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 As a result, the NPRM is being withdrawn.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the authority delegated to me, the NPRM published in the Federal Register on October 28, 2022 (87 FR 65178) is hereby withdrawn. [[Page 17359]] Issued in College Park, Georgia, on April 14, 2025. Andreese C. Davis, Manager, Airspace & Procedures Team South, Eastern Service Center, Air Traffic Organization.
