AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

correction adds part-time Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) language to the

rule is March 31, 2016. The Director of the Federal Register approves

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    The Federal Register published a final rule amending Class E 
airspace at Alpena County Regional Airport, Alpena, MI, and Muskegon 
County Airport, Muskegon, MI (81 FR 6447, February 8, 2016) Docket No. 
FAA-2015-7483. Subsequent to publication, the FAA determined that the 
part-time NOTAM language in the Class E surface area description was 
inadvertently removed in error. Potential safety concerns were 
identified due to the possibility for confusion in determining the 
operating rules and equipment requirements in the Alpena Country 
Regional Airport and Muskegon Country Airport terminal areas. The 
concerns were based on the opportunity for part-time Class D surface 
area airspace and continuous Class E surface area airspace to be active 
at the same time.
    To resolve these concerns, the FAA is keeping the part-time NOTAM 
language in the Class E surface area description to retain it as part-
time airspace supplementing the existing part-time Class D surface area 
airspace at Alpena Country Regional Airport and Muskegon Country 
Airport. The regulatory text is rewritten for clarity.

Correction to Final Rule

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, in the 
Federal Register of February 8, 2016 (81 FR 6447) FR Doc. 2016-02285, 
Amendment of Class E Airspace for the Following Michigan Towns; Alpena, 
MI, and Muskegon, MI, is corrected as follows:
