Docket No. 21–ASW–6] 

RIN 2120–AA66 

Proposed Revocation of Class E 

Airspace; Palestine, TX: Withdrawal 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM); withdrawal. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is withdrawing the 

NPRM published in the Federal 

Register on May 20, 2021, to amend 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at Palestine 

Municipal Airport, Palestine, TX. Upon 

further consideration, the FAA has 

determined that an operational 

requirement for the airspace still exists; 

therefore, withdrawal of the proposed 

rule is warranted. 

DATES: The FAA is withdrawing the 

proposed rule published May 20, 2021 

(86 FR 27327), as of August 31, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On May 20, 2021, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register (86 FR 27327; 

May 20, 2021) for Docket No. FAA– 

2021–0296, an NPRM proposing to 

modify Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Palestine, TX, due to the 

decommissioning of the Palestine NDB 

and associated extension from the 

airspace legal description; and updating 

the geographic coordinates of the airport 

to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. 

FAA’s Conclusions 

In reviewing the NPRM, we have 

determined that the amending of the 

Class E airspace would increase the 

radius of the airspace to 8.2 miles from 

the current 7.1 mile radius, rather than 

reducing the radius to 6.2 miles, as 

proposed in the NPRM. In addition, the 

current airspace definition doesn’t 

include the Palestine NDB or any 

associated extension. The proposed rule 

would also need to include removal of 

the Frankston VOR/DME and the 

associated extension. The FAA has 

concluded that this NPRM needs to be 

withdrawn, and the FAA will begin the 

process again with a new NPRM.
