Proposed Modification to the Gulf of Mexico High Offshore Airspace Area

Résumé

This action proposes to amend the Gulf of Mexico High Offshore Airspace Area. The proposed action would extend the present airspace area east and south to the boundary of the Houston Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) Flight Information Region/Control Area (FIR/ CTA). Additionally, this action proposes to increase the vertical limits of the proposed airspace area from Flight Level (FL) 280 up to and including FL 600. This proposed action would provide additional airspace in which domestic air traffic procedures may be used to separate and manage aircraft operations. This proposed change would enhance the efficient utilization of that airspace.
