SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On Thursday, March 11, 2010, a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking was 
published in the Federal Register to establish Class D airspace and 
modify existing Class E airspace at Columbus, GA. Due to a decrease in 
air traffic volume at Columbus Metropolitan Airport a less restrictive 
Class D airspace would be established with specific dates and times 
established in advance by a Notice to Airmen. The existing Class E 
surface area would be modified to be coincident with the newly 
established Class D airspace.
    In consideration of the need for the effective dates to coincide 
for the revocation of Class C airspace and the establishment of Class D 
airspace at Columbus Metropolitan Airport, Columbus, GA, action is 
being taken to withdraw the aforementioned legislative mandate. 
Therefore, action to establish Class D airspace in Columbus, GA, is 
premature and unnecessary at this time.
