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
[[Page 21249]]
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 establishes
restricted areas R-5305A, R-5305B, and R-5305C, Camp Lejeune, NC; and
restricted areas R-5307A, R-5307B, and R-5307C, Cherry Point, NC, to
enhance aviation safety and accommodate essential U.S. Marine Corps
training activities.
History
The FAA published an NPRM for Docket No. FAA-2025-0273 in the
Federal Register (90 FR 13112; March 20, 2025), proposing to establish
restricted areas R-5305A, R-5305B, and R-5305C, Camp Lejeune, NC; and
restricted areas R-5307A, R-5307B, and R-5307C, Cherry Point, NC.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA on or
before May 5, 2025.
The FAA then published an extension of the comment period for
Docket No. FAA-2025-0273 in the Federal Register (90 FR 15944; April
16, 2025). This extension was a result of a planned outage of the
eRulemaking General Services Administration Cloud Migration website,
which resulted in an outage of the Federal Register comment submission
website from April 25, 2025, through April 28, 2025. The planned outage
was near the end of the comment submission timeframe; therefore, it was
deemed appropriate for the comment period to be extended to compensate
for the outage and to allow proportionate time for comments to be
submitted. This resulted in an extension of the comment period until
May 9, 2025.
The FAA published a second extension of the comment period for
Docket No. FAA-2025-0273 in the Federal Register (90 FR 19266; May 7,
2025). On April 29, 2025, the FAA received a request from the Aircraft
Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) to include graphical depictions of
each proposed restricted area and to extend the comment period for an
additional two weeks to allow for analysis of those graphical
depictions. On April 30, 2025, graphical depictions of restricted areas
R-5305A, R-5305B, and R-5305C, Camp Lejeune, NC; and restricted areas
R-5307A, R-5307B, and R-5307C, Cherry Point, NC, were posted to the
docket. The FAA also extended the comment period until May 23, 2025.
The FAA published a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking
(SNPRM) for Docket No. FAA-2025-0273 in the Federal Register (90 FR
25916; June 18, 2025). In this SNPRM, the FAA explained that in the
NPRM it incorrectly stated a geographic coordinate, due to a rounding
error, that partially defined the northern boundary of restricted areas
R-5305A, R-5305B, and R-5305C. However, the supporting graphic
depicting the boundary of these restricted areas, overlaid on a
sectional chart, correctly depicted the intended boundary.
Consequently, the FAA announced an extension of the comment period
until July 18, 2025.
Ultimately, the FAA received 49 comments.
Discussion of Comments
The FAA received comments from 24 individuals concerned that
establishment of additional restricted area airspace would have local
economic and environmental impacts at the nearby airports. Local
economic impacts are addressed in the Regulatory Notices and Analyses
section, and environmental impacts are addressed in the Environmental
Review section on this Final Rule.
The majority of the comments focused on how the activation of
restricted area airspace below 15,000 feet mean sea level (MSL) would
affect the ability of aircraft operating under Visual Flight Rules
(VFR) and Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) to operate and transition to
and from Michael J Smith Field (KMRH) airport in Beaufort, NC. The
commenters voiced concern that these restricted areas, when active,
would further constrain the limited airspace available for general
aviation aircraft to arrive or depart KMRH airport to or from the
northwest. Specifically, concerns were raised for restricted areas R-
5305A and R-5307A. When these areas are active, along with other nearby
restricted area airspace, aircraft would have to take specific actions
to avoid these areas. To avoid restricted area R-5305A, aircraft would
also need to circumnavigate restricted area airspace to the west. To
avoid restricted area R-5307A, aircraft would be required to fly below
the 2,500 feet MSL floor and navigate through 2 corridors, each about 4
nautical miles wide, located southwest and northeast of Cherry Point
MCAS (Cunningham Field) airport Class D airspace.
The commenters made several suggestions for alleviating these
concerns, including: (a) relocating the restricted area activities
offshore to warning area airspace; (b) requiring Notices to Airmen
(NOTAM) to be filed at least four hours prior to activation to assist
pilots with their flight planning; (c) providing real-time updates on
the status of each restricted area; and (d) raising the floor of
restricted areas R-5305A, R-5307A, and R-5307B, or creating a VFR
corridor from the northwest of the KMRH airport to facilitate access,
with a ceiling above 2,500 feet MSL.
