Amendment 39–14888. Docket No.
FAA–2007–26855; Directorate Identifier
2006–NM–264–AD.
Effective Date
(a) This airworthiness directive (AD)
becomes effective February 2, 2007.
Affected ADs
(b) None.
Applicability
(c) This AD applies to Dassault Model
Falcon 2000EX airplanes; s/n (serial number)
06, s/n 28 through 90, s/n 93, and s/n 95;
certificated in any category.
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with RULES
Reason
(d) The MCAI states that troubleshooting of
a ‘‘ENG 1 FIRE DETECT FAIL’’ CAS (crew
alerting system) message that occurred on an
in-service aircraft revealed that the detector
threshold tolerances could not identify a
single failure of one engine fire detector loop
out of the two present on each engine. The
fire detection system is therefore not
correctly monitored, and its integrity is not
guaranteed at all times. The goal of the MCAI
is to verify the fire detection system integrity
by mandating a one-time inspection and, in
case of findings, to replace the faulty detector
pending further modification of the
monitoring system. The MCAI will be
revised/superseded once the terminating
corrective action for the monitoring function
has been approved.
Actions and Compliance
(e) Unless already done, do the following
actions. Within 35 days after the effective
date of this AD, perform an engine fire
detection integrity check as required by
paragraphs (e)(1), (e)(2), and (e)(3) of this AD
in accordance with Dassault Service Bulletin
F2000EX–137, Revision 1, dated December 7,
2006.
(1) First, in the baggage compartment, on
each mobile connector of the monitoring
units (L320WG) and (R320WG), the
equivalent resistance of the two engine
detectors at the LH (left-hand) and the RH
(right-hand) sides must be verified.
According to findings, the corresponding
system is either considered correct or
incorrect.
(2) As a second step, if either one or both
the LH and the RH system is (are) found to
be incorrect, it is required to check the actual
resistance of both detectors of the incorrect
system(s) on the affected engine(s).
(3) Any faulty detector must be replaced
prior to further flight.

(AAF), AK. The United States Army has
decided to staff the Allen AAF air traffic
control tower (ATCT) part time. The
Class D and E airspace is being revised
in order to align Class D airspace
effective times to match ATCT hours of
operation. The current title of the
airspace described in FAA Order
7400.9P is also changing to reflect
current guidance in FAA Order 7400.2E.
This rule results in the revision of Class
D and E airspace at Allen AAF, Delta
Junction, AK.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
History
On Tuesday, October 31, 2006, the
FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR
part 71) to revise Class D and E airspace
at Allen AAF, AK (71 FR 63725). The
action was proposed in order to align
the Class D and E airspace with Allen
AAF tower’s operating hours. The Army
does not need to operate the control
tower 24 hours per day. Class D airspace
is only in effect when a tower is open.
When the tower is not open, the
airspace reverts to Class E. Additionally,
the title of each airspace description in
FAA Order 7400.9P associated with
Allen AAF is being updated. In this
case, the town of Delta Junction (which
is closer to Allen AAF) is now

