Abstract
This action modifies Class E airspace at Marquette, MI, and revokes the Class E airspace at Sawyer, MI, and K.I. Sawyer, MI. The legal description for the Class E airspace for Sawyer International Airport has been changed from Sawyer, MI, to Marquette, MI, and the legal description for Class E airspace for K.I. Sawyer, MI, is no longer valid because K.I. Sawyer Air Force Base (AFB) has been closed and renamed Sawyer International Airport. In addition, the closure of Marquette County Airport was made on September 23, 1999. Finally, the Marquette, MI VHF Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) (MQT) navigational aid will be decommissioned and replaced with the new Gwinn, MI, VOR/DME (GWI), and will be located approximately 15 nautical miles southeast of the existing MQT VOR/DME on the Sawyer International Airport. This action modifies Class E airspace for Marquette, MI, to correctly describe the Class E airspace required for Sawyer International Airport, to remove the reference to Marquette County Airport, and to incorporate the new GWI VOR/DME location, and revokes the Class E airspace at Sawyer, MI, and K.I. Sawyer, MI.
