[Airspace Docket Nos. 91-AWA-3]
RIN 2120-AE46


Alteration of the Denver Class B Airspace Area; CO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; announcement of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: On February 28, 1995, the new Denver International Airport is 
scheduled to open, replacing Stapleton International Airport. This 
action supports the new Denver International Airport airspace structure 
by altering the Denver, CO, Class B airspace area. [[Page 8166]] This 
change was delayed previously pending the opening of the new Denver 
International Airport. This Class B airspace reconfiguration coincides 
with the scheduled opening date of the new airport.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The final rule at 58 FR 48722, as postponed at 58 FR 
60552, as corrected at 59 FR 2953, and as postponed at 59 FR 10744 and 
59 FR 24914, is effective 0701 UTC, February 28, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 correcting an error in the coordinates for the 
airport reference point and the supporting Navigational Aid for the new 
Denver International Airport, and to reflect the upgrading of the 
Denver Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range facility to a very 
high frequency omnidirectional range/tactical air navigational 
facility. Most recently, the FAA delayed these rules indefinitely 
pending the official opening of the Denver International Airport. The 
new Denver International Airport is scheduled to open on February 28, 
1995. This airspace reconfiguration coincides with the opening date of 
the new airport.
    Because the public needs to be made aware of the opening date 
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, Airspace Docket No. 91-AWA-3 
altering the Class B airspace area in Denver, CO, 58 FR 48722 
(September 17, 1993); as postponed at 58 FR 60552 (November 17, 1993), 
as corrected at 59 FR 2953 (January 20, 1994), and as postponed at 59 
FR 10744 (March 8, 1994) and 59 FR 24914 (May 13, 1994) is effective 
February 28, 1995.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on February 8, 1995.
