the Mideast and Turkey and Western Europe on commercial carriers
.must transit Bulgaria enroute. The current system of hazardous
activity restrictions prohibits transit of Bulgaria. without a, waiver
granted by appropriate authority, by persons restricted due to.
compartmented intelligence access.

inordinate number of such waivers for otherwise unrestricted travel,
the following policy will be in effect for the duration of the above-
mentioned situation:
Waiver of hazardous activity restrictions will not
be required for transit of Bulgaria. when performed on
board US carriers or commercial aircraft of a friendly
nation when the flight neither originates nor terminates
in a restricted country and when there are no scheduled
intermediate stops within such restricted areas.
