SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
The FAA published a final rule for Docket No. FAA-2026-9835 in the
Federal Register
(91 FR 66635; September 22, 2026), establishing Class E airspace at Northwestern Memorial Healthcare Heliport, DeKalb, IL. After publication of the final rule, an FAA database review noted that the incorrect state (OH) was used in the legal description. This final rule correction replaces the incorrect state with the correct state, IL. This correction represents a ministerial change. It does not change the airspace dimensions or operating requirements. Accordingly, the FAA finds good cause that recirculating the NPRM for notice and comment is unnecessary.
Correction to Final Rule
Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the final rule for Docket No. FAA-2026-9835, as published in the
Federal Register
on September 22, 2026 (91 FR 66635; FR Doc. 2026-21563), is corrected as follows:
On page 66636, in the second column, amend Paragraph 6005 “Class E Airspace Areas Extending Upward From 700 Feet or More Above the Surface of the Earth.” by revising the legal description for “AGL IL E5 DeKalb, IL” to read as follows:
AGL IL E5 DeKalb, IL [Establish]
Northwestern Memorial Healthcare Heliport, IL
(Lat. 41°57′38″ N, long. 88°43′18″ W)
That airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface within a 6.3-mile radius of the Northwestern Memorial Healthcare Heliport.
