SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register (91 FR 
68449; October 30, 2026), amending the Class D airspace and 
establishing Class E airspace at Chandler and Phoenix, AZ. After 
publication, the FAA determined

[[Page 70785]]

that a statement in the preamble discussion requires a correction for 
greater clarity and alignment with the scope of the action. The final 
rule stated, ``There are no new instrument procedures in development, 
and the airspace change does not require new, complex procedures to be 
developed or implemented at Mesa Gateway Airport.'' While separate 
instrument flight procedures are planned through normal airport 
modernization channels, they are entirely independent of this Class D 
and Class E action. This correction does not make substantive changes 
or alter the text of the airspace legal descriptions.

Correction to Final Rule

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the final 
rule for Docket No. FAA-2025-5571, as published in the Federal Register 
on October 30, 2026 (91 FR 68449; FR Doc. 2026-22197), is corrected as 
follows:
    On page 68452, column 1, within the History section, remove, 
``There are no new instrument procedures in development, and the 
airspace change does not require new, complex procedures to be 
developed or implemented at Mesa Gateway Airport.'' And replace it 
with, ``This airspace change does not require new, complex procedures 
to be developed or implemented at Mesa Gateway Airport.''

    Issued in Fort Worth, Texas, on November 5, 2026.

Acting Manager, Operations Support Group, ATO Central Service Center.
