[Airspace Docket No. 99-AGL-42]


Modification of Class E Airspace; Marquette, MI; Revocation of 
Class E Airspace; Sawyer, MI, and K.I. Sawyer, MI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; new effective date.

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

SUMMARY: On December 3, 1999, the FAA published a final rule modifying 
Class E airspace at Marquette, MI, and revoking the Class E airspace at 
Sawyer, MI, and K.I. Sawyer, MI. An integral part of this airspace 
action is the decommissioning of the Marquette (MQT), MI, VHF 
Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) and 
commissioning of the new Gwinn (GWI), MI, VOR/DME. On February 2, 2000, 
the effective date of this final rule was delayed until further notice 
due to the delay in the commissioning, due to construction, of the new 
Gwinn VOR/DME. The date for commissioning of the GWI VOR/DME is now 
expected to be August 10, 2000.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the final rule published at 64 FR 
67713 is 0901 UTC, August 10, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Denis C. Burke, Air Traffic Division, 
Airspace Branch, AGL-520, Federal Aviation Administration, 2300 East 
Devon Avenue, Des Plaines, Illinois 60018, telephone (847) 294-7568.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 3, 1999, the FAA published a 
final rule modifying Class E airspace at Marquette, MI, and revoking 
the Class E airspace at Sawyer, MI, and K.I. Sawyer, MI (64 FR 67713). 
Due to a delay in construction, and subsequent commissioning, of the 
new Gwinn, MI, VOR/DME this airspace action could not be implemented on 
the original effective date.
    Accordingly, on February 2, 2000, the effective date of the 
modification of the Class E airspace at Marquette, MI, and the 
revocation of the Class E airspace at Sawyer, MI, and K.I. Sawyer, MI, 
was delayed until further notice (65 FR 4871). The commissioning date 
for the GWI VOR/DME is now expected to be August 10, 2000.
    In consideration of the foregoing, the new effective date of the 
final rule modifying Class E airspace at Marquette, MI, and revoking 
the Class E airspace at Sawyer, MI, and K.I. Sawyer, MI (64 FR 67713, 
December 3, 1999) is established as August 10, 2000.

    Issued in Des Plaines, Illinois on April 20, 2000.

Acting Manager, Air Traffic Division.
