    Reading Time:about 22 minutes

    The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing to rename the existing restricted airspace area R-2206 to R-2206A and establish six new restricted areas—R-2206B to R-2206G—above the Clear Air Force Station in Clear, Alaska. These changes are to protect aircraft from high-intensity radiation from the Long Range Discrimination Radar, essential for the U.S. missile defense system. The proposal was requested by the U.S. Air Force to ensure aviation safety by segregating non-participating aircraft. The public is invited to submit comments on this proposal before April 26, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The FAA wants to make part of the sky over a military base in Alaska off-limits to regular planes like a no-fly zone to keep them safe from strong radar signals. They're asking people to share their thoughts on these changes until April 26, 2021.

  • 2021-03449 — Notice To Reopen Public Scoping for the Homeland Defense Radar in Hawaii Environmental Impact Statement
    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 11734
    Reading Time:about 6 minutes

    The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is reopening the public comment period for the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) related to the Homeland Defense Radar-Hawaii (HDR-H) project. This radar aims to detect and monitor long-range ballistic missile threats. The EIS will explore the possible environmental impacts of constructing and operating this radar on two Hawaiian islands. The public has a 45-day window to submit comments, which will be considered in the draft EIS analysis. Due to COVID-19, public scoping meetings will be held online instead of in person.

    Simple Explanation

    The Missile Defense Agency wants to hear what people think about building a big radar in Hawaii to spot far-away missiles, and they are doing the "ask for ideas" part online because of COVID-19. They will listen to people’s ideas for 45 days to help them figure out what the radar might do to the environment on the islands.
