Amendment of Restricted Areas R-6703A, B, C, D; and Establishment of Restricted Areas R-6703E, F, G, H, I, and J; WA

This action modifies the internal boundaries of R-6703 by further subdividing the airspace from the current four subareas (A through D) to ten subareas (A through J). This change is totally contained within the current outer boundaries of R-6703. The designated altitudes and time of designation remain as currently published. In addition, the name "Fort Lewis, WA," in the titles of the restricted areas is changed to "Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA. The name of the using agency is changed from "Commanding General, Fort Lewis, WA," to "Joint Base Garrison Commander, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA." The name changes are the result of Department of Defense organizational consolidations. In addition to better accommodating training requirements, this also allows more efficient use of airspace through increased ability to activate only those subareas actually needed for the mission.
