    This change clarifies the times associated with using the 24‐hour clock as the day begins at 0000 and ends at 2359 when determining specific hours in the time of designation/times of use information published in SUA descriptions. Associated TBL 21-2-1, Examples of Special Use Airspace Legal Descriptions, isalso updated.

  2.  32-1-5 RESPONSIBILITIES
    32-2-1 THE PROCESS

    This change more clearly defines the maintenance actions as being initiated by AJV-A and designated Non‐FAA Service Providers rather than AFS that only provides oversight of such maintenance actions.

    32–3–1. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT CATEGORIES TO BE INCLUDED IN ANALYSIS
    32–3–2. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT CATEGORIES EXCLUDED FROM ANALYSIS
    32-4-3. ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE (TITLE VI/NEPA)

    This change removes the mention of greenhouse gas emissions and environmental justice analysis to bring this order into compliance with the January 29, 2025, Office of the Secretary of Transportation (OST) memo with the subject “Implementation of Executive Orders Addressing Energy, Climate Change, Diversity, and Gender.”

  4.  32-2-2. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW OF FLIGHT PROCEDURES AND OTHER AIR TRAFFIC ACTIONS

    This change provides new text in Chapter 32 that instructs Service Center Environmental Specialists on how canceled flight procedures should be reviewed for environmental impacts in accordance with this Chapter, and under the National Environmental Policy Act and FAA Order 1050.1G (FAA National Environmental Policy Act Implementing Procedures).

    e. Editorial Changes

    Editorial changes include adding “regional/”to subparagraph 2-4-3a to be consistent with subparagraph 2-4-3c; a universal editorial change to update terms from the National Aeronautical Charting office to FAA's Aeronautical Information Services (AIS) and updating National Flight Data Center (NFDC) for its replacement AIS, and the term AeroNav Products is removed for the term AIS; updating references to FAA Order 1050.1 (which used an outdated title of the order) in paragraphs 21-1-9 and 24-2-3; and fixing a broken reference in subparagraph 32-1-5f1(b).

    f. Entire Publication

    Additional editorial/format changes were made where necessary. Revision bars were not used because of the insignificant nature of these changes.
