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.

Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591;

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.
