[Airspace Docket No. 97-ASW-25]


Revision of Class E Airspace; Gallup, NM

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

airspace at

[[Page 12992]]

Gallup, NM. The DFR was to provide adequate controlled airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface for Instrument Flight 
Rules (IFR) operations at Gallup Municipal Airport, Gallup, NM. The 
description of the airspace in the DFR incorrectly described the 
airspace necessary to contain aircraft IFR operations at Gallup, NM. 
Accordingly, the DFR as published, is withdrawn.

DATES: The direct final rule published at 62 FR 65606 is withdrawn on 
March 17, 1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 15, 1997 (62 FR 65606), a DFR 
was published in the Federal Register to revise Class E airspace at 
Gallup, NM. The intended effect of the DFR was to provide adequate 
controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the 
surface for IFR operations at Gallup Municipal Airport, Gallup, NM. The 
description of the airspace in the DFR incorrectly described the 
airspace necessary to contain aircraft IFR operations at Gallup, NM. 
Accordingly, the DFR published in the Federal Register on December 15, 
1997 (62 FR 65606) is withdrawn. Since this action only withdraws a 
DFR, it is neither a proposed nor a final rule and therefore is not 
covered under Executive Order 12866, the Regulatory Flexibility Act, or 
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 
1979).
