Airspace Branch, ACE–520C, Federal

Aviation Administration, 601 East 12th

Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64106;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA

published this direct final rule with a

request for comments in the Federal

Register on May 21, 1997 (62 FR 27688).

The FAA uses the direct final

rulemaking procedure for a noncontroversial 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

useless a written adverse comment, or a

written notice of intent to submit such

an adverse comment, was received

within the comment period, the

regulation would become effective on

September 11, 1997. No adverse

comments were received, and thus this

notice confirms that this final rule will

become effective on that date.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule; request for

comments.

SUMMARY: This action amends the Class

E airspace area at Aurora Memorial

Municipal Airport, Aurora, MO. The

Federal Aviation Administration has

developed a Standard Instrument

Approach Procedure (SIAP) based on

the Global Positioning System (GPS)

which has made this change necessary.

The intended effect of this rule is to

provide additional controlled airspace

for aircraft executing the SIAP at Aurora

Memorial Municipal Airport.

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC,

October 31, 1997.

Comment date: Comments must be

received on or before September 12,

1997.

ADDRESSES: Send comments regarding

the rule in triplicate to: Manager,

Airspace Branch, Air Traffic Division,

ACE–520, Federal Aviation

Administration, Docket Number 97–

in the Office of the Assistant Chief

Counsel for the Central Region at the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA

has developed Standard Instrument

Approach Procedures (SIAP) utilizing

the Global Positioning System (GPS) at

Aurora Memorial Municipal Airport,

Aurora, MO. The amendment to Class E

airspace at Aurora, MO will provide

additional controlled airspace to

segregate aircraft operating under Visual

Flight Rules (VFR) from aircraft

operating under Instrument Flight Rules

(IFR) procedures while arriving or

departing the airport. The area will be

depicted on appropriate aeronautical

charts thereby enabling pilots to either

circumnavigate the area, continue to

operate under VFR to and from the

airport, or otherwise comply with IFR

procedures. Class E airspace areas

extending from 700 feet or more above

the surface of the earth are published in

paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9D,

dated September 4, 1996, and effective

September 16, 1996, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The Class E airspace designation

listed in this document will be

published subsequently in the Order.

The Direct Final Rule Procedure

The FAA anticipates that this

regulation will not result in adverse or

negative comment and, therefore, is

issuing it as a direct final rule. Previous

actions of this nature have not been

controversial and have not resulted in

adverse comments or objections. The

amendment will enhance safety for all

flight operations by designating an area

where VFR pilots may anticipate the
