Explanation

In Figure 26 the tower under construction ('1727 UC') just east of Jamestown lies inside the magenta dashed line around JMS, which marks Class E airspace extending to the surface. Under 14 CFR 107.41 a small UA needs prior ATC authorization to operate within the lateral boundaries of a Class E surface area designated for an airport. No military or National Park Service area covers this spot.
