Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace; Columbia, SC, and Proposed Establishment of Class E Airspace; Pelion, SC
This action proposes to amend Class E Airspace at Columbia, SC by removing Corporate Airport from the airspace designation, and would establish Class E Airspace at Pelion, SC, using the new airport name, as new Standard Instrument Approach Procedures have been developed at Lexington County Airport at Pelion. This action would enhance the safety and airspace management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport. This action also would update the geographic coordinates of the airport.
Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace; Pelion, SC
A notice of proposed rulemaking published in the Federal Register on August 22, 2011 amending Class E airspace at Lexington County Airport at Pelion, Pelion, SC, is being withdrawn. Upon review, the FAA found that controlled airspace already exists for this airport under a different city designator and airport name, and substantial corrections would need to be made. In the interest of clarity, a new proposal amending existing airspace and establishing airspace with the new information will be submitted under a separate rulemaking.
Alternate Passenger Rail Service Pilot Program
This final rule is in response to a statutory mandate that FRA complete a rulemaking proceeding to develop a pilot program that permits a rail carrier or rail carriers that own infrastructure over which Amtrak operates certain passenger rail service routes to petition FRA to be considered as a passenger rail service provider over such a route in lieu of Amtrak for a period not to exceed five years after the date of enactment of the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008. The final rule develops this pilot program in conformance with the statutory directive.

L. 101-508) and Part 158 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 158). This notice is published pursuant to paragraph d of Sec. 158.29.
