14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2008-0817; Airspace Docket No. 08-ANE-101]


Amendment to Class E Airspace; Windsor Locks, Bradley 
International Airport, CT

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

[[Page 70271]]


ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This action confirms the effective date of a direct final rule 
published in the Federal Register (73 FR 56471) that revises the Class 
E Airspace at Windsor Locks, Bradley International Airport, CT (BDL) to 
provide for adequate controlled airspace for those aircraft using 
Instrument Approach Procedures previously defined using the CHUPP NDB. 
The CHUPP NDB has been decommissioned, and after evaluation of the 
extension to the Windsor Locks Class C airspace, the FAA determined 
that the Class E3 airspace should be retained and extended 1 mile to 
provide adequate controlled airspace for the Instrument Approach 
Procedures to BDL. In addition, this action corrects a minor error made 
in the Airspace Designation.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, November 20, 2008. The Director of the 
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 
Title 1, Code of Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to the annual 
revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Confirmation of Effective Date

    The FAA published this direct final rule with a request for 
comments in the Federal Register on September 29 (73 FR 56471) amending 
Class E3 airspace at Windsor Locks, Bradley International Airport, CT 
(BDL) to provide for adequate controlled airspace for those aircraft 
using Instrument Approach Procedures to the airport. 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 
November 20, 2008. No adverse comments were received, and thus this 
notice confirms that effective date.

Correction to Final Rule

    After publication, it was observed that a grammatical correction 
was required to correct the Airspace Designation. Therefore, in the 
Federal Register Docket No. FAA-2008-0817; Airspace Docket No. 08-ANE-
101, published on September 29, 2008, (73 FR 56471) make the following 
correction. On page 56473, in the first column, in the Airspace 
Designation correct the State identifier (currently CTA) to read 
``CT''.
    For verification and to avoid confusion, the entire description 
should read as follows:

Paragraph 6003 Class E Airspace Areas Designated as an Extension.

* * * * *

ANE CT E3 Windsor Locks, CT [Revised]

Windsor Locks, Bradley International Airport, CT,
    (Lat. 41[deg]56'20'' N., long 72[deg]41'00'' W.)

    That airspace extending upward from the surface within 3.2 miles 
each side of the 224 bearing from the Bradley International Airport 
(BDL) and extending from the 5 mile radius to 9.6 miles SW of the 
Bradley International Airport. The Class E airspace area is 
effective during specific dates and times established in advance by 
a Notice to Airmen. The effective date and time will thereafter be 
continuously published in the Airport/Facility directory.
