Modification to Restricted Areas R– 

3602A and R–3602B; Manhattan, KS 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule, technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Restricted 

Areas R–3602A and R–3602B, 

Manhattan, KS, to accurately identify 

the R–3602A and R–3602B boundary 

segments described using the Chicago, 

Rock Island and Pacific Railroad rightof-way, the R–3602A and R–3602B 

shared boundary segment described 

using Old U.S. Highway 77, and the R– 

3602A and Riley Military Operations 

Area (MOA) shared boundary segment 

described using the Milford Reservoir 

shoreline. The restricted area ceilings 

are also amended to be expressed as 

flight levels (FL), the Marshall Army Air 

Field Radio Beacon (RBN) referenced in 

R–3602B is changed to the Cavalry 

Nondirectional Beacon (NDB), and the 

restricted areas using agency 

information is updated to include the 

military service of the using agency. 

This action does not affect the overall 

restricted area boundaries, designated 

altitudes, times of designation, or 

activities conducted within the 

restricted areas. Additionally, boundary 

segment amendments of the Riley MOA, 

ancillary to the restricted area 

amendments, are being made. Since the 

R–3602A and R–3602B restricted areas 

share boundaries with the Riley MOA, 

the FAA included discussion of the 

Riley MOA amendments in this rule. 

Lastly, the MOA using agency is being 

amended to match the restricted areas 

using agency information. 

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, 

December 10, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

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 makes administrative changes to the 

descriptions of restricted areas R–3602A 

and R–3602B, Fort Riley, KS. 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
61728 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 198 / Wednesday, October 14, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

Background 

In July 1967, the FAA published a 

rule in the Federal Register (32 FR 

10296, July 13, 1967) establishing the 

Manhattan, KS, restricted areas R– 

3602A and R–3602B in support of U.S. 

Army requirements for firing various 

munitions including artillery, mortar, 

and rockets. Then, in November 1979, 

the FAA published another rule in the 

Federal Register (44 FR 68452, 

November 29, 1979) that amended R– 

3602B by reducing airspace in the 

southeast corner of the restricted area 

sufficient to permit an instrument 

approach to Runway 03 at the 

Manhattan Municipal Airport. 

When established in 1967, and 

subsequently amended in 1979, the 

boundary descriptions for R–3602A and 

R–3602B used visual landmarks, 

including the Chicago, Rock Island and 

Pacific Railroad right-of-way; Old U.S. 

Highway 77; and the Milford Reservoir 

shoreline, to identify segments of the 

restricted area boundaries. However, the 

FAA has become aware that the railroad 

track was removed, portions of the 

railroad right-of-way are obscured by 

trees or has been plowed under for 

agriculture, and segments of the Old 

U.S. Highway 77 have been renamed S. 

Main Street in Riley, KS; 12400 Rd W.; 

and Governor Harvey Canyon Road. The 

visual landmarks originally used to 

define the restricted area boundaries are 

no longer useful for determining where 

the restricted area boundaries are 

located or where hazardous activities 

may be occurring to pilots unfamiliar 

with the Riley, KS, local area. 

The FAA worked with the U.S. Army 

to redefine the affected boundary 

segments using geographic (latitude/

longitude) coordinates. New restricted 

area boundary descriptions, using 

geographic coordinates, were developed 

to overlay the boundaries previously 

identified by the visual landmarks that 

no longer exist. As a result of amending 

the restricted area boundaries, 

corresponding amendments to the Riley 

MOA boundary were also deemed 

necessary to ensure the shared boundary 

segments between the restricted areas 

and MOA continued to align. 

Additionally, when R–3602A and R– 

3602B were originally proposed and 

established, the FAA noted that 

numerous aircraft, both fixed and rotary 

wing, would participate in the training 

activities being accomplished. The 

restricted areas were established with 

the ceilings being expressed in feet 

above mean sea level (MSL); however, 

since aircraft operations were planned 

in the restricted areas, in addition to the 

artillery, mortar, and rocket fires being 

conducted, the ceilings should have 

been expressed in flight levels (FL). As 

such, the designated altitudes ceiling 

information listed in the restricted area 

descriptions are being amended 

accordingly. 

Finally, the Marshall Army Air Field 

RBN navigation aid referenced in R– 

3602B was renamed the Cavalry NDB 

and the using agency information for R– 

3602A and R–3602B does not reflect the 

military service of the using agency 

listed, nor does it match the using 

agency for the associated Riley MOA 

which surrounds the restricted areas. To 

overcome these issues, the Marshall 

Army Air Field RBN name in R–3602B 

and the using agency information for the 

restricted areas and MOA are also being 

updated accordingly. 

Military Operations Areas (MOA) 

MOAs are established to separate or 

segregate non-hazardous military flight 

activities from aircraft operating in 

accordance with instrument flight rules 

(IFR), and to advise pilots flying under 

VFR where these activities are 

conducted. IFR aircraft may be routed 

through an active MOA only by 

agreement with the using agency and 

only when air traffic control can provide 

approved separation from the MOA 

activity. VFR pilots are not restricted 

from flying in an active MOA but are 

advised to exercise caution while doing 

so. MOAs are nonregulatory airspace 

areas that are established or amended 

administratively and published in the 

National Flight Data Digest (NFDD) 

rather than through rulemaking 

procedures. When a nonrulemaking 

action is ancillary to a rulemaking 

action, FAA procedures allow for the 

nonrulemaking changes to be included 

in the rulemaking action. Since the 

Riley MOA amendments are ancillary to 

the R–3602A and R–3602B amendments 

being made, the MOA changes are 

addressed in this rule as well as being 

published in the NFDD. 

