SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

The FAA published a direct final rule with request for comments in the Federal Register February 15, 2008, (73 FR 8795), Docket No. FAA-2008-0003. Subsequent to publication, the FAA found that the geographic coordinates for the Heliport were incorrect, and the sentence referencing the Notice to Airmen and Airport/Facility Directory should not have been included in the airspace description of this action.

The FAA uses the direct final rule procedure for non-controversial rules 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 an adverse comment, was received within the comment period, the regulation would become effective on April 10, 2008. No adverse comments were received; thus, this notice confirms that the direct final rule will become effective on this date.

Correction

In the Federal Register dated February 15, 2008, in Federal Register Docket No. FAA-2008-0003, on page 8796, column 2, line 31, correct to read:

(Lat. 35°01′00″ N., long. 97°14′01″ W.

On page 8796, column 2, line 39, remove the following:

“This Class E5 airspace is effective during specific dates and times established in advance by Notice to Airmen. The effective date and time will thereafter be continuously published in the Airport/Facility Directory.”
