ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This action confirms the effective date of a rule, published on November 25, 1997, which established a maximum weight limit of 3,375 pounds for seaplanes that are proposed for type certification in the primary category. EFFECTIVE DATE: February 23, 1998. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brian A. Yanez, Certification Procedures Branch (AIR-110), Aircraft Certification Service, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591, telephone (202) 267-9588. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA published the direct final rule with a request for comments in the Federal Register on November 25, 1997 (62 FR 62805). The FAA uses the direct final rulemaking procedure for a non-controversial rule where the FAA believes 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 February 23, 1998. No adverse comments were received, and thus this document confirms that the final rule will become effective on that date. Issued in Washington, DC, on February 3, 1998. Donald P. Byrne, Assistant Chief Counsel for Regulations. [FR Doc. 98-3292 Filed 2-9-98; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910-13-M
