SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On Monday, September 22, 2003, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71 by establishing a Class E airspace area designated as an extension to the Class E surface area and revising the Class E airspace area extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface at Goodland, KS (68 FR 55015) [FR Doc. 03-24143]. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments objecting to the proposal were received and a Final rule was subsequently published in the Federal Register on Friday, November 14, 2003, (68 FR 64524) [FR Doc. 03-28538].

A determination has been made that airspace comprising the extension to the Goodland, KS Class E surface area was necessary and properly established. However, this airspace area was erroneously categorized as an extension to the Class E surface area (E4) when it should have been added to the existing Class E airspace designated as a surface area (E2). This correction has no effect on the dimensions or definition of controlled airspace established by the rule, it merely identifies the extension as part of the basic surface area.

Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the Goodland, KS Class E4 airspace, as published in the Federal Register on Friday, November 14, 2003, (68 FR 64524) [FR Doc. 03-28538] is corrected as follows:

§ 71.1

2. On page 64524, column 3, following amendatory instruction 2, revise:
