ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of the FAA’s Adoption of 

the Missile Defense Agency’s Final

decision to establish additional 

restricted areas to protect aviation from 

high-intensity radiated fields (HIRF) 

generated during the LRDR testing and 

operation, implement temporary flight 

restrictions (TFR) until the restricted 

areas are in effect, and make changes to 

federal airways and instrument flight 

procedures to accommodate the new 

restricted areas.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The MDA prepared an EIS to evaluate 

the potential environmental impacts 

associated with the MDA’s proposed 

modification of operational 

requirements and procedures for the 

LRDR located at CAFS, Alaska.1 The 

change in the LRDR operation 

procedures would create a hazard in 

areas of the National Airspace System 

where the HIRF from the LRDR 

operations would exceed FAA 

certification standards for aircraft 

electrical and electronic systems. The 

EIS also evaluated the potential 

environmental impacts of the following 

actions proposed by the FAA to address 

this hazard: (1) Establishment of six 

additional restricted areas in the 

vicinity of CAFS; (2) implementation of 

TFRs until the restricted areas are in 

effect; and (3) changes to federal airways 

and instrument flight procedures to 

accommodate the new restricted areas. 

As a cooperating agency on the EIS, the 

FAA coordinated closely with the MDA 

and actively participated in the 

preparation of the EIS. In accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures, and regulations and 

guidance of the Council on 

Environmental Quality, the FAA 

conducted an independent evaluation 

and analysis of the EIS and adopted it 

for the purpose of making a decision on 

its proposed actions. The FAA’s 

adoption and decision are documented 

in the Adoption/ROD. 

Notice of Availability 

The Adoption/ROD is available on the 

FAA’s website at https://www.faa.gov/ 

air_traffic/environmental_issues/media/ 

alaska_eis.pdf and upon request by 

contacting Paula Miller at: Airspace 

Policy and Regulations Group, Office of 

Airspace Services, Federal Aviation 

Administration, 800 Independence 

Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20591; 

telephone: (202) 267–7378. 

Right of Appeal 

The FAA’s Adoption/ROD constitutes 

a final order of the FAA Administrator 

and is subject to exclusive judicial 

review under 49 U.S.C. 46110 by the 

U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the 

District of Columbia or the U.S. Circuit 

Court of Appeals for the circuit in 

which the person contesting the 

decision resides or has its principal 

place of business. Any party having 

substantial interest in this order may 

apply for review of the decision by 

filing a petition for review in the 

appropriate U.S. Court of Appeals no 

later than 60 days after the order is 

issued in accordance with the 

provisions of 49 U.S.C. 46110. Any 

party seeking to stay implementation of 

the Adoption/ROD must file an 

application with the FAA prior to 

seeking judicial relief as provided in 

Rule 18(a) of the Federal Rules of 

Appellate Procedure.
