14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 97-ACE-36]


Amendment to Class D and Class E Airspace; Topeka, Philip Billard 
Municipal Airport, KS; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date and 
correction.

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

SUMMARY: This notice confirms the effective date of a direct final rule 
which revises Class D and Class E airspace at Topeka, Philip Billard 
Municipal Airport, KS, and corrects two errors in the airspace 
designation as published in the direct final rule.

DATES: The direct final rule published at 63 FR 4378 is effective on 
0901 UTC, April 23, 1998.
    This correction is effective on April 23, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy Randolph, Air Traffic Division, 
Airspace Branch, ACE-520C, Federal Aviation Administration, 601 East 
12th Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64106; telephone: (816) 426-3408.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 29, 1998, the FAA published in 
the Federal Register a direct final rule, request for comments, which 
modified the Class D and Class E airspace at Topeka, Philip Billard 
Municipal Airport, KS (FR Doc. 98-2217, 63 FR 4378, Airspace Docket No. 
97-ACE-36). Two errors were subsequently discovered in the Class E 
airspace designation. After careful review of all available information 
related to the subject presented above, the FAA has determined that air 
safety and the public interest require adoption of the rule. The FAA 
has determined that these corrections will not change the meaning of 
the action nor add any additional burden on the public beyond that 
already published. This action corrects those errors and confirms the 
effective date of the direct final rule.
    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 April 23, 1998. No adverse comments were received, 
and thus this notice confirms that this direct final rule will become 
effective on that date.
