Proposed Establishment of and 

Modification to Restricted Areas; Fort 

Sill, OK 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

establish 2 new restricted areas 

(R–5601G and R–5601H) to expand the 

special use airspace (SUA) complex 

located at Fort Sill, OK, to provide 

additional maneuvering airspace for 

current and planned training activities 

determined to be hazardous to nonparticipating aircraft. Specifically, the 

proposed restricted areas would provide 

participating fighter or bomber aircraft 

with laser-firing and maneuvering 

airspace when training at the Falcon 

Bombing Range contained in R–5601C, 

at the West Range Target Area contained 

in R–5601B, or at the East Range Target 

Area contained in R–5601A. In addition, 

the using agency for all Fort Sill 

restricted areas would be updated to 

reflect the current organization tasked 

with that responsibility. The U.S. Army 

requested that the FAA take this action 

to allow realistic training on current 

tactics developed and refined during 

recent combat operations for employing 

hazardous targeting laser systems and 

weapons capabilities at longer ranges 

from the target area. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before December 3, 2015.

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

Background 

Military use of the airspace at Fort 

Sill, OK, can be traced back to 1949. 

Today, the Fort Sill SUA complex 

consists of six restricted areas, 

designated R–5601A, R–5601B, R– 

5601C, R–5601D, R–5601E, and R– 

5601F. The three ranges (Falcon Range, 

West Range, and East Range) contained 

within the Fort Sill SUA complex are 

used for a wide variety of military air 

and ground activities; including, but not 

limited to, air-to-surface weapons 

delivery training, laser systems, 

artillery, and joint air and ground forces 

exercises. Weapons events include 

high-, medium-, and low-altitude 

bombing runs, to include level, 

climbing, and diving deliveries. Today, 

real-world combat tactics for employing 

targeting lasers and weapons systems at 

distances farther from the target are 

driving the requirement for increased 

lateral dimensions of the Fort Sill SUA 

complex to support aircrew training in 

laser employment and weapons delivery 

tactics. Although the R–5601A, R– 

5601B, R–5601C, and R–5601F airspace 

areas extend to a maximum altitude of 

40,000 feet mean sea level (MSL), the 

relatively small north to south 

dimensions of the restricted areas 

(approximately 9 nautical miles (NM) at 

its widest point) is not sufficient to 

provide the required distance from 

targets needed by aircrews employing 

current combat laser targeting or 

weapons deliveries tactics. Since there 

is no alternative SUA complex within 

200 NM where combat lasers may be 

employed, aircrew training is 

significantly restricted at the Fort Sill 

ranges. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to 14 CFR part 73 to establish 2 new 

restricted areas (designated R–5601G 

and R–5601H) at Fort Sill, OK. This 

action would establish restricted area R– 

5601G with a ceiling to, but not 

including, 8,000 feet MSL under the 

Washita Military Operations Area 

(MOA), and establish restricted area R– 

5601H with a ceiling of Flight Level (FL) 

400 to match the adjacent restricted 

areas; thus, expanding the lateral limits 

of restricted area airspace at the Fort Sill 

SUA complex. Restricted area R–5601G 

would abut the existing restricted area 

complex to the north, underlying the 

Washita MOA, and extend from 500 feet 

above ground level (AGL) to, but not 

including, 8,000 feet MSL. R–5601G 

would extend approximately three 

quarters of the existing restricted area 

complex northward, between 5 NM to 

11 NM, to provide the required 

expanded lateral space from the current 

range boundaries. Restricted area R– 

5601H would extend from the surface to 

FL400. R–5601H would fill a small 

airspace area surrounded by two 

continuously active restricted areas (R– 

5601A and R–5601B) extending from 

the surface to FL400 and a MOA 

extending from 8,000 feet MSL to, but 

not including, FL180. Additionally, 

when active, R–5601H would overlay 

the Fort Sill post and a portion of the 

Class D airspace supporting the nonjoint use military airfield located at Fort 

Sill. 

The two new restricted areas would 

allow participating aircraft to maneuver 

within the current Fort Sill Approach 

Control Airspace and contain the 

hazardous combat laser energy (not eyesafe) within restricted airspace. As 

proposed, R–5601G would only be used 

for aircraft maneuvering and combat 

laser targeting employment and R– 

5601H would only be used for aircraft 

conducting Close Air Support (CAS) 

training. There would be no changes to 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 201 / Monday, October 19, 2015 / Proposed Rules 63155 

the existing pattern of firing, ordnance 

delivery runs, or weapons impact areas 

and all weapons release would continue 

to occur in R–5601A, R–5601B, or R– 

5601C, as they are now. Additionally, 

no supersonic flight will occur. 

In addition to the proposed 

establishment of R–5601G and R– 

5601H, the following minor changes to 

the descriptions of the six existing Fort 

Sill restricted areas would be made. The 

using agency for R–5601A–E would be 

changed from ‘‘U.S. Army, Commanding 

General, Fort Sill, OK,’’ to ‘‘U.S. Army, 

Commanding General, U.S. Army Fires 

Center of Excellence (USAFCOE), Fort 

Sill, OK.’’ The using agency for R–5601F 

would be changed from ‘‘Commanding 

General, United States Army Field 

Artillery Center (USAFACFS), Fort Sill, 

OK,’’ to ‘‘U.S. Army, Commanding 

General, U.S. Army Fires Center of 

Excellence (USAFCOE), Fort Sill, OK.’’ 

This change would reflect the current 

organizational responsibilities. The new 

using agency would also apply to the 

proposed R–5601G and R–5601H. The 

boundaries, designated altitudes, times 

of designation, and controlling agency 

information for restricted areas R– 

5601A–F would not be changed by this 

proposal. 

The FAA does not anticipate any 

aeronautical impacts as a result of this 

proposed action since Fort Sill 

Approach Control has radar coverage 

over the proposed restricted areas and 

already controls the airspace from 

surface to 7,000 feet MSL. Procedures 

will be established to continue allowing 

non-participating aircraft access to the 

airspace even when the restricted areas 

are in use. Pilots seeking information 

about the activity status of R–5601G and 

R–5601H should contact Fort Sill 

Approach Control on the frequency 

listed in the ‘‘Special Use Airspace’’ 

panel of the Dallas—Ft. Worth Sectional 

Aeronautical Chart. Fort Sill Approach 

Control will continue to provide VFR 

traffic advisories, as they do today, to 

non-participating aircraft requesting 

them. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

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. It, 

therefore: (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. 

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.