The Riley MOA boundary description 

is being amended to incorporate the 

geographic coordinates used in the R– 

3602A and R–3602B boundary 

descriptions to redefine the boundary 

segments previously defined by the 

Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific 

Railroad right-of-way, Old U.S. Highway 

77, and the Milford Reservoir shoreline. 

This amendment will ensure shared 

boundaries with the updated restricted 

area descriptions and prevent airspace 

conflict with any potential SUA overlap 

resulting from the redefined boundary 

segments. With the advent of digital 

charting techniques and tools, the 

restricted area and MOA boundary 

coordinates associated with defining the 

pre-existing railroad right-of-way, the 

highway, and the reservoir shoreline are 

able to be accurately reflected by 

geographic coordinates. Lastly, the Riley 

MOA using agency is being amended to 

match the associated restricted areas 

using agency amendment. The amended 

boundaries description, and using 

agency information will be published in 

the NFDD; the rest of the MOA legal 

description is unchanged. 

The Rule 

This action amends 14 CFR part 73 by 

modifying restricted areas R–3602A and 

R–3602B at Fort Riley, KS. The FAA is 

taking this action to accurately define 

the restricted area boundaries using 

geographic coordinates to overcome the 

loss of the visual landmarks used 

previously, amend how the restricted 

area ceilings are expressed, correct the 

Marshall Army Air Field RBN name in 

R–3602B, and update the using agency 

information to include the military 

service. The following restricted area 

boundary, designated altitudes, and 

using agency information is amended as 

indicated: 

The R–3602A boundary segment 

previously described by the Chicago, 

Rock Island and Pacific Railroad rightof-way is redefined using the geographic 

coordinates, ‘‘lat. 39°17′54′′ N., long. 

96°50′12′′ W.; to lat. 39°17′43′′ N., long. 

96°52′27′′ W.; to lat. 39°18′21′′ N., long. 

96°53′49′′ W.; to lat. 39°18′09′′ N., long. 

96°55′04′′ W.; to lat. 39°18′23′′ N., long. 

96°55′59′′ W.; to lat. 39°18′24′′ N., long. 

96°57′39′′ W.’’ 

The R–3602B boundary segment 

previously described by the Chicago, 

Rock Island and Pacific Railroad rightor-way is redefined using the geographic 

coordinates, ‘‘lat. 39°13′15′′ N., long. 

96°42′36′′ W.; to lat. 39°13′59′′ N., long. 

96°45′25′′ W.; to lat. 39°14′34′′ N., long. 

96°45′58′′ W.; to lat. 39°15′20′′ N., long. 

96°46′29′′ W.; to lat. 39°16′57′′ N., long. 

96°48′47′′ W.’’ 

The R–3602A and R–3602B shared 

boundary segment previously described 

by Old U.S. Highway 77 is redefined 

using the geographic coordinates, ‘‘lat. 

39°17′45′′ N., long. 96°49′51′′ W.; to lat. 

39°08′22′′ N., long. 96°49′53′′ W.’’ 

The R–3602A geographic coordinates 

used for identifying where the boundary 

intercepts the main body of the Milford 

Reservoir shoreline are updated to 

reflect ‘‘lat. 39°12′40′′ N., long. 96°57′40′′ 

W.′′ and ‘‘lat. 39°10′58′′ N., long. 

96°54′39′′ W.’’ 

The R–3602A and R–3602B 

designated altitudes are amended to 

express the restricted area ceiling in 

terms of flight levels. The restricted area 

designated altitudes are changed to 

read, ‘‘Surface to FL 290.’’ 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 198 / Wednesday, October 14, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 61729 

The R–3602B boundary information 

reference to the Marshall Army Air 

Field RBN navigation aid is amended to 

reflect the ‘‘Cavalry NDB.’’ 

Lastly, the R–3602A and R–3602B 

using agency information is changed by 

prefacing the existing using agency with 

‘‘U.S. Army.’’ 

This change does not affect the 

boundaries, designated altitudes, 

activities conducted within the 

restricted areas or the actual physical 

location of the airspace; therefore, 

notice and public procedure under 5 

U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. 

The corresponding restricted area 

boundary segment amendments noted 

previously are also made to the Riley 

MOA boundary information, as needed, 

to retain shared boundary segments 

with R–3602A and R–3602B. And, the 

Riley MOA using agency information is 

amended to match the restricted areas 

using agency information. The amended 

Riley MOA boundary and using agency 

information changes addressed in this 

rule will be published in the NFDD as 

a separate action with a matching 

effective date. 

This action does not affect the overall 

restricted area or MOA boundaries; 

designated altitudes; times of 

designation; or activities conducted 

within the restricted areas and MOA. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined that this 

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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: 

Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5– 

6.5d. This action is an administrative 

change to the technical description of 

the affected restricted areas and is not 

expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exists 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.
