restricted area R–3804B, Fort Polk, LA, 

and raise the restricted area ceiling to, 

but not including 10,000 feet mean sea 

level (MSL). The expanded restricted 

airspace would be used to contain new 

live fire ranges and support mission 

requirements of the U.S. Army in order 

to fully exploit the capabilities of 

modern weapons systems and complex 

training scenarios that replicate the 

conditions encountered during military 

deployments today. This action also 

proposes time of designation changes to 

R–3804A and R–3804B to better reflect 

when the restricted areas are required 

and in use by the U.S. Army and when 

the airspace is available for use by 

nonparticipants. This action would 

incorporate editorial corrections to the 

R–3804A, R–3804B, and R–3804C legal 

descriptions.

Background 

Joint Readiness Training Center 

(JRTC) Fort Polk, located in Fort Polk, 

LA, is one of two U.S. Army training 

sites for conducting realistic force on 

force exercises. Units typically rotate 

through Fort Polk as one of their final 

preparations for deployments 

worldwide. The Fort Polk training 

environment allows the integration of 

ground and air forces using the most 

modern weapons and tactics in highly 

complex scenarios. Much of the training 

is accomplished with live ordinance 

that possess capabilities which exceed 

the current dimensions of R–3804B. 

In order to fully exploit the 

capabilities of modern weapons systems 

and provide the required training 

scenarios that replicate conditions 

encountered during deployments today, 

it is necessary to expand R–3804B 

laterally and vertically. New weapons 

ranges planned for use would contain 

hazardous artillery and mortar fires 

reaching a maximum altitude of 9,400 

feet MSL. Planned firing ranges would 

also present a vertical hazard to 

nonparticipants above the current R– 

3804B ceiling of 3,000 feet MSL. Several 

of these planned ranges are located 

within the proposed lateral expansion of 

R–3804B, outside the existing restricted 

area boundary, and would enable 

employment of the weapon systems at 

realistic distances from the target. The 

proposed airspace expansion would also 

permit the use of non-eye safe targeting 

lasers from airborne platforms at 

distances that replicate modern combat 

tactics. 

The land underlying the proposed 

lateral expansion of R–3804B is owned 

by the U.S. Army and the proposed 

vertical expansion of the restricted area 

would continue to be contained within 

the Warrior 1 Low and Warrior 1 High 

Military Operations Areas (MOAs), 

which rise upward from 100 feet above 

the ground to flight level (FL) 180. 

Additionally, R–3804A abuts the 

proposed expansion of R–3804B 

immediately to the east and rises from 

the surface to FL 180; thus, creating a 

shadow in which the proposed R–3804B 

would lie. 

Currently, R–3804B lacks the lateral 

and vertical dimensions necessary to 

contain the extended weapons 

employment ranges and altitudes, and 

laser training profiles, used today in 

combat operations. This deficiency 

reduces the U.S. Army’s mission 

integration training in the employment 

of air and ground units during the final 

stages of deployment preparation. The 

proposed expansion of R–3804B would 

provide the necessary live-fire 

capability supporting modern combat 

tactics and is critical to conducting 

realistic full mission profile training. 

Upon review of the R–3804 restricted 

area complex, additional proposed 

amendments to the time of designation 

of R–3804A and R–3804B were 

identified to better reflect when the 

restricted areas are required and in use 

by the U.S. Army and when the airspace 

is no longer required for its designated 

purpose. And, editorial changes to 

correct the R–3804A, R–3804B, and R– 


rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
57488 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 186 / Thursday, September 25, 2014 / Proposed Rules 

3804C using agency information were 

also identified. 

The proposed amendments to R– 

3804A, R–3804B, and R–3804C are 

addressed below. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to 14 CFR part 73 to expand the lateral 

and vertical dimensions of restricted 

area R–3804B, Fort Polk, LA. The 

proposed R–3804B would be the 

minimum size required for containing 

hazardous mortar, gunnery, and non-eye 

safe laser targeting activities conducted 

there. The actual usage of the restricted 

area is estimated to be continuous for 

two weeks out of each month during 

JRTC military rotations. The proposed 

R–3804B amendments are described 

below. 

The proposed R–3804B boundary 

would extend the current eastern 

boundary northward to match the 

northwestern corner of R–3804A at 

31°08′43′′ N. latitude. The northern 

boundary would then begin at that 

matched northwestern corner of R– 

3804A and run west along the 31°08′43′′ 

N. latitude to intercept the 93°11′00′′ W. 

longitude. The proposed R–3804B 

western boundary would then begin at 

that intercepted point (lat. 31°08′43′′ N., 

long. 93°11′00′′ W.) and run southward 

along the 93°11′00′′ W. longitude to 

intercept the northern boundary of the 

current R–3804B at lat. 31°04′56′′ N., 

long. 93°11′00′′ W. The remaining R– 

3804B boundary information would be 

unchanged. 

The proposed R–3804B designated 

altitudes would be changed from 

‘‘surface to 3,000 feet MSL’’ to ‘‘surface 

to but not including 10,000 feet MSL.’’ 

This is necessary to ensure containment 

of the hazardous artillery and mortar 

fires with a maximum altitude of 9,400 

feet MSL. 

Additionally, the proposed time of 

designation for the amended R–3804B 

would be changed from ‘‘Continuous’’ 

to ‘‘By NOTAM.’’ During periods when 

the proposed restricted area is not 

needed by the using agency for its 

designated purpose, the airspace would 

be returned to the controlling agency for 

access by other airspace users. This 

proposed amendment would ensure the 

restricted area is available to the U.S. 

Army when needed, continuously 

during training rotations, and provide a 

better indication to nonparticipants 

when the R–3804B airspace is active 

and when it is available for use by the 

public. 

Similarly, the proposed time of 

designation for R–3804A would be 

changed from ‘‘Continuous’’ to ‘‘By 

NOTAM’’ to match the proposed R– 

3804B time of designation. Again, 

during periods when the restricted area 

is not needed by the using agency for its 

designated purpose, the airspace would 

be returned to the controlling agency for 

access by other airspace users. This 

proposed amendment would ensure R– 

3804A is available to the U.S. Army 

when needed, continuously during 

training rotations, and provide a better 

indication to nonparticipants when the 

R–3804A airspace is active and when it 

is available for use by the public. 

Lastly, this action proposes 

administrative changes to the using 

agency name for R–3804A, R–3804B, 

and R–3804C to incorporate the military 

service component of the using agency 

in the using agency name and to the 

designated altitudes and time of 

designation for R–3804C to remove 

unnecessary verbiage. The using agency 

information change for the three 

restricted areas would simply preface 

the existing using agency information 

with ‘‘U.S. Army.’’ The designated 

altitudes information change for R– 

3804C would remove the word ‘‘up’’ 

and the time of designation information 

change for R–3804C would remove the 

words ‘‘As published.’’ These are purely 

administrative changes that do not affect 

the scheduling, use, or activities 

conducted within the restricted areas. 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. 

Therefore, this proposed regulation: (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 will only affect air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this proposed 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. 

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 would modify the restricted area 

airspace at Fort Polk, Louisiana, to 

enhance aviation safety and 

accommodate essential U.S. Army 

training requirements. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subjected to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures,’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 

23, 2014, the Department published a 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) 

on transparency of airline ancillary fees 

and other consumer protection issues 

which sought comment on a number of 

proposals to enhance protections for air 

travelers and improve the air travel 

environment. Comments on the matters 

proposed were to be received 90 days 

after publication of the NPRM, or by 

August 21, 2014. On July 31, 2014, the 

Department extended the comment 

period to September 22, 2014 as it was 

persuaded that more time was needed 

because of the complexity of the 

proposals. With this document, the 

Department is further extending the 

comment period to September 29, 2014 

to provide all interested parties two full 

weeks to review the summary of an 

August 7 meeting that DOT posted in 

the rulemaking docket on September 15, 

2014, affording commenters the 

opportunity, if necessary, to revise their 

comments prior to submission, or to 

supplement any previously filed 

comments. We do not anticipate any 

further extension of the comment period 

for this rulemaking, but we will 

consider comments filed after the close 

of the comment period to the extent 

possible. 

Issued this 19th day of September, 2014, in
