History

On August 20, 2008, the FAA published in the Federal Register a final rule revising restricted area R-5107A, and establishing R-5107K, White Sands Missile Range, NM (73 FR 49090). This rule was originally scheduled to become effective September 25, 2008; however, the charting cutoff date required to be met to ensure charting coincidental with that effective date was missed. To meet the required charting cutoff date, and ensure restricted areas R-5107A and R-5107K are displayed on the appropriate en route charts coincidental with their effective date, the effective date is being slipped to November 20, 2008.
