Abstract
This action revokes the Class D airspace at Bryant Army Heliport (AHP), Anchorage, AK, and at Adak Naval Air Station (NAS), AK. The Department of the Army closed the Bryant AHP tower on September 27, 1995, and transferred operational control of Bryant AHP to the Alaska National Guard. The Department of the Navy closed the Adak tower on March 31, 1997, following the approval of the 1995 Base Realignment and Closure Commission's recommendation to close Adak NAS, AK, by the Congress of the United States. Additionally, the Class E airspace description at Adak, AK, will be revised to reflect part-time (less than 24-hours a day) operations. The intended effect of this action is to revise the effective times for the Class E airspace at Adak, AK, and also to revoke the Class D airspace at Bryant AHP, and at Adak NAS, AK, since the purpose and requirements for these surface areas no longer exist.
