82 Fed. Reg. 26336 (Jun. 7, 2017)

AGENCY:

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION:

Final rule, technical amendment, withdrawal.

SUMMARY:

This action withdraws the final rule, technical amendment published in the Federal Register on April 25, 2017. In that action, the FAA amended Class E Airspace at Grant County International Airport, Moses Lake, WA, and Olympia Regional Airport, Olympia, WA. The FAA has determined that withdrawal of the final rule, technical amendment is warranted since a change in the geographic coordinates of the airports will affect the charted boundaries of the airspace, and therefore should be considered under the full rulemaking process.

DATES:

Effective Date: 0901 UTC, June 7, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register (82 FR 18983, April 25, 2017) amending Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 amending Class E Airspace designated as an extension to a Class D or Class E surface area at Grant County International Airport, Moses Lake, WA, and Olympia Regional Airport, Olympia, WA, by eliminating the Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) part-time status. Additionally, the action updated the geographic coordinates of Grant County International Airport, and Fairchild AFB, as listed in the Grant County International Airport Class D and Class E legal descriptions. The FAA found that by updating the geographic coordinates of the airports, the charted boundaries of the airspace were affected sufficiently to warrant full consideration under the rulemaking process. As a result, the final rule, technical amendment is being withdrawn.
