SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Federal Register Document 07-2250, Docket No. FAA-2007-27594; 07-ASO-3, published May 8, 2007, (72 FR 25962), establishes Class D and E4 airspace at Aguadilla, PR. Errors were discovered in the summary and legal description describing the Class E4 airspace area. In line 13 of the summary, Class E should read Class D. In the legal description for the Class E4 airspace, the navigation aid, Borinquen VORTAC, and geographical coordinates, Lat. 18°29′53″ N, long. 67°06′30″ W, were omitted. This action corrects those errors. Class E airspace designations for airspace areas designated as an extension to a Class D surface area are published in Paragraph 6004 of FAA Order 7400.9P, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated September 1, 2006, and effective September 15, 2006, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.
