14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 91-AWA-3]
RIN 2120-AE46
Alteration of the Denver Class B Airspace Area; Colorado
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule; delay of effective date.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On September 17, 1993, the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) published a final rule altering the Denver, CO, Class B airspace
area. On January 20, 1994, a correction to the final rule was published
to correct certain airport reference point and navigational aid
(NAVAID) coordinates for the new airport, and to reflect that the
Denver Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) has been
upgraded to a Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Distance
Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) facility. In view of the delay in the
opening date of the new Denver International Airport, this action
delays the rule's effective date until May 15, 1994.
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 8, 1994, the effective date of the final rules at
58 FR 48722, as postponed at 58 FR 60552 and corrected at 59 FR 2953 is
delayed until 0601 UTC, May 15, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 17, 1993, the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) published a final rule altering the Denver, CO,
Class B airspace area. Subsequently, on November 17, 1993, a delay of
effective date was published and on January 20, 1994, a correction to
the final rule was published to correct an error in the coordinates for
the airport reference point and the supporting NAVAID for the new
Denver International Airport, and to reflect that the Denver VOR has
been upgraded to a VOR/DME facility. The official opening of the Denver
International Airport has now been delayed until May 15, 1994.
Accordingly, the effective date of the alteration and correction of the
related Class B airspace area should be postponed to coincide with the
opening of the new airport.
Because the public needs to be made aware of this postponement
immediately, notice and public procedure are impracticable and good
cause exists for making the postponement effective in less than 30
days.
In consideration of the foregoing, effective March 8, 1994, the
effective date of the final rule altering the Denver, Co, Class B
airspace area (58 FR 48722; September 17, 1993), as delayed by a final
rule at 58 FR 60552, November 17, 1993, and the effective date of the
final rule correction (59 FR 2953; January 20, 1994) are delayed from
March 9, 1994, to 0601 UTC, May 15, 1994.
Issued in Washington, DC, on March 3, 1994.

Acting Manager, Airspace-Rules and Aeronautical Information Division.
