## Abstract

This action modifies Class E Airspace at Franklin, PA. The existing controlled airspace from nearby Venango Regional 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 for the Northwest Medical Center. This action will enhance the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations by providing the required controlled airspace to protect for this approach at Franklin, PA. Additionally this action imparts a technical correction to the airport name.
