RIN 2120-AA66
Amendment to Restricted Area R-2510A; El Centro, CA
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Technical amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In a final rule published in the Federal Register on November
9, 1993, an error was made in the airspace description for Restricted
Area R-2510A, El Centro, CA. Specifically, the action inadvertently
omitted the reference to nautical miles in the boundaries section of
the description. This action corrects that error.
DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, April 7, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On November 9, 1993, the FAA published a final rule in the Federal
Register (58 FR 27527), Airspace Docket No. 92-AWP-15 entitled
``Alteration and Subdivision of Restricted Area R-2510A; El Centro,
CA''. That action inadvertently omitted the nautical miles reference in
the description. The impact of this action was not apparent until
recently, when the U.S. Navy requested clarification of the airspace
description. Without reference to nautical miles, the description reads
in statute miles. However, the FAA's National Aeronautical Navigation
Services office currently charts the airspace in nautical miles. Since
this is an administrative change and does not affect the boundaries,
altitudes, or operating requirements of the airspace, notice and public
comment under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.
