Background
The FAA originally published a NPRM for Docket No. FAA 2025-0273 in
the Federal Register (90 FR 13112; March 20, 2025), proposing 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. Subsequent to publication of the NPRM, the FAA
determined that a four-day extension of the comment period was
appropriate due to a planned four-day outage of the Federal Register
comment submission website during the period of public comment. An
extension of the comment period was accordingly published in the
Federal Register on April 16, 2025 (90 FR 15944) extending the comment
period from May 5, 2025 to May 9, 2025.
On April 29, 2025, the FAA received a request from the Aircraft
Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) to include graphical depictions in
Docket No. FAA 2025-0273 of the proposed restricted areas R-5305A, R-
5305B, and R-5305C at Camp Lejeune, NC; and proposed restricted areas
R-5307A, R-5307B, and R-5307C at Cherry Point, NC. Subsequently, the
requested graphics of each proposed restricted area were uploaded to
the docket. Additionally, AOPA further requested that the comment
period be extended by two weeks, to May 23, 2025, to allow additional
time for the public to analyze the graphics and to provide feedback.
The FAA finds it appropriate for the comment period to be extended and
hereby grants a two-week extension as requested.
Extension of Comment Period
The FAA has determined that an extension of the comment period is
consistent with the public interest, and that good cause exists for
taking this action. Therefore, pursuant to the authority delegated to
me, the comment period for Docket No. FAA-2025-0273; Airspace Docket
No. 23-ASO-43 originally published in the Federal Register on March 20,
2025 (90 FR 13112), is extended until May 23, 2025.
Issued in Washington, DC, on May 2, 2025.

Manager (A), Rules and Regulations Group.
