14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. 96-ACE-12]


Amendment to Class E Airspace, Knob Noster, MO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: This rule amends the Class E airspace area at Whiteman AFB, 
Knob Noster, MO. A review of Class E airspace revealed a need to 
increase the airspace area to contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) 
operations at Whiteman AFB. The effect of this rule is to provide 
additional controlled airspace for aircraft executing the Standard 
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAP) and for departing aircraft to 
transition into controlled airspace.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC December 5, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kathy Randolph, Air Traffic Division, Operations Branch, ACE-530C, 
Federal Aviation Administration, 601 East 12th Street, Kansas City, 
Missouri 64106: telephone (816) 426-3408.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA published this direct final rule 
with a request for comments in the Federal Register on August 6, 1996 
(152 FR 40717). 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. This 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 December 5, 1996. No adverse comments were 
received, and thus this notice confirms that this final rule will 
become effective on that date.

    Issued in Kansas City, MO, on September 30, 1996.

Manager, Air Traffic Division, Central Region.
