§ 124.11 Real-time air traffic control notification.
(a) Notification required. Any SLTT law enforcement or correctional agency, or its personnel, that activates a C-UAS system for mitigation purposes must, within five minutes of activation or as soon as operationally practicable, provide verbal or electronic notification to the notification point designated by the Federal Aviation Administration for real-time C-UAS coordination, using the procedures established under paragraph (b) of this section. Detection and warning operations do not require notification or coordination under this section.
(b) Notification procedures. An SLTT law enforcement or correctional agency must comply with the notification and reporting procedures jointly established by the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, and the Federal Aviation Administration for real-time communication to air traffic control of C-UAS mitigation actions using a radio frequency-emitting C-UAS system. The notification must identify the type of C-UAS action, the time of activation, and the location. The NCUTC will include training on these notification procedures in the mitigation training course.
(c) Notification upon termination. Upon termination of the mitigation action, the SLTT law enforcement or correctional agency must provide a follow-up notification to the designated Federal Aviation Administration notification point confirming the time of termination.
(d) Non-RF mitigation. Mitigation actions that do not involve radio frequency-emitting systems do require notification under this section unless the Department of Transportation or Federal Aviation Administration's applicable notification procedures established under this section provide otherwise. Such actions remain subject to the advance coordination and post-operation reporting requirements of §§ 124.9 and 124.13.
