14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 97-ASW-09]


Revision of Class E Airspace; Altus, OK

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: This action confirms the effective date of a direct final rule 
which revises the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface at Altus, OK. The development of a Instrument Landing 
System (ILS) Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Runway 
(RWY) 17R at Altus Air Force Base (AFB) has made this rule necessary. 
The direct final rule is intended to provide adequate Class E airspace 
for aircraft operating under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) and 
executing the ILS SIAP to RWY 17R at Altus AFB, Altus, OK.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The direct final rule published at 62 FR 28337 is 
effective 0901 UTC, September 11, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Donald J. Day, Airspace Branch, Air 
Traffic Division, Southwest Region, Federal Aviation Administration, 
Forth Worth, TX 76193-0520, telephone: 817-222-5593.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA published this direct final rule 
with a request for comments in the Federal Register on May 23, 1997 (62 
FR 28337). 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 September 11, 1997. No adverse comments were 
received, and thus this action confirms that the direct final rule will 
be effective on that date.

    Issued in Fort Worth, TX, on August 5, 1997.

Acting Manager, Air Traffic Division, Southwest Region.
