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

geographic coordinates of the Airport Reference Point (ARP) for Meade

Municipal Airport as published in the direct final rule.

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 October 9, 1998, the FAA published in the

Federal Register a direct final rule; request for comments which

revises the Class E airspace at Meade, KS (FR Document 98-27249, 63 FR

54350, Airspace Docket No. 98-ACE-43). An error was subsequently

discovered in the geographic coordinates for the Meade Municipal

Airport ARP. After careful review of all available information related

to the subject presented above, the FAA has determined that air safety

and the public interest require 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

[[Page 10]]

the geographic coordinates of the Meade Municipal Airport ARP 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 averse

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 January 28, 1999. No adverse comments were

received, and thus this notice confirms that this direct final rule

will become effective on that date.