The FAA does not agree with the comments suggesting to relocate
these hazardous activities to warning area airspace offshore. The
purpose of proposing to establish each of the restricted areas is to
connect them with existing special use airspace (SUA) restricted area
complexes R-5303, R5304, and R-5306 to establish one large contiguous
tract of SUA that is better suited to contain the hazardous activities
associated with U.S. Marine Corps training requirements. Offshore
warning area airspace off the coast of North Carolina does not meet
many airspace volume requirements for some types of aviation training.
U.S. Marine Corps training requires land with varied terrain for field
artillery and amphibious assault training, which offshore warning areas
do not provide. This training will be conducted alongside the aviation
exercises that use hazardous laser-guided weapon systems and artillery.
To ensure aviation safety, restricted area airspace must be established
to contain these hazardous activities.
FAA agrees in part with the comments suggesting that NOTAMs be
filed at least four hours prior to activation of each restricted area
to assist pilots with their flight planning. The FAA disagrees with a
4-hour advance NOTAM requirement for restricted area R-5307C as it is
designated as active from 8:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. local time, Monday
through Friday, and it is expected that pilots would plan to routinely
circumnavigate the area. It is also entirely within Class A airspace,
where pilots are in communication with air traffic control (ATC), and
will be informed in real-time if the area becomes active. Therefore, a
4-hour advance NOTAM is not warranted, and no changes have been made to
this final rule concerning restricted area R-5307C.
The FAA agrees with requiring advance notice by NOTAM for the other
restricted areas in this proposal. Accordingly, because 4-hour advance
notice was requested, the times of designation for restricted areas R-
5305B, R-5305C, and R-5307B have been changed in this final rule to add
a provision that activation by NOTAM must occur at least 4 hours in
advance. As an additional mitigation to address public concerns, the
time of designation for restricted area R-5307A is changed in this
final rule to include the provision that activation by NOTAM must occur
at least 12 hours in advance,
[[Page 21250]]
which more than satisfies the requested 4 hours. The time of
designation for restricted area R-5305A was initially proposed with the
provision that activation by NOTAM be published at least 24 hours in
advance, and that requirement has been retained without change in this
final rule.
The FAA agrees in part with comments suggesting the FAA provide
real-time updates on the status of each restricted area. Although
creating a new system with the capability for real-time notification of
airspace activation is beyond the scope of this action, the FAA
provides a SUA status website with graphical depictions and information
on current and near future SUA activation status across the National
Airspace System (NAS) at <a href="https://sua.faa.gov">https://sua.faa.gov</a>.
Additionally, real time status for each restricted area is
available by contacting its controlling agency on very high frequency
(VHF) and ultra high frequency (UHF) frequencies which will be listed
in the chart tabulation section of aeronautical charts. Cherry Point
Combined Center Radar Approach Control Facility (CERAP) is the
controlling agency for restricted areas R-5305A, R-5305B, R-5307A, and
R-5307B, and it may be contacted for the status of any of these
restricted areas on frequencies 119.75 and 360.775. Washington Air
Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) is the controlling agency for
restricted areas R-5305C and R-5307C, and it may be contacted on
frequencies 123.85 and 279.65 for the status of restricted area R-
5305C, and frequencies 124.025 and 269.15 for the status of restricted
area R-5307C.
The FAA declines to adopt the recommendations of comments
suggesting raising the floor of restricted areas R-5305A, R-5307A, and
R-5307B, or creating a VFR corridor from KMRH airport to the northwest
to facilitate access to the airport. The floor of restricted area R-
5305A must remain at the surface to contain the hazardous activity of
artillery shells being fired from the surface. The floor of restricted
areas R-5307A and R-5307B must remain at 2,500 feet MSL to contain the
hazardous activity involving the use of lasers used in the targeting
system for Small Diameter Bomb II. These hazardous lasers and bombs
would be deployed from a variety of altitudes within the active
portions of the restricted area complex, angled downward through
restricted area R-5307A and R-5307B, and into the adjacent restricted
area R-5306A. Raising the floor of restricted area R-5307A above 2,500
feet MSL, even in a portion of the airspace (e.g., to create a VFR
corridor), would degrade training by limiting the angles that could be
used to fire ordnance and thus not provide realistic targeting and
weapon delivery training scenarios.
The FAA acknowledges that there will be some impact to IFR and VFR
users operating to and from KMRH airport when restricted area R-5305
and R-5307 complexes are active. This impact will be minimized through
limited restricted area airspace activation, joint-use procedures, and
the availability of ATC services and traffic advisories for VFR
aircraft.
Restricted areas are established for joint-use, meaning that large
SUA areas are subdivided to facilitate the real-time release of
airspace back to the NAS when an area is not needed for activation.
Joint-use procedures ensure that sub-areas of the restricted area are
only activated when needed to accomplish the hazardous activity, and
deactivation occurs in real-time when training activities are
completed. Specific joint-use procedures are documented in a letter of
agreement or letter of procedure between the controlling agency and the
using agency. Cherry Point CERAP has joint-use procedures in place that
may permit non-participating aircraft to transit active restricted
areas, when it would not impact the hazardous training activities being
conducted, and while remaining in two-way communication with ATC.
Additionally, Cherry Point CERAP has joint-use procedures in place
that would keep hazardous activities away from non-participating IFR
aircraft and permit those aircraft to fly though active restricted
areas on instrument arrival and departure procedures for the KMRH
airport. Lastly, Cherry Point CERAP may deactivate portions of these
restricted areas when non-participant aircraft need to use those areas
to avoid severe weather, turbulence, and handling of emergency
aircraft.
Differences From the NPRM
Subsequent to publication of the NPRM, the FAA identified an error
in the proposed designated altitudes listed for restricted area R-
5307A, which was listed as ``from 2,500 feet above ground level (AGL)
to but not including 10,000 feet MSL.'' The correct designated altitude
for restricted area R-5307A is ``from 2,500 feet MSL to but not
including 10,000 feet MSL.'' This final rule corrects this error.
Restricted area R-5307A is located above the Cherry Point MCAS
(Cunningham Field) airport, which has an elevation of 29 feet MSL.
Therefore, the altitude difference between 2,500 feet AGL and 2,500
feet MSL is approximately 29 feet throughout R-5307A, and the
correction effectively results in lowering the airspace floor by that
amount, which would not substantively alter the routes or altitudes
pilots would need to fly to avoid the restricted area airspace when it
is active. Accordingly, because the correction results in only a
nominal change to the floor altitude of the affected restricted area,
the change is ministerial in nature. Therefore, the FAA finds good
cause that recirculating the proposal for notice and comment is
unnecessary.
The Rule
This action amends 14 CFR part 73 by establishing restricted areas
R-5305A, R-5305B, and R-5305C, Camp Lejeune, NC; and restricted areas
R-5307A, R-5307B, and R-5307C, Cherry Point, NC. This restricted area
airspace, combined with preexisting restricted areas R-5003, R-5004,
and R-5306 complexes, support United States Marine Corps (USMC)
training and readiness requirements and provide the contiguous
restricted area airspace required to contain hazardous activities such
as weapon deployment, and use of non-eye safe lasers and artillery
necessary to conduct complex and realistic training scenarios that
accomplish mission essential tasks.
Restricted areas R-5305A, R-5305B, and R-5305C share the same
lateral boundaries. Restricted area R-5305A extends from the surface up
to but not including 7,000 feet MSL, excluding the airspace from the
surface to 200 feet AGL within 200 feet either side of U.S. Highway 17.
Published times of use are Monday through Friday, 0600 to 2359 local
time; other times of use must be published in a NOTAM at least 24 hours
in advance. Restricted area R-5305A is expected to be activated 8 hours
per day, 150 days per year. Approximately 25 percent of the activation
time will occur during the hours of darkness, and approximately 5
percent of all activation will include fixed-wing operations.
