SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Federal Register Document 03-31743, Docket No. FAA-2003-16359; 
Airspace Docket 03-ASO-18, published on December 24, 2003 (68 FR 
74471), establishes Class D airspace at Hilton Head Airport, Hilton 
Head Island, SC. An error was discovered in the Summary paragraph, 
describing the Class D airspace area. The description of the Class D 
airspace should be changed from airspace extending upward from the 
surface to and including 2,800 feet MSL within a 4.1-mile radius of the 
airport to airspace extending upward from the surface to and including 
2,000 feet MSL within a 3.9-mile radius of the airport. This action 
corrects the error.
    Designations for Class D airspace are published in Paragraph 5000 
of FAA Order 7400.9L, dated September 2, 2003, and effective September 
16, 2003, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class 
D airspace designation listed in this document will be published 
subsequently in the Order.

Need for Correction

    As published, the final rule contains an error that incorrectly 
describes the size of the Class D airspace area. Accordingly, pursuant 
to the authority delegated to me, the Summary paragraph for the Class D 
airspace at Hilton Head Island, SC, incorporated by reference at Sec. 
71.1, 14 CFR 71.1, and

[[Page 5009]]

published in the Federal Register on December 24, 2003, (68 FR 74471), 
is corrected by correcting the summary.

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class D airspace at Hilton Head 
Island, SC. A federal contract tower with a weather reporting system 
has been constructed at the Hilton Head Airport. Therefore, the airport 
meets criteria for Class D airspace. Class D surface area airspace is 
required when the control tower is open to contain Standard Instrument 
Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and other Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) 
operations at the airport. This action establishes Class D airspace 
extending upward from the surface to and including 2,000 feet MSL 
within a 3.9-mile radius of the airport.
