1. Department of Energy (DOE) Nuclear Facilities are National
Security Areas and are identified on VFR Sectionals. Army aircraft
will not overfly DOE nuclear facilities below 2000’ AGL except
when:
a. Flight across a facility is necessary because of an
emergency or military necessity.
b. A VFR flight is forced below 2000’ AGL because of
weather and the pilot cannot circumnavigate the area.
c. Flight is in support of a DOE requirement or mission.
2. When an exception as outlined in a. and b. above occurs, the
pilot will attempt to communicate, by telephone or radio, with
the particular DOE facility prior to overflight of the facility. In the
event contact cannot be established prior to overflight, the pilot
will report to the DOE facility after the fact. Telephone calls
concerning overflights will be paid for by DOE. Army personnel
will reverse charges for all such calls.

1. Air Traffic Control responsibilities for the Alaska-Aleutian
Chain area are delegated to the FAA and USAF. The USAF
maintains a VFR tower at the Eareckson AS (PASY/SYA). Control
over the remainder of the Aleutian Chain is performed by the
Anchorage (PAZA/ZAN) Center Radar Approach Control Facility.
The FAA is responsible for all controlled airspace in the domestic
and oceanic control areas of Alaska. Flight Following Service is
provided by the FAA for all military aircraft operating within
Alaska and the Anchorage Oceanic Control Area. This service for
IFR aircraft is provided by the Anchorage (PAZA/ZAN) Center
Radar Approach Control Facilities and for VFR aircraft by FAA
