Construction or Alteration in the Vicinity of the Private Residence of the President of the United States

On April 22, 2003, the FAA adopted requirements concerning proposed construction or alteration of structures in the vicinity of the private residence of the President of the United States in Crawford, Texas. The rule requires that notice be filed with the FAA for the proposed construction or alteration of any object that exceeds 50 feet above ground level (AGL) and is within the existing lateral confines of the prohibited airspace over the private residence of the President of the United States (P-49). The rule was adopted for purposes of national defense and will assist in protecting the President of the United States. The rule does not apply to prior construction or alteration of objects and the rule will terminate at the end of the President's term in office. This action is a summary and disposition of comments received on the interim final rule.
