14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 99-AWP-8]


Correction of Class D Airspace; Bullhead City, AZ

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: This document confirms the effective date of a direct final 
rule which corrects the Class D airspace area at Laughlin/Bullhead 
International Airport, Bullhead City, AZ. On January 4, 1996, the Class 
D airspace ceiling of Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport was 
published and charted in error as 2,500 feet Above Ground Level (AGL). 
FAA Order 7400.9G requires all altitudes to be published in feet above 
Mean Sea Level (MSL). The corrected altitude of 3,200 feet MSL will not 
change the boundaries or volume of Class D airspace area associated 
with Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport but will only correct the 
ceiling of existing Class D airspace area from an AGL height to reflect 
the same altitude using MSL.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC September 9, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the direct final rule confirmation date in 
triplicate to: Federal Aviation Administration, Attn: Manager, Airspace 
Branch, AWP-520, Docket No. 99-AWP-8, Air Traffic Division, P.O. Box 
92007, Worldway Postal Center, Los Angeles, California 90009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 28, 1999, the FAA published in the 
Federal Register a direct final rule; request for comments, which 
corrected the Class D airspace at Bullhead City, AZ, by changing the 
ceiling of the Class D from 2,500 feet above ground level to 3,200 feet 
mean sea level. (FR Document 99-17173, 64 FR 40745, Airspace Docket No. 
99-AWP-8). 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 September 9, 1999. No adverse comments were 
received; therefore this document confirms that this direct final rule 
will become effective on that date.

    Issued in Los Angeles, California, on September 9, 1999.
John G. Clancy,
Manager, Air Traffic Division, Western-Pacific Region.
