## Abstract

This action establishes Class E Airspace at Lewiston, ME. The existing controlled airspace from nearby Auburn/Lewiston Municipal Airport does not adequately support a new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning system (GPS) Special Instrument Approach Procedure (IAP) that has been developed for medical flight operations. This action enhances the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations by providing the required controlled airspace to protect for this approach around the Central Maine Medical Center.
