DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, February 14, 2008. The Director of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Confirmation of Effective Date

The FAA published this direct final rule with a request for comments in the Federal Register on December 13, 2007 (72 FR 70769- 70771). The title of the document used the word ``Establishment'' of

Class E Airspace. Although technically this action established additional controlled

Page 8595

airspace, because controlled airspace previously existed at Honesdale, the Title should have read, ``Amendment'' of Class E Airspace. The essence of the rule was not affected. 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

February 14, 2008. No adverse comments were received, and thus this notice confirms that effective date.

Issued in College Park, GA on January 30, 2008.

Acting Manager, System Support Group, Eastern Service Center.
