KS

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.

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

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

which removed the Class D airspace area at Marshall Army Airfield, Ft.

Riley, Kansas. The control tower at Marshall Army Airfield is not in

operation and will not be operational in the foreseeable future.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The direct final rule published at 62 FR 17052 became

effective 0901 UTC July 17, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy Randolph, Air Traffic Division,

Airspace Branch, ACE-520C, Federal Aviation Administration, 601 East

12th Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64106; telephone (816) 426-3408.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA published this direct final rule

with a request for comments in the Federal Register on April 9, 1997

(62 FR 17052). 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, was received within the comment period, the regulation would

become effective on July 17, 1997. No adverse comments were received,

and thus this document confirms that the direct final rule became

effective on that date.

Issued in Kansas City, MO, on October 23, 1997.

Acting Manager, Air Traffic Division, Central Region.
