AGENCY:

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION:

Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY:

This action is the second of two corrections to a final rule the FAA published in the Federal Register on November 26, 2025, that modified Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface and the Class E airspace area designated as an extension to a Class D or Class E surface area at Ellison Onizuka Kona International at Keahole Airport (KOA), Kailua-Kona, HI. This action makes ministerial corrections to geographic coordinates. The first correction, published in the Federal Register on December 11, 2025, did not fully implement all of the needed corrections.

DATES:

The effective date of the final rule published in the Federal Register on November 26, 2025 (90 FR 54228) remains January 22, 2026, 0901 UTC. The Director of the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register (90 FR 54228; November 26, 2025), which modified the Class E airspace area extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface and Class E airspace area designated as an extension to a Class D or Class E surface area at KOA. Subsequent to publication, and following a recent survey, the FAA amended the geographic coordinates for KOA. Accordingly, the updated geographic location will now serve as the point of origin from which the Class E airspace area boundaries are derived, no longer requiring reference to the ( printed page 58149) Point in Space Alpha fix that appeared in the KOA's airspace legal description in the final rule. The previous correction failed to fully implement these corrections. This action addresses the remaining corrections needed.
