Amendment to Class E Airspace; Meade, KS; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date and 
correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document confirms the effective date of a direct final 
rule which revises the Class E airspace at Meade, KS, and corrects the 
geographic coordinates of the Airport Reference Point (ARP) for Meade 
Municipal Airport as published in the direct final rule.

DATES: The direct final rule published at 63 FR 54350 is effective on 
0901 UTC, January 28, 1999.

    This correction is effective on January 28, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kathy Randolph, Air Traffic Division, Airspace Branch, ACE-520C, 
Federal Aviation Administration, 601 East 12th Street, Kansas City, 
Missouri 64106; telephone: (816) 426-3408.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 9, 1998, the FAA published in the 
Federal Register a direct final rule; request for comments which 
revises the Class E airspace at Meade, KS (FR Document 98-27249, 63 FR 
54350, Airspace Docket No. 98-ACE-43). An error was subsequently 
discovered in the geographic coordinates for the Meade Municipal 
Airport ARP. After careful review of all available information related 
to the subject presented above, the FAA has determined that air safety 
and the public interest require adoption of the rule. The FAA has 
determined that this correction will not change the meaning of the 
action nor add any additional burden on the public beyond that already 
published. This action corrects

the geographic coordinates of the Meade Municipal Airport ARP and 
confirms the effective date of the direct final rule.
    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 averse 
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 January 28, 1999. No adverse comments were 
received, and thus this notice confirms that this direct final rule 
will become effective on that date.
