effective June 15, 2017.
(b) Affected ADs
None.

Jkt 241001
(d) Subject
Air Transport Association of America
(ATA) Code 61: Propellers/Propulsors.
(e) Reason
This AD was prompted by mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
issued by the aviation authority of another
country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI
describes the unsafe condition as certain
propeller front transmission gear wheels
having insufficient material strength because
of improper heat treatment during
manufacturing. We are issuing this AD to
prevent failure of the propeller front
transmission gear wheels. This failure could
cause loss of power between the engine and
the propeller, which could result in reduced
control.
(f) Actions and Compliance
Unless already done, do the following
actions.
(1) Before further flight after June 15, 2017
(the effective date of this AD), replace the
front gearbox following a method approved
specifically for this AD by the FAA, Small
Airplane Directorate. Contact the FAA using
the information in paragraph (g)(1) of this AD
to obtain FAA-approved repair instructions
approved specifically for compliance with
this AD and incorporate those instructions.
Note 2 to paragraph (f)(1) of this AD: At
the issue date of this AD, no design solution
is available to restore the airworthiness of the
respective type design to a level
corresponding to its approved type design
specifications.
(2) As of June 15, 2017 (the effective date
of this AD), do not install a front gear box
listed in paragraph (c) of this AD.
(g) Other FAA AD Provisions
The following provisions also apply to this
AD:
(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance
(AMOCs): The Manager, Standards Office,
FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs
for this AD, if requested using the procedures
found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send information to
ATTN: Jim Rutherford, Aerospace Engineer,
FAA, Small Airplane Directorate, 901 Locust,
Room 301, Kansas City, Missouri 64106;
telephone: (816) 329–4165; fax: (816) 329–
4090; email: jim.rutherford@faa.gov. Before
using any approved AMOC on any glider to
which the AMOC applies, notify your
appropriate principal inspector (PI) in the
FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO),
or lacking a PI, your local FSDO.
(2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement
in this AD to obtain corrective actions from
a manufacturer or other source, use these
actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective
actions are considered FAA-approved if they
are approved by the State of Design Authority
(or their delegated agent). You are required
to assure the product is airworthy before it
is returned to service.

Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This action amends the legal
description of Class D airspace
extending up to 2,500 feet above the
surface at Kingsville Naval Air Station
(NAS), Kingsville, TX. This action is
necessary due to the decommissioning
of the Kingsville radio beacon (RBN),
and cancellation of the RBN approach,
and enhances the safety and
management of instrument flight rules
(IFR) operations at the airport. This
action also updates the geographic
coordinates of Kingsville Naval Air
Station, Kingsville, TX, to coincide with
the FAA’s aeronautical database.
DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, September
14, 2017. 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority for This Rulemaking
The FAA’s authority to issue rules
regarding aviation safety is found in
Title 49 of the United States Code.
Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator.
Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the
agency’s authority. This rulemaking is
promulgated under the authority
described in Subtitle VII, Part A,
Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that
section, the FAA is charged with
prescribing regulations to assign the use
of airspace necessary to ensure the
safety of aircraft and the efficient use of
airspace. This regulation is within the
scope of that authority as it amends
controlled airspace at Kingsville NAS,
Kingsville, TX.

Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the
proposal to the FAA. No comments
were received.
Class D airspace designations are
published in paragraph 5000, of FAA
Order 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016,

within two miles each side of the 200
degree bearing from the Kingsville RBN
extending from the 4.3-mile radius to
4.9 miles south of the airport. This
action also updates the geographic
coordinates of the airport to be in
concert with the FAA’s aeronautical

Regulatory Notices and Analyses
*
*
The FAA has determined that this
regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which
frequent and routine amendments are
necessary to keep them operationally
current, is non-controversial and
unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a
‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a
‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44
FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3)
does not warrant preparation of a
regulatory evaluation as the anticipated
impact is so minimal. Since this is a
routine matter that will only affect air
traffic procedures and air navigation, it
is certified that this rule, when
promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

The FAA has determined that this
action qualifies for categorical exclusion
under the National Environmental
Policy Act in accordance with FAA
Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental
Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’
paragraph 5–6.5.a. This airspace action
is not expected to cause any potentially
significant environmental impacts, and
no extraordinary circumstances exist
that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.
