Proposed Alteration of Class E Airspace at Muscatine, IA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration [FAA], DOT.

ACTION: Proposed rule, withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: This action withdraws the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) 
which proposed to change the Class E airspace area at Muscatine, IA. 
The NPRM is being withdrawn due to the delay in the installation of the 
Port City Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring 
Equipment (VOR/DME).

DATES: The proposed rule is withdrawn February 20, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kathy Randolph, Operations Branch, ACE-530C, Federal Aviation 
Administration, 601 E. 12th St., Kansas City, MO 64106; telephone:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Proposed Rule

    On December 20, 1995 (60 FR 65601), a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 
was published in the Federal Register to change the Class E airspace at 
Muscatine, IA. The delay in obtaining the necessary equipment has 
resulted in delaying the installation and commissioning of the VOR/DME 
until late 1997 or early 1998.

Conclusion

    In consideration of the aforementioned delay in installation and 
commissioning of the Port City VOR/DME, action is being taken to 
withdraw the proposed amendment of the Class E airspace area at 
Muscatine, IA. If necessary, a new NPRM will be prepared at a later 
date.
