#  Modification of Class D and Class E Airspace; Abbotsford Airport, Abbotsford, BC

**AGENCY:**

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

**ACTION:**

Final rule; correction.

**SUMMARY:**

The FAA is correcting a final rule that published in the *Federal Register* on December 11, 2024. The final rule modified administrative portions of the Class D and Class E airspace legal descriptions for Abbotsford Airport, Abbotsford, BC. This action corrects errors in the Class D airspace legal description.

**DATES:**

Effective date 0901 UTC, February 20, 2025. The Director of the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order JO 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.

**ADDRESSES:**

FAA Order JO 7400.11J and subsequent amendments can be viewed online at *www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/.* You may also contact the Rules and Regulations Group, Office of Policy, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20591; telephone: (202) 267-8783.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

**History**

The FAA published a final rule in the *Federal Register* (89 FR 99700; December 11, 2024) for Docket FAA-2024-2440, which modified Class D and Class E airspace at Abbotsford Airport, Abbotsford, BC. Subsequent to publication, the FAA identified that line four of the Class D airspace legal description contained the incorrect geographic location for the Vancouver very high frequency omnidirectional range/tactical air navigation (VORTAC). This action corrects the error by removing the reference to the Vancouver VORTAC and replacing it with “Point in Space B” for description purposes.

**Correction to the Final Rule**

In FR Doc 2024-29085 at 99702, published in the *Federal Register* on December 11, 2024, the FAA makes the following corrections:

**14 CFR Part 71**

1. On page 99702, in the first column, correct the Class D airspace legal description to read as follows:
