Amendment of Restricted Areas R-6602A, R-6602B, and R-6602C; Fort 
Pickett, VA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action updates the using agency information for 
restricted areas R-6602A, R-6602B, and R-6602C, Fort Pickett, VA. This 
is an administrative change to reflect the current organization tasked 
with using agency responsibilities for the restricted areas. It does 
not affect the boundaries, designated altitudes, time of designation or 
activities conducted within the restricted areas.

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, September 15, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul Gallant, Airspace Policy Group, 
Office of Airspace Services, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 
Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591; telephone: (202) 267-
8783.

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 for restricted areas R-6602A, R-6602B 
and R-6602C; Fort Pickett, VA, to reflect the current organization 
responsible for the restricted areas.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 73 by updating the using agency name for restricted areas R-6602A, 
R-6602B and R-6602C; Fort Pickett, VA, by removing

[[Page 38070]]

the words ``Commander, Fort Lee, VA,'' and adding the words ``Virginia 
National Guard, Commander, Fort Pickett, VA.'' The name change reflects 
the current organization assigned using agency responsibilities for the 
restricted areas. This is an administrative change that does not affect 
the boundaries, designated altitudes, or activities conducted within 
the restricted areas; 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. 
It, therefore: (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 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures, 
paragraph 5-6.5.d. This airspace action is an administrative change to 
the description of restricted areas R-6602A, R-6602B and R-6602C; Fort 
Pickett, VA, to update the using agency name. It does not alter the 
dimensions, altitudes, time of designation, or use 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.
