SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    The Federal Register published a final rule amending Class E 
airspace at Minot International Airport, Minot, ND (81 FR 5903, 
February 4, 2016) Docket No. FAA-2015-7485. Subsequent to publication, 
the FAA found in amending the airport reference point for the airports 
and VORTAC, additional existing controlled airspace was inadvertently 
omitted from the rule. This action adds adjustment of the geographic 
coordinates in Class D airspace and Class E airspace extending upward 
from 700 feet above the surface for the Minot, ND, area.
