## Abstract

<RM>This action revises Class E airspace at Bethel, AK, in two ways: The FAA will cancel the Bethel Very High Frequency (VHF) Omnidirectional Range (VOR) instrument approach to runway (RWY) 36 at Bethel, AK, and simultaneously reduce the Class E (surface area extension) airspace at Bethel, AK; the FAA will correct an administrative error by revising the Class E (surface area) airspace with an exclusion area for Hanger Lake seaplane base operations. This rule will accomplish two actions: Allow for the Napakiak airport to be outside of the Bethel Class E (surface area extension) airspace and reduce the required controlled airspace for aircraft flying Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Bethel, AK; and fix an administrative oversight by adding the Hanger Lake exclusion area to the Class E airspace description at Bethel, AK.
