Proposed Airspace and Flight Operations Requirements for the 1996 Summer Olympic Games, Atlanta, GA

SUMMARY: This document proposes a Special Federal Aviation Regulation

(SFAR), applicable for the period July 5 through August 11, 1996, to

establish temporary flight restricted (TFR) areas overlying the various

competition venues for the XXVI Olympic Games. This action also

proposes to require slot reservations for arrivals and departures at

specified airports in the vicinity of the Olympic Games. The FAA

believes this action is necessary for the security of the venues, safe

operation and management of aircraft operating to, within, and from

these areas, and to prevent any unsafe congestion of sightseeing and

other aircraft over the various game sites.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before January 22, 1996. Due to

time constraints, the FAA is requiring a 21-day comment period.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the rule in triplicate to the Federal

Aviation Administration, Office of the Chief Counsel, Attn.: Rules

Docket (AGC-204, Docket No.), 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington,

DC 20591, United States of America (USA). Comments may also be sent

electronically to the following Internet address:

[email protected]. Comments may be examined in Room 915G,

weekdays, between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. except Federal holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

Interested persons are invited to participate in this regulatory

action by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as they

may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the

views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing

reasoned regulatory decisions. Communications should identify the

regulatory docket number and be submitted in triplicate to the above

specified address. All communications received on or before the closing

date for comments will be considered by the Administrator. Commenters

who wish the FAA to acknowledge receipt of their comments must submit

with those comments a self addressed, stamped postcard on which the

following statement is written: ``Comments to Docket Number.'' The

postcard will be date/time stamped and returned to the commenter. The

provisions in this rule may be changed in the light of comments

received. All comments submitted will be available both before and

after the closing date for the comments, in the Rules Docket for

examination by interested persons. A report summarizing substantive

public contact with FAA personnel concerned with this rulemaking will

be filed in the docket.

Availability of NPRM

Any person may obtain a copy of this NPRM by submitting a request

to the Federal Aviation Administration, Office of Public Affairs,

Attention: Public Information Center, APA-430, 800 Independence Avenue,

SW., Washington, DC 20591, or by calling (202) 426-8058. Communications

must identify the notice number of this NPRM. Persons interested in

being placed on the mailing list for future NPRM's should also request

a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11-2 which describes the application

procedure.

Comment Period Justification

The FAA is requesting a comment period of 21 days to allow for the

incorporation of comments and the expeditious charting of the TFR

areas. The early charting of the TFR areas would reduce the potential

confusion of pilots since the SFAR restriction will significantly

change the normal operating procedures of the affected areas.

Furthermore, early charting of the TRF areas would result in security

of the Olympic venues, safe operation and management of aircraft, and

the prevention of any unsafe congestion of sightseeing and other

aircraft over the various game sites and Olympic Villages.

Background/Need for Rulemaking

The 1996 Olympic Games will be held from July 19 through August 4,

1996, primarily in the Atlanta, Georgia, area and will mark the 100th

anniversary of the modern Olympic Games. The event is the largest

single, peace-time event in the history of the world. Over 350,000

visitors a day are expected to attend the games. In terms of air

traffic demand, the pregame, game, and postgame activities from July 19

through August 4 are expected to generate substantial increases in

aircraft operations in the Atlanta area as well as other sites in the

United States. Those sites are:

The Olympic Village--Atlanta, GA

The Olympic Ring--Atlanta, GA

Wolf Creek Skeet Range--Atlanta, GA

Atlanta Beach--Jonesboro, GA

International Horsepark--Covington, GA

Stone Mountain Park--Stone Mountain, GA

Lake Sidney Lanier--Gainesville, GA

Sanford Stadium--Athens, GA

Golden Park--Columbus, GA

Lee College--Cleveland, TN

U.S. Highway 64--Tennessee

Ocoee River--Tennessee

Legion Field--Birmingham, Al

The Olympic Village--Savannah, GA

Sail Harbor and Wilmington River Transit Zone--Savannah, GA

Sailing Venue--Savannah, GA

The Citrus Bowl--Orlando, FL

The Orange Bowl--Miami, FL

RFK Stadium--Washington, DC

The Olympic Village--Davie, FL

The Olympic Village--Columbus, GA

The Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR)

This notice proposes an SFAR to provide for the security of persons

and property in the air and on the ground, and for the safe and

efficient movement of air traffic during the Olympic period. To

accomplish this goal, the SFAR is designed for flexibility and

adaptability.

