14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 98-AWP-14]


Revision of Class D and Establishment of Class E Airspace; Yuma 
MCAS-Yuma International Airport, AZ; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

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

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

SUMMARY: This document confirms the effective date of a direct final 
rule which amends the Class D airspace area operating times and 
establishes a Class E airspace surface area at Yuma MCAS-Yuma 
International Airport, AZ; and corrects the Class E airspace legal 
description, as published in the direct final rule.

DATES: The direct final rule published in 63 FR 30125 is effective on 
0901 UTC, August 13, 1998. This correction is effective on August 13, 
1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Debra Trindle, Air Traffic Division, Airspace Branch, AWP-520.10, 
Federal Aviation Administration, 15000 Aviation Boulevard, Lawndale, 
California 90261; telephone: (310) 725-6613.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 3, 1998, the FAA published in the 
Federal Register a direct final rule; request for comments which 
amended the operating times of the Class D airspace area and 
established a Class E airspace surface area at Yuma MCAS-Yuma 
International Airport, Yuma, AZ. (FR Document 98-14757, 63 FR 30125, 
Airspace Docket No. 98-AWP-14). An error was subsequently discovered in 
the legal description of the Class E airspace surface area. The Class E 
surface area description specifies an altitude stratum from the surface 
up to and including 2,700 feet MSL. Defined altitudes are not a 
required or appropriate definition for Class E airspace surface areas 
in accordance with FAA Order 7400.2D, Procedures for Handling Airspace 
Matters and FAA Order 7400.9E, Airspace Designations and Reporting 
Points. After careful review of all available information related to 
the subject present above, the FAA has determined that air safety and 
the public interest require 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 
noncontroversial 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 August 13, 1998. No adverse comments were received, 
and thus this document confirms that this direct final rule will become 
effective on that date.
