Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 98-ACE-4]


Amendment to Class D and Class E Airspace; Joplin, MO; 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 Joplin Regional Airport, 
MO, and corrects the Airport Reference Point, as published in the 
direct final rule.

DATES: The direct final rule published at 63 FR 8093 is effective on 
0901 UTC, June 18, 1998. This correction is effective on June 18, 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 February 18, 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 Joplin Regional Airport, 
MO (FR Document 98-3964, 63 FR 8093, Airspace Docket No. 98-ACE-4). An 
error was subsequently discovered in the Airport Reference Point for 
Class D and Class E airspace designations. After careful review of all 
available information related to the subject presented above, the FAA 
has determined that air safety and the public interest required 
adoption of the rule. The FAA has determined that this correction will 
not change the meaning of the action nor add any additional burden on 
the public beyond that already published. This action corrects the 
error 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 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 June 18, 1998. No adverse comments were received, 
and thus this notice confirms that this direct final rule will become 
effective on that date.
