Section 2. Processing

22-2-1. SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS

a. Submit prohibited area proposals to the service area office for processing in accordance with the requirements in Chapter 21 of this order. Although specifying a minimum processing time is impractical, at least 6 months would be needed for a routine, non-controversial proposal.

b. The restrictions imposed by a prohibited area may be highly controversial and require in-depth study as well as strong justification.

22-2-2. REGIONAL/SERVICE AREA OFFICE ACTIONS

After completing the requirements of Chapter 21, prohibited area proposals must be forwarded to Airspace Regulations and ATC Procedures Group for final determination.
