Re-Designation of VOR Federal Airway V-431; Alaska, 38516-38517 [E6-10676]

Download as PDF 38516 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 130 / Friday, July 7, 2006 / Rules and Regulations Authority for This Rulemaking Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA’s authority to issue rules on aviation safety. 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. We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in subtitle VII, part A, subpart III, section 44701, ‘‘General requirements.’’ Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action. Regulatory Findings We have determined that this AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD: (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) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket. See the ADDRESSES section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety. Adoption of the Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows: cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with RULES I PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES 1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: I VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:33 Jul 06, 2006 Jkt 208001 Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. § 39.13 [Amended] 2. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) amends § 39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness directive (AD): I 2006–14–06 Airbus: Amendment 39–14677. Docket No. FAA–2006–24367; Directorate Identifier 2006–NM–041–AD. Effective Date (a) This AD becomes effective August 11, 2006. Affected ADs (b) None. Applicability (c) This AD applies to Airbus Model A300 F4–605R and F4–622R airplanes and Model A300 C4–605R Variant F airplanes, certificated in any category; on which Airbus Modification 08909 has been done in production; except airplanes on which Airbus Modification 12980 has been done in production. Unsafe Condition (d) This AD results from an analysis that revealed that airplanes equipped with Airbus Modification 08909 had a concentration of loads higher than expected in the fuselage zone (high stress) at the lavatory venturi installation in the nose section, which could be the origin of cracks that developed in the fuselage skin and propagated from the edge of the air vent hole. We are issuing this AD to prevent fatigue cracking of the fuselage skin, which could result in loss of the structural integrity of the fuselage and consequent rapid depressurization of the airplane. Compliance (e) You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done. Modification/Investigative Action (f) Before the accumulation of 16,900 total flight cycles since first flight of the airplane: Modify the fuselage zone at the lavatory venturi installation area between frame (FR) 12 and FR 12A on the left-hand side of the nose section and do the related investigative action by accomplishing all the actions specified in the Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Service Bulletin A300– 53–6151, Revision 01, dated April 21, 2006. Corrective Action (g) If any crack is found during the inspection required by this AD and Airbus Service Bulletin A300–53–6151, Revision 01, dated April 21, 2006, specifies to contact Airbus for crack repair: Before further flight, repair the crack using a method approved by either the Manager, International Branch, ANM–116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA; or the European Aviation Safety Agency (or its delegated agent). Acceptable for Compliance (h) Accomplishment of the actions required by paragraph (f) of this AD before PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 the effective date of this AD in accordance with Airbus Service Bulletin A300–53–6151, dated December 2, 2005, is acceptable for compliance with the requirements of paragraph (f) of this AD. Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs) (i)(1) The Manager, International Branch, ANM–116, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested in accordance with the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. (2) Before using any AMOC approved in accordance with § 39.19 on any airplane to which the AMOC applies, notify the appropriate principal inspector in the FAA Flight Standards Certificate Holding District Office. Related Information (j) French airworthiness directive F–2006– 030, dated February 1, 2006, also addresses the subject of this AD. Material Incorporated by Reference (k) You must use Airbus Service Bulletin A300–53–6151, Revision 01, dated April 21, 2006, to perform the actions that are required by this AD, unless the AD specifies otherwise. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of this document in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51.

Re-Designation of VOR Federal Airway V-431; Alaska

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

[[Page 38517]]

SUMMARY: This action amends VOR Federal Airway V-431, Alaska. 
Specifically, the FAA is re-designating V-431 as V-593 because the V-
431 designation is a duplicate number in the National Airspace System 
(NAS) and is causing problems with the Flight Data processors during 
route validation at the Anchorage Air Route Traffic Control Center.

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, September 28, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by re-designating V-431 as V-593 because the V-431 designation 
is duplicated in the NAS and causes problems with the Flight Data 
processors during route validation at Anchorage Air Route Traffic 
Control Center. The route number change will coincide with the 
effective date of this rulemaking action. Since this action merely 
involves editorial change in the route number of the legal description 
of a Federal Airway, and does not involve a change in the dimensions or 
operating requirements of that airway, notice and public procedure 
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.
    Alaskan VOR Federal Airways are published in paragraph 6010(b) of 
FAA Order 7400.9O dated September 1, 2006, and effective September 16, 
2006, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Federal 
Airways listed in this document will be published subsequently in the 
Order.
    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 regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory 
action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' 
under Department of Transportation (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, when promulgated, will not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of 
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
