✈️Comment Period Extended for New Restricted Airspaces in NC
This action provides a second extension of the comment period for a NPRM that was originally published on March 20, 2025. In that document, the FAA proposed to establish restricted areas R-5305A, R- 5305B, and R-5305C at Camp Lejeune, NC; and restricted areas R-5307A, R-5307B, and R-5307C at Cherry Point, NC. A four-day extension to the comment period was previously issued on April 16, 2025. The present extension provides an additional two weeks for comments in response to a request by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) to extend the comment period to analyze newly provided supporting graphics.

This action extends the comment period for a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that was published on March 20, 2025. In that document, the FAA proposed to establish restricted areas R-5305A, R-5305B, and R-5305C at Camp Lejeune, NC; and restricted areas R-5307A, R-5307B, and R-5307C at Cherry Point, NC.

This action proposes to establish restricted areas R-5305A, R- 5305B, and R-5305C; Camp Lejeune, NC; and restricted areas R-5307A, R- 5307B, and R-5307C; Cherry Point, NC. The purpose of this proposal is to create additional restricted area airspace to connect restricted area R-5003, R-5004, and R-5306 complexes to contain hazardous activities such as weapon deployment, non-eye safe lasers, and artillery within larger contiguous restricted area airspace that is required to realistically simulate essential training mission tasks.
