[Airspace Docket No. 99-AGL-42]


Modification of Class E Airspace; Marquette, MI; Revocation of 
Class E Airspace; Sawyer, MI, and K.I. Sawyer, MI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: On December 3, 1999, the FAA published a final rule modifying 
Class E airspace at Marquette, MI, and revoking the Class E airspace at 
Sawyer, MI, and K.I. Sawyer, MI. An integral part of this airspace 
action is the decommissioning of the Marquette (MQT), MI, VHF 
Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) and 
commissioning of the new Gwinn (GWI), MI, VOR/DME. On February 2, 2000, 
the effective date of this final rule was delayed until further notice 
due to the delay in the commissioning, due to construction, of the new 
Gwinn VOR/DME. On May 2, 2000, the effective date of this final rule 
was established as August 10, 2000, concurrent with the commissioning 
of the GWI VOR/DME. Subsequent to May 2, 2000, the decision was made to 
change the name of the GWI VOR/DME to the Sawyer (SAW) VOR/DME. This 
action makes that name correction.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, August 10, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 3, 1999, the FAA published a 
final rule modifying Class E airspace at marquette, MI, and revoking 
the Class E airspace at Sawyer, MI, and K.I. Sawyer, MI (64 FR 67713). 
Due to a delay in construction, and subsequent commissioning, of the 
new Gwinn, MI, VOR/DME this airspace action could not be implemented on 
the original effective date. Accordingly, the effective date of the 
modification of the Class airspace at Marquette, MI, and the revocation 
of the Class E airspace at Sawyer, MI, and K.I. Sawyer, MI, was delayed 
until further notice (65 FR 4871).
    Subsequently, the new effective date of the final rule modifying 
Class E airspace at Marquette, MI, and revoking the Class E airspace at 
Sawyer, MI, and

[[Page 39792]]

K.I. Sawyer, MI was established as August 10, 2000 (65 FR 25440). After 
establishing this new effective date, a decision was made to change the 
name of the GWI VOR/DME to the SAW VOR/DME to more accurately reflect 
the location of the navigational aid. Accordingly, all references to 
the Gwinn (GI), MI, VOR/DME are changed to the Sawyer (SAW), MI, VOR/
DME in the final rule modifying Class E airspace at Marquette, MI, and 
revoking the Class E airspace at Sawyer, MI, and K.I. Sawyer, MI (64 FR 
67713).
