Abstract
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.

SUMMARY: This action corrects a final rule published by the FAA in the

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.

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:
