[Airspace Docket No. 97-ASW-02]

Revision of Class D Airspace; Little Rock, AFB, AR

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: This action revises the Class D airspace at Little Rock Air

Force Base (AFB), AR. The development of a Precision Approach Radar

(PAR) and a Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN) Standard Instrument

Approach Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (RWY) of 07 at the airport has made

this rule necessary. This action is intended to provide adequate Class

D airspace for aircraft operating under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)

and executing the PAR or TACAN SIAP at Little Rock AFB, AR.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, September 11, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA published this direct final rule

with a request for comments in the Federal Register on May 1, 1997 (62

FR 23644). 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 11, 1997. No adverse comments were

received, and thus this action confirms that this final rule will be

effective on that date.

Issued in Fort Worth, TX, on July 7, 1997.

Acting Manager, Air Traffic Division, Southwest Region.
