Section 2. Processing
25-2-1. SUBMISSION OF
PROPOSALS
Submit MOA proposals, other
than temporary MOAs, to the service area office
at least 8 months prior to the desired effective
date (see paragraph
25-2-2 for temporary MOA proposals). The
following schedule is an estimate of the minimum
time needed to process proposals that are
non-controversial, without significant
aeronautical impact, and require only routine
coordination.
NOTE-
Proposals that are complex, controversial, or
require extensive environmental analysis could
need up to 24 months or more additional
processing time beyond that shown in
TBL 25-2-1.

25-2-2. TEMPORARY MOA PROCESSING
a. Submit temporary
MOA proposals to the service area office at
least 4 months prior to desired effective date
(See TBL 25-2-2).
When there is a known requirement for multiple
activations of the same temporary MOA over a
specific time period, proponents are encouraged
to combine the requests into a single proposal
covering the entire period. This will provide
notice to the public that is more effective and
reduce administrative processing workload.
b. Temporary MOA
effective dates are determined by the exercise
requirements rather than the 56-day en route
chart cycle used for permanent SUA.
Consequently, a shorter overall processing time
is required.
c. See paragraph
21-1-15
of this order for graphic notice and narrative
description information to be submitted with the
proposal package.
d. For recurring
temporary MOAs, an abbreviated proposal package
may be submitted at the discretion of the
service area office. See paragraph
21-3-4
of this order for details.
