Amendment to Class D and Class E Airspace; Topeka, Philip Billard

Municipal Airport, KS; 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 Topeka, Philip Billard

Municipal Airport, KS, and corrects two errors in the airspace

designation as published in the direct final rule.

DATES: The direct final rule published at 63 FR 4378 is effective on

0901 UTC, April 23, 1998.

This correction is effective on April 23, 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 January 29, 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 Topeka, Philip Billard

Municipal Airport, KS (FR Doc. 98-2217, 63 FR 4378, Airspace Docket No.

97-ACE-36). Two errors were subsequently discovered in the Class E

airspace designation. 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 these corrections will not change the meaning of

the action nor add any additional burden on the public beyond that

already published. This action corrects those errors 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 advises 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 April 23, 1998. No adverse comments were received,

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

effective on that date.
