#  [Amended]

**AGENCY:**

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

**ACTION:**

Final rule; technical amendment, correction.

**SUMMARY:**

This action corrects a final rule; technical amendment, published in the *Federal Register* on April 7, 2015, that made a correction to a typographical error to R-6703A, R-6703B, R-6703C, R-6703D, R-6703E and R-6703F at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA. Due to a submission error, the abbreviation for West in the longitude description of restricted area R-6703A was entered as “N”. This action corrects the boundary description of R-6703A by changing the longitude direction to “W”.

**DATES:**

Effective date 0901 UTC, May 7, 2015.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

**Background**

On April 7, 2015, the FAA published a final rule; technical amendment in the *Federal Register* that made a correction to a typographical error to R-6703A, R-6703B, R-6703C, R-6703D, R-6703E and R-6703F at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA (80 FR 18519). Subsequent to publication, it was discovered that the longitude direction for R-6703A was entered as N (north) instead of W (west). The error creates an invalid geographical boundary for R-6703A. This correction replaces the abbreviation “N” with “W” in the longitude data for R-6703A.

**Correction to Final Rule; Technical Amendment**

Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the boundary description of restricted area R-6703A, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA, as published in the *Federal Register* on April 7, 2015 (80 FR 18519) (FR Doc. 2015-08005) is corrected to read as follows:

**14 CFR Part 73**

§ 73.67

**R-6703A Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA [Corrected]**

On page 18521, second column, remove the current boundaries and add in its place the following:

Beginning at lat. 47°03′07″ N., long. 122°41′09″ W.; to lat. 47°04′34″ N., long. 122°41′09″ W.; to lat. 47°04′41″ N., long. 122°38′19″ W.; to lat. 47°03′37″ N., long. 122°35′40″ W.; to lat. 47°03′15″ N., long. 122°35′48″ W.; to lat. 47°03′06″ N., long. 122°36′51″ W.; to lat. 47°02′02″ N., long. 122°37′33″ W.; to lat. 47°02′06″ N., long. 122°38′33″ W.; to lat. 47°02′14″ N., long. 122°38′53″ W.; to lat. 47°02′19″ N., long. 122°39′14″ W.; to lat. 47°02′19″ N., long. 122°39′37″ W.; to lat. 47°02′21″ N., long. 122°40′17″ W.; to lat. 47°02′38″ N., long. 122°40′39″ W.; thence via the Nisqually River to the point of beginning.
