# Eastern United States Mountainous Area.
**AGENCY:**
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
**ACTION:**
Final rule; technical amendment.
**SUMMARY:**
The FAA is amending its regulations concerning the use of instrument flight rule (IFR) altitudes. Specifically, a duplicate coordinate in the description of the Eastern United States Mountainous Area is being removed.
**DATES:**
This amendment becomes effective October 28, 2008.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
**Background**
On April 28, 1956, FAA published a final rule revising the regulations concerning minimum en route IFR altitudes (21 FR 2750). Section 610.8 concerned the designation of mountainous areas. This section was later redesignated as § 95.13 (28 FR 6718, June 29, 1963).
When the section was originally written, one set of coordinates for the Eastern United States Mountainous Region (latitude 42°13′ N, longitude 72° 44′ W) was inadvertently repeated. This final rule removes the repeated coordinates to avoid confusion.
**Technical Amendment**
This technical amendment merely removes duplicate coordinates. There are no other changes to the list of coordinates.
**Justification for Immediate Adoption**
Because this action removes duplicated information, the FAA finds that notice and public comment under 5 U.S.C. section 553(b) is unnecessary. For the same reason, the FAA finds that good cause exists under 5 U.S.C. section 553(d) for making this rule effective upon publication.
**List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 95**
