SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The FAA published this direct final rule with a request for comments in Federal Register on September 24, 2001 (66 FR 48794). 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 December 27, 2001. Adverse comments were received, and thus this document confirms that this direct final rule will become effective on that date.

Issued in Kansas City, MO on December 18, 2001.

Manager, Air Traffic Division, Central Region.
