DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 96-ACE-11]


Amendment to Class E Airspace, Sioux City, IA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration [FAA], DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This rule amends the Class E airspace area at Sioux Gateway 
Airport, Sioux City, IA. The effect of this rule is to provide 
additional controlled airspace for aircraft executing the new Standard 
Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) at Sioux Gateway Airport and 
departing aircraft to transition into controlled airspace. In addition, 
this action corrects an inadvertent editorial error in the description 
of Class E5 airspace, deletes the reference to the Gateway NDB and adds 
the word Sioux to Gateway NDB in the Class 4 airspace that was 
published in the Federal Register on August 6, 1996 (61 FR 40719), 
Airspace Docket No. 96-ACE-11, Direct final rule, request for comments.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901UTC , January 31, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kathy Randolph, Operations Branch, ACE-530C, Federal Aviation 
Administration, 601 E. 12th St., Kansas City, MO 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 
(61 FR 40719). 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 advises 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 January 31, 1997. No adverse comments were 
received, and thus this notice confirms that this final rule will 
become effective on that date. In addition, an error was discovered in 
the description of Class E5 airspace and the word Sioux was omitted 
from the Class E4 airspace. This action corrects that error.

Correction to Final Rule

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the 
airspace description for the Class E airspace area at Sioux City, IA,
