14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 99-AWP-8]
Correction of Class D Airspace; Bullhead City, AZ
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) DOT.
ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document confirms the effective date of a direct final
rule which corrects the Class D airspace area at Laughlin/Bullhead
International Airport, Bullhead City, AZ. On January 4, 1996, the Class
D airspace ceiling of Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport was
published and charted in error as 2,500 feet Above Ground Level (AGL).
FAA Order 7400.9G requires all altitudes to be published in feet above
Mean Sea Level (MSL). The corrected altitude of 3,200 feet MSL will not
change the boundaries or volume of Class D airspace area associated
with Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport but will only correct the
ceiling of existing Class D airspace area from an AGL height to reflect
the same altitude using MSL.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC September 9, 1999.

triplicate to: Federal Aviation Administration, Attn: Manager, Airspace

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 28, 1999, the FAA published in the
Federal Register a direct final rule; request for comments, which
corrected the Class D airspace at Bullhead City, AZ, by changing the
ceiling of the Class D from 2,500 feet above ground level to 3,200 feet
mean sea level. (FR Document 99-17173, 64 FR 40745, Airspace Docket No.
99-AWP-8). 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 September 9, 1999. No adverse comments were
received; therefore this document confirms that this direct final rule
will become effective on that date.
Issued in Los Angeles, California, on September 9, 1999.
John G. Clancy,
Manager, Air Traffic Division, Western-Pacific Region.
