the using agency would notify the con-

accordance with the terms of the let-

(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-

§ 73.17
Controlling agency.
For the purposes of this part, the

cordance with a joint-use letter issued
under § 73.15.
§ 73.19
Reports by using agency.
(a) Each using agency must 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, Operations Support
Group in the ATO Service Center office
of the Federal Aviation Administration
having jurisdiction over the area in
which the restricted area is located,
with a copy to the Manager, Airspace
Policy Group, Federal Aviation Admin-
istration, 800 Independence Avenue SW,
Washington, DC 20591.
(b) In the report under this section
the using agency must:
(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
the year that the restricted area was
released to the controlling agency for
public use.
(5) State the mean sea level altitudes
or flight levels (whichever is appro-
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,

(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
evaluate the nature and extent of the
use of a restricted area, the FAA may
request the using agency to submit
supplementary reports. Within 60 days
after receiving a request for additional
information, the using agency must
submit such information as the FAA
Service Center Operations Support
Group Manager considers appropriate.
