The FAA can and has shut down modeling (see attached). Note highlighted section page 2. These actions are known as NOTAMs and TFRs (see link)

With regard to PL-0112-96 SEC 336 (a) (5) do you disagree with this statement below?
"This requirement is consistent with longstanding FAA guidance for model aircraft operators. See AC 91-57, para. 3 (advising model aircraft operators to notify an airport operator, control tower, for flight service station when planning to operate within three miles of an airport)."
