SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    The FAA published a direct final rule with request for comments in 
the Federal Register July 7, 2008 (73 FR 38313), Docket No. FAA-2008-
0683. The FAA uses the direct final rule procedure for non-
controversial rules 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 an adverse comment, 
was received within the comment period, the regulation would become 
effective on September 25, 2008. No adverse comments were received; 
thus, this notice confirms that the direct final rule will become 
effective on this date.
