[Airspace Docket No. 98-ANE-93]


Establishment of Class E Airspace; Fitchburg, MA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: This notice confirms the effective date of a direct final rule 
which establishes a Class E airspace area at Fitchburg, MA, to provide 
for adequate controlled airspace for those aircraft using the new GPS 
RWY 32 Instrument Approach Procedure to Fitchburg Municipal Airport, 
Fitchburg, MA (KFIT).

EFFECTIVE DATE: The direct final rule published at 63 FR 40173 is 
effective 0901 UTC, October 8, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
David T. Bayley, Airspace Branch, ANE-520.3, New England Executive 
Park, Burlington, MA 01803-5299; telephone (781) 238-7523; fax (781) 
238-7596.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA published this direct final rule 
with a request for comments in the Federal Register on July 28, 1998 
(63 FR 40173). 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 October 8, 1998. No adverse comments were received, 
and thus this notice confirms that this direct rule will become 
effective on that date.

    Issued in Burlington, MA, on September 3, 1998.

Manager, Air Traffic Division, New England Region.
