§  87.395   Plan for the Security Control of Air Traffic and Air Navigation
Aids (Short Title: SCATANA).

   (a) The Plan for the Security Control of Air Traffic and Air Navigation
   Aids (SCATANA) is promulgated in furtherance of the Federal Aviation
   Act of 1958, as amended, the Communications Act and Executive Order
   11490, as amended. SCATANA defines the responsibilities of the
   Commission for the security control of non-Federal air navigation aids.

   (b) Under the responsibilities defined in SCATANA, an FCC Support Plan
   for the Security Control of Non-Federal Air Navigation Aids has been
   developed by the Commission. The FCC Support Plan defines
   responsibilities, procedures, and instructions in consonance with
   SCATANA which will effect control of non-Federal air navigation aids
   when SCATANA is implemented. It permits the use of such navigation aids
   by aircraft of military and civil agencies when SCATANA is implemented.
   The FCC Support Plan highlights those parts of SCATANA which deal
   specifically with non-Federal air navigation aids. SCATANA and the FCC
   Support Plan apply to radionavigation stations authorized by the
   Commission in the following manner:

   (1) All licensees are subject to restrictions imposed by appropriate
   military authorities pursuant to SCATANA and the FCC Support Plan when
   an Air Defense Emergency or Defense Emergency exists or is imminent.
   The restrictions will be imposed through FAA Air Route Traffic Control
   Centers (ARTCCs).

   (2) All licensees of aeronautical radionavigation (VOR/DME, ILS, MLS,
   LF and MF non-directional beacons) stations will comply with SCATANA
   implementation instructions from FAA ARTCCs as follows:

   (i) Shut down the above navigation aids as directed. These instructions
   will permit time to land or disperse airborne aircraft, and will permit
   extension of time when the air traffic situation dictates.

   (ii) Shut down as soon as possible stations which require more than
   five minutes control time, unless directed otherwise or unless such
   stations are essential for the handling of existing air traffic.

   (iii) Operate aeronautical radionavigation stations to ensure that
   required stations, as indicated in flight plans, will be available for
   authorized aircraft flights.

   (3) Licensees of aeronautical radionavigation stations will be notified
   of the reduction or removal of SCATANA restrictions by FAA ARTCCs when
   notice of the termination is issued.

   (4) Licensees of aeronautical radionavigation stations may voluntarily
   participate in SCATANA tests as requested by an ARTCC. SCATANA testing
   must not interrupt the normal service of non-Federal air navigation
   aids.
