redesignating
Giving new classification
Redesignating is changing an official designation or classification that was previously assigned.
Government agencies redesignate protected areas, military units, or budget categories; organizations redesignate job titles or building uses: The committee voted to redesignate the wetlands as a wildlife sanctuary.
The prefix re- implies the thing already had a designation that's now being replaced.
