correction adds the part-time Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) language
inadvertently removed from the Class E surface area description for

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.
