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.
