SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

Federal Register Document 04-917, published on Thursday, January

15, 2004, (69 FR 2996) modified Class E3 and Class E5 airspace areas at

Springfield, MO. The modification enlarged the controlled airspace area

around Springfield-Branson Regional Airport to provide proper

protection of diverse departures, corrected discrepancies in the

Springfield-Branson Regional Airport airport reference point, redefined

the location of the Springfield collocated very high frequency omni-

directional radio range and tactical air navigational aid (VORTAC) and

brought the legal descriptions of Springfield, MO, Class E airspace

areas into compliance with FAA Order 7400.2E, Procedures for Handling

Airspace Matters. However, the published comment period closing date

did not provide sufficient time for public response.

Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the

response date to the Springfield, MO, Class E airspace areas, as

published in the Federal Register on Thursday, January 15, 2004, (69 FR

2996) [FR Doc. 04-917] is corrected as follows:

On page 2296, Column 2, paragraph headed DATES, fourth line, change

``January 27'' to read ``February 27.''

Issued in Kansas City, MO, on January 21, 2004.
