[Airspace Docket No. 97-AWA-4]
RIN 2120-AA66

 
Establishment of Class C Airspace and Revocation of Class D 
Airspace, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, TX; and Revocation of 
Robert Mueller Municipal Airport Class C Airspace; TX

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; delay of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: On February 11, 1999, the FAA published a final rule 
establishing a Class C airspace area and revoking the Class D airspace 
area for the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, TX. The rule also 
revoked the Class C airspace area for the Robert Mueller Municipal 
Airport, TX. In view of the delay in the opening date of the new 
Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, TX, this action delays the 
rule's effective date until May 23, 1999.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Effective April 30, 1999, the effective date of the 
Final Rule at 64 FR 6793 is delayed until 0601 UTC, May 23, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sheri Edgett Baron, Airspace and Rules 
Division, ATA-400, Office of Air Traffic Airspace Management, FAA, 800 
Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591; telephone: (202) 267-
8783.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 11, 1999, the FAA published a 
final rule establishing a Class C airspace area and revoking the Class 
D airspace area for Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, TX (64 FR 
6793). The rule also revoked the Class C airspace area for Robert 
Mueller Municipal Airport, TX. Due to construction delays, the official 
opening of the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport has been delayed 
until May 23, 1999. Accordingly, the effective date of the 
establishment and revocation of the related Class C and Class D 
airspace areas is postponed until the opening of the new airport.
    Because the public needs to be made aware of this postponement 
immediately, notice and public procedure are impracticable and good 
cause exists for making the postponement effective in less than 30 
days.
    In consideration of the foregoing, effective April 30, 1999, the 
effective date of the final rule establishing the Class C airspace area 
and revoking the Class D airspace area for Austin-Bergstrom 
International Airport; and revoking the Class C airspace area for 
Robert Mueller Municipal Airport (64 FR 6793; February 11, 1999) is 
delayed from May 2, 1999, to May 23, 1999.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on April 20, 1999.
Reginald C. Matthews,
Acting Program Director for Air Traffic Airspace Management.
