DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 96-ANE-46]


Amendment to Class E Airspace; Springfield/Chicopee, MA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies the Class E airspace at Springfield/
Chicopee, MA by removing the Class E airspace extending upward from the 
surface, effective during the times when the Airport Traffic Control 
Tower (ATCT) is not operating. This action results from the elimination 
of continuous weather reporting at Westover ARB/Metropolitan Airport 
(KCEF).

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule was effective 0901 UTC, January 30, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sandra V. Bogosian, Operations Branch, 
ANE-530.4, Federal Aviation Administration, 12 New England Executive 
Park, Burlington, MA 01803-5299; telephone (617) 238-7534; fax (617) 
238-7596.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA published this direct final with a 
request for comments in the Federal Register on December 19, 1996 (61 
FR 66911). 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 January 30. No adverse comments were received, and 
thus this notice confirms that this final rule became effective on that 
date.

    Issued in Burlington, MA, on February 28, 1997.

Manager, Air Traffic Division, New England Region.
