Modification of the Atlantic High Offshore Airspace Area; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY: This action corrects a final rule published in the Federal Register on April 20, 1998 (Airspace Docket No. 97-ASO-16) which extended the southeast boundary of the Atlantic High Offshore airspace area. In that rule, the offshore airspace area's legal description contained several inadvertent errors in the coordinates. This action corrects those errors.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 18, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ellen E. Crum, Airspace and Rules Division, ATA-400, Office of Air Traffic Airspace Management, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591; Telephone: (202) 267-8783.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Federal Register Document 98-10301, Airspace Docket No. 97-AS0-16, published on April 20, 1998 (63 FR 19396), modified the Atlantic High Offshore Airspace Area by extending the southeast boundary of the Atlantic High Offshore Airspace Area to coincide with the San Juan Combined Center-Radar Approach Control (CERAP) oceanic area of control. The legal description contained in the proposal of this airspace, as published in the Federal Register on November 18, 1997 (62 FR 61458), correctly described this airspace. However, the legal description in the final rule, as published on April 20, 1998 (63 FR 19396), contained errors in the coordinates. This action corrects those errors in the legal description by deleting the entire description in the final rule and substituting the correct description of the airspace area.

Correction to Final Rule

Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the airspace designation for the Atlantic High Offshore Airspace Area, published in the Federal Register on April 20, 1998 (63 FR 19396); Federal Register Document 98-10301, and incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1, is corrected as follows:

Sec. 71.1 [Corrected]

On page 19397, in the first column, near the middle of the page, at the beginning of the legal description for the Atlantic High, remove the entire text and substitute in its place, the following text: * * * * *

Atlantic High [Revised]

That airspace extending upward from 18,000 feet MSL to and including FL 600 within the area bounded on the east from north to south by the Moncton FIR, New York Oceanic CTA/FIR, and the San Juan Oceanic CTA/FIR; to the point where the San Juan Oceanic CTA/FIR boundary turns southwest at lat. 21 deg.08'00'' N., long. 67 deg.45'00'' W., thence from that point southeast via a straight line to intersect a 100-mile radius of the Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci Airport at lat. 19 deg.47'28'' N., long. 67 deg.09'37'' W., thence counter-clockwise via a 100-mile radius of the Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci Airport to lat. 18 deg.53'05'' N., long. 67 deg.47'43'' W., thence from that point northwest via a straight line to intersect the point where the Santo Domingo FIR turns northwest at lat. 19 deg.39'00'' N., long. 69 deg.09'00'' W., thence from that point the area is bounded on the south from east to west by the Santo Domingo FIR, Port-Au-Prince CTA/FIR, and the Havana CTA/FIR; bounded on the west from south to north by the Houston Oceanic CTA/FIR, southern boundary of the Jacksonville Air Route Traffic Control Center and a line 12 miles offshore and parallel to the U.S. shoreline. * * * * *
