Withdrawal of NPRM; Hickory, NC and Morganton, NC

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Proposed rule, withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is withdrawing the notice of proposed rulemaking 
published in the Federal Register on October 28, 2022, proposing to 
amend Class D and Class E airspace in Hickory, NC and Class E airspace 
in Morganton, NC.

DATES: The FAA is withdrawing the proposed rule published October 28, 
2022 (87 FR 65178) as of April 25, 2025.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christopher Stocking, Operations 
Support Group, Eastern Service Center, Federal Aviation Administration,

5887.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Reason for Withdrawal

    The FAA is withdrawing the NPRM for Docket No, FAA-2022-1232 (87 FR 
65178; October 28, 2022) amending Class D and Class E airspace for 
Hickory Regional Airport, Hickory, NC and Foothills Regional Airport, 
Morganton, NC, because the FAA has determined that additional airspace 
modifications are necessary to fully address the operational 
requirements in the area. Due to the scope of these changes and the 
time that has elapsed since the NPRM was published (October 28, 2022), 
the proposed action no longer accurately reflects the FAA's current 
plans for the airspace. As a result, the NPRM is being withdrawn. A new 
rulemaking action will be initiated in the future to propose updated 
airspace modifications as needed.

Conclusion

    The FAA determined that the NPRM published on October 28, 2022, is 
unnecessary. Therefore, the FAA withdraws that NPRM.

The Withdrawal

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the NPRM 
published in the Federal Register on October 28, 2022 (87 FR 65178) is 
hereby withdrawn.
