[Docket No. FAA-2017-0216; Airspace Docket No. 17-ANM-7]

Amendment of Class D and Class E Airspace for the Following Idaho 
Towns; Lewiston, ID; Pocatello, ID; and Twin Falls, ID

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule, technical amendment, withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: This action withdraws the final rule, technical amendment 
published in the Federal Register on April 26, 2017. In that action, 
the FAA amended Class E Airspace at Lewiston-Nez Perce County Airport, 
Lewiston, ID; Pocatello Regional Airport, Pocatello, ID; and Joslin 
Field-Magic Valley Regional Airport, Twin Falls, ID. The FAA has 
determined that withdrawal of the final rule, technical amendment is 
warranted since a change in the geographic coordinates of the airports 
will affect the charted boundaries of the airspace, and therefore 
should be considered under the full rulemaking process.

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, June 7, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register (82 FR 
19187, April 26, 2017) amending Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 
(14 CFR) part 71 amending Class E Airspace designated as an extension 
to a Class D or Class E surface area at Lewiston-Nez Perce County 
Airport, Lewiston, ID; Pocatello Regional Airport, Pocatello, ID; and 
Joslin Field-Magic Valley Regional Airport, Twin Falls, ID, by 
eliminating the Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) part-time status. 
Additionally, the action updated the geographic coordinates of these 
airports and the Pocatello VHF Omnidirectional Radar Range Tactical Air 
Navigation Aid (VORTAC), the Twin Falls VORTAC, and American Falls 
Airport listed in the associated Class D and Class E airspace 
descriptions for Pocatello Regional Airport, and Joslin Field-Magic 
Valley Regional Airport. The FAA found that by updating the geographic 
coordinates of the airports and navigation aids, the charted boundaries 
of the airspace were affected sufficiently to warrant full 
consideration under the rulemaking process. As a result, the final 
rule, technical amendment is being withdrawn.
