Register on May 20, 2021, to amend Class E airspace extending upward 
from 700 feet above the surface at Palestine Municipal Airport, 
Palestine, TX. Upon further consideration, the FAA has determined that 
an operational requirement for the airspace still exists; therefore, 
withdrawal of the proposed rule is warranted.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On May 20, 2021, the FAA published in the Federal Register (86 FR 
27327; May 20, 2021) for Docket No. FAA-2021-0296, an NPRM proposing to 
modify Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface at Palestine, TX, due to the decommissioning of the Palestine 
NDB and associated extension from the airspace legal description; and 
updating the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the 
FAA's aeronautical database.

FAA's Conclusions

    In reviewing the NPRM, we have determined that the amending of the 
Class E airspace would increase the radius of the airspace to 8.2 miles 
from the current 7.1 mile radius, rather than reducing the radius to 
6.2 miles, as proposed in the NPRM. In addition, the current airspace 
definition doesn't include the Palestine NDB or any associated 
extension. The proposed rule would also need to include removal of the 
Frankston VOR/DME and the associated extension. The FAA has concluded 
that this NPRM needs to be withdrawn, and the FAA will begin the 
process again with a new NPRM.
