Amendment to the Titles of Restricted Areas R-5301, R-5302A, R-
5302B, and R-5302C; North Carolina

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 
CFR) part 73 by making an editorial change to the location names listed 
in the titles of restricted areas R-5301, R-5302A, R-5302B, and R-5302C 
in North Carolina. There are no changes to the boundaries; designated 
altitudes; time of designation, activities conducted within the 
restricted areas or the actual physical locations of the restricted 
areas.

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, August 20, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul Gallant, Airspace Policy and 
Regulations Group, Office of Airspace Services, Federal Aviation 
Administration, 800 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591;

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 locations named in the titles of restricted areas R-
5301, R-5302A, R-5302B, and R-5302C in North Carolina.

Background

    A discrepancy has been identified in the location names listed in 
the titles of restricted areas R-5301, R-5302A, R-5302B, and R-5302C, 
in North Carolina. Currently, the location in the title of R-5301 reads 
``Albemarle Sound, NC'' and the location in the titles of R-5302A, B, 
and C reads ``Harvey Point, NC.'' A review of aeronautical charts 
reveals that the location names should be reversed. R-5301 lies 
physically over Harvey Point. NC; while R-5302A, B, and C are situated 
above Albemarle Sound.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 73 by making an editorial change to the location names listed in 
the titles of restricted areas R-5301, R-5302A, R-

[[Page 34266]]

5302B, and R-5302C in North Carolina. As noted above, the locations 
currently listed in the restricted area descriptions are inaccurate. 
The title that reads ``R-5301 Albemarle Sound, NC'' is changed to read 
``R-5301 Harvey Point, NC.'' The titles for restricted areas R-5302A, 
R-5302B, and R-5302C, which currently read ``Harvey Point, NC,'' are 
changed to read ``Albemarle Sound, NC.'' This is an editorial change to 
update the locations in the titles of restricted areas R-5301, R-5302A, 
R-5302B, and R-5302C in North Carolina. The areas are correctly 
depicted on aeronautical charts. This change does not affect the 
boundaries, designated altitudes, activities conducted within the 
restricted areas or the actual physical location of the airspace; 
therefore, notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are 
unnecessary.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this action 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 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 qualifies for categorical 
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance 
with FAA Order 1050.1E, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures, 
paragraph 311d. This action is an administrative change to the titles 
in the descriptions of the affected restricted areas to reflect the 
correct locations. It does not alter the dimensions, altitudes, times 
of designation or actual physical locations of the airspace; therefore, 
it is not expected to cause any potentially significant environmental 
impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances exists that warrant 
preparation of an environmental assessment.
