Based on this lifting of restrictions, Okinawa FEML designation now expires 1 August 2022.

Individuals with FEML travel reservations to begin after July 31 must contact their approving officials for additional guidance and to align existing travel with updated policy, as feasible. All FEML travel must begin on or before July 31.
