  • Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 13112
    Reading Time:about 15 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing to establish new restricted airspace areas at Camp Lejeune and Cherry Point in North Carolina. The new areas, designated as R-5305A, R-5305B, R-5305C, R-5307A, R-5307B, and R-5307C, aim to connect with existing restricted areas to form larger zones needed for training activities that involve hazardous tasks like deploying weapons and using non-eye safe lasers. This will support the U.S. Marine Corps in conducting realistic training exercises. The public is invited to comment by May 5, 2025, on the proposal, which will also undergo an environmental analysis before any final decisions are made.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to create extra special areas in the sky near two places in North Carolina—Camp Lejeune and Cherry Point—where planes can't go because the military needs to practice using things like fake weapons and lasers safely. They're asking people to share their thoughts about this idea by May 5, 2025.

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) extended the comment period for a proposed rule to establish restricted airspace in North Carolina at Camp Lejeune and Cherry Point. This extension, which pushes the deadline from May 5, 2025, to May 9, 2025, is due to a planned outage of the comment submission website. The FAA encourages public participation and invites comments on various aspects of the proposal, ensuring that comments are considered even if filed after the deadline if it can be done efficiently.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA is asking people to share their thoughts about plans to create special sky areas, like no-fly zones, over certain parts of North Carolina. They gave people more time to share these thoughts because their website was going to be down for a while.
