Sec. 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.
