Supplementary Information

History The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register on December 12, 2023 (88 FR 86039), for Docket No. FAA-2023-1352, updating the Class D airspace and Class E airspace for Fort Novosel, Ozark, AL, and Fort Moore, Columbus, GA, by updating each airport's name and replacing Notice to Airmen with Notice to Air Missions, and replacing the term Airport/Facility Directory with Chart Supplement in the appropriate descriptions. After publication, the FAA found the Class E surface description for Fort Novosel was inadvertently transposed. Also, the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface for Columbus, GA, was incorrectly transposed with the Columbus, MS description. This action corrects these errors. Correction to the Final Rule In FR Doc 2023-27195 at 86039, published in the Federal Register on December 12, 2023, the FAA makes the following corrections: 0
