Modification of Class D Airspace and Establishment of Class E Airspace; Various Locations, State of New York

This action modifies the Class D airspace areas at Elmira, NY, Poughkeepsie, NY, and Utica, NY, by amending the areas' effective hours to coincide with the associated control tower's hours of operation. This action also establishes Class E airspace at these areas when the associated control tower is closed. Additionally, this action establishes Class E airspace areas at Ithaca, NY, Niagara Falls, NY, and White Plains, NY. Presently, these areas are designated as Class D airspace when the associated control tower is in operation. However, controlled airspace to the surface is needed when the control towers located at these locations are closed. The intended effect of this action is to clarify when two-way radio communication with these air traffic control towers is required and to provide adequate Class E airspace for instrument approaches when these control towers are closed.
