2022-12392. Modification of Class E Airspace, and Revocation of Class E Airspace; Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport, AK; Correction

AGENCY:

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation (DOT).

ACTION:

Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY:

The FAA is correcting a final rule that published in the Federal Register on June 1, 2022. The rule modified the Class E surface airspace, removed Class E airspace designated as an extension to Class D and E surface areas, and modified Class E airspace beginning at 700 feet above the surface. The final rule incorrectly listed the effective date of 0901 UTC, July 14, 2022. This action corrects the effective date to 0901 UTC, September 8, 2022.

DATES:

Effective 0901 UTC, September 8, 2022. The Director of the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order JO 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register (87 FR 32981; June 1, 2022) for Docket No. FAA-2022-0030, which modified the Class E surface airspace, removed Class E airspace designated as an extension to Class D and E surface areas, and modified Class E airspace beginning at 700 feet above the surface at Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport, AK. Subsequent to publication, the FAA identified that the effective date listed in the final rule was incorrect. The final rule stated the effective date of 0901 UTC, July 14, 2022. However, the final rule was submitted too late to be effective on July 14, 2022, and should have listed the effective date as 0901 UTC, September 8, 2022. This action corrects the error.

Class E2, Class E4, and Class E5 airspace designations are published in paragraphs 6002, 6004, and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order JO 7400.11F, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September 15, 2021, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in FAA Order JO 7400.11.

Correction to Final Rule

Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to the FAA, Modification of Class E airspace, and Revocation of Class E airspace; Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport, AK, published in the Federal Register of June 1, 2022, (87 FR 32981), FR Doc. 2022-11591, is corrected as follows:

1. On page 32981, in the first column, beginning on line 53, DATES is corrected to read:
