HTS CTLR VOICED CONCERN REGARDING THE LACK OF UPDATED CHARTING INFO REF NEW ANTENNA (MID 2006) INCREASING SEVERAL ALT MINIMUMS.

Narrative

DURING JUNE/JULY 2006 A NEW RADIO TRANSMISSION TOWER WAS CONSTRUCTED NEAR SOUTH SHORE; KY. WHEN THE NOTICE OF PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION CIRCULATED; IT WAS NOTED THAT DUE TO THE HEIGHT IT WOULD AFFECT MINIMUM ENROUTE; MINIMUM VECTORING; AND INITIAL APCH MISSED APCH ALTITUDES. DUE TO OVERSIGHTS IN THE PAPERWORK PROCESS; OUR FACILITY (HUNTINGTON ATCT; WV) WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE NOTICE OF CONSTRUCTION AND ONLY BECAME AWARE OF THE TOWER BY PLT COMPLAINTS -- COMPLAINTS RECEIVED DURING DECEMBER 2006. OUR FACILITY HAS REVISED THE MINIMUM VECTOR ALTITUDE IN THAT SECTOR; BUT ALMOST 15 MONTHS LATER THE CHANGES TO LOW ALTITUDE AND INSTRUMENT APCH PROC CHARTS REMAIN AS FDC NOTAMS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND DISSERVICE TO THE AVIATION COMMUNITY. IT IS CLEAR THE CHANGES ARE PERMANENT; SO WHY NOT REVISE THE INSTRUMENT APCH PROC AND LOW ALTITUDE CHARTS TO PUT THE INFORMATION IN FRONT OF THE PLT? WHEN ASKED ABOUT WHEN THESE CHANGES WILL BE PUBLISHED ON THE CHARTS; I HAVE BEEN TOLD OKLAHOMA CITY HAS TO WAIT UNTIL THE PROCS ARE DUE FOR CHANGE OR REVIEW.
