SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Federal Register Document 99-32347, Airspace Docket No. 99-ASO-19, 
published on December 14, 1999, (64 FR 69631), amends Class D airspace 
at Eglin AFB, FL. Errors were discovered in the legal description, 
describing the Class D airspace area. One word, ``of'' has been changed 
to ``to'', and the word ``east'' has been inserted to more clearly 
describe the airspace boundaries. These actions correct the errors.
    Designations for Class D airspace areas extending upward from the 
surface of the earth are published in Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 
7400.9J, dated August 31, 2001, and effective September 16, 2001, which 
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D airspace 
designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in 
the Order.

Need for Correction

    As published, the final rule contains errors which incorrectly 
describe the geographical boundaries of the Class D airspace area. 
Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the legal 
description for the Class D airspace area at Eglin AFB, FL, 
incorporated by reference at Sec. 71.1, 14 CFR 71.1, and published in 
the Federal Register on December 14, 1999, (64 FR 69631), is corrected 
by making the following correcting amendment.
