Action
Interim final rule; request for comments.
Summary
This action requires that notice be filed with the FAA for the construction or alteration of any object that exceeds 50 feet above ground level (AGL) and is within the existing prohibited airspace surrounding the private residence of the President of the United States (P-49). Due to national security interests and the unique operating requirements of the United States Marine Corps (USMC) and the Secret Service Presidential Protective Division (SSPPD), this rule provides that any object within the designated area that exceeds the obstruction standard will be deemed a hazard to air navigation unless the FAA concludes, based upon submitted information and in consultation with the USMC and the SSPPD, that the construction or alteration will not adversely affect safety and would not result in a hazard to air navigation. This rule is adopted for purposes of national defense and will assist in protecting the President of the United States. This rule does not apply to prior construction or alteration of objects and will terminate at the end of the President's term in office.
