Modification of Class D and Class E Airspace, and Establishment
of Class E Airspace; Southwest Oregon Regional Airport, OR; Correction
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting a final rule that appeared in the
Federal Register on March 3, 2022. The rule modified the Class D and
Class E surface airspace, established Class E airspace designated as an
extension to Class D & E surface areas, Class E airspace beginning at
700 feet above the surface, removed navigational aids (NAVAIDs) from
text headers, and made administrative changes to the legal descriptions
at Southwest Oregon Regional Airport, North Bend, OR. The Final Rule
did not explain the purposeful removal of Class E airspace beginning at
1,200 feet above the surface, nor did it properly exclude the Sunnyhill
Airport cut-out. This action adds verbiage explaining the removal of
Class E airspace beginning at 1,200 feet above the surface, and
corrects the legal description for the newly established Class E
airspace designated as an extension to Class D & E surface areas to
properly exclude Sunnyhill Airport, OR.
DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, May 19, 2022. The Director of the Federal
Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 1 CFR
part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.11 and
publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register (87 FR
11955; March 3, 2022) for Docket FAA-2021-0816, which modified the
Class D and Class E surface airspace, established Class E airspace
designated as an extension to Class D & E surface areas, modified the
Class E airspace beginning at 700 feet above the surface, removed
navigational aids (NAVAIDs) from text headers, and made administrative
changes to the legal descriptions at Southwest Oregon Regional Airport,
North Bend, OR. Subsequent to publication, the FAA identified that the
removal of Class E airspace beginning at 1,200 feet above the surface
at the airport was not disclosed. This airspace was removed as it is
not needed at Southwest Oregon Regional Airport. The Bend E6 en route
domestic airspace area beginning at 1,200 feet above the surface
provides sufficient containment to accommodate arriving instrument
flight rules (IFR) operations at 1,500 feet and higher above the
surface and departing IFR operations from the point they reach 1,200
feet above the surface. Additionally, it was discovered after
publication of the Final Rule that the legal description for the Class
E airspace designated as an extension to Class D & E surface areas did
not properly exclude the Sunnyhill Airport, OR cut-out. This action
corrects those errors.
Class D, Class E2, Class E4, and Class E5 airspace designations are
published in paragraphs 5000, 6002, 6004, and 6005, respectively, of
FAA Order JO 7400.11F, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September
15, 2021, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class
D and Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be
published subsequently in FAA Order JO 7400.11.
Correction to Final Rule
Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, Amendment
of Class D and Class E airspace, and Establishment of Class E airspace;
Southwest Oregon Regional Airport, North Bend, OR, published in the
Federal Register of March 3, 2022 (87 FR 11955), FR Doc. 2022-04326, is
corrected as follows:
Sec. 71.1 [Corrected]

airspace within a 0.9-mile radius of Sunnyhill Airport, and within
2.0 miles southeast and 2.1 miles northwest of the 242[deg]
