.

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This action modifies the
internal boundaries of R–6703 by
further subdividing the airspace from
the current four subareas (A through D)
to ten subareas (A through J). This
change is totally contained within the
current outer boundaries of R–6703. The
designated altitudes and time of
designation remain as currently
published. In addition, the name ‘‘Fort
Lewis, WA,’’ in the titles of the
restricted areas is changed to ‘‘Joint Base

‘‘Commanding General, Fort Lewis,

of Department of Defense organizational

accommodating training requirements,
this also allows more efficient use of
airspace through increased ability to
activate only those subareas actually
needed for the mission.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Restricted Area R–6307 is located at
Fort Lewis in Washington State. R–6307
is currently divided into 4 subareas,
designated A, B, C, D. These subareas
established in the 1950’s, no longer
efficiently accommodate effective
training. The U.S. Army requested the
FAA take action to reconfigure the
internal alignment and boundaries of R–
6307 by adding 6 more subareas to the
restricted area, designated E, F, G, H, I,
J. The changes are confined within the
current restricted area boundaries and
do not alter the existing geographic foot
print or altitudes of the R–6703
complex. This reconfiguration will
simplify the restricted area layout and
eliminate much of the coordination and
deconfliction actions currently required
during training missions. Restructuring
the restricted area complex ensures a
safer and more effective training
environment while allowing for more
efficient airspace usage by military and
civilian users.
Finally, the name of the using agency
for all of the restricted areas is changed
to reflect the new organizational title.

The Rule
This action realigns the internal
boundaries for restricted areas R–6703A,
B, C, D and establishes R–6703E, F, G,
H, I and J. Additionally, it changes the
title of the restricted areas from ‘‘Fort
Lewis, WA’’ to ‘‘Joint Base LewisMcChord, WA.’’ The name of the using
agency for all of the restricted areas is
changed from ‘‘Commanding General,
Fort Lewis, WA’’ to ‘‘Joint Base Garrison
Commander, Joint Base Lewis-McChord,
WA.’’ These name changes are the result
of Department of Defense organizational
consolidations and do not affect the use
of the restricted areas.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:12 Apr 26, 2013
Jkt 229001
This rule is an administrative change
to realign the internal boundaries of
existing restricted airspace and update
the name of the using agency. These
changes do not expand restricted
airspace beyond the current lateral or
vertical boundaries, or increase the
available times of use, or alter the
activities conducted within the
restricted areas. Therefore, I find that
notice and public procedure under 5
U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.
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 only affects air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when
promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
The FAA’s authority to issue rules
regarding aviation safety is found in
Title 49 of the United States Code.
Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator.
Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the
agency’s authority. 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 modifies
restricted area airspace to support
military requirements at Joint Base
Lewis McChord, WA.
Environmental Review
The FAA has reviewed the above
referenced action according to
Department of Transportation Order
5610.1C, ‘‘Procedures for Considering
Environmental Impacts’’ and FAA Order
1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental Impacts:
Policies and Procedures.’’ The
referenced action consists of minor
adjustments of established special use
air space as described in FAA Order
1050.1E paragraph 401p (5), and does
not require an environmental
assessment. Additionally, the
PO 00000

implementation of this action will not
result in any extraordinary
circumstances in accordance with Order
1050.1E paragraph 304 that warrant
further environmental review.

Amendment of Restricted Areas R-6703A, B, C, D; and Establishment
of Restricted Areas R-6703E, F, G, H, I, and J; WA
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action modifies the internal boundaries of R-6703 by
further subdividing the airspace from the current four subareas (A
through D) to ten subareas (A through J). This change is totally
contained within the current outer boundaries of R-6703. The designated
altitudes and time of designation remain as currently published. In
addition, the name ``Fort Lewis, WA,'' in the titles of the restricted
areas is changed to ``Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA. The name of the
using agency is changed from
[[Page 24986]]
``Commanding General, Fort Lewis, WA,'' to ``Joint Base Garrison
Commander, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA.'' The name changes are the
result of Department of Defense organizational consolidations. In
addition to better accommodating training requirements, this also
allows more efficient use of airspace through increased ability to
activate only those subareas actually needed for the mission.
DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, June 27, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Restricted Area R-6307 is located at Fort Lewis in Washington
State. R-6307 is currently divided into 4 subareas, designated A, B, C,
D. These subareas established in the 1950's, no longer efficiently
accommodate effective training. The U.S. Army requested the FAA take
action to reconfigure the internal alignment and boundaries of R-6307
by adding 6 more subareas to the restricted area, designated E, F, G,
H, I, J. The changes are confined within the current restricted area
boundaries and do not alter the existing geographic foot print or
altitudes of the R-6703 complex. This reconfiguration will simplify the
restricted area layout and eliminate much of the coordination and
deconfliction actions currently required during training missions.
Restructuring the restricted area complex ensures a safer and more
effective training environment while allowing for more efficient
airspace usage by military and civilian users.
Finally, the name of the using agency for all of the restricted
areas is changed to reflect the new organizational title.
The Rule
This action realigns the internal boundaries for restricted areas
R-6703A, B, C, D and establishes R-6703E, F, G, H, I and J.
Additionally, it changes the title of the restricted areas from ``Fort
Lewis, WA'' to ``Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA.'' The name of the using
agency for all of the restricted areas is changed from ``Commanding
General, Fort Lewis, WA'' to ``Joint Base Garrison Commander, Joint
Base Lewis-McChord, WA.'' These name changes are the result of
Department of Defense organizational consolidations and do not affect
the use of the restricted areas.
This rule is an administrative change to realign the internal
boundaries of existing restricted airspace and update the name of the
using agency. These changes do not expand restricted airspace beyond
the current lateral or vertical boundaries, or increase the available
times of use, or alter the activities conducted within the restricted
areas. Therefore, I find that notice and public procedure under 5
U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.
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 only affects air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when
promulgated, does not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. 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 modifies restricted area airspace to support military
requirements at Joint Base Lewis McChord, WA.
Environmental Review
The FAA has reviewed the above referenced action according to
Department of Transportation Order 5610.1C, ``Procedures for
Considering Environmental Impacts'' and FAA Order 1050.1E,
``Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures.'' The referenced
action consists of minor adjustments of established special use air
space as described in FAA Order 1050.1E paragraph 401p (5), and does
not require an environmental assessment. Additionally, the
implementation of this action will not result in any extraordinary
circumstances in accordance with Order 1050.1E paragraph 304 that
warrant further environmental review.
