14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2022-1678; Airspace Docket No. 22-AWA-4]
RIN 2120-AA66

Amendment of the Nashville International Airport Class C 
Airspace; Nashville, TN; and the John C. Tune Airport Class D Airspace; 
Nashville, TN

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This action corrects a final rule published by the FAA in the 
Federal Register on June 6, 2023, that amended the Nashville 
International Airport Class C airspace area and the John C. Tune Class 
D airspace area. In the final rule, the words ``(when active)'' were 
inadvertently omitted from the sentences that exclude the Smyrna 
Airport Class D airspace from the Nashville Class C airspace area. The 
error would cause the incorrect depiction of the Class C and Class D 
airspace areas on aeronautical charts. This action corrects that error.

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, August 10, 2023. The Director of the 
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 
1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order JO 7400.11 
and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    The FAA published a final rule for Docket No. FAA-2022-1678 in the 
Federal Register (88 FR 36936; June 6, 2023), amending the Nashville 
International Airport Class C airspace area and the John C. Tune Class 
D airspace area. Subsequent to publication, the FAA determined that the 
words ``(when active)'' were inadvertently omitted from the preamble 
discussion and regulatory text that describe the exclusion of the 
Smyrna Class D airspace from the Nashville Class C airspace area. Since 
the Smyrna Class D airspace is a part-time designation, it is only 
excluded from the Class C airspace during the times the Class D is 
active. This rule corrects the preamble discussion, and the regulatory 
text by adding ``(when active)'' following all references to the 
exclusion of the Smyrna Class D airspace. This complies with 
aeronautical charting specification requirements to ensure the proper 
depiction of the airspace on the applicable charts. This action does 
not alter the actual dimensions of the Class C or Class D airspace 
areas.

Correction to Final Rule

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the 
preamble discussion and regulatory text contained in Docket No. FAA-
2022-1678, as published in the Federal Register of June 6, 2023 (88 FR 
36936), FR Doc. 2023-11909, are corrected as follows:

0
1. In FR Doc. 2023-11909, on page 36938, add the words ``(when 
active)'' following both instances of the phrase ``. . . excludes that 
portion of airspace that is within the Smyrna Airport Class D airspace 
area'', so that they read: ``. . . excludes that portion of airspace 
that is within the Smyrna Airport Class D airspace area (when 
active);''.

0
2. Amend the Nashville, TN Airport Class C description by adding the 
words ``(when active)'' following references to the Smyrna, TN, Airport 
Class D airspace area, to read as follows:
