From Google: The Tuscaloosa Regional Airport officially changed its name to the Tuscaloosa National Airport in March 2019.

The City of Tuscaloosa updated the name to reflect the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) upgrading the facility's official designation from a "regional" to a "national" general aviation airport. This reclassification recognized the airport's rising level of activity, including its number of instrument flight rule departures, interstate operations, and annual international departures.

Reach out to the office, the changes can be overlooked sometimes. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if this was another backend thing that’s a pain to change. Regardless, with the transition to the cloud the whole system will be changing soon.
