the following persons: 

(1) All U.S. air carriers and U.S. com-

mercial operators; 

(2) All persons exercising the privi-

leges of an airman certificate issued by 
the FAA, except when such persons are 
operating U.S.-registered aircraft for a 
foreign air carrier; and 

(3) All operators of U.S.-registered 

civil aircraft, except where the oper-
ator of such aircraft is a foreign air 
carrier. 

(b) 

Flight prohibition. 

Except as pro-

Permitted operations. 

This section 

does not prohibit persons described in 
paragraph (a) of this section from con-
ducting flight operations in the 
Pyongyang Flight Information Region 
(FIR) (ZKKP), provided that such flight 
operations are conducted under a con-
tract, grant, or cooperative agreement 
with a department, agency, or instru-
mentality of the U.S. government (or 
under a subcontract between the prime 
contractor of the department, agency, 
or instrumentality and the person de-
scribed in paragraph (a) of this section) 
with the approval of the FAA, or under 
an exemption issued by the FAA. The 
FAA will consider requests for ap-
proval or exemption in a timely man-
ner, with the order of preference being:

cept for U.S. air carriers and commer-
cial operators that are subject to the

from this section must, within 10 days 
of the deviation, excluding Saturdays, 
Sundays, and Federal holidays, submit 
to the responsible Flight Standards Of-
fice a complete report of the operations 
of the aircraft involved in the devi-
ation, including a description of the de-
viation and the reasons for it.

This SFAR will remain 

in effect until September 18, 2020. The 
FAA may amend, rescind, or extend 
this SFAR, as necessary.
