14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 98-AWP-22]
Establishment of Class E Airspace; Metropolitan Oakland
International Airport, California; Correction
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date and
correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document confirms the effective date of a direct final
rule which establishes a Class E airspace area consisting of airspace
extending upward from the surface designated as an extension to the
Class C surface area at Metropolitan Oakland International Airport,
California. This document also corrects the airspace legal description
that was published incorrectly in the direct final rule; request for
comments. Two airspace reference points, the Oakland VORTAC and the I-
OAK Localizer, have been incorporated into the legal description to
identify the airspace dimensions. This correction is editorial in
nature and does not affect the substance of the airspace action.
DATES: The direct final rule published in 63 FR 58629 is effective at
0901 UTC, January 28, 1999. The correction is also effective on January
28, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 2, 1998, the FAA published in
the Federal Register a direct final rule; request for comments which
established a Class E airspace area consisting of airspace extending
upward from the surface designated as an extension to the Class C
surface area at Metropolitan Oakland International Airport, California.
(FR Document 98-29299, 63 FR 58629, Airspace Docket No. 98-AWP-22). An
error was subsequently discovered in the publication of the docket. The
docket failed to cite two necessary geographic reference points in the
airspace legal description. The error was an inadvertent omission, and
the correction included in this document has no substantive effect on
the airspace action. After 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 the correction will not change the meaning of the
action, nor will it add any 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. The 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 January 28, 1999. No adverse comments were
received; therefore this document confirms that the direct final rule
will become effective on January 28, 1999.
