This rule updates the national plan for security control of air traffic during air defense emergencies and has direct relationship with the June 22, 2006, National Security Presidential Directive/NSPD-47 and Homeland Security Presidential Directive/HSPD-16, and is authorized by the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 301, 552, Executive Order 12656 (“Assignment of Emergency Preparedness Responsibilities”, November 18, 1988), as amended. The national plan defines the responsibilities and actions of agencies and personnel within the Departments of Defense, Transportation and Homeland Security with no effect to the public.

DoD has determined that good cause exists for exemption from public comment as the published change to 32 CFR part 245 is in direct compliance with current Presidential Directives, does not set a precedent in updating the National Plan, and any delay in acting on this request would be detrimental to U.S. aviation security and national commerce.

(i) DoD Directive 5030.19,[1] “DoD Responsibilities on Federal Aviation and National Airspace System Matters,” outlines DoD/ NORAD responsibilities for the development of plans and policies in concert with the DOT, FAA and USCG for the establishment of a system for identification and emergency security control of air traffic.
(g) The rules/procedures governing Special Use Airspace (SUA) will remain Start Printed Page 61892in effect until notified by the appropriate military authority. The appropriate military authority will address SUA use in the ESCAT activation message.
(l) To ensure implementation actions can be taken expeditiously, ESCAT tests will be conducted periodically, but at least annually in accordance with § 245.31 of this part.
(5) Issue security directives describing ESCAT and its purpose for use by airport and aircraft operators.Start Printed Page 61893

(4) Flight inspection activity in connection with airway and airport facilities.Start Printed Page 61894
(a) The originator of an aircraft flight operation under the EATPL shall be responsible for determining and verifying that the mission meets the appropriate definition and priority in accordance with the list described in § 245.22 of this part , and ensuring a security check of crew, cargo and aircraft has been completed prior to take off.
(d) Priorities for air traffic clearances required under the ESCAT plan are not to be confused with civil priorities assigned to general aviation civil aircraft under the State and Regional Disaster Airlift (SARDA) plan. SARDA priorities are designed to provide for controlled use of civil aircraft capability, and they have secondary significance when the EATPL for the movement of aircraft is in effect.
(e) Exceptions to EATPL. (1) DoD aircraft in priorities three through seven that do not meet EATPL restrictions may request an exemption from the appropriate military authority. For the contiguous 48 U.S. states, Alaska, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and Canada, requests shall be submitted to the appropriate NORAD Sector. For Hawaii, Guam, Wake Island, other U.S. Pacific Territories, and Pacific oceanic airspace over which FAA has air traffic control jurisdiction by international agreement, requests shall be submitted to the designated AADC.
