SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register (89 FR 99700; December 11, 2024) for Docket FAA-2024-2440, which modified Class D and Class E airspace at Abbotsford Airport, Abbotsford, BC. Subsequent to publication, the FAA identified that line four of the Class D airspace legal description contained the incorrect geographic location for the Vancouver very high frequency omnidirectional range/tactical air navigation (VORTAC). This action corrects the error by removing the reference to the Vancouver VORTAC and replacing it with “Point in Space B” for description purposes.

Correction to the Final Rule

In FR Doc 2024-29085 at 99702, published in the Federal Register on December 11, 2024, the FAA makes the following corrections:
