[Federal Register Volume 82, Number 108 (Wednesday, June 7, 2017)] [Rules and Regulations] [Pages 26338-26339] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2017-11475] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Aviation Administration 14 CFR Part 71 [Docket No. FAA-2017-0054; Airspace Docket No. 17-ANM-2] Amendment of Class D and Class E Airspace; Aspen, CO; and Pueblo, CO AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION: Final rule, technical amendment, withdrawal. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This action withdraws the final rule, technical amendment published in the Federal Register on April 25, 2017. In that action, the FAA amended Class E Airspace at Aspen Pitkin County/Sardy Field, Aspen, CO, and Pueblo Memorial Airport, Pueblo, CO. The FAA has determined that withdrawal of the final rule, technical amendment is warranted since a change in the geographic coordinates of the airports will affect the charted boundaries of the airspace, and therefore should be considered under the full rulemaking process. DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, June 7, 2017. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tom Clark, Federal Aviation Administration, Operations Support Group, Western Service Center, 1601 Lind Avenue SW., Renton, WA, 98057; telephone (425) 203-4511. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register (82 FR 18981, April 25, 2017) amending Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 amending Class E Airspace designated as an extension to a Class D or Class E surface area at Aspen Pitkin County/Sardy Field, Aspen, CO, and Pueblo Memorial Airport, Pueblo, CO, by eliminating the Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) part-time status. Additionally, the action updated the geographic coordinates of Aspen Pitkin County/Sardy Field, Aspen, CO, and Pueblo Memorial Airport, Pueblo, CO listed in the associated Class D and Class E airspace descriptions for Aspen Pitkin County/Sardy Field, and Pueblo Memorial Airport. The FAA found that by updating the geographic coordinates of the airports, the charted boundaries of the airspace were affected sufficiently to warrant full consideration under the rulemaking process. As a result, the final rule, technical amendment is being withdrawn. [[Page 26339]] List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71 Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