Restricted area R-5305B extends from 7,000 feet MSL up to but not
including 10,000 feet MSL. A NOTAM must be published at least 4 hours
in advance to announce the intermittent times of use of restricted area
R-5305B. Restricted area R-5305B is expected to be activated 4 hours
per day, 30 days per year. Approximately 25 percent of the activation
time will be during the hours of darkness, and approximately 50 percent
of the activation time will include fixed-wing operations.
Restricted area R-5305C extends from 10,000 feet MSL up to but not
including FL 180. A NOTAM must be published
[[Page 21251]]
at least 4 hours in advance to announce the intermittent times of use
of restricted area R-5305C. Restricted area R-5305C is expected to be
activated 4 hours per day, 30 days per year. Approximately 25 percent
of the activation time will be during the hours of darkness, and
approximately 50 percent of the activation time will include fixed-wing
operations.
Restricted areas R-5307A, R-5307B, and R-5307C overlay each other,
and is intended to replace alert area A-530, which FAA plans to cancel
concurrent with the establishment of the restricted areas through a
separate nonrulemaking process. Restricted areas R-5307B and R-5307C
share the same lateral boundaries.
Restricted area R-5307A extends from 2,500 feet MSL up to but not
including 10,000 feet MSL. A NOTAM must be published at least 12 hours
in advance to announce the intermittent times of use of restricted area
R-5307A. Restricted area R-5307A is expected to be activated 2 hours
per day, 25 days per year. Approximately 25 percent of all activation
time will be during the hours of darkness.
Restricted area R-5307B extends from 10,000 feet MSL up to but not
including Flight Level (FL) 180. A NOTAM must be published at least 4
hours in advance to announce the intermittent times of use of
restricted area R-5307A. Restricted area R-5307B is expected to be
activated 4 hours per day, 25 days per year. Approximately 25 percent
of all activation time will be during the hours of darkness.
Restricted area R-5307C extends from FL 180 to FL 290. Published
times of use are Monday through Friday, 0800-2359 local, other times by
NOTAM. Restricted area R-5307C is expected to be activated 4 hours per
day, 100 days per year. Approximately 25 percent of all activation time
will be during the hours of darkness.
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 DOT
Order 2100.6B, ``Rulemaking and Guidance Procedure'' (March 10, 2025);
and (3) is anticipated to have a minimal economic impact, as it only
affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, resulting in at most
de minimis costs from minor rerouting of flights. Since this is a
routine matter that only affects air traffic procedures and air
navigation, with de minimis impact on operators, 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's establishment of restricted areas R-5305A, R-5305B, and
R-5305C at Camp Lejeune, NC; and restricted areas R-5307A, R-5307B, and
R-5307C at Cherry Point, NC, as described above, was evaluated and
documented for potential environmental impacts by the USMC in an
Environmental Assessment (EA), dated May 2025. The U.S. Marine Corps EA
and FAA's adoption of that EA were produced in accordance with the
requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (42 U.S.C.
4321 et seq.) and the FAA's procedural provisions of NEPA in FAA Orders
1050.1G (``FAA National Environmental Policy Act Implementing
Procedures''), and JO 7400.2R, (``Procedures for Handling Airspace
Matters''), which set forth the FAA's procedures for evaluating changes
to the NAS which includes establishing and modifying SUA. The FAA, in
fulfilling its mandated role as a NEPA Cooperating Agency for the U.S.
Marine Corps proposed actions within the above-described restricted
areas, adopted the U.S. Marine Corps Final EA in a separate FAA NEPA
adoption document and Record of Decision (ROD).
The U.S. Marine Corps Final EA for the Enhancement of Air and
Ground Training and Readiness incorporated the FAA's process for
establishment of the above-described restricted areas to support the
U.S. Marine Corps proposed actions in those restricted areas. The U.S.
Marine Corps EA analyzed the potential for environmental impacts
associated with the establishment and use of these restricted areas to
support U.S. Marine Corps training requirements, which include fixed-
wing aircraft use of existing targets, employment of long-range lasers,
integration of threat emitters, low-altitude air defense training,
surface-to-surface artillery training, small arms ranges training, and
training with combat-capable Unmanned Aircraft Systems. The Final EA
resulted in a Finding of No Significant Impact and, therefore, an
Environmental Impact Statement is not required.
