14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 98-AWP-23]
Revision to Class E Airspace; Reno, NV
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 revises the legal description for the E3 airspace area
designated as an extension to the Class C airspace at Reno, NV. This
document also corrects the airspace legal description that was
published incorrectly in the direct final rule; request for comments.
The correction involves deleting ``CA'' and inserting ``NV'' to
properly identify the geographic location. Additionally, coordinates
for the Reno ILS Localizer and references to it have been added to the
legal description to correct a previous omission. This correction is
editorial in nature and does not affect the substance of the airspace
action.
DATES: The direct final rule published in 63 FR 58628 is effective at
0901 UTC, January 28, 1999. The correction is also effective on January
28, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 2, 1998, the FAA published in
the Federal Register a direct final rule; request for comments which
revised the Class E airspace area consisting of airspace extending
upward from the surface designated as an extension to the Class C
surface area at Reno/Tahoe International Airport. (FR
[[Page 71217]]
Document 98-29297, 63 FR 58628, Airspace Docket No. 98-AWP-23). An
error was subsequently discovered in the publication of the docket. The
docket failed to cite properly the coordinates for the Reno ILS
localizer in the airspace legal description. The error was an
inadvertent omission, and the correction included in this document has
no substantive effect on the airspace action. After 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 the correction will not change
the meaning of the action, nor will it add any 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. The 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 January 28, 1999. No adverse comments were
received; therefore this document confirms that the direct final rule
will become effective on January 28, 1999.

November 2, 1998, 63 FR 58628, make the following correction to the