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 11 / Thursday, January 18, 2007 / Rules and Regulations
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with RULES
referenced instead of Big Delta. The
airspace changes meet the instrument
procedure and tower operational hour
needs at Allen AAF, AK.
Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written
comments on the proposal to the FAA.
No public comments have been
received; thus the rule is adopted as
proposed.
The area will be depicted on
aeronautical charts for pilot reference.
The coordinates for this airspace docket
are based on North American Datum 83.
The airspace area designated as Class D
is published in paragraph 5000 of FAA
order 7400.9P, Airspace Designations
and Reporting Points, dated September
1, 2006 and effective September 15,
2006 which is incorporated by reference
in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
areas designated as surface areas are
published in paragraph 6002 and 6004
of FAA Order 7400.9P, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
dated September 1, 2006, and effective
September 15, 2006, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class E airspace areas
designated as 700/1200 foot transition
areas are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.9P, Airspace
Designations and reporting points,
dated September 1, 2006 and effective
September 15, 2006 which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class D and Class E airspace
designations listed in this document
will be revised subsequently in the
Order.
The Rule
This amendment to 14 CFR part 71
revises Class D and E airspace at Allen
AAF, Alaska. This Class D and E
airspace is revised to accommodate new
tower operating hours, and will be
depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot
reference. The intended effect of this
rule is to provide adequate controlled
airspace for IFR operations at Allen
AAF, Delta Junction, Alaska.
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. 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
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
is certified that this rule will not have
a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
The FAA’s authority to issue rules
regarding aviation safety is found in
Title 49 of the United States Code.
Subtitle 1, 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 1, section 40103,
Sovereignty and use of airspace. Under
that section, the FAA is charged with
prescribing regulations to ensure the
safe and efficient use of the navigable
airspace. This regulation is within the
scope of that authority because it creates
Class D and E airspace sufficient in size
to contain aircraft executing instrument
procedures for Allen AAF and
represents the FAA’s continuing effort
to safely and efficiently use the
navigable airspace.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
amendment to 14 CFR 71 modifies the
Class E airspace area extending upward
from 700 feet AGL (ES) at Phillipsburg
Municipal Airport, KS. The radius of
the Class E Airspace area extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
of the earth is expanded from within a
6.5-mile radius to within a 7.6-mile
radius of the airport. This modification
brings the legal description of the
Phillipsburg Municipal Airport, KS
Class E5 airspace area into compliance
with FAA Orders 7400.2F and
8260.19C. Class E airspace areas
extending upward from 700 feet or more
above the surface of the earth are
published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.9P, Airspace Designations
and Reporting Points, dated September
1, 2006, and effective September 15,
2006, which is incorporated by
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designations listed in this
document would be published
subsequently in the Order.
The Direct Final Rule Procedure
The FAA anticipates that this
regulation will not result in adverse or
negative comment and, therefore, is
issuing it as a direct final rule. Previous
actions of this nature have not been
controversial and have not resulted in
adverse comments or objections. Unless
a written adverse or negative comment
or a written notice of intent to submit
an adverse or negative comment is
received within the comment period,
the regulation will become effective on
the date specified above. After the close
of the comment period, the FAA will
publish a document in the Federal
Register indicating that no adverse or
negative comments were received and
confirming the date on which the final
rule will become effective. If the FAA
does receive, within the comment
period, an adverse or negative comment,
or written notice of intent to submit
such a comment, a document
withdrawing the direct final rule will be
published in the Federal Register, and
a notice of proposed rulemaking may be
published with a new comment period.
Comments Invited
Interested parties are invited to
participate in this rulemaking by
submitting such written data, views, or
arguments, as they may desire.
Comments that provide the factual basis
supporting the views and suggestions
presented are particularly helpful in

developing reasoned regulatory
decisions on the proposal. Comments
are specifically invited on the overall
regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related
aspects of the proposal.
Communications should identify both
docket numbers and be submitted in
triplicate to the address listed above.
Comments wishing the FAA to
acknowledge receipt of their comments
on this notice must submit with those
comments a self-addressed, stamped
postcard on which the following
statement is made: ‘‘Comments to
Docket No. FAA–2006–25943/Airspace
Docket No. 06–ACE–13’’. The postcard
will be date/time stamped and returned
to the commenter.
Agency Findings
The regulations adopted herein 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. Therefore, it is
determined that this final rule does not
have federalism implications under
Executive Order 13132.
The FAA has determined that this
regulation is noncontroversial and
unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. For the reasons discussed in
the preamble, I certify that 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) if
promulgated, 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.
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 the airspace necessary
to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation
is within the scope of that authority
since it contains aircraft executing
instrument approach procedures to
Phillipsburg Municipal Airport, KS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Tuesday, October 31, 2006, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of
the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revise Class D and
E airspace at Allen AAF, AK (71 FR 63725). The action was proposed in
order to align the Class D and E airspace with Allen AAF tower's
operating hours. The Army does not need to operate the control tower 24
hours per day. Class D airspace is only in effect when a tower is open.
When the tower is not open, the airspace reverts to Class E.
Additionally, the title of each airspace description in FAA Order
7400.9P associated with Allen AAF is being updated. In this case, the
town of Delta Junction (which is closer to Allen AAF) is now
[[Page 2180]]
referenced instead of Big Delta. The airspace changes meet the
instrument procedure and tower operational hour needs at Allen AAF, AK.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA.
No public comments have been received; thus the rule is adopted as
proposed.
The area will be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot
reference. The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North
American Datum 83. The airspace area designated as Class D is published
in paragraph 5000 of FAA order 7400.9P, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated September 1, 2006 and effective September 15,
2006 which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace areas designated as surface areas are published in paragraph
6002 and 6004 of FAA Order 7400.9P, Airspace Designations and Reporting
Points, dated September 1, 2006, and effective September 15, 2006,
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
areas designated as 700/1200 foot transition areas are published in
paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9P, Airspace Designations and
reporting points, dated September 1, 2006 and effective September 15,
2006 which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and
Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be revised
subsequently in the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 revises Class D and E airspace at
Allen AAF, Alaska. This Class D and E airspace is revised to
accommodate new tower operating hours, and will be depicted on
aeronautical charts for pilot reference. The intended effect of this
rule is to provide adequate controlled airspace for IFR operations at
Allen AAF, Delta Junction, Alaska.
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.
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 will not have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle 1, 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 1, section 40103, Sovereignty and use of
airspace. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing
regulations to ensure the safe and efficient use of the navigable
airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority because
it creates Class D and E airspace sufficient in size to contain
aircraft executing instrument procedures for Allen AAF and represents
the FAA's continuing effort to safely and efficiently use the navigable
airspace.
