SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    The Federal Register published a final rule amending Class E 
airspace at Rapid City Regional Airport, Rapid City, SD, (81 FR 5905, 
February 4, 2016) Docket No. FAA-2015-7492. 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 Rapid 
City Regional Airport terminal area. 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 Rapid City Regional 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 4, 2016 (81 FR 5905) FR Doc. 2016-02037,
