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.

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.

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.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has updated the schedule for restricted airspace at the Grand Bay Weapons Range in Georgia. This change extends the hours during which these areas (R-3008A, R-3008B, R-3008C, and R-3008D) can be activated without requiring a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM), aligning the published hours more closely with their actual use. As a result, pilots will have a clearer understanding of when these areas are typically in use, and the workload related to issuing NOTAMs will be reduced. The rule change becomes effective on April 22, 2021.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has made changes to the restricted airspace areas R-2103A and R-2103B at Fort Novosel, Alabama, and created a new restricted area R-2103C. These adjustments alter the height limits for these zones but do not change their lateral boundaries or increase total airspace. The primary objective is to align these areas with daily mission needs and to allow joint use by non-participant aircraft when U.S. Army training is not in progress. The changes are effective from April 17, 2025, and have no significant environmental or economic impacts.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has updated the using agency for Restricted Area R-4305 over Lake Superior, Minnesota. Previously, the using agency was the 55th Wing of the U.S. Air Force at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska. Now, it has been changed to the 148th Fighter Wing at Duluth International Airport in Minnesota. This administrative change does not affect the restricted area's boundaries, altitudes, or the activities within it, and it is intended to align responsibilities with the current military organization managing the area.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has started an investigation to determine if pentafluoroethane (R-125) imported from China receives unfair government subsidies that harm U.S. industries. The investigation was prompted by a petition from Honeywell International, Inc. claiming these imports are causing material injury to the domestic industry. This investigation will assess if Chinese producers of R-125 are benefiting from subsidies and if this harms the U.S. market. Commerce has requested information from various parties and set deadlines for comments and factual submissions related to the investigation.
