SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On Friday, June 8, 2007 a final rule for Airspace Docket No. 06-AAL-29, FAA Docket No. FAA-2006-25852, was published in the Federal Register (72 FR 31714). This rule modified Class E Offshore Airspace in southwest Alaska. Several errors were discovered in the Control 1234L Offshore Airspace area description. The first requires further controlled airspace described around the Sand Point Airport. The next is a duplication of the Eareckson Air Force Station description, followed by two incorrect designations for West Longitude. This action corrects these errors.

Correction to Final Rule

Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the airspace description of the Class E airspace published in the Federal Register on Friday, June 8, 2007 (72 FR 31714), Airspace Docket No. 06-AAL-29, FAA Docket No. FAA-2006-25852, is corrected as follows:
