Proposed Modification of Class D Airspace; Luke Air Force Base, AZ, 70909-70911 [06-9563]
Download as PDF
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 235 / Thursday, December 7, 2006 / Proposed Rules
general, agree with their substance. But
we might have found it necessary to use
different words from those in the MCAI
to ensure the AD is clear for U.S.
operators and is enforceable. In making
these changes, we do not intend to differ
substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related
service information.
We might also have proposed
different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA
policies. Any such differences are
described in a separate paragraph of the
proposed AD. These requirements, if
ultimately adopted, will take
precedence over the actions copied from
the MCAI.
sroberts on PROD1PC70 with PROPOSALS
Costs of Compliance
Based on the service information, we
estimate that this proposed AD would
affect about 55 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it would take
about 12 work-hours per product to
comply with the proposed AD. The
average labor rate is $80 per work-hour.
Required parts would cost about $8,600
per product. Where the service
information lists required parts costs
that are covered under warranty, we
have assumed that there will be no
charge for these costs. As we do not
control warranty coverage for affected
parties, some parties may incur costs
higher than estimated here. Based on
these figures, we estimate the cost of the
proposed AD on U.S. operators to be
$525,800, or $9,560 per product.
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 determined that this proposed AD
would not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:22 Dec 06, 2006
Jkt 211001
proposed AD would 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 this proposed regulation:
1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under Executive Order 12866;
2. Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the
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 proposed AD and placed it in the
AD docket.

The Proposal
The FAA is considering an
amendment to part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to
modify Class D airspace at Luke Air
Force Base (LUF), AZ. This action is
necessary at LUF to provide controlled
airspace for Category E aircraft
conducting circling maneuvers in
conjunction with published SIAPs.
Generally, Category E aircraft are very
large and/or high performance aircraft.
At LUF, these aircraft require additional
airspace when conducting circling
maneuvers due to high speed and high
performance. This proposal will raise
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
the ceiling of the existing Class D
airspace area from 3,600′ MSL to, but
not including, 4,000′ MSL. It will also
expand the lateral limit of the existing
Class D airspace area from 4.4 NM to 5.6
NM starting at the 170° bearing from the
airport and proceeding clockwise to the
046° bearing from the airport.
Class D airspace areas are published
in Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order
7400.9P, dated September 1, 2006, and
effective September 16, 2006, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class D airspace designation
listed in this document would be
published subsequently in the Order.
The FAA has determined that this
proposed regulation only involves an
established body of technical
regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to
keep the operationally current. 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, will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.

routine amendments are necessary to keep the operationally current. 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, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
