Narrative:

On feb/xx/97, the outer limits of the MOA atcaa were extended to accommodate the request of the ANG unit. This airspace was extended 20 mi to the northeast of its present position. It was brought to the FAA's attention on feb/xx/97, that this proposed airspace change needed to be properly mapped out on the radar scopes. On feb/xx/97, non approved airspace was released to the military on at least 3 different occasions. Air traffic controllers needed these boundaries to safely separate military aircraft from the flying public. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter indicated the request was set up for one date for 3 different time periods. Reporter is unsure if the ANG will be requesting the area on certain days or if the procedure will become permanent. Reporter is unaware of any mapping changes for the airspace involved.
