mean sea level (msl), or 0.4 foot above the authorized target elevation 
of 802.5 feet msl. The exemptee would continue to operate within the 
authorized elevation range of 801.83 feet msl and 803.17 feet msl. The

study the feasibility of permanently amending the exemption to operate 
at the higher target elevation.
