[Airspace Docket No. 97-ASO-16]
RIN 2120-AA66


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.

Division, ATA-400, Office of Air Traffic Airspace Management, Federal 
Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC

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.
