SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On May 20, 2021, the FAA published in the Federal Register (86 FR
27327; May 20, 2021) for Docket No. FAA-2021-0296, an NPRM proposing to
modify Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface at Palestine, TX, due to the decommissioning of the Palestine
NDB and associated extension from the airspace legal description; and
updating the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the
FAA's aeronautical database.
FAA's Conclusions
In reviewing the NPRM, we have determined that the amending of the
Class E airspace would increase the radius of the airspace to 8.2 miles
from the current 7.1 mile radius, rather than reducing the radius to
6.2 miles, as proposed in the NPRM. In addition, the current airspace
definition doesn't include the Palestine NDB or any associated
extension. The proposed rule would also need to include removal of the
Frankston VOR/DME and the associated extension. The FAA has concluded
that this NPRM needs to be withdrawn, and the FAA will begin the
process again with a new NPRM.
