When using this test to show compliance with the HIRF requirements, no credit is given for signal attenuation due to installation. A preliminary hazard analysis must be performed by the applicant, for approval by the FAA, to identify either electrical or electronic systems that perform critical functions. The term ‘‘critical’’ means those functions whose failure would contribute to, or cause, a failure condition that would prevent the continued safe flight and landing of the airplane. The systems identified by the hazard analysis that perform critical functions are candidates for the application of HIRF requirements. A system may perform both critical and non-critical functions. Primary electronic flight display systems, and their associated components, perform critical functions such as attitude, altitude, and airspeed indication. The HIRF requirements apply only to critical functions. Compliance with HIRF requirements may be demonstrated by tests, analysis, models, similarity with existing systems, or any combination of these. Service experience alone is not acceptable since normal flight operations may not include an exposure to the HIRF environment. Reliance on a system with similar design features for redundancy as a means of protection against the effects of external HIRF is generally insufficient since all elements VerDate Aug<31>2005 13:51 Jan 12, 2006 Jkt 208001 Applicability As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to New Piper PA–44–180 model airplanes. Conclusion This action affects only certain novel or unusual design features on one model of airplane. It is not a rule of general applicability and affects only the applicant who applied to the FAA for approval of these features on the airplane. The substance of these special conditions has been subjected to the notice and comment period in several prior instances and has been derived without substantive change from those previously issued. It is unlikely that prior public comment would result in a significant change from the substance contained herein. For this reason, and because a delay would significantly affect the certification of the airplane, which is imminent, the FAA has determined that prior public notice and comment are unnecessary and impracticable, and good cause exists for adopting these special conditions upon issuance. The FAA is requesting comments to allow interested persons to submit views that may not have been submitted in response to the prior opportunities for comment described above.

ACTION: Final rule. hsrobinson on PROD1PC70 with RULES AGENCY: SUMMARY: This action establishes Restricted Area 2507E (R–2507E), Chocolate Mountains, CA, as part of a U.S Marine Corps (USMC) training initiative. The USMC requested the establishment of this airspace to support its Close Air Support Mission (CAS) within the Chocolate Mountains Range. The new restricted airspace will be used to conduct realistic aircrew training and to maintain the level of proficiency in modern tactics that is required for combat readiness. DATES: Effective Dates: 0901 UTC, April 13, 2006. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ken McElroy, Airspace and Rules, Office of System Operations Airspace and AIM, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., 13:51 Jan 12, 2006 Jkt 208001 History On October 1, 2004, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking to establish R–2507E Chocolate Mountains, CA (69 FR 58860). Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. One comment was received in support of the proposal, which also expressed concern about low level flights over the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge. It is the policy of the USMC to limit low level flight over National Wildlife Refuges to the maximum extent possible. With the exception of editorial changes, this amendment is the same as that proposed in the notice. The Rule BILLING CODE 4910–13–M VerDate Aug<31>2005 Washington, DC 20591; telephone: (202) 267–8783. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 73 by establishing R–2507E, Chocolate Mountains, CA, as part of a USMC training initiative. The USMC requested the establishment of this airspace to support its CAS within the Chocolate Mountains Range. The area, R–2507E, will be contiguous with the existing R– 2507S, extending from the surface to flight level (FL) 400 and will encompass a portion of the Abel North MOA. The proposed time of designation will be from 0700 to 2300 hours daily. Since the Chocolate Mountains Range complex is joint-use airspace, the restricted areas will only be scheduled when needed for training, and will be available for transit by non-participating aircraft when not in use. 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. Therefore, this proposed regulation: (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, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

The FAA conducted an independent review of the USMC Yuma Training Range Complex Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) January 1997, the Yuma Training Range Complex, Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) September 2001 for the purpose of establishment of R–2507E, and its subsequent charting. The FAA adopted the FEIS, the SEIS, and prepared a Record of Decision (ROD) dated December 2005. The ROD analyzed this modification of Special Use Airspace at the Yuma Training Range Complex. This final rule, which establishes a new restricted area, will not result in significant environmental impacts. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 73 Airspace, Prohibited Areas, Restricted Areas.

the FAA proposed to establish a Class E enroute domestic airspace west 
of San Luis Obispo, CA, to replace existing Class G uncontrolled 
airspace. The FAA has determined that the boundaries of this airspace 
will be revised and another direct final rule resubmitted for 
publication.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 14, 2005, a direct final rule 
was published in the Federal Register to establish a Class E enroute 
domestic airspace area west of San Luis Obispo to contain aircraft 
while in Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) conditions and under control of

2005, airspace was transferred from Los Angeles Air Route Traffic 
Control Center (ARTCC) to Santa Barbara TRACON. In order to provide

positive control of aircraft in this area, the airspace was to be 
designated as controlled airspace. Further review determined that a 
change in boundaries is required to provide the necessary air traffic 
control procedures for this airspace, therefore the FAA will withdraw 
the proposed action.
