Using agency. 

(a) For the purposes of this subpart, 

the following are using agencies;

tary command whose activity within a 
restricted area necessitated the area 
being so designated. 

(b) Upon the request of the FAA, the 

using agency shall execute a letter es-
tablishing procedures for joint use of a 
restricted area by the using agency and 
the controlling agency, under which 
the using agency would notify the con-
trolling agency whenever the control-
ling agency may grant permission for 
transit through the restricted area in 
accordance with the terms of the let-
ter. 

(c) The using agency shall— 
(1) Schedule activities within the re-

stricted area; 

(2) Authorize transit through, or 

flight within, the restricted area as 
feasible; and 

(3) Contain within the restricted area 

all activities conducted therein in ac-
cordance with the purpose for which it 
was designated. 

§ 73.17

Controlling agency. 

For the purposes of this part, the 

controlling agency is the FAA facility 
that may authorize transit through or 
flight within a restricted area in ac-
cordance with a joint-use letter issued 
under § 73.15. 

§ 73.19

Reports by using agency. 

(a) Each using agency shall prepare a 

report on the use of each restricted 
area assigned thereto during any part 
of the preceding 12-month period ended 
September 30, and transmit it by the 
following January 31 of each year to 
the Manager, Air Traffic Division in 
the regional office of the Federal Avia-
tion Administration having jurisdic-
tion over the area in which the re-
stricted area is located, with a copy to 
the Program Director for Air Traffic 
Airspace Management, Federal Avia-

tion Administration, Washington, DC 
20591. 

(b) In the report under this section 

the using agency shall: 

(1) State the name and number of the 

restricted area as published in this 
part, and the period covered by the re-
port. 

(2) State the activities (including av-

erage daily number of operations if ap-
propriate) conducted in the area, and 
any other pertinent information con-
cerning current and future electronic 
monitoring devices. 

(3) State the number of hours daily, 

the days of the week, and the number 
of weeks during the year that the area 
was used. 

(4) For restricted areas having a 

joint-use designation, also state the 
number of hours daily, the days of the 
week, and the number of weeks during

(5) State the mean sea level altitudes

priate) used in aircraft operations and 
the maximum and average ordinate of 
surface firing (expressed in feet, mean 
sea level altitude) used on a daily, 
weekly, and yearly basis. 

(6) Include a chart of the area (of op-

tional scale and design) depicting, if 
used, aircraft operating areas, flight 
patterns, ordnance delivery areas, sur-
face firing points, and target, fan, and 
impact areas. After once submitting an 
appropriate chart, subsequent annual 
charts are not required unless there is 
a change in the area, activity or alti-
tude (or flight levels) used, which 
might alter the depiction of the activi-
ties originally reported. If no change is 
to be submitted, a statement indi-
cating ‘‘no change’’ shall be included in 
the report. 

(7) Include any other information not 

otherwise required under this part 
which is considered pertinent to activi-
ties carried on in the restricted area. 

(c) If it is determined that the infor-

mation submitted under paragraph (b) 
of this section is not sufficient to
