Modification of Class E Airspace; Staunton, VA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule, confirmation of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: This action confirms the effective date of a direct final rule 
published in the Federal Register (73 FR 16751) that modifies the 
effective time of the Class E Airspace at Staunton, VA. The Shenandoah 
Valley Regional Airport Commission has requested to change their 
current Class E2 Airspace from part time (currently 1200 to 0400 Zulu) 
to full time. This action enhances the safety and management of 
Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations in the area by providing the 
required controlled airspace to support terminal operations 
continuously at Staunton, VA.

DATES: 0901 UTC, Effective June 5, 2008. The Director of the Federal 
Register approves this incorporation by reference action under title 1, 
Code of Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to the annual revision of 
FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Confirmation of Effective Date

    The FAA published this direct final rule with a request for 
comments in the Federal Register on March 31, 2008 (73 FR 16751), 
Docket No. FAA 2008-0170; Airspace Docket No. 08-AEA-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 
June 5, 2008. No adverse comments were received, and thus this notice 
confirms that effective date.

    Issued in College Park, Georgia, on July 16, 2008.
