On June 18, 2001, the FAA published in the Federal Register a direct final rule; request for comments, which established a Class E enroute domestic airspace area beginning at 1,200 feet above ground level in the vicinity of Las Vegas, NV (FR Document 01-4680, 66 FR 32732, Airspace Docket No. 01-AWP-16). 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 6, 2001. No adverse comments were received; therefore this document confirms that this direct final rule will become effective 0901 UTC, on September 6, 2001.
