Environmental Impacts, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has 
made a final determination to modify aircraft routes, altitudes and air

departing from Andrews Air force Base (ADW), Baltimore-Washington 
International Airport (BWI), Dulles International Airport (IAD), Reagan 
Washington National Airport (DCA) and other smaller area airports. The 
FAA's determinations on the airspace redesign are contained in the 
Record of Decision (ROD) dated May 1, 2003.

Potomac TRACON, (540) 349-7520, E-mail: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As discussed in the ROD, the revised 
aircraft routes, altitudes and procedures will be established in a 
manner consistent with the alternative ``Existing Peripheral Airspace 
Ingress/Egress Transfer Points with New Internal Airspace Design,'' 
Alternative 2, identified as the preferred alternative in the Final 
Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), Potomac Consolidated TRACON 
(PCT) Airspace Redesign, prepared by the FAA and dated December 2002. 
The FAA issued the FEIS on January 10, 2003.
