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.

Proposed Modification and Revocation 

of Restricted Areas 3007A, B, C, D, and 

E; Townsend, GA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Supplemental notice of 

proposed rulemaking (SNPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

reconfigure the existing restricted area 

(R–3007) over the Townsend Range, GA,

the vertical limits of the area. 

Additionally, this action proposes to 

change the using agency of the area, and 

increase the time of designation. The 

FAA is proposing this action to better 

accommodate Department of Defense 

(DOD) training requirements and enable 

more efficient use of the airspace. This 

action supplements a previously 

published document.

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before March 19, 2004.

Persons interested in being placed on 

a mailing list for future NPRM’s should 

call the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking, 

(202) 367–9677, for a copy of Advisory 

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

Background 

On December 5, 1996, the FAA 

published an NPRM to modify the 

5100 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 22 / Tuesday, February 3, 2004 / Proposed Rules 

restricted airspace area over Townsend 

Range, GA complex, by reducing the 

lateral size of the area, raising the 

vertical limits, and increasing the time 

of designation. In addition, the FAA 

proposed to change the using agency of 

the area (61 FR 64494). The comment 

period for this proposal closed on 

January 21, 1997. No comments were 

received in response to the notice. 

On June 18, 1997, the proponent 

requested that the FAA suspend further 

action on this proposal pending the 

proponent’s completion of additional 

airspace and environmental studies of 

the Coastal Military Operations Area 

proposal. Considering the extended time 

that has elapsed since the original 

NPRM was published, the FAA is now 

providing this supplemental notice in 

order to solicit additional public 

comment on the proposal. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 73 (part 73) to modify 

Restricted Areas 3007A, B, C, D, and E 

(R–3007A, B, C, D, and E), at Townsend 

Range, GA, to better accommodate DOD 

training requirements, eliminate 

restricted airspace no longer required 

for military training, and enable more 

efficient use of airspace. 

This proposed amendment would 

delete all restricted airspace currently 

contained in R–3007A, and 

approximately half of the restricted 

airspace currently described as R–

3007B. The remaining existing restricted 

airspace would be redesignated as R–

3007A, B, or C. Specifically, R–3007E 

would be revoked and its circular 

surface target area would be designated 

as R–3007A. The current R–3007D 

would be designated as R–3007B, and 

the existing R–3007C would be revised 

to incorporate the remaining portion of 

the former R–3007B. 

A new restricted area, R–3007D, 

would be established above the 

proposed R–3007A, B, and C raising the 

ceiling of restricted airspace from 

13,000 feet above sea level (MSL) to 

flight level (FL) 250. The purpose of the 

proposed R–3007D is to accommodate 

high altitude, high angle weapons 

delivery training. 

This action also proposes a six hour 

daily increase in the time of designation 

for the revised Townsend Range 

complex from the current ‘‘Monday–

Friday, 0800–1700 local time, other 

times by NOTAM at least 24 hours in 

advance,’’ to ‘‘0700–2200 local time 

Monday–Friday, other times by NOTAM 

at least 24 hours in advance.’’ This 

change is proposed to permit more 

flexible range utilization and 

accommodate increased night training 

requirements. Additionally, the 

proposed increase would more 

accurately inform other National 

Airspace System users of time periods 

when the range may be in use, as well 

as reduce NOTAM system workload. 

Finally, the using agency name for all 

sub-areas would be changed from 

‘‘Savannah Air National Guard Training 

Site, Garden City, GA,’’ to ‘‘ANG, 

Savannah Combat Readiness Training 

Center, GA,’’ to reflect the current 

organizational name. The Townsend 

Range complex will be a joint-use 

airspace and the restricted areas will be 

returned to the controlling agency on a 

real-time basis when not required for 

military activities. 

Section 73.30 of part 73 of the Federal 

Aviation Regulations was republished 

in FAA Order 7400.8L dated October 7, 

2003.

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 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. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subjected to the 

appropriate environmental analysis in 

accordance with the FAA Order 

1050.1D, Policies and Procedures for 

Considering Environmental Impacts, 

prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

Discussion 

On December 23, 2003, the CVCC 

wrote to Marion C. Blakey, FAA 

Administrator, and attached a Voluntary 

Best Practices Agreement Regarding the 

Potential for Electromagnetic 

Interference Upon FAA Facilities (Best 

Practices Agreement). The CVCC is a 

coalition of wireless carriers, tower 

companies, and trade associations that 

currently own or manage a majority of 

the radio towers throughout the United 

States. The FAA is reviewing the 

submitted Best Practices Agreement and 

will consider all submitted comments in 

determining whether any changes are 

warranted to current FAA notification 

policies with respect to co-location of 

antenna systems, for certain designated 

frequencies, that are within one nautical 

mile of FAA facilities.
