In addition, the FAA has determined U.S. civil aviation operations may continue safely at this time in the remainder of the Sanaa FIR OYSC.
Specifically, U.S. civil aviation operations remain permitted in that airspace west of a line drawn direct from KAPET 163322N 0530614E to NODMA 152603N 0533359E, southwest of a line drawn direct from NODMA to ORBAT 140638N

115500N 0463500E, north of a line drawn direct from PAKER to PARIM
123142N 0432712E, and east of a line drawn direct from PARIM to RIBOK
154700N 0415230E. Operations on jet routes UT702 and M999 also remain permitted.
Further amendments to SFAR No.
115, 91.1611, might be appropriate if the risk to U.S. civil aviation safety and security changes. In this regard, the FAA will continue to monitor the situation and evaluate the extent to which persons described in paragraph a of this rule might be able to operate safely in the specified areas of the Sanaa FIR OYSC.
The FAA also republishes the details concerning the approval and exemption processes in sections V and VI of this preamble, consistent with other recently published flight prohibition SFARs, to enable interested persons to refer to this final rule for comprehensive information about requesting relief from the FAA from the provisions of SFAR
No. 115, 91.1611.
