[Airspace Docket No. 97-ASW-03]

Revision of Class E Airspace; Carlisle, AR

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: This action confirms the effective date of a direct final rule

which revises the Class E airspace at Carlisle, AR. The development of

a Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Instrument Approach

Procedure (SIAP) to Runway (RWY) 09 at Carlisle Municipal Airport and a

Nondirectional Radio Beacon (NDB) SIAP to RWY 18 at Stuttgart Municipal

Airport has made this rule necessary. The direct final rule is intended

to provide adequate Class E airspace for aircraft operating under

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) and executing the GPS SIAP at Carlisle

Municipal Airport and the NDB SIAP at Stuttgart Municipal Airport, and

both airports are identified within Carlisle, AR, Class E airspace.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The direct final rule published at 62 FR 28339 is

effective 0901 UTC, September 11, 1997.

Donald J. Day, Airspace Branch, Air Traffic Division, Southwest Region,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA published this direct final rule

with a request for comments in the Federal Register on May 23, 1997 (62

FR 28339). 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 the direct final rule will

be effective on that date.

Issued in Fort Worth, TX, on August 5, 1997.

Acting Manager, Air Traffic Division, Southwest Region.
