SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

In a final rule published in the Federal Register July 8, 2010 (75 FR 39148) Airspace Docket No. 09-ANM-25, the airspace description for the Lucin VORTAC, Lucin, UT, incorrectly referenced the existing Class E en route domestic airspace exclusion above 8,500 feet MSL. As written, the wording may cause confusion as to the exclusion of the existing controlled airspace at 8,500 feet MSL. It should read 8,500 feet and above MSL.

The FAA's Aeronautical Products office correctly charted the airspace and requested the correction be made. Accordingly, since this is an administrative change, and does not involve a change in the dimensions, altitudes, or operating requirements of that airspace, notice and public procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.
