 A BILL

 To direct the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration to 
 issue or revise regulations to provide for temporary flight 
 restrictions in the vicinity of outdoor music festivals.

 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

 This Act may be cited as the ``Protecting Outdoor Concerts Act of 
2025''.

SEC. 2. TEMPORARY FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS FOR OUTDOOR CONCERTS OR MUSIC 
 FESTIVALS.

    (a) In General.--Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment 
of this Act, the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration 
shall issue or revise regulations to ensure that the Federal Aviation 
Administration issues a Notice to Airmen designating an area of 
airspace in which a temporary flight restriction applies to manned 
aircraft and unmanned aircraft when the Administrator determines that a 
temporary flight restriction is necessary to protect persons or 
property on the surface or in the air, to maintain air safety and 
efficiency, or to prevent the unsafe congestion of aircraft in the 
vicinity of an outdoor concert or music festival with an attendance of 
not fewer than 30,000 people per day.

    (b) Relationship to Existing Regulations.--In issuing or revising 
regulations under subsection

    (a) , the Administrator, to the extent 
practicable, shall--

    (1) treat an outdoor concert or music festival in the same 
 manner as an aerial demonstration or major sporting event is 
 treated under 

section 91.145 of title 14, Code of Federal 
 Regulations; and

    (2) designate areas of airspace in which a temporary flight 
 restriction applies in the same manner as areas are designated 
 under 

section 44812 of title 49, United States Code, with 
 respect to unmanned aircraft.
