DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 91

[Docket No. 27583; Amendment No. 91-238]

 

Special Visual Flight Rules (SVFR); Denver, CO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; delay of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: On January 19, 1994, the FAA published a final rule to amend 
appendix D, part 91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations to accurately 
reflect the name of the new Denver, Colorado, airport. The new Denver 
International Airport, which will replace the Denver Stapleton Airport, 
was scheduled to open in March 1994. Opening of the Denver 
International Airport has been postponed to May 15, 1994. In view of 
the postponement, this action delays the rule's effective date until 
May 15, 1994.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Effective March 9, 1994, the effective date of the 
final rule at 59 FR 2918, as corrected at 59 FR 6547, is delayed until 
May 15, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ms. Ellen Crum, Air Traffic Rules Branch (ATP-230), Airspace-Rules and 
Aeronautical Information Division, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., 
Washington, DC 20591, telephone (202) 267-8783.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 19, 1994, the FAA published a 
technical amendment intending to indicate in sections 1 and 3 of 
appendix D, 14 CFR part 91 that, on March 9, the new Denver 
International Airport will open, replacing the Stapleton International 
Airport (Amendment No. 91-236; 59 FR 2918). In the amendment, however, 
the FAA inadvertently indicated that the word ``Stapleton'' should be 
replaced with the word ``International.'' The FAA issued a correcting 
amendment on February 11, 1994 (59 FR 6547).
    The official opening of the Denver International Airport has now 
been delayed until May 15, 1994. Accordingly, the effective date of the 
technical amendment, as subsequently corrected, 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 procedures are impracticable and good 
cause exists for making the postponement effective in less than 30 
days.
    In consideration of the foregoing, effective March 9, 1994, the 
effective date of the final rule amending the name of the new Denver, 
Colorado, airport in appendix D of 14 CFR part 91 (59 FR 2918; January 
19, 1994) and the effective date of the final rule correction (59 FR 
6547, February 11, 1994) are delayed from March 9 to May 15, 1994.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on March 4, 1994.
Willis C. Nelson,
Assistant Manager, Airspace-Rules and Aeronautical Information 
Division.
