Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.

SUMMARY:

This document confirms the effective date of a direct final rule which establishes Class E airspace at Caruthersville, MO. The initial publication identified the airspace action as a modification of Class E airspace but, in fact, no Class E airspace area extending upward from 700 above the surface of the earth existed at Caruthersville, MO. The description of the established Class E airspace at Caruthersville, MO is unchanged from that of the initial publication.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

0901 UTC, October 3, 2002.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The FAA published this direct final rule with a request for comments in the Federal Register on April 18, 2002 (67 FR 19107). 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 October 3, 2002. No 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 August 5, 2002.

Paul J. Sheridan,

Acting Manager, Air Traffic Division, Central Region.
