Subject:  Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters


Section 3. Revision, Correction, and
Termination of Determination

7-3-1. REVISIONS AND TERMINATIONS BASED ON NEW FACTS

The FAA official responsible for issuing a no hazard determination has the delegated authority (Section 77.39) to revise or terminate the determination provided. The decision is based upon new facts that change the basis on which the original determination was made.

a. Revised determinations based on new aeronautical facts shall be issued under a new aeronautical study number that would cancel and supersede the original determination.

b. A decision to terminate a no-hazard determination shall be based on new facts that change the basis on which the determination was made. Normally in such a case, a subsequent "Determination of Hazard" would be issued under a new aeronautical study number.

7-3-2. CORRECTION

The FAA official issuing a determination may also correct that determination as required. Editorial changes that do not involve a coordinate change (of one second or more in latitude or longitude) or elevation change (of one foot or more) may be issued as corrections. In this case, no change to dates would be necessary. Adjustments or corrections to a proposal that involve one or both of the above coordinate or elevation changes shall be addressed as a new and separate obstruction evaluation study.

7-3-3. STANDARD FORMAT

a. A revised determination based on new aeronautical facts shall follow the standard format of the appropriate determination. An explanation should be included addressing the reason for the revision. A statement indicating that the revised determination cancels and supersedes the determination originally issued, should also be included.

b. A determination addressing editorial changes that do not involve structure coordinates or elevations may be issued by duplicating the original determination, making the corrections, adding a statement explaining the correction, and adding "Corrected" at the end of the title.

c. A determination addressing corrections to coordinates or elevations shall follow the standard format of the appropriate determination. An explanation should be included addressing the correction. This may be done in the description section of the determination. A statement should also be included which indicates that the corrected determination cancels and supersedes the original determination.

7-3-4. DISTRIBUTION

Copies of revised or corrected determinations shall be given the same distribution as the original determination and, if appropriate, be distributed to other known interested persons or parties.
