[Federal Register Volume 60, Number 28 (Friday, February 10, 1995)] [Rules and Regulations] [Pages 8165-8166] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 95-3478] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 14 CFR Part 71 [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. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Norman W. Thomas, Airspace and 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. 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. Harold W. Becker, Manager, Airspace-Rules and Aeronautical Information Division. [FR Doc. 95-3478 Filed 2-8-95; 11:42 am] BILLING CODE 4910-13-M
