(3) A designation:
(a) must specify an area by reference to its boundaries; and
(b) may specify the boundaries of a volume of airspace above that area to which the designation applies.
(4) A designation made under this regulation must be made to take effect on, or after, the day on which the designation is published in accordance with subregulation (6).
