Amendment of Restricted Areas R-2204 Oliktok Point High and R-2204 Oliktok Point Low; AK, 8751-8752 [2023-02822]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 28 / Friday, February 10, 2023 / Rules and Regulations The Rule The FAA is amending 14 CFR part 71 by establishing Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface within an 8.1-mile radius of Franklin Field Airport, Union Springs, AL, to accommodate RNAV GPS standard instrument approach procedures (SIAPs) serving this airport. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations in the area. Regulatory Notices and Analyses 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. It, therefore: (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 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 has determined that this action qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ paragraph 5–6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant the preparation of an environmental assessment.

Background The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) requested that the Federal Aviation Administration amend the descriptions of restricted areas R–2204 Oliktok Point High, AK, and R–2204 Oliktok Point Low, AK, by changing the using agency listed for each from ‘‘Department of Energy, Office of Science, Washington, DC’’ to ‘‘Department of Energy, Arctic Energy Office, Washington, DC’’. The request is the result of the DOE reestablishing the Arctic Energy Office with an office in Fairbanks, AK, and determining it to be in the best interest of the DOE that the Arctic Energy Office undertake the using agency responsibilities for the R–2204 Oliktok Point High and R–2204 Oliktok Point Low restricted areas. Both DOE offices, the Office of Science, Biological and Environmental Research and the Arctic Energy Office, support the using agency change.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking

    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 updates the using agency listed for restricted areas R-
2204 Oliktok Point High, AK, and R-2204 Oliktok Point Low, AK.

Background

    The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) requested that the Federal 
Aviation Administration amend the descriptions of restricted areas R-
2204 Oliktok Point High, AK, and R-2204 Oliktok Point Low, AK, by 
changing the using agency listed for each from ``Department of Energy, 
Office of Science, Washington, DC'' to ``Department of Energy, Arctic 
Energy Office, Washington, DC''. The request is the result of the DOE 
re-establishing the Arctic Energy Office with an office in Fairbanks, 
AK, and determining it to be in the best interest of the DOE that the 
Arctic Energy Office undertake the using agency responsibilities for 
the R-2204 Oliktok Point High and R-2204 Oliktok Point Low restricted 
areas. Both DOE offices, the Office of Science, Biological and 
Environmental Research and the Arctic Energy Office, support the using 
agency change.

The Rule

    This action amends 14 CFR part 73 by changing the using agency name 
listed for restricted areas R-2204 Oliktok Point High and R-2204 
Oliktok Point Low, AK, from ``Department of Energy, Office of Science, 
Washington DC'' to ``Department of Energy, Arctic Energy Office, 
Washington, DC''. This action is necessary in order to reflect the 
current organization tasked with using agency responsibilities for the 
restricted areas.
    This is an administrative change that does not affect the 
boundaries, designated altitudes, times of designation, or activities 
conducted within restricted areas R-2204 Oliktok Point High and R-2204 
Oliktok Point

[[Page 8752]]

Low, AK; therefore, notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) 
are unnecessary.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    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. 
It, therefore: (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.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action of amending the using 
agency information for R-2204 Oliktok Point High and R-2204 Oliktok 
Point Low, AK, qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National 
Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and its implementing 
regulations at 40 CFR part 1500, and in accordance with FAA Order 
1050.1F ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures,'' paragraph 
5-6.5a, which categorically excludes from further environmental impact 
review rulemaking actions that designate or modify classes of airspace 
areas, airways, routes, and reporting points (see 14 CFR part 71, 
Designation of Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas; Air Traffic 
Service Routes; and Reporting Points), and paragraph 5-6.5d, which 
categorically excludes from further environmental impact review the 
modification of the technical description of special use airspace (SUA) 
that does not alter the dimensions, altitudes, or times of designation 
of the airspace (such as changes in designation of the controlling or 
using agency, or correction of typographical errors). This airspace 
action is an administrative change to the description of restricted 
areas R-2204 Oliktok Point High and R-2204 Oliktok Point Low, AK, to 
update the using agency name. It does not alter the restricted area 
dimensions, designated altitudes, times of designation, or use of the 
airspace. Therefore, this airspace action is not expected to result in 
any significant environmental impacts. In accordance with FAA Order 
1050.1F, paragraph 5-2 regarding Extraordinary Circumstances, this 
action has been reviewed for factors and circumstances in which a 
normally categorically excluded action may have a significant 
environmental impact requiring further analysis. The FAA has determined 
that no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of 
an environmental assessment or environmental impact study.
