§ 245.3 The SCATANA Plan.

(a) Purpose. The purpose of this part is to establish responsibilities, procedures and instructions for the security control of civil and military air traffic and NAVAIDS which will provide for the most effective use of airspace under various emergency conditions.

(b) Authority. (1) The Joint Chiefs of Staff directives which outline NORAD responsibilities for the development of plans and policies in concert with the FAA and FCC for the establishment of a system for identification and security control of air traffic and air NAVAIDS.

(2) Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended.

(3) Communications Act of 1934, as amended.

(4) Executive Order 11490.

(5) The National Security Act of 1947, as amended.

(c) Scope. This part applies to all United States territory over which the FAA has air traffic control jurisdiction. For the purpose of this part, the appropriate military authorities within this territory are as follows:

(1) For the NORAD area of responsibility, NORAD region commanders have been designated as appropriate military authority by CINCNORAD.

(2) Outside the NORAD area, the commander, or his designated representative, of the unified-specified command exercising operational control over the area.

(d) General description of the plan. This part is intended to meet two types of situations. These are outlined below, together with a general summary of the actions required.

(1) In the first situation, an emergency may develop which does not meet the criteria for the declaration of a Defense Emergency or Air Defense

Emergency, but in the interests of hemispheric and national security requires identification and control of all aircraft operating in the defense area, its coastal approaches or any parts of these areas. Under such conditions, the following actions, which are described in more detail in § 245.3, will be taken:

(i) The appropriate military authority will direct the FAA Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) concerned to apply Emergency Security Control of Air Traffic (ESCAT) in the affected area.

(ii) The ARTCC will advise all aircraft operating under its control and relay ESCAT implementation instructions to appropriate aeronautical facilities within its area that ESCAT rules have been applied and will then issue any special security instructions which are required to identify, locate and ensure immediate control of all air traffic.

(iii) When ESCAT is applied, all aircraft must file IFR or DVFR flight plans and comply with the special security instructions issued. These instructions may require diverting or rerouting airborne flights and, using a system of security control authorizations, restrictions to proposed flights not already airborne.

(2) In the second situation, an emergency will have arisen which has resulted in the declaration of Defense Emergency outside the NORAD area, Air Defense Emergency within the NORAD area, or both of these. Under such conditions the following actions, described in detail in § 245.5, will be taken:

(i) The appropriate military authority will direct the FAA ARTCC concerned to implement Security Control of Air Traffic and Air Navigation Aids (SCATANA).

(ii) The ARTCC will relay SCATANA implementation to appropriate aeronautical facilities, will direct all VFR traffic under its control to land and file an IFR/ DVFR flight plan, and will implement other directions specified by the appropriate military authority. These may include grounding, diversion and other restrictions to flight, plus the control of navigation aids.

(iii) Aircraft movements will be controlled by the use of the WATPL except for specific exceptions which will be controlled by using a SecurityControl Authorization.

(iv) The NORAD Region in its trans mission of SCATANA air traffic con trol instructions to the ARTCC will clearly state which WATPL Numbers are authorized to operate. This infor mation will also include any specia authorizations for operations under Security Control Authorizations pro cedures (see § 245.8).

(e) Amplifying Instructions—(1) I terference with normal air traffic. Thi will be minimized, consistent with th requirement for operation of the defense system.

(2) Supplements for essential cit air operations. Appropriate Unified Specified commands, in collaboration so with the FAA region directors will pre pare annexes and agreements supple menting this plan for their area of re sponsibility. These supplements are consider the special requirements organized civil defense and disaste - : relief flights, agricultural and fores fire flights, border patrol flights an other essential civil air operations t the end that maximum use of thes flights, consistent with air defense re quirements will be made when SC TANA and ESCAT are in effect.

(3) Vital military flights to have p ority. Military air operations vital t national defense are to be given priore. ty over all other military and civil al craft through procedural handling bị: : the Air Traffic Control (ATC) system as specified in coordinated agreement or authorizations for particular open ations (see § 245.8).

(4) One Military authority to direc ARTCCS. In consonance with this plan, appropriate military authorities will direct the extent of security con trol of air traffic and air navigation aids as required by the military situa tion. Such directions will be issued to appropriate FAA ARTCCs for imple mentation. The area of responsibility of the appropriate military authority may not be congruent with ARTCC boundaries, especially in the NORAD area where one ARTCC's boundaries may lie within two or more NORAD regions. To prevent confusion, agree

ments will be developed between appropriate military authorities and the ARTCCS concerned to ensure that each ARTCC receives direction from ɔne military authority only. Unless operational requirements dictate othrwise, directed SCATANA actions will ›e consistent throughout an individual ARTCC area.

(5) Tactical air movements plans. To ssist appropriate military authorities n making a preliminary assessment of artine air traffic patterns and to implify the transition to SCATANA perations, major commands are to cordinate the air traffic movement seclon of their Emergency War Plans including dispersal and evacuation) nd preposition flight plan informaion with appropriate military authoriles. This authority is the NORAD egion commander within the NORAD rea of responsibility. Detailed reuirements are explained in § 245.6. (6) Testing procedures. To insure hat implementing actions can be aken expeditiously, SCATANA tests vill be conducted periodically in acordance with § 245.10.

(7) Dispersal actions. Prior to or subequent to the declaration of a Deense Emergency or an Air Defense mergency, there may be a requireaent to disperse civil and military airraft for their protection. If such disersal plans are implemented when ny part of this plan has been placed n effect, operations will be in accordnce with the requirements of that >ortion of the SCATANA plan which s in effect. If any part of the SCA"ANA plan is ordered while dispersal s in progress, dispersal operations will De revised as required to comply with SCATANA.

(8) Communications. Direct communications are authroized between appropriate agencies and units for the purpose of coordinating and implementing the procedures in this plan.

(9) Review and revision. All concerned agencies are encouraged to continuously monitor this plan for adequacy and currency. Hq NORAD, acting as executive agent for DoD, will process and distribute administrative and organizational changes as they occur. However, this plan will be reviewed at least once every two years

by FAA, FCC, and NORAD and reissued or changed as required. Recommended changes should be forwarded to:

Headquarters, North American Air Defense Command.

Ent Air Force Base, Colorado 80912.
