correction adds the part-time Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) language 
inadvertently removed from the Class E surface area description for 
Vance AFB, and Woodring Municipal Airport, Enid, OK. Adjustment of the

Range Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) listed in the Class E airspace 
area designated as an extension to the Class D surface area.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    The Federal Register published a final rule amending Class E 
surface area airspace, Class E airspace designated as an extension, and 
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, at 
Vance AFB, Enid, OK; and Woodring Municipal Airport, Enid, OK (81 FR 
8389, February 19, 2016) Docket No. FAA-2015-7489. Subsequent to 
publication, the FAA determined that the part-time NOTAM language in 
the Class E surface area description was inadvertently removed in 
error. Potential safety concerns were identified due to the possibility 
for confusion in determining the operating rules and equipment 
requirements in the Vance AFB and Woodring Municipal Airport terminal 
areas. 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.
    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 Vance AFB and Woodring Municipal Airport. The regulatory 
text is rewritten for clarity. A minor adjustment is also made to the 
geographic coordinates of the Vance VORTAC listed in Class E airspace 
area designated as an extension to Class D. These are administrative 
corrections and do not affect the controlled airspace boundaries or 
operating requirements supporting operations in the Vance AFB and 
Woodring Municipal Airport terminal areas.
