SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On February 4, 2016, the FAA 

published a final rule in the Federal 

Register amending the Class E surface 

area and Class E extension airspace 

areas at Minot International Airport, 

Minot, ND (81 FR 5903) Docket No. 

FAA–2015–7485. A final rule correction 

was published in the Federal Register to 

include Class D and Class E airspace 

extending upward from the surface (81 

FR 11103, March 3, 2016). Subsequent 

to publication, the FAA determined the 

part-time NOTAM language in the Class 

E surface area description was 

inadvertently removed in error, and the 

Class E extension airspace boundary 

information that is contained in the 

Class E surface area description should 

be removed. Potential safety concerns 

were identified due to the possibility for 

confusion in determining the operating 

rules and equipment requirements in 

the Minot International 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, as well as having the 

same Class E extension airspace 

boundary information published in both 

the Class E surface area and the Class E 

extension airspace descriptions. 

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 Minot 

International Airport, and removing the 

Class E extension airspace boundary 

information from the Class E surface 

area description. The regulatory text is 

rewritten for clarity. These are 

administrative corrections and do not 

affect the controlled airspace boundaries 

or operating requirements supporting 

operations in the Minot International 

Airport terminal area. 

Correction to Final Rule 

■ Accordingly, pursuant to the authority 

delegated to me, in the Federal Register 

of February 4, 2016 (81 FR 5903) FR

FR 11103) FR Doc. No. 2016–04482,

specific dates and times established in
