Authority for This Rulemaking The FAAs 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 agencys 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 Area R
4305, Lake Superior, MN.
Background The U.S. Air Force requested that the Federal Aviation Administration amend the Restricted Area R4305, Lake Superior, MN, description by changing the using agency from the USAF, 55th Wing, Offutt AFB, NE, to the U.S. Air Force, 148th Fighter Wing, Duluth International Airport, MN. Both military organizations use the restricted area and support the using agency change. Since 2011, the 148th Fighter Wing has fulfilled the scheduling and utilization reporting responsibilities for R4305, even though the 55th Wing was the using agency of record in the R
4305 description.
As such, changing the R4305 using agency from the 55th Wing, Offutt AFB, NE, to the 148th Fighter Wing, Duluth International Airport, MN, reflects the existing responsibilities of the 148th Fighter Wing for accomplishing the scheduling and utilization reporting for the restricted area. Additionally, this change supports the U.S. Air Forces efforts to align the using agency for R
4305 and the surrounding Military Operations Areas under the same using agency to ensure efficient use of the special use airspace complex.
There are no changes to the boundaries, designated altitudes, time of designation, or activities conducted within the affected restricted area as a result of changing the R4305 using agency.
The Rule This action amends title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 14 CFR part 73 by changing the using agency name listed for restricted area R4305 over Lake Superior, MN, from USAF, 55th Wing, Offutt AFB, NE to U.S. Air Force, 148th Fighter Wing, Duluth International Airport, MN. This action

is necessary in order to reflect the current military organization tasked with using agency responsibilities for the restricted area.
This is an administrative change that does not affect the overall R4305
restricted area boundaries, designated altitudes, time of designation, or activities conducted within the restricted area; therefore, notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553b 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 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.
Environmental Review The FAA has determined that this action of updating the using agency information for R4305, Lake Superior, MN, qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act, and 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 area R4305, Lake Superior, MN, to update the using agency name.
It does not alter the restricted area dimensions, designated altitudes, time 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, and it is determined that no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment.
