As part of that final rule, the verbiage in the Class E2 airspace legal description for Phillips Army Airfield (AAF), Aberdeen, MD, was incorrect, erroneously indicating a part-time status. In fact, the Class E2 airspace at Phillips AAF will be effective on a full-time basis. This action corrects that error by amending the airspace legal description to accurately reflect its full-time status. <HD SOURCE="HD1">Correction to the Final Rule</HD> Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, in Docket No. FAA-2025-0400, as published in the <E T="04">Federal Register</E> on June 2, 2025, FR Doc. 2025-09856 is corrected as follows: <REGTEXT TITLE="14" PART="71"> 1.
