SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

The Federal Register published a final rule amending Class E airspace at Minot International Airport, Minot, ND (81 FR 5903, February 4, 2016) Docket No. FAA-2015-7485. Subsequent to publication, the FAA found in amending the airport reference point for the airports and VORTAC, additional existing controlled airspace was inadvertently omitted from the rule. This action adds adjustment of the geographic coordinates in Class D airspace and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface for the Minot, ND, area.
