SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
The FAA published a final rule for Docket No. FAA-2026-8548 in the
Federal Register
(91 FR 59987; September 22, 2026), establishing Class E airspace at OSF St Elizabeth Medical Center Heliport, Ottawa, IL. After publication of the final rule, an FAA database review noted that the incorrect heliport (OSF St Francis Medical Center Heliport) was used in the legal description. This action replaces the incorrect heliport with the correct heliport, OSF St Elizabeth Medical Center Heliport. 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 of Final Rule
Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the final rule for Docket No. FAA-2026-8548, as published in the
Federal Register
on September 22, 2026 (91 FR 59987; FR Doc. 2026-19391), is corrected as follows:
On page 59988, in the third 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 Ottawa, IL” to read as follows:
AGL IL E5 Ottawa, IL [Establish]
OSF St Elizabeth Medical Center Heliport, IL
(Lat. 41°21′30″ N, long 88°49′30″ W)
That airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface within a 6.8-mile radius of the OSF St Elizabeth Medical Center Heliport.
