View Rule

On April 6, 2019, the FAA issued KICZ Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) A0012/19, prohibiting all flight operations in the territory and airspace of Libya from west of 17 degrees east longitude and north of 29 degrees north latitude by all: U.S. air carriers; U.S. commercial operators; persons exercising the privileges of an airman certificate issued by the FAA, except when such persons are operating U.S.-registered aircraft for a foreign air carrier; and operators of U.S.-registered civil aircraft, except where the operator of such aircraft is a foreign air carrier due to the ongoing military conflict in Libya. This rulemaking amends Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) No. 112, Prohibition Against Certain Flights in the Tripoli Flight Information Region (FIR) (HLLL), to incorporate the flight prohibition contained in KICZ NOTAM A0012/19 in the Code of Federal Regulations.

Overall Description of Deadline: FAA flight prohibition NOTAMs are issued as emergency orders of the Administrator under 49 U.S.C. 40113(a) and 46105(c). After the Administrator issues an emergency order under section 46105(c), the Administrator is required to begin a proceeding immediately about the emergency and give preference, when practicable, to the proceeding.
