SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register on December 12, 2023 (88 FR 86039), for Docket No. FAA–2023–1352, updating the Class D airspace and Class E airspace for Fort Novosel, Ozark, AL, and Fort Moore, Columbus, GA, by updating each airport's name and replacing Notice to Airmen with Notice to Air Missions, and replacing the term Airport/Facility Directory with Chart Supplement in the appropriate descriptions. After publication, the FAA found the Class E surface description for Fort Novosel was inadvertently transposed. Also, the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface for Columbus, GA, was incorrectly transposed with the Columbus, MS description. This action corrects these errors.

This Class E airspace area is effective during the specific dates and times established in advance by a Notice to Air Missions. The effective date and time will thereafter be continuously published in the Chart Supplement.

2. On page 86040, beginning in the first column under Paragraph 6005 Class E Airspace Areas Extending Upward From 700 Feet or More Above the Surface of the Earth, correct the Class E Airspace Areas description to read as follows:
