Amendment of Restricted Area 5201, Fort Drum, NY

This action amends the designated altitudes for Restricted Area R-5201 (R-5201), Fort Drum, NY, by designating the ceiling of the airspace at 23,000 feet mean sea level (MSL) on a year-round basis. Currently, the upper altitude limit for the restricted area changes from 23,000 feet MSL for the period April 1 through September 30 to 20,000 feet MSL for the period October 1 through March 31. Increased training requirements at Fort Drum have resulted in a regular need for restricted airspace up to 23,000 feet MSL throughout the year. This modification does not alter the current boundaries, time of designation, or activities conducted in R-5201.
