## Abstract

This action removes Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) No. 82, which prohibits flight operations within the territory and airspace of Sudan by any United States air carrier or commercial operator, by any person exercising the privileges of an airman certificate issued by the FAA, or by an operator using an aircraft registered in the United States unless the operator of such aircraft is a foreign air carrier. This action is taken in response to the decrease in the tensions that followed U.S. military strikes against terrorist and industrial facilities associated with Usama Bin Ladin in Sudan and Afghanistan, which has reduced the threat of hostile actions against persons and aircraft engaged in flight operations within Sudan's territory and airspace.
