What it does

This action revokes the Domestic Low Altitude Reporting Point, Farmington, NM, VORTAC in Farmington, NM and establishes Domestic Low Altitude Reporting Point, Rattlesnake, NM, VORTAC. The name of the Farmington VORTAC was officially changed in 2003. Concurrently to the changing of the VORTAC name, a final rule was published in the Federal Register, amending eight Federal airways and seven Jet routes. However, this name change was not updated in the listing of Domestic Low Altitude Reporting Points as published in the FAA JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points. This change is editorial only and does not alter the location of the VORTAC. The only change is to the name of the VORTAC.
