[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.
