    The FAA published a direct final rule with a request for comments 
in the Federal Register on May 29, 1996 (61 FR 26781), The FAA uses the 
direct final rulemaking procedure for a non-controversial rule where 
the FAA believes that there will be no adverse public comment. The 
direct final rule advised the public that no adverse comments were 
anticipated, and that unless a written adverse comment, or a written 
notice of intent to submit such an adverse comment, were received 
within the comment period, the regulation would become effective on 
August 15, 1996. No adverse comments were received, and thus this 
document confirms that the final rule will become effective on that 
date.
