SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 31, 1998, the FAA published in the 
Federal Register a direct final rule; request for comments, which 
revised the effective hours of the Class E airspace extension for San 
Diego, North Island Naval Air Station, (NZY) Halsey Field, CA (FR 
Document 98-23367, 63 FR 46166, Airspace Docket No. 98-AWP-20). In 
April of 1998 the U.S. Navy reduced the hours of operation of the 
Airport Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) at NZY. A separate airspace docket 
has been published in the Federal Register amending the effective hours 
of the NZY Class D airspace surface area. The Class E airspace 
extension operates in conjunction with the Class D airspace surface 
area. The reduction of the ATCT hours of operation has made this action 
necessary. This action does not involve a change in the dimensions or 
operating requirements of that airspace containing Instrument Flight 
Rules (IFR) operations at NZY. 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 December 3, 1998. No adverse 
comments were received, therefore this document confirms that this 
direct final rule will become effective on that date.
