14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 92-ASW-35]


Proposed Establishment of Class E Airspace; Osceola, AR

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Proposed Rule; withdrawal.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action withdraws a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) 
published in the Federal Register on March 8, 1994 (59 FR 10760) which 
proposed to establish Class E airspace at Osceola, AR. The proposal was 
to establish controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the ground (AGL). This airspace was needed to contain aircraft 
executing a new Nondirectional Radio Beacon (NDB) standard instrument 
approach procedure (SIAP) to Runway (RWY) 19 at Osceola. The 
description of the proposed airspace in the NPRM was incorrectly 
identified as Class E surface airspace and incorrectly described the 
airspace necessary to contain aircraft executing the SIAP. After 
publication of that NPRM, a second NPRM was published with the proposed 
Class E airspace correctly designated, but this second NPRM was 
published under the same docket number. Accordingly, to avoid 
confusion, the first proposal published in the Federal Register on 
March 8, 1994 (59 FR 10760) is withdrawn.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Donald J. Day, System Management 
Branch, Federal Aviation Administration, Southwest Region, Fort Worth, 
TX 76193-0530; telephone: (817) 217-5593.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 3, 1994, an NPRM was published in 
the Federal Register to establish Class E airspace at Osceola, AR. The 
intended effect of the proposal was to provide adequate Class E 
airspace to contain aircraft executing the NDB SIAP RWY 19 at Osceola, 
AR. This NPRM incorrectly proposed establishing Class E surface area 
airspace and incorrectly described the airspace. A second NPRM using 
the same docket number was published in the Federal Register correctly 
proposing Class E airspace upward from 700 feet above ground level 
(AGL) and correctly describing airspace dimensions required to contain 
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Osceola, AR. Therefore, the 
proposed rule published as Docket No. 92-ASW-35 on March 8, 1995 (59 FR 
10760) is duplicative, incorrect and unnecessary; and is therefore 
withdrawn. Since this action only withdraws a notice of proposed 
rulemaking, it is neither a proposed nor a final rule and therefore is 
not covered under Executive Order 12866, the Regulatory Flexibility 
Act, or DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 
26, 1979).
