SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    Federal Register Document 99-21039, Airspace Docket 99-AAL-6, 
published on August 13, 1999, (64 FR 44114), revised the Class D and 
Class E airspace areas at Lake Hood, Elmendorf AFB, and Merrill Field, 
AK. The geographic descriptions for the Merrill Field Class D and Class 
E are in error. The Class D and Class E descriptions incorrectly read 
``. . . west along Tudor Road to the New Seward Highway, thence direct 
to the Mouth of Fish Creek, thence direct to the Northern Lights Blvd 
railroad bridge, thence direct to Point MacKenzie, . . .'' The Northern 
Lights Blvd railroad bridge should be listed before the Mouth of Fish 
Creek and the descriptions should read ``. . . west along Tudor Road to 
the New Seward Highway, thence direct to the Northern Lights Blvd 
railroad bridge, thence direct to the Mouth of Fish Creek, thence 
direct to Point MacKenzie, . . .'' This action corrects these errors.

Correction to Final Rule

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the 
geographic descriptions listed for the Merrill Field Class D and Class 
E as published in the Federal Register on August 13, 1999, (64 FR 
44114), (Federal Register Document 99-21039, pages 44115-44116), is 
corrected as follows:
