This action modifies Class D and Class E airspace at Albemarle, NC. Controlled airspace is being expanded to contain the Final Approach Fix (FAF) for a Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) into Stanly County Airport. This action enhances the National Airspace System by providing controlled airspace in the vicinity of Albemarle, NC.

This action confirms the effective date of a direct final rule that establishes Class E Airspace at Russellville, AL needed to support new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) developed for Russellville Municipal Airport. As a result, controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) is needed to contain the SIAP and for Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations changing the operating status of the airport from Visual flight Rules (VFR) to include IFR operations concurrent with the publication of the SIAP.

This action confirms the effective date of a direct final rule that amends the Class E Airspace at Rutland-Southern Vermont Regional (RUT); Rutland, VT to provide adequate controlled airspace for those aircraft using Instrument Approach Procedures to the airport. The action became necessary due to the decommissioning of the IRA NDB and new Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) being developed for Rutland-Southern Vermont Regional Airport. This rule also imparts a technical amendment to change the name of the airport from Rutland State Airport to Rutland-Southern Vermont Regional.
