## Abstract

This action modifies Class E Airspace at Wilkes-Barre, PA. Additional airspace is required to support new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) that have been developed for the Community Medical Center and the Fire Station Helipad at Mercy Hospital. This action enhances the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations in the area by providing the required controlled airspace to support these approaches in the Wilkes-Barre area. This action also imparts a technical amendment to the legal description of the airspace by restoring a previously omitted description and makes a name change to the Point in Space SIAP for the Wyoming Valley Medical Center.
