Proposed Modification of Class E Airspace; Fremont, MI, 18254-18255 [06-3425]

Download as PDF 18254 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 69 / Tuesday, April 11, 2006 / Proposed Rules the Federal Register on December 9, 2005 (70 FR 73173). The NPRM would have required an inspection to determine the serial number of the antiskid control unit (ACU) in the right electronics equipment rack, and replacement of the ACU with a new or serviceable ACU if necessary. The NPRM resulted from a report that an airplane temporarily lost normal braking function during landing rollout on a pre-delivery flight. The proposed actions were intended to prevent loss of normal braking function, which could result in a runway overrun that could cause injury to flightcrew or passengers or damage to the airplane. hsrobinson on PROD1PC70 with PROPOSALS Actions Since NPRM Was Issued Since we issued the NPRM, Gulfstream Aerospace has provided data that indicate the identified unsafe condition has been corrected on all airplanes that would have been affected by the NPRM, and on all ACUs in the affected range of serial numbers (S/Ns). Gulfstream Aerospace therefore requests that we withdraw the NPRM. We agree with the commenter. Request To Incorporate by Reference (IBR) the Service Information The Modification and Replacement Parts Association (MARPA) requests that we either publish the relevant service information with the AD, or IBR it with the NPRM. If we IBR rather than publish the relevant service information, then MARPA further requests that we identify the S/Ns of the defective ACUs in the AD. As justification, MARPA states that parts purveyors and maintenance facilities cannot identify the defective parts unless we specify them in the AD because they do not possess the proprietary service information referenced in the NPRM. For the same reason, MARPA states that those in the alternative parts industry (operating under 14 CFR 21.303) also cannot identify any parts manufacturer approval (PMA) parts equivalent to the defective ACUs. MARPA asserts that there are many ACUs in its PMA database that also may be affected by unsafe condition identified in the NPRM. MARPA also comments on our practice of IBR and referencing propriety service information. MARPA asserts that if we IBR proprietary service information with a public document, such as an AD, then that service information loses its protected status and becomes a public document. Also, MARPA claims that IBR requires we provide a copy of the relevant service information to the Director of the VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:25 Apr 10, 2006 Jkt 208001 Federal Register before the NPRM can be published. MARPA further states that: ‘‘Merely referencing a service document without incorporation thus becomes an ‘‘end run’’ around the publication requirement while still requiring possession of a proprietary document in order to comply with the law.’’ MARPA believes our practice of IBR is flawed legally where it is impossible to comply with the requirements of an AD without first obtaining the necessary propriety service information. Although we acknowledge MARPA’s comments, we do not agree with its request, since the identified unsafe condition has been corrected on all airplanes that would have been affected by the NPRM and on all ACUs in the affected range of S/Ns. Those affected parts are ACUs having part number 1159SCL501–1 and S/Ns 355 through 400 inclusive. The unsafe condition identified in the NPRM was caused by the installation of incorrect capacitors in the affected ACUs only. Since that NPRM addresses a quality control issue limited to a range of S/Ns, we find that the MARPA’s statements regarding PMA equivalent parts are not relevant to that particular NPRM. We have one correction regarding MARPA’s comments on our practice of IBR and referencing propriety service information; we are required to provide a copy of any relevant service information to the Director of the Federal Register for publication of a final rule, not an NPRM. We are currently reviewing our practice of referencing proprietary service information. Once we have thoroughly examined all aspects of this issue, and have made a final determination, we will consider whether our current practice needs to be revised. FAA’s Conclusions Upon further consideration, we have determined that the actions that would have been required by the NPRM have already been accomplished on all affected airplanes, and that the identified unsafe condition has been corrected on all affected ACUs. Accordingly, the NPRM is withdrawn. Withdrawal of the NPRM does not preclude the FAA from issuing another related action or commit the FAA to any course of action in the future. Regulatory Impact Since this action only withdraws an NPRM, it is neither a proposed nor a final rule and therefore is not covered under Executive Order 12866, the Regulatory Flexibility Act, or DOT PO 00000 Frm 00024 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979). List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety. The Withdrawal Accordingly, we withdraw the NPRM, Docket No. FAA–2005–23249, Directorate Identifier 2005–NM–219– AD, which was published in the Federal Register on December 9, 2005 (70 FR 73173).

The Proposal The FAA is considering an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to modify Class E airpspace at Fremont, MI, for Fremont Municipal Airport. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface of the earth is needed to contain aircraft executing instrument approach procedures. Class E airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet above the surface of the earth are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9N dated September 1, 2005, and effective September 16, 2005, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E designations listed in this document would be removed subsequently in the Order. The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves an establishment 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 proposed rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to modify 
Class E airpspace at Fremont, MI, for Fremont Municipal Airport. 
Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface of 
the earth is needed to contain aircraft executing instrument approach 
procedures. Class E airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface of the earth are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 
7400.9N dated September 1, 2005, and effective September 16, 2005, 
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E 
designations listed in this document would be removed subsequently in 
the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves 
an establishment 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 proposed rule will not 
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
