14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 91-AWA-3]
RIN 2120-AE46

 

Alteration of the Denver Class B Airspace Area; Colorado

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; delay of effective date.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On September 17, 1993, the Federal Aviation Administration 
(FAA) published a final rule altering the Denver, CO, Class B airspace 
area. On January 20, 1994, a correction to the final rule was published 
to correct certain airport reference point and navigational aid 
(NAVAID) coordinates for the new airport, and to reflect that the 
Denver Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) has been 
upgraded to a Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Distance 
Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) facility. In view of the delay in the 
opening date of the new Denver International Airport, this action 
delays the rule's effective date until May 15, 1994.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 8, 1994, the effective date of the final rules at 
58 FR 48722, as postponed at 58 FR 60552 and corrected at 59 FR 2953 is 
delayed until 0601 UTC, May 15, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 17, 1993, the Federal Aviation 
Administration (FAA) published a final rule altering the Denver, CO, 
Class B airspace area. Subsequently, on November 17, 1993, a delay of 
effective date was published and on January 20, 1994, a correction to 
the final rule was published to correct an error in the coordinates for 
the airport reference point and the supporting NAVAID for the new 
Denver International Airport, and to reflect that the Denver VOR has 
been upgraded to a VOR/DME facility. The official opening of the Denver 
International Airport has now been delayed until May 15, 1994. 
Accordingly, the effective date of the alteration and correction of the 
related Class B airspace area should be postponed to coincide with the 
opening of the new airport.
    Because the public needs to be made aware of this postponement 
immediately, notice and public procedure are impracticable and good 
cause exists for making the postponement effective in less than 30 
days.
    In consideration of the foregoing, effective March 8, 1994, the 
effective date of the final rule altering the Denver, Co, Class B 
airspace area (58 FR 48722; September 17, 1993), as delayed by a final 
rule at 58 FR 60552, November 17, 1993, and the effective date of the 
final rule correction (59 FR 2953; January 20, 1994) are delayed from 
March 9, 1994, to 0601 UTC, May 15, 1994.
