## Abstract

This action establishes Class E Airspace at Lewistown, PA. The existing controlled airspace serving nearby airports 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 for this approach around the Lewistown Hospital in Lewistown, PA.