Traffic Management Arrival/Departure Slot Reservation System

During the busy Olympic period, the FAA must ensure continued safe

and efficient use of airspace and air traffic control capacity. To

achieve this objective while minimizing disruption to the air traveling

public, the FAA proposes and arrival/departure slot reservation system

to manage air traffic into and out of key airports in the Atlanta area.

The proposed slot reservation system would be applicable to visual

flight rules (VFR) arrivals at four specified airports, VFR departures

at four specified airports, and to non-scheduled instrument flight

rules (IFR) operations at 11 specified airports. As with most special

events, airborne holding would not be authorized in lieu of a ground

delay. Thus, aircraft without reservations may anticipate lengthy

delays at departure airports.

VFR arrival slot reservations are required for: Cobb County-

McCollum Field Airport (RYY), Marietta, GA; DeKalb-Peachtree Airport

(PDK), Atlanta, GA; Fulton County-Brown

[[Page 67507]]

Field Airport (FTY), Atlanta, GA; and Gwinnett County-Briscoe Field

Airport (LZU), Lawrenceville, GA.

VFR departure slot reservations are required for: Cobb County

Airport-McCollum Field (RYY), Marietta, Ga; DeKalb-Peachtree Airport

(PDK), Atlanta, GA; Fulton County-Brown Field Airport (FTY), Atlanta,

GA; and Gwinnett County-Briscoe Field Airport (LZU), Lawrenceville, GA.

Non-Scheduled IFR slot reservations are required for:

Non-scheduled IFR slot reservations are required for: Clayton

County-Tara Field Airport (4A7), Hampton, GA; Cobb County-McCollum

Field Airport (RYY), Marietta, GA; Covington Municipal Airport (9A1),

Covington, GA; DeKalb-Peachtree Airport (PDK), Atlanta, GA; Ben Epps

Field Airport (AHN), Athens, GA; Peachtree City-Falcon Field Airport

(FFC), Peachtree City, GA; Fulton County Airport-Brown Field Airport

(FTY), Atlanta, GA; Lee Gilmer Memorial Airport (GVL), Gainesville, GA;

Gwinnett County-Briscoe Field Airport (LZU), Lawrenceville, GA; The

William B. Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport (ATL), Atlanta, GA;

and Richard B. Russell Airport (RMG), Rome, GA.

Beginning July 14, 1996, 7:00 a.m. (EDT), pilots can reserve VFR

arrival and departure of IFR arrival and departure slots at these

airports by calling 1-800-96FAA96 (963-2296) 24 hours a day.

Reservation slots may be reserved no sooner than 72 hours before your

estimated time of arrival or departure. Be prepared to provide the

following information: Arrival reservations: destination airport,

estimated time of arrival, call sign, direction of arrival to the

Atlanta area and type aircraft; Departure Reservations: departure

airport, estimated time of departure, call sign, destination airport,

first fix after departure and type aircraft.

Temporary Flight Restrictions

The FAA proposes to establish TFR areas over the Olympic Villages

and competition sites. The establishment of TFR areas over the

competition venues would result in the restriction of aircraft

operations in these areas, however, access to these areas may be

accommodated with an appropriate authorization from the designated

using agency. ATC would retain the ability to manage aircraft through

the TFR areas in accordance with normal traffic flows.

Operating restrictions within the airspace overlying competition

venues are proposed for the period from three hours before to three

hours after each event. The additional time that the restrictions are

proposed to be imposed, before and after each match, would accommodate

the observation and planning of ground traffic movement as well as

facilitate the orderly movement of aircraft in and through the airspace

above each event. Flight operations would be restricted within the

airspace from the surface to approximately 2500 feet above the ground

(AGL) to provide a safe environment.

