I believe this could also be interpreted differently. If the change is only about
removing the weather radar band (5600-5650), the change should be

 -       (5490 - 5730 @ 160), (24), DFS
 +       (5490 - 5570 @ 80), (24), DFS
 +       (5570 - 5590 @ 20), (24), DFS
 +       (5650 - 5730 @ 80), (24), DFS

The second rule explicitly states that channel 116 remains available for HT20. If
this level of strict correctness is not needed, rule 1 and 2 combined would be

 -       (5490 - 5730 @ 160), (24), DFS
 +       (5490 - 5590 @ 80), (24), DFS
 +       (5650 - 5730 @ 80), (24), DFS
