　政府は１５日、安全保障上重要な土地の利用を規制する重要土地等調査法に基づき、第４弾の指定区域の運用を開始した。対象は２８都道府県の計１８４カ所。これにより、予定していた全５８３カ所で同法の効力が発生することになった。
　沖縄県の在日米軍施設を初指定。嘉手納基地（嘉手納町など）や普天間飛行場（宜野湾市）、キャンプ・シュワブ（名護市）などが選ばれた。原子力施設では、東京電力柏崎刈羽原発（新潟県柏崎市、刈羽村）などに加え、能登半島地震で被害を受けた北陸電力志賀原発（石川県志賀町）も対象となった。（2024/05/15-17:41）

The Japanese government started monitoring under law 184 last designated areas with national security significance in 28 of Japan's 47 prefectures on Wednesday, finishing enforcing regulations in all 583 such areas in the country.
   The fourth and final round of designations of important areas under the country's defense policy covered U.S. military facilities in Okinawa Prefecture for the first time, which include Kadena Air Base, Marine Corps Air Station Futenma and Camp Schwab.
   Areas surrounding Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc.'s Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant in Niigata Prefecture and Hokuriku Electric Power Co.'s Shika nuclear plant in Jan. 1 earthquake-hit Ishikawa Prefecture were also designated.
   The law to regulate the use of real estate with security significance defines zones of 1 kilometer around important sites such as Self-Defense Forces bases, nuclear plants and remote border islands as "monitored areas," with areas of higher importance regarded as "special monitored areas."
   It allows the government to look into land use within such areas and to check acts that impede the operations of the key facilities.