These TFR areas generally would be circular areas of 1 to 4 NM in

radius from the surface to approximately 2,500 AGL. Aircraft operations

through, into, or out of these TFR areas would not be allowed during

the effective dates and times unless specifically authorized by the

designated using agency or ATC.

The locations, dimensions, and effective times of the TFR areas

would be published for use by all pilots on air navigation charts and

in the Federal Register with specific details disseminated by NOTAM.

Requests for access to the airspace areas can be obtained by contacting

the using agency for the particular venue as designated via NOTAM.

Certain Olympic venues fall within Class B surface area;

specifically, RFK Stadium in Washington, DC and the Orange Bowl in

Miami, Fl. These venues will be charted along with those outside of

Class B airspace to ensure consistency.

Exceptions

This SFAR would contain provisions to provide flexible and

efficient management and control of air traffic, such as the authority

to give priority to or exclude from requirements of the special

regulation, flight operations dealing with or containing essential

military, medical emergency, rescue, law enforcement, public health and

welfare, Presidential, Olympic family, and heads of state.

Obtainign U.S. Air Navigation Charts

The following provides information on how to obtain the special air

navigation charts for the Olympic Games as well as other air navigation

charts for use in the U.S.

The National Ocean Service (NOS) publishes and distributes

aeronautical charts of the U.S. National airspace system (NAS). Charts

are readily available through a network of sales agents located at and

near principal civil airports. Because of the large variety, all NOS

products may not be available locally; users can procure these products

directly from NOS. Chart prices, subscription rates, and catalogs of

related publications are available on request and are obtainable by

writing to: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National

Ocean Service, Distribution Branch, N/CG33, Riverdale, Maryland 20737,

USA, Phone (301) 436-6990--General Information (301) 436-6993,

Subscription Only: (301) 436-8194--One Time Sales Only.

NOS products will be shipped via United Parcel Service, First Class

Mail, or priority package within the U.S. For foreign surface shipment

to addresses in other countries, please add 5 percent to the total cost

of order. Please write to NOS for a transportation cost quotation if

faster foreign delivery is required. All mail order purchases must be

accompanied by check or money order made payable to ``NOS, Department

of Commerce, N/CG33''. Remittance must be made in U.S. funds; i.e., by

check payable on a U.S. bank, or by international money order. Returned

checks will result in cancellation of orders.

Chart sales offices are maintained at the following locations:

National Ocean Service, Chart Sales & Control Data Office, 701 C

Street, Anchorage, Alaska 99513, USA

Atlantic Marine Center, National Ocean Service, 439 West York

Street, Norfolk, Virginia 23510, USA

Chart prices are subject to recomputation, based on cost of

production, in accordance with Federal law. Price changes, when

required, will be published 60 days in advance of the effective date.

The first of 13 charts that would show some of the Olympic TFR's

would be published beginning with a February 1, 1996 effective date.

Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) Information

ATC and air traffic flow management systems will monitor and assess

the air traffic demand so that restrictions are kept to an essential

minimum. To assure maximum flexibility, the SFAR proposes the issuance

of NOTAMs to announce all restrictions and other actions including the

lifting of any restrictions taken by the FAA in response to changing

airport and air traffic conditions.

Time-critical aeronautical information that is of a temporary

nature or is not sufficiently known in advance to permit publication on

aeronautical charts or in other operational publications, receives

immediate dissemination via the National NOTAM system. All domestic

[[Page 67508]]

operators planning flight to the Olympics need to pay particular

attention to NOTAM D and Flight Data Center (FDC) NOTAM information.

NOTAM D information could affect a pilot's decision to make a flight.

NOTAM D pertains to information on airports, runways, navigational

aids, radar services, and other information essential to flight. An FDC

NOTAM will contain information which is regulatory in nature, such as

amendments to aeronautical charts and restrictions to flight. FDC NOTAM

and NOTAM D information would also be provided to international

operators in the form of International NOTAMs. NOTAMs are distributed

through the National Communications Center in Kansas City, Missouri,

USA, for transmission to all air traffic facilities having

telecommunications access.

