AGENCY:

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION:

Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM); withdrawal.

SUMMARY:

This action withdraws the NPRM published in the Federal Register on June 24, 2015, proposing to amend Class D and Class E airspace and remove Class E airspace in the Columbus, OH, area. The FAA has determined that withdrawal of that NPRM is warranted as a second NPRM for the same airspace action was issued in July 2015.

May 2, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

An NPRM was published in the Federal Register of June 24, 2015 (80 FR 36265), to amend Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71, by amending Class D and Class E airspace and removing Class E airspace in the Columbus, OH area. The proposed action was due to the decommissioning of the Dan Scott non-directional beacon (NDB) and cancellation of the NDB approach at Ohio State University Airport, Columbus, OH. A second NPRM was published in the Federal Register of July 17, 2015 (80 FR 42434), proposing the same airspace actions and followed by a final rule published in the Federal Register of October 20, 2015 (80 FR 63426), acknowledging only the second NPRM. Therefore, the first NPRM issued is being withdrawn.
