SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

183a(d)(2)(B) of title 10, United States 

Code, provides that, solely for purposes 

of informing preliminary reviews under 

section 183a(c)(1) and early outreach 

efforts under section 183a(c)(5), DoD 

shall identify distinct geographic areas 

selected as proposed locations for 

projects filed, or for projects that are 

reasonably expected to be filed in the 

near future, with the Secretary of 

Transportation pursuant to section 

44178 of title 49, United States Code, 

where the Secretary of Defense can 

demonstrate such projects could have 

an adverse impact on military 

operations and readiness, including 

military training routes, and categorize 

the risk of adverse impact in such areas. 

Section 183a defines adverse impact on 

military operations and readiness as any 

impact upon military operations and 

readiness, including flight operations, 

research, development, testing, and 

evaluation and training, that is 

demonstrable and likely to impair or 

degrade the ability of the armed forces 

to perform their warfighting missions. 

The identification of a GAOC does not 

equate to a determination that a project 

in the GAOC would result in an 

unacceptable risk to the national 

security of the United States. It only 

means that such a project would have 

an adverse impact and requires further 

review by the Military Aviation and 

Installation Assurance Siting 

Clearinghouse. 

The Boardman GAOC is identified 

due to possible effects upon two main 

DoD military missions. The Naval 

Weapons Systems Training Facility at 

Boardman and its associated airspace 

are the U.S. Navy’s primary resource for 

all airborne electronic attack aircraft air 

combat maneuver training. This training 

includes low level aircraft operations. 

Tall structures, such as wind turbines 

and electrical transmission lines, 

constructed under Restricted Airspace 

(R–5701) and Military Training Routes 

will prevent the U.S. Navy from 

fulfilling the training mission. Secondly, 

the Fossil common air route 

surveillance radar (CARSR) (a long 

range radar) in Fossil, Oregon, is a vital 

resource for the North American 

Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). 

NORAD defends Canada and the United 

States against air threats, and an 

accurate ‘‘air picture’’ is essential for 

NORAD to accomplish its air defense 

mission. Rotating wind turbine blades 

can appear as unwanted false targets 

(clutter) and desensitize the radar, 

resulting in degraded target acquisition 

and tracking. Much of the information 

and data used to establish the GAOC for 

the Fossil CARSR is not available for 

public review due to security concerns. 

The NAS Patuxent River GAOC is 

identified due to possible effects upon 

two DoD military missions. The 

missions that could be degraded or 

impaired due to wind turbines are the 

Advanced Dynamic Aircraft 

Measurement System (ADAMS) and the 

Digital Airport Surveillance Radar 

(DASR), both located at NAS Patuxent 

River. ADAMS is a national test asset 

and the Department of Navy’s only 

open-air dynamic radar cross section 

(RCS) measurement facility supporting 

all military services as well as other 

government agencies. ADAMS is used to 

make precise ground-to-air radar 

signature measurements during aircraft 

maneuvers. The DASR is used to 

facilitate critical safety of flight control 

instructions for all DoD and civilian 

aircraft that operate within the confines 

of the NAS Patuxent River Air Traffic 

Control (ATC) Area of Responsibility 

(AoR). ATC services require the ability 

to use radar to positively identify targets 

that enter, work within, and depart the 

AoR to prevent mid-air collision and 

loss of life. The DASR is also utilized by 

ATC to monitor air traffic that might 

attempt to illegally enter the 

Washington, DC Flight Restricted Zone, 

thereby posing a significant threat to the 

national security. Rotating wind turbine 

blades can appear as unwanted false 

targets (clutter) and desensitize the 

radar, resulting in degraded target 

acquisition and tracking for both the 

ADAMS and DASR at NAS Patuxent 

River. 

Comments received by the end of the 

comment period will be considered 

when making the final findings on the 

designation of these proposed GAOCs. 

Any comment, if applying to only one
