SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA published the direct final rule with 
a request for comments in the Federal Register on March 23, 1998 (63 FR 
13779). 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 comment period ended May 4, 1998. 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 June 18, 1998. No adverse 
comments were received, and thus this document confirms that the final 
rule will become effective on that date.

    Issued in Seattle, Washington, on May 28, 1998.
