Revision of the Legal Description of the Memphis Class B Airspace Area; Tennessee

This action revises the legal description of the Memphis, TN, Class B airspace area by changing the point of origin of the airspace area from the Memphis Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/ Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) to the VORTAC's present geographical coordinate. The FAA is taking this action due to the relocation of the Memphis VORTAC 2.85 nautical miles south of the site it currently occupies. The intent of this action is to facilitate the relocation of the Memphis VORTAC without changing the actual dimensions, configuration, or operating requirements of the Memphis Class B airspace area. The effective date of this rulemaking action will coincide with the relocation of the Memphis VORTAC. The August 13, 1998, effective date does not correspond with a scheduled publication date for the appropriate aeronautical charts. The Memphis Visual Flight Rules (VFR) Terminal Area Chart and Memphis Sectional Aeronautical Chart will be published on October 8, 1998, and will reflect this rulemaking action.
