Amendment of Chicago Class B and Chicago Class C Airspace; 
Chicago, IL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule, technical amendment, correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action corrects a final rule published in the Federal 
Register of August 16, 2018, that amended the Chicago Class B and 
Chicago Class C airspace area descriptions by changing references to 
the Chicago O'Hare VHF Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring 
Equipment (VOR/DME) to ``Point of Origin.'' Additionally, the Chicago 
Class B and Chicago Class C airspace area descriptions were edited to 
reflect the Chicago Midway International Airport name change to match 
the current information in the FAA's aeronautical database. The Chicago 
Class B airspace description listed in the rule is corrected to reflect 
updated geographic coordinates for the Chicago O'Hare International 
Airport airport reference point (ARP), updated geographic coordinates 
for two points in the Area A description, and updated geographic 
coordinates for one point in the Area F description.

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, October 11, 2018. The Director of the 
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 
Title 1, Code of Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to the annual 
revision of FAA Order 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register for Docket 
No. FAA-2018-0632 (83 FR 40662, August 16, 2018), amending the Chicago 
Class B and Chicago Class C airspace area descriptions by changing 
references to the Chicago O'Hare VOR/DME to ``Point of OrigiN'' 
Additionally, the Chicago Class B and Chicago Class C airspace area 
descriptions were edited to reflect the Chicago Midway International 
Airport name change. Subsequent to publication, the FAA identified 
editorial errors in the Chicago Class B description to the geographic 
coordinates of the Chicago O'Hare International Airport ARP, the 
geographic coordinates to two points in Area A, and the geographic 
coordinates to one point in Area F. To accurately reflect the Chicago 
Class B airspace area on aeronautical charts and digital charting 
applications, this correction changes the geographic coordinates of the 
Chicago O'Hare International Airport ARP from ``(lat. 41[deg]58'38'' N, 
long. 87[deg]54'29'' W)'' to read ``(lat. 41[deg]58'28'' N, long. 
87[deg]54'24'' W)''; the geographic coordinates to two points in Area A 
from ``(lat. 41[deg]57'12'' N, long. 88[deg]01'56'' W)'' to read 
``(lat. 41[deg]57'26'' N, long. 88[deg]01'39'' W)'' and from ``(lat. 
42[deg]05'03'' N, long. 87[deg]56'26'' W)'' to read ``(lat. 
42[deg]05'03'' N, long. 87[deg]56'25'' W)''; and the geographic 
coordinates to one point in Area F from ``(lat. 41[deg]50'40'' N, long. 
88[deg]25'44'' W)'' to read ``(lat. 41[deg]50'39'' N, long. 
88[deg]25'43'' W)''.
