ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment, correction. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This action corrects a final rule; technical amendment, published [[Page 11108]] in the Federal Register on December 15, 2014, that made minor adjustments to the boundary descriptions of restricted areas R-2932, R- 2933, R-2934 and R-2935 at Cape Canaveral, FL. Due to a submission error, one latitude/longitude point was omitted from the description of restricted area R-2935, Cape Canaveral, FL. This action corrects the boundary description of R-2935 by adding the missing point. DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, March 5, 2015. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul Gallant, Airspace Policy and Regulations Group, AJV-11, Office of Airspace Services, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591; telephone: (202) 267-8783. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On December 15, 2014, the FAA published a final rule; technical amendment in the Federal Register that made minor adjustments to the boundary descriptions of restricted areas R-2932, R-2933, R-2934 and R- 2935 at Cape Canaveral, FL (79 FR 74016). Subsequent to publication, it was determined that one latitude/longitude coordinate had been omitted from the boundary description of restricted area R-2935. The omission causes a slight gap between the boundaries of R-2935 and adjacent restricted areas. This correction inserts ``lat. 28[deg]25'01'' N., long 80[deg]37'59'' W.,'' between the points ``lat. 28[deg]25'01'' N., long. 80[deg]41'44'' W.,'' and ``lat. 28[deg]24'31'' N., long. 80[deg]29'52'' W.''