Pilots and operators should consult the biweekly Notices to Airmen

Domestic/International publication. This publication contains the NOTAM

FDC and D NOTAMs. Special information, including graphics, would be

published in the biweekly publication several weeks in advance of the

Olympics. For more detailed information concerning the NOTAM system,

refer to the Aeronautical Information Manual, ``Preflight'' Section.

Other U.S. Laws and Regulations

Aircraft operators should clearly understand that the proposed SFAR

is in addition to other laws and regulations of the U.S. The SFAR would

not waive or supersede any U.S. law or obligation. When operating

within the jurisdictional limits of the U.S., operators of foreign

aircraft must conform with all applicable requirements of U.S. Federal,

State, and local governments. In particular, aircraft operators

planning flights into the U.S. must be aware of and conform to the

rules and regulations established by the:

1. U.S. Civil Aeronautics Board regarding flights entering the

U.S.;

2. U.S. Customs Service, Immigration and other authorities

regarding customs, immigrations, health, firearms, and imports/exports;

3. U.S. FAA regarding flight in or into U.S. airspace. This

includes compliance with Federal Aviation Regulations regarding

operations into or within the U.S. through air defense identification

zones, and compliance with general flight rules; and

4. Airport management authorities regarding use of airports and

airport facilities.

Environmental Effects

This proposed action would establish TFR areas for safety and

security purposes and would curtail or limit certain aircraft

operations within designated areas at defined dates and times, rather

than require aircraft to be operated along specified routings or in

accordance with specific procedures. Additionally, this proposed action

would be temporary in nature and effective only for the dates and times

necessary to provide for the safety and protection of participants and

spectators on the ground, as well as law enforcement and security

personnel operating in the air at Olympic game venues. ATC would retain

the ability to direct aircraft through the restricted areas in

accordance with normal traffic flows. The FAA believes, therefore, that

the proposed establishment of temporary flight restriction areas would

have minimal impact on ATC routings or procedures.

Further, this action would result in a reduction in aircraft

activity in the vicinity of the Olympic games by restricting aircraft

operations. Therefore, there would be fewer aircraft operations in the

vicinity of the Olympic games than would have occurred if the

restricted areas were not in place and noise levels associated with

that greater aircraft activity would also be reduced. Additionally,

aircraft avoiding the restricted areas would not be routed over any

particular area. This action would, therefore, not result in any long-

term action which would routinely route aircraft over noise-sensitive

areas. For the reasons stated above, the FAA concludes that this

proposed rule would not significantly affect the quality of the human

environment.

International Civil Aviation Organization and Joint Aviation

Regulations

In keeping with U.S. obligations under the Convention on

International Civil Aviation, it is FAA policy to comply with

International Civil Aviation organization Standards and Recommended

Practices (SARP) to the maximum extent practicable.

Paperwork Reduction Act

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-

511), there are no requirements for information collection associated

with this proposed regulation.

Regulatory Evaluation

This regulatory evaluation examines the costs and benefits of a

proposed SFAR applicable for the period July 19 through August 4, 1996.

The SFAR proposes to establish a TFR overlying the various competition

venues for the 1996 Olympic games. This notice also proposes to require

slot reservations for arrivals and departures at specified airports in

the vicinity of the Olympics. Since the impacts of the proposed change

are relatively minor this economic summary constitutes the analysis and

no regulatory evaluation will be placed in the docket.

Costs and Benefits

There are two major areas where economic impacts are likely: Slot

Reservation System and Temporary Flight Restrictions.

A. Slot Reservation System

During the Olympic period, the FAA must assure the continued safe

and efficient use of airspace over the affected areas. To achieve this

objective while minimizing disruption to the air traveling public, the

FAA proposes an arrival and departure slot reservation system to manage

air traffic into and out of airports serving the Olympic Games.

As a result of the slot reservation system some flights may be

canceled and others rerouted. The cost of the cancellations would be

the value of the flights to airlines and passengers less aircraft

operating cost to conduct the flights. Other flights may be diverted to

other airports in the Olympic Games area. Diversions would result in

additional cost of trips to and from places of intended lodging and

possible extra aircraft operation costs. The major economic impact in

the case of a diversion would be inconvenience to operators who may

have wanted to land at a given airport. Because such occurrences are of

limited duration, the FAA believes that costs associated with any

diversions from one airport to another in the affected area will

probably by small. The additional FAA administrative workload generated

by the proposed rule would be absorbed by current personnel and

equipment resources. The proposed slot provision would not require any

additional air traffic controllers nor additional radar control

equipment.

The benefits of the slot reservation system would be better control

of the airspace over Atlanta and other areas affected by the Olympics.

Arrivals are expected to increase 25 percent during the 3 weeks of the

Olympic season. There would be an increased risk of accidents due to

this unprecedented congestion in the Atlanta area if greater controls

are not implemented. There is also the potential benefit of reduced

delay times for operators attempting to land in the Atlanta area. The

proposed

[[Page 67509]]

slot provision would assure that the FAA will have sufficient capacity

to handle the many possible extra flights carrying spectators,

athletes, media personnel, and dignitaries during the Olympic period

without unnecessary delay.

B. Temporary Flight Restriction Areas

Due to the substantial increase in aircraft operations that are

expected in the Atlanta area as well as other sites, the FAA proposes

to establish TFR areas over the Olympic village and competition sites.

The establishment of TFR's over competition venues would result in the

restriction of aircraft operations from the surface to 2500 feet.

The major economic impact of circumnavigation in this case would be

inconvenience to operators who may have wanted to operate in the area

of the TFR. Because such occurrences are of limited duration and the

restricted areas are limited in size, the FAA believes that any

circumnavigation costs will be negligible. An aircraft operator could

avoid the restricted airspace by flying over it without significantly

deviating from their current routes or by circumnavigating the

restricted airspace.

The potential benefits of the proposed TFR airspace would be

primarily enhanced safety to the public. Enhanced safety would take the

form of the reduced possibility of fatalities and property damage as a

result of a lowered risk of accidents due to increased positive control

of TFR airspace. While benefits cannot be quantified, the FAA believes

the benefits are commensurate with the small costs attributed to the

temporary inconvenience of the flight restrictions for operators near

the TFR.

Regulatory Flexibility Act Determination

The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA) ensures that

government regulations do not needlessly and disproportionately burden

small businesses. The RFA requires the FAA to review each rule that may

have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small

entities.

The FAA's criteria for a ``substantial number'' is a number that is

not less than 11 and that is more than one third of the small entities

subject to the rule. The small entities that could be potentially

affected by the implementation of the proposed rule are operators of

aircraft for hire owning nine or fewer aircraft. Because of the

negligible impact of this regulatory action, the FAA initially

determines that this proposed amendment would not have a significant

impact on a substantial number of small entities.

Federalism Implications

The proposed regulation set forth herein would not have substantial

direct effects on the States, on the relationship between the national

government and the States, or on the distribution of power and

responsibilities among the various levels of government. Therefore, in

accordance with Executive Order 12612, it is determined that this

proposed regulation would not have sufficient federalism implications

to warrant the preparation of a Federalism Assessment.

International Trade Impact Assessment

The proposal would not constitute a barrier to international trade,

including the export of U.S. goods and services to foreign countries

and the import of foreign goods and services to the United States. This

proposal would not impose temporary costs on aircraft operators. There

should be no effect on U.S. or foreign aircraft manufacturers.

Therefore, the FAA has determined that the proposed rule would neither

have an effect on the sale of foreign aviation products nor services in

United States, nor would it have an effect on the sale of U.S. products

or services in foreign countries.

