14 CFR Part 71

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

 

Alteration of the Denver Class B Airspace Area; CO

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 further delay in the 
opening date of the new Denver International Airport, this action 
delays the rule's effective date indefinitely.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Effective May 13, 1994, the effective date of the Final 
Rules at 58 FR 48722, as postponed at 58 FR 60552, as corrected at 59 
FR 2953, and as postponed at 59 FR 10744 (March 8, 1994), is delayed 
indefinitely.

Obstruction Evaluation Branch (ATP-240), Airspace-Rules and 
Aeronautical Information Division, Air Traffic Rules and Procedures 
Service, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., 
Washington, DC 20591; telephone: (202) 267-9230.

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. Most recently, the FAA had delayed 
this rule until May 15, 1994. The official opening of the Denver 
International Airport has now been delayed indefinitely due to the 
automatic baggage system difficulties.
    Accordingly, the effective date of the alteration and correction of 
the related Class B airspace area should be delayed indefinitely. Once 
the opening date of the new airport is determined, the FAA will publish 
another rule indicating the effective date of this rule.
    Because the public needs to be made aware of this delay 
immediately, notice and public procedure are impracticable and good 
cause exists for making this action effective in less than 30 days.
    In consideration of the foregoing, effective May 13, 1994, the 
effective date of the final rule altering the Denver, CO, Class B 
airspace area (58 FR 48722; September 17, 1993), as delayed at 58 FR 
60552 (November 17, 1993), as corrected at 59 FR 2953 (January 20, 
1994), and as delayed at 59 FR 10744 (March 8, 1994), is delayed 
indefinitely.

Manager, Airspace-Rules and Aeronautical Information Division.
