14 CFR Part 71


Proposed Modification of the Orlando Class B Airspace Area, FL; 
Public Meeting

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.

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

SUMMARY: This notice changes the dates of two fact-finding informal 
airspace meetings. The purpose of these meetings is to provide 
interested parties the opportunity to present views, recommendations, 
and comments on the planned modification to the Orlando Class B 
airspace area, and the Sanford, FL Class D airspace area.

DATES: The informal airspace meetings originally were scheduled for 
Wednesday, February 17; and Thursday, February 18, 1999. However, due 
to the high level of public interest in these meetings, the FAA finds 
that it is necessary to reschedule the meeting dates. The public 
meetings will take place on Wednesday, January 27, and Thursday, 
January 28, 1999, starting at 7:00 p.m.
    Comments must be received on or before February 26, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Meetings: On January 27, 1999, the meeting will be at the 
A.K. Shumaker Terminal Building, Suite 200 Conference Room, Orlando-
Sanford International Airport, Sanford, FL. On January 28, 1999, the 
meeting will be at Kissimmee Municipal Airport Terminal Building, 301 
N. Dyer Blvd., Kissimmee, FL.
    Comments: Send or deliver comments on the proposal in triplicate 
to: Manager, Air Traffic Division, ASO-500, Federal Aviation 
Administration, 1701 Columbia Ave., College Park, GA 30337.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Nancy Shelton, Air Traffic Division, ASO-500, FAA, Southern Regional 
Office, telephone (404) 305-5585.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA recognizes that it is providing less 
than the standard 60-days' notice of the meeting dates. The FAA will 
follow all special notification procedures, including sending notices 
of the meeting dates to all known licensed pilots, airport managers/
operators, and operators of parachute, sailplane, ultralight, and 
balloon clubs within a 100-mile radius of the Orlando-Sanford 
International Airport. In addition, the FAA will provide notice of the 
meeting dates to the local newspapers.

Meeting Procedures

    The following procedures will be used to facilitate the meeting:
    (a) The meetings will be informal in nature and will be conducted 
by a representative of the FAA Southern Region. Representatives from 
the FAA will present a formal briefing on the proposed changes to the 
Class B airspace area. Each participant will be given an opportunity to 
deliver comments or make a presentation at the meetings.
    (b) The meetings will be open to all persons on a space-available 
basis. There will be no admission fee or other charge to attend and 
participate.
    (c) Any person wishing to make a presentation to the FAA panel will 
be asked to sign in and estimate the amount of time needed for such 
presentation. This will permit the panel to allocate an appropriate 
amount of time for each presenter.
    (d) The meetings will not be adjourned until everyone on the list 
has had an opportunity to address the panel.
    (e) Position papers or other handout material relating to the 
substance of the meetings will be accepted. Participants wishing to 
submit handout material should present three copies to the presiding 
officer. There should be additional copies of each handout available 
for other attendees.
    (f) The meetings will not be formally recorded. However, a summary 
of the comments made at the meetings will be filed in the docket.
