Establishment of Restricted Area R– 

2103C and Amendment of Restricted 

Area R–2103A and R–2103B; Fort

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends restricted 

area R–2103A and R–2103B, Fort 

Novosel, AL, by amending the internal 

altitude sub-divisions and establishing 

restricted area R–2103C to match daily 

mission requirements. These changes do 

not add additional designated restricted 

area airspace. 

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, April 

17, 2025.

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 amends 

restricted area airspace at Fort Novosel, 

AL, to enhance aviation safety and align 

with essential United States (U.S.) Army 

activities. 

Background 

The U.S. Army initiated a request to 

the Jacksonville Air Route Traffic 

Control Center (ARTCC), who 

concurred, to modify the internal 

altitudes that vertically subdivides 

restricted areas R–2103A and R–2103B 

to align with daily mission requirements 

and common usage. 

Restricted area R–2103A and R–2103B 

share the same external boundary that 

overlay each other. Restricted area R– 

2103A had designated altitudes from the 

surface to but not including 10,000 feet 

mean sea level (MSL), and restricted 

area R–2103B had designated altitudes 

from 10,000 feet MSL to 15,000 feet 

MSL. This action changes the internal 

vertical subdivision of restricted areas 

R–2103A and R–2103B from 10,000 feet 

MSL to 5,000 feet MSL. Additionally, 

the ceiling of restricted area R–2103B 

would be lowered from 15,000 feet MSL 

to 10,000 feet MSL. Restricted area R– 

2103C is established with designated 

altitudes from 10,000 feet MSL to 15,000 

feet MSL and shares the same external 

boundary as restricted areas R–2103A 

and R–2103B so that each would 

overlay the other. The result of 

amendments to the vertical subdivisions 

of these restricted area airspaces allows 

for maximum joint use of the airspace 

by non-participant aircraft when U.S. 

Army training doesn’t require all 

designated altitudes. 

These changes do not represent any 

changes in lateral boundaries, 

operations, or new equipment being 

utilized in the airspace; nor does it 

reflect any increase in the number of 

operations that would be conducted. 

The Rule 

This action amends 14 CFR part 73 by 

amending restricted area R–2103A and 

R–2103B, Fort Novosel, AL, by 

amending the internal altitude subdivisions and establishing restricted 

area R–2103C to match daily mission 

requirements. 

Restricted areas R–2103A and R– 

2103B share common boundaries that 

overlay each other. The designated 

altitudes for R–2103A are changed to 

‘‘surface to but not including 5,000 feet 

MSL’’. The designated altitudes for R– 

2103B are changed to ‘‘5,000 feet MSL 

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

Restricted area R–2103C is established, 

and it shares a common boundary with 

restricted areas R–2103A and R–2103B 

to overlay each other. The designated 

altitudes for R–2103C are ‘‘10,000 feet 

MSL to 15,000 feet MSL’’. 

This action consists of administrative 

internal altitude amendments only and 

does not affect the boundaries, total 

volume of airspace, time of designation, 

or activities conducted in the airspace. 

Therefore, notice and public procedure 

under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) is unnecessary. 

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 of amending internal altitude 

sub-divisions in R–2103A and R–2103B, 

and establishment of restricted area R– 

2103C, qualifies for categorical 

exclusion under the National 

Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 

4321 et seq.) and its implementing 

regulations at 40 CFR part 1500, and in 

accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures, paragraph 5–6.5a, which 

categorically excludes from further 

environmental impact review 

rulemaking actions that designate or 

modify classes of airspace areas, 

airways, routes, and reporting points

(see 14 CFR part 71, Designation of 

Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas;

6.5d—Modification of the technical 

description of special use airspace 

(SUA) that does not alter the 

dimensions, altitudes, or times of 

designation of the airspace (such as 

changes in designation of the 

controlling or using agency, or 

correction of typographical errors). In 

accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

paragraph 5–2 regarding Extraordinary 

Circumstances, the FAA has reviewed 

this action for factors and circumstances 

in which a normally categorically 

excluded action may have a significant 

environmental impact requiring further 

analysis. Accordingly, the FAA has 

determined that no extraordinary 

circumstances exist that warrant 

preparation of an environmental 

assessment or environmental impact 

statement.