Conclusion

For the reasons discussed in the preamble, and based on the

findings in the Regulatory Flexibility Determination and the

International Trade Impact Assessment, the FAA has determined that this

proposed regulation is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under

Executive Order 12866. The FAA has determined that the proposed rule

would impose temporary costs on the public. The magnitude of these

costs, while undetermined, are negligible. The benefits would be

increased aviation safety resulting from a lower risk of accidents due

to increased congestion during the Olympics. In addition, the FAA

certifies that this proposed regulation would not have a significant

economic impact, positive or negative, on a substantial number of small

entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. This

proposed regulation is not considered significant under DOT Order

2100.5, Policies and Procedures for Simplification, Analysis, and

Review of Regulations. A Regulatory Flexibility Determination and

International Impact Assessment are set out above. Because the economic

impact of this proposal is likely to be minimal, no formal regulatory

evaluation has been prepared.

listed in this SFAR or NOTAM issued pursuant to this SFAR unless

that person complies with the requirements of this SFAR and NOTAMs

issued pursuant to this SFAR that are applicable to his/her

operations.

B. Slot Reservation System

1. General Description.

Slot reservations for arrivals and departures at specified

airports in the vicinity of the Olympic Games are required for the

period July 17 through August 6, 1996. The FAA believes this action

is necessary for the security of the venues, safe operation and

management of aircraft operating to, within, and from these areas,

and to prevent any unsafe congestion of sightseeing and other

aircraft over the various venues.

2. For purposes of the SFAR:

(a) Airports and airspace areas associated with Olympic activity

which require restriction or prohibition of aviation activity will

be designated in NOTAMs issued pursuant to this SFAR.

(b) Airports listed below and in NOTAMs issued pursuant to this

SFAR are identified as:

VFR Arrival Slot Reservation Airports

Cobb County-McCollum Field Airport (RYY), Marietta, GA

3. Pilots can reserve VFR arrival or IFR arrival and departure

slots at the airports listed in paragraph B.2. of this SFAR by

calling 1-800-96FAA96 (963-2296) 24 hours a day beginning July 14,

1996, 7:00 a.m. (EDT). Reservation slots may be reserved no sooner

than 72 hours before your estimated time of arrival or departure. Be

prepared to provide the following information: Arrival Reservations:

destination airport, estimated time of arrival, call sign, direction

of arrival to the Atlanta area and type aircraft; Departure

Reservations: departure airport, estimated time of departure, call

sign, destination airport, first fix after departure and type

aircraft.

C. Temporary Flight Restriction Areas

The FAA proposes to establish TFR areas over the Olympic Village

and competition sites. The establishment of TFR areas over the

competition venues would result in the restriction of aircraft

operations in these areas, however, access to these areas may be

accommodated with an appropriate authorization from the designated

using agency. ATC would retain the ability to manage aircraft

through the TFR areas in accordance with normal traffic flows.

Operating restrictions within the airspace overlying competition

venues are proposed for the period from 3 hours before to 3 hours

after each event. The additional time that the restrictions are

proposed to be imposed, before and after each event, would

accommodate the observation and planning of ground traffic movement

as well as the facilitation of the orderly movement of aircraft in

and through the airspace above each event. Flight operations would

be restricted within the airspace from the surface to approximately

2500 feet AGL to provide a safe environment.

At the following locations, flight is restricted during the

times of designation:

1. The Olympic Village; Atlanta, Georgia.

That airspace within a 1 NM radius of latitude (lat.)

33 deg.46'35'' N, longitude (long.) 84 deg.23'52'' W (ATL 012R/8.5

NM distance measuring equipment (DME) fix).

Designated altitudes: Surface to but not including 3,500 feet

mean sea level (MSL).

Times of Designation: July 6, 1996 to August 11, 1996, 24 hours

per day.

Using agency: Georgia State Patrol.

Contact: SFC W.S. Smith (770) 919-9929.

2. The Olympic Ring; Atlanta, Georgia.

That airspace within a 3 NM radius of lat. 33 deg.45'27'' N,

long. 84 deg.24'05'' W (ATL 013R/7.4 NM DME fix).

Designated altitudes. Surface to but not including 3,500 feet

MSL.

Times of Designation. July 19, 1996, from 7:00 p.m. local time

to July 20, 1996 at 2:00 a.m.; July 20, 1996 until August 5, 1996,
