Congresswoman Lois Frankel (FL-22) recently joined Palm Beach County Commissioner Gregg Weiss, Palm Beach Mayor Danielle Moore, and local residents to raise concerns about the FAA’s proposal and explain how members of the public can make their voices heard through the agency’s formal comment process.

Following the event, Rep. Frankel sent a letter to FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford requesting that the FAA:

• Delay action on the proposal to make the restrictions permanent;
• Extend the public comment period by 60 days, through December 1, 2026, if the agency moves forward, so residents have adequate time to review the proposal and respond;
• Hold a public meeting in Palm Beach County so affected residents can ask questions, provide input, and hear directly from the FAA; and
• Establish a clear and expedited process to modify or end the restrictions if security circumstances change, rather than locking the community into restrictions that may no longer be necessary.
