SUMMARY: This action corrects the description of revised Class E 
airspace at Rockland, ME (KRKD) published in the Federal Register on

provide adequate controlled airspace for two new standard instrument 
approaches to the Rockland, Knox County Regional Airport.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    On December 24, 1998, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
direct final rule revising the Class E airspace at Rockland, ME (KRKD) 
due to relocation of the Sprucehead Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) and to 
provide adequate controlled airspace for two new standard instrument 
approaches to the Rockland, Knox County Regional Airport (63 FR 71218). 
Since publication of that direct final rule, the FAA has determined 
that longitude and latitude coordinates of the Rockland, Knox County 
Regional Airport must be corrected slightly to reflect the results of a 
survey taken in February 1998, and that the revised description of 
Class E airspace at Rockland, ME need not reference the Sprucehead NDB 
because the airspace is now based solely on the airport location. This 
action makes those corrections to the revised airspace description.

Correction to the Direct Final Rule

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the 
amendment to Class E airspace at Rockland, ME as published in the 
Federal Register on December 24, 1998 (63 FR 71218), Federal Register 
document 98-34166: page 71219, column 1; and the description in FAA 
Order 7400.9F, dated September 10, 1998, and effective September 16, 
1998, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1; are corrected 
to read as follows:

ANE ME E5 Rockland, ME [Corrected]

Rockland, Knox County Regional Airport, ME
    (Lat. 44 deg.03'36''N, long. 69 deg.05'57''W)

    That airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface 
within a 9-mile radius of the Knox County Regional Airport.

    Issued in Burlington, MA, on January 11, 1999.
Bill G. Peacock,
Manager, Air Traffic Division, New England Region.
