[Docket No. FAA–2011–0246; Amendment 

No. 91–321A; SFAR No. 112]

Prohibition Against Certain Flights 

Within the Tripoli Flight Information 

Region (FIR); Extension of Expiration 

Date 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; extension of 

expiration date. 

SUMMARY: This action extends the 

prohibition of flight operations within 

the Tripoli Flight Information Region 

(FIR) 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 a U.S.- 

registered aircraft for a foreign air 

carrier; and operators of U.S.-registered 

civil aircraft, except operators of such 

aircraft that are foreign air carriers. The 

extension of the expiration date is 

necessary to prevent a potential hazard 

to persons and aircraft engaged in such 

flight operations while the FAA 

evaluates whether any amendments to 

the regulation would be appropriate, 

given current conditions in Libya. 

DATES: In this action, amendment 2 to 

§ 91.1603 is effective March 21, 2014. 

Amendment 3 to § 91.1603 is effective 

March 20, 2015. 

SFAR 112 (14 CFR 91.1603), 

published at 76 FR 16236 (March 23, 

2011) and scheduled to expire on March 

21, 2014, will remain in effect. The

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

As a result of safety and national 

security concerns regarding flight 

operations in the Tripoli FIR (HLLL), 

the FAA issued section 91.1603 of title 

14, Code of Federal Regulations, Special 

Federal Aviation Regulation 112 (SFAR 

No. 112), in March 2011. SFAR No. 112 

prohibits 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 a U.S.- 

registered aircraft for a foreign air 

carrier; and operators of U.S.-registered 

civil aircraft, except operators of such 

aircraft that are foreign air carriers, from 

conducting flight operations in the 

Tripoli FIR, except as provided in 

paragraphs (c) and (d) of that SFAR. 

When SFAR No. 112 was issued, an 

armed conflict was ongoing in Libya 

and presented a potential hazard to civil 

aviation. The FAA was concerned that 

runways at Libya’s international 

airports, including the main 

international airports serving Benghazi 

(HLLB) and Tripoli (HLLT), might be 

damaged or degraded. There was also 

concern that air navigation services in 

the Tripoli FIR might be unavailable or 

degraded. In addition, the proliferation 

of air defense weapons, including ManPortable Air-Defense Systems 

(MANPADS), and the presence of 

military operations, including Libyan 

aerial bombardments and unplanned 

military flights entering and departing 

the Tripoli FIR, posed a potential hazard 

to U.S. operators, U.S.-registered 

aircraft, and FAA-certificated airmen 

that might operate within the Tripoli 

FIR. Additionally, the UN Security 

Council adopted Resolution 1973 on 

March 18, 2011, which mandated a ban 

on all flights in the airspace of Libya, 

with certain exceptions. 

Although the Gadhafi regime has been 

overthrown and the UN-mandated ban 

on flights in Libyan airspace has been 

lifted, significant security concerns 

remain for Libya and for the safety of 

U.S. civil aviation operations in that 

country. On December 12, 2013, the 

Department of State issued a Travel 

Warning strongly advising against all 

non-essential travel to Libya. The 

security situation in country remains 

unstable and various groups have called 

for attacks against U.S. citizens and U.S. 

interests in Libya. As a consequence of 

the unpredictable security environment, 

a potential hazard to U.S.-registered 

aircraft, U.S. operators, and FAAcertified airmen still exists. Many 

military-grade weapons remain in the 

hands of private individuals and groups, 

among them anti-aircraft weapons that 

may be used against civil aviation, to 

include MANPADS. The Travel 

Warning also warns that closures or 

threats of closures of the international 

airports occur regularly for 

maintenance, labor, or security-related 

reasons. For these reasons, the FAA 

finds it necessary to extend the 

expiration date of SFAR No. 112 for an 

additional one year. 

Because the circumstances described 

herein warrant immediate action by the 

FAA, I find that notice and public 

comment under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) are 

impracticable and contrary to the public 

interest. Further, I find that good cause 

exists under 5 U.S.C. 553(d) for making 

this rule effective immediately upon 

issuance. I also find that this action is 

fully consistent with the obligations 

under 49 U.S.C. 40105 to ensure that I 

exercise my duties consistently with the 

obligations of the United States under 

international agreements. 

If appropriate, the FAA may amend, 

supersede or rescind SFAR No. 112 

prior to its new expiration date. 

Whether further extension of this SFAR 

will be necessary will depend upon 

conditions in Libya in March 2015, 

which the FAA is unable to predict at 

this time.
