Modification to the Gulf of Mexico Low Offshore Airspace Area

This action amends the Gulf of Mexico Low Offshore Airspace Area. Specifically, this action modifies the Gulf of Mexico Low Offshore Airspace Area by extending the boundaries further south and southwest of the current location to the Houston Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) Flight Information Region/Control Area (FIR/ CTA). The FAA is taking this action to provide additional airspace in which domestic air traffic control procedures may be used to separate and manage aircraft operations. This change will enhance the efficient utilization of that airspace.
