[Airspace Docket No. 98-ACE-4]

Amendment to Class D and Class E Airspace; Joplin, MO; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date and

correction.

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

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

which revises Class D and Class E airspace at Joplin Regional Airport,

MO, and corrects the Airport Reference Point, as published in the

direct final rule.

DATES: The direct final rule published at 63 FR 8093 is effective on

0901 UTC, June 18, 1998. This correction is effective on June 18, 1998.

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: On February 18, 1998, the FAA published in

the Federal Register a direct final rule; request for comments which

modified the Class D and Class E airspace at Joplin Regional Airport,

MO (FR Document 98-3964, 63 FR 8093, Airspace Docket No. 98-ACE-4). An

error was subsequently discovered in the Airport Reference Point for

Class D and Class E airspace designations. After careful review of all

available information related to the subject presented above, the FAA

has determined that air safety and the public interest required

adoption of the rule. The FAA has determined that this correction will

not change the meaning of the action nor add any additional burden on

the public beyond that already published. This action corrects the

error and confirms the effective date of the direct final rule.

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 June 18, 1998. No adverse comments were received,

and thus this notice confirms that this direct final rule will become

effective on that date.
