Amendment of Class E Airspace; Sitka, AK; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is correcting a 
final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on July 31, 2020. The 
rule modified Class E airspace designated as a surface area, and Class 
E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Sitka 
Rocky Gutierrez Airport. The final rule also established a Class E 
airspace area, designated as an extension to a Class D or Class E 
surface area. The legal definition for the Class E airspace, designated 
as an extension to a Class D or Class E surface area, did not 
accurately establish this area outside of the Class E airspace 
designated as a surface area. This action corrects the legal definition 
for the Class E airspace area, designated as an extension to a Class D 
or Class E surface area.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, November 5, 2020. The Director of the 
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 
Title 1 Code of Federal Regulations part 51, subject to the annual 
revision of FAA Order 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register (85 FR 
45997; July 31, 2020) for Docket FAA-2020-0352 amending Class E 
airspace designated as a surface area and Class E airspace extending 
upward from 700 feet above the surface. The rule also established Class 
E airspace designated as an extension to a Class D or Class E surface 
area. Subsequent to publication, the FAA identified an error in how the 
Class E airspace, designated as an extension to a Class D or Class E 
surface area, is described. This action corrects that error.
    Class E4 airspace designations are published in paragraph 6004 of 
FAA Order 7400.11D, dated August 8, 2019, and effective September 15, 
2019, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E 
airspace designation listed in this document will be published 
subsequently in the Order.
