SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking

History

    The Federal Register published a final rule amending Class E 
Airspace Designated as an Extension at Ithaca Tompkins Regional 
Airport, Ithaca, NY, (formerly Tompkins County Airport), and the 
Kingston VORTAC, Poughkeepsie, NY (81 FR 5902, February 4, 2016) Docket 
No. FAA-2015-4532. Further review revealed the geographic coordinates 
for the airport and navaids needed to be amended in Class D airspace 
and Class E surface area airspace. It is also noted that the Kingston 
VORTAC is erroneously listed in Class D airspace for Poughkeepsie, NY, 
and is removed. Also, Class D Airspace is added to the title.
    Class D and Class E airspace designations are published in 
paragraphs 5000, 6002, and 6004, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9Z 
dated August 6, 2015, and effective September 15, 2015, which is 
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class D and Class E 
airspace designations listed in this document will be published 
subsequently in the Order. These are administrative corrections and do 
not affect the controlled airspace boundaries or operating requirements 
supporting operations in the Ithaca and Poughkeepsie, NY areas.
