SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Reason for Withdrawal

The FAA published a NPRM on December 22, 2022 (87 FR 78616), Docket No. FAA–2022–1673, to amend 14 CFR 71 by establishing Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Paoli Municipal Airport, Paoli, IN, to support instrument flight rule operations at this airport. Subsequent to publication, the FAA was notified that the airport has withdrawn its request to develop public instrument flight procedures at this airport which necessitated the Class E airspace.

Conclusion

The FAA determined that the NPRM published on December 22, 2022 (87 FR 78616), is unnecessary. Therefore, the FAA withdraws that NPRM.

Issued in Fort Worth, Texas, on November 6, 2023.
