14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA 2006-26031, Airspace Docket No. 06-ANE-02]


Establishment of Class E Airspace; Bethel Regional Airport, ME

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

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

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

SUMMARY: This action confirms the effective date of a direct final rule 
that established the Class E airspace area at Bethel Regional Airport, 
Bethel ME (K0B1) to provide for adequate controlled airspace for those 
aircraft using the new Helicopter Area Navigation (RNAV), 317 
Instrument Approach procedure to the Airport. This action also corrects 
a transposition error and editorial omission that appeared in the 
airspace description contained in the final rule that was published on 
Thursday, October 26, 2006.

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, January 18, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark D. Ward, Manager, Systems Support 
Group, AJO-2E2, FAA Eastern Service Center, 1701 Columbia Ave., College 
Park, GA 30337; telephone (404) 305-5586; fax (404) 305-5099.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Confirmation of Effective Date

    The FAA published this direct final rule with a request for 
comments in the Federal Register on October 26, 2006 (71 FR 62554). 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 January 18, 2007. No adverse comments were received, and 
thus this notice confirms that this direct final rule will become 
effective on that date.

Correction to Final Rule

    In the description of the airspace contained in the direct final 
rule, the FAA transposed the airport name with the name of the city in 
the title line. In addition, the FAA has added the words ``point in 
space'' to the longitude and latitude coordinates associated with this 
airport. This action makes these editorial corrections, which do not 
change the airspace configuration. The FAA is republishing the entire 
airspace description.
