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 would establish restricted area airspace at Fairbanks, 
AK to support the United States' Air Force and Army to provide larger 
airspace to more realistically conduct service and joint hazardous 
training activities, consistent with current and future combat 
environments.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No. 
FAA-2016-9479 in the Federal Register (82 FR 12526; March 6, 2017), 
establishing restricted areas R-2205A, R-2205B, R-2205C, R-2205D, R-
2205E, R-2205F, R-2205G, R-2205H, R-2205J, and R-2205K, Fairbanks, AK, 
in support of the United States Air Force and Army to provide more 
realistic airspace for hazardous activities within the JPARC complex. 
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. Ten comments 
were received; seven from individuals, two aviation groups (Aircraft 
Owners and Pilots Association [AOPA] and Alaska Air Carriers 
Association), and one from Alyeska Pipeline Service Company (APSC).

Discussion of Comments

    In their response to the NPRM, the commenters raised several 
substantive issues. Two commenters stated they did not agree with the 
proposal but did not state a reason for their objection or an 
aeronautical suggestion to consider, these comments were not addressed. 
Alaska Air Carriers Association commented on R-2201 Ft. Greely Alaska, 
their comments were addressed in that rulemaking action's supplemental 
NPRM. The comments are categorized in the following groupings: (1) 
Safety, (2) financial burden cost for fuel (3) airspace design being 
overly complex; (4) Trans-Alaska Pipeline and (5) Chena River VFR 
corridor.
    Having considered the issues and recommendations provided by the 
commenters, the FAA offers the following responses.

Safety

    Four individuals commented that the expansion would be unsafe due 
to the rapidly changing weather conditions and terrain in the area.
    The FAA does not agree. The expansion from the current restricted 
area's western boundary is 10 miles to the west abutting the Class D 
airspace over Eielson Air Force Base and 3 miles to the north, with the 
airspace divided into low altitude and high altitude subdivisions. 
Based on public comment, the subdivisions and stratification were 
modified to enable the using agency (U.S. Army, AK, Joint Base 
Elemendorf-Richardson) to release volumes of airspace to the 
controlling agency (FAA Fairbanks Approach Control) for use by the 
public when hazardous activities are not scheduled. Aircraft have the 
availability to fly through the inactive restricted areas when the low 
subdivisions are released by the using agency. Additionally, 
information provided by the FAA aeronautical study and Eielson Air 
Force Base (AFB) air traffic control facility concluded very little 
civilian traffic traverses the east side of the Eielson Class D where 
the restricted area has been expanded; conversely, west of and through 
Eielson Air Force base remains available to IFR and VFR aircraft. 
Moreover, the expanded areas of the restricted areas are generally over 
the higher ground in the area, allowing civil traffic the safety of 
maneuvering in the lower ground around the restricted area expansion. 
At times, however, aircraft may be required to maneuver north or south 
earlier or later than desired to avoid an active restricted area.
    Lastly, this proposal was analyzed by a safety risk management 
panel that included representatives from AOPA and Alaska Airmen 
Association. No hazards were identified with the expansion of this 
airspace.

Financial Burden Cost for Fuel

    An individual commented that the expansion would be a major 
financial cost of aviation fuel for pilots transitioning from Fairbanks 
to the eastern portions of the state and to Canada.
    The FAA does not agree. For pilots transitioning between Fairbanks 
and eastern Alaska or Canada, minor adjustments to flight plans may be 
required when the restricted area is active. In most cases, flight 
paths will not change significantly (if at all) because civilian 
aircraft already operate around the pre-existing restricted airspace 
and the portions of the Viper and Yukon military operation areas 
(active from 8:00 to 18:00, Monday through Friday), within which the 
restricted area expansion is established. Therefore, there will be no 
significant change in cost to IFR civil aircraft that are already 
routed around these airspace areas consistent with air traffic control 
procedures. Additionally, as stated earlier in this document, the 
aeronautical study indicated that very little civilian traffic 
traverses east of Eielson. Therefore, VFR aircraft are minimally 
impacted, and they have the option to fly through and west of Eielson 
AFB.
    In an effort to minimize impact to non-participating aircraft, the 
restricted area incorporates subdivisions and stratification. Based on 
public comment, the subdivisions and stratification were modified to 
enable the using agency to release airspace to the controlling agency 
for public use when hazardous activities are not scheduled.

Airspace Design Being Overly Complex

    AOPA commented the new proposed restricted areas proposed would 
create a complex matrix of airspace segments. AOPA is concerned that 
the complexity of this matrix is confusing and will lead to pilots 
inadvertently penetrating the airspace.
    The FAA agrees with this comment and has realigned the airspace 
into smaller rectangle subdivisions instead of large 45-degree slanted 
subdivisions with irregular boundaries. This redesign of the airspace 
proposed in the NPRM was discussed extensively at the FAA's safety risk 
management panel where numerous aviation groups, which included AOPA, 
identified no hazards to these redesigned subdivisions. The redesign 
added two more restricted area subdivisions simplifying the design, 
while reducing the overall size of the R-2205 A through K complex in 
response to other comments discussed later in this document.

Trans-Alaska Pipeline

    AOPA and APSC commented on the availability of the Trans-Alaskan 
Pipeline to be available for inspection and aerial security patrols for 
Alaska's transportation infrastructure. The proposal would include the 
route over the pipeline.
    The FAA agrees and has adjusted the southwest boundary of the 
restricted

[[Page 39962]]

area complex (R-2205 D) to ensure the pipeline is not in the restricted 
areas and aerial access is available. Chena River VFR corridor AOPA 
commented on an existing VFR corridor along the Chena River valley. The 
valley is one of the most popular routes between Fairbanks and the 
communities of Central Circle Hot Springs, Chena Hot Springs and Circle 
City. Limiting access to this corridor would cause inadvertent airspace 
penetrations and will cause pilots to fly one side of the river raising 
the possibility of a mid-air collision, rather than allowing opposite 
direction traffic to utilize both sides of the Chena river valley to 
deconflict.
    The FAA agrees with AOPA and has adjusted the northwest boundary of 
the restricted area complex (R-2205 B) to allow the VFR corridor free 
access and two miles of maneuverability from the restricted area on 
either side of the Chena river valley.

Military Operations Areas (MOA)

    In the NPRM, the FAA acknowledged that the proposed R-2205A, B, C, 
D, E, F, G, H, J, and K restricted areas, if established, would be 
designated within the existing Viper A, Viper B, and Yukon 1 Military 
Operations Areas (MOAs). To address potential airspace issues and 
confusion created if all special use airspace (SUA) areas were active 
at the same time, the FAA stated it would amend the legal descriptions 
of the Viper A, Viper B and Yukon 1 MOAs to exclude that airspace 
within R-2205A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, and K when the restricted areas 
were activated.
    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 visual 
flight rules (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 amendments to the Viper A, Viper B, and Yukon 
1 MOAs descriptions are ancillary to the establishment of R-2205A 
through K, the MOA changes are addressed in this rule as well as being 
published in the NFDD.
    The FAA circularized a proposal to make editorial amendments to the 
Viper A, Viper B, and Yukon 1 MOAs boundary descriptions, contingent 
upon restricted areas R-2205A through K being established, to add 
language that excluded that airspace within R-2205A through K when the 
restricted areas were activated. Interested parties were invited to 
participate in this proposed nonrulemaking action by submitting written 
comments on the proposal. No comments to the circular were received. As 
a result, the Viper A, Viper B, and Yukon 1 MOAs boundary descriptions 
are being amended to include language that excludes that airspace 
within restricted areas R-2205A through K when they are activated. 
These editorial amendments overcome any potential airspace confusion or 
conflict resulting from the overlapping restricted areas and MOAs being 
activated at the same time. Additionally, the amendments help inform 
nonparticipants when portions of the MOAs are not available due to 
hazardous activities being conducted in the overlapping restricted 
areas. The amended boundary descriptions for the MOAs will be published 
in the NFDD; the rest of the MOAs legal descriptions remain unchanged.

Differences From the NPRM

    In response to comments the FAA has realigned all internal 
subdivisions into smaller rectangle subdivisions instead of large 45-
degree slanted subdivisions with irregular boundaries. Additionally, 
two subdivisions have been added while the overall size of the R-2205 A 
through K complex is reduced. All geographic lat./long. coordinates 
have been adjusted to accommodate traffic above and around the newly 
established restricted areas ensuring ample separation from non-
participating traffic.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14CFR) 
part 73 by removing the current restricted area R-2205, Stuart Creek, 
AK, and establishing restricted areas R-2205A through K, Fairbanks, AK. 
The FAA is revoking and establishing this action at the request of the 
United States Army in Alaska. Subsequent to the NPRM, the FAA is also 
incorporating the restricted area updates noted in the Differences from 
the NPRM section. The FAA is taking this action to accommodate manned 
and unmanned teaming of aviation assets and allow Air-to-Ground 
Integration (AGI) during large training exercises such as Red Flag and 
Distant Frontier. Additionally, the expansion of the restricted area 
over the DMPTR allows for greater training complexity by incorporating 
AGI. The activities within R-2205 A through K are to meet the overall 
training objectives of the Department of Defense. The activities would 
include live and inert precision and unguided munitions, unmanned 
aerial vehicles (UAV) laser operations, joint combined arms live fire 
exercises, gunnery collective skills training, demolitions, indirect 
fire and helicopter integration with UAVs. These restricted areas are 
required to effectively deconflict Department of Defense and civilian 
air traffic from hazards associated with live fire training.

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 establishing restricted 
areas R-2205 A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K; Fairbanks, AK and revoking 
restricted area R-2205 at Stuart Creek, AK, qualifies for FAA adoption 
in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 8-2, Adoption of Other 
Agencies' National Environmental Policy Act Documents, and FAA Order 
7400.2M, paragraph 32-2-3 (Special Use Airspace). After conducting an 
independent review and evaluation of the Army's Final Environmental 
Impact Statement (EIS) for The Modernization and Enhancement of Ranges, 
Airspace, and Training Areas in the Joint Pacific Alaska Range Complex 
in Alaska (JPARC) and Finding Of No Significant Impact, (which analyzes 
the impacts of establishing R-2201 at the Battle Area Complex, 
expanding R-2205, and modifying the legal descriptions of

[[Page 39963]]

Viper A, Viper B, Yukon 1 Military Operations Areas (MOAs)), the FAA 
has determined that the Army's EIS, Written Re-Evaluation, and 
supporting documentation adequately assesses and discloses the 
environmental impacts of the proposed action. The Army's JPARC Final 
EIS was published in June 2013 and the Army/USAF Record of Decision 
(ROD) was issued on August 6, 2013.
    Based on the evaluation in the Army's EIS, the FAA, as a 
Cooperating Agency, concluded that the EIS qualifies for adoption by 
FAA, and that the FAA's adoption is authorized in accordance with 40 
CFR 1506.3, Adoption, and FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 8-2, Adoption of 
Other Agencies' NEPA Documents. Accordingly, FAA adopts the Army's EIS 
and takes full responsibility for the scope and content that addresses 
the FAA's actions associated with the establishment and modification of 
Special Use Airspace.
