Abstract
This action removes, renames and expands the Class E airspace areas serving Guam International Airport, Anderson AFB and Saipan Island. Additionally, this action will revoke the Saipan Island Class E surface area since it is no longer required, and expands other controlled airspace areas to protect aircraft conducting instrument approaches to Saipan International Airport. The FAA is taking this action to enhance the safety and management of aircraft operations in the vicinity of the Northern Mariana Islands.
