SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Confirmation of Effective Date

The FAA published this direct final rule with a request for comments in the Federal Register on October 30 (72 FR 61291-61293). 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 interest to submit such an adverse comment, were received within the comment period, the regulation would become effective on December 20, 2007. No adverse comments were received, thus this notice confirms that effective date.

Correction to Final Rule

Additionally, a technical correction to the wording of the original airspace description is accomplished for clarification of the 700 foot Class E airspace. although the description and amendment was incorporated under 14 CFR 71.1 of the Federal Aviation Administration Order 7400.9R, the reference to paragraph 6005, which addresses Class E airspace “extending upwards from 700 or more above the surface of the Earth”, was inadvertently omitted. Therefore, the publication in the Federal Register Docket No. FAA 2007-0023, Airspace Docket No. 07-AEA-08, published October 10, 2007, (72 FR 61291-61293) paragraph 6005 is corrected to read as follows:

Paragraph 6005 Class E Airspace Areas Extending Upward from 700 feet or More Above the Surface of the Earth.
