14 CFR Part 71
[Docket No. FAA-2006-24813; Airspace Docket No. 06-AAL-16]
Modification of Legal Description of Class D and E Airspace;
Fairbanks, Fort Wainwright Army Airfield, AK
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Army will soon be changing the name of Fort (Ft.)
Wainwright Army Airfield (AAF) to Ladd AAF. This action amends the
airport name accordingly for each of the Class D and Class E airspace
descriptions in FAA Order 7400.9N. This action also amends an altitude
omission which currently does not exist in the FAA Order 7400.9N. This
action also redefines the airspace description to account for recent
updates to the airfield coordinates.

DATES: This direct final rule is effective on 0901 UTC, November 23,
2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA published this direct final rule
with a request for comments in the Federal Register on Monday, July 17,
2006 (71 FR 40394). The FAA uses the direct final rulemaking procedure
for non-controversial actions where the FAA believes that there will be
no adverse public comment. The 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 November 23, 2006.
One comment was received via telephone, in which the person voiced
opposition to the name change. That opinion is not within the scope of
this action, in that it does not address any aeronautical effect. His
complaint is with the U.S. Army's decision to change the name. This
action essentially addresses the title of the airspace annoted in the
the FAA Order 7400.8. No other adverse comments were received. This
notice confirms that the rule will become effective on that date.
Issued in Anchorage, AK, on August 28, 2006.

Director, Alaska Flight Service Information Office.
