Download as PDF 9504 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 35 / Thursday, February 21, 2008 / Proposed Rules the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows: PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES 1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. § 39.13 [Amended] 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness directive (AD): Rolls-Royce plc: Docket No. FAA–2007– 0078; Directorate Identifier 2007–NE– 40–AD. Comments Due Date (a) We must receive comments by March 24, 2008. Affected ADs (b) None. Applicability (c) This AD applies to Rolls-Royce plc (RR) models RB211–535E4 series, RB211–535E4– B series, RB211–535E4–C series, RB211– 535C series, RB211–524 series, and RB211– 22B series turbofan engines. These engines are installed on, but not limited to, Boeing 747, 757, and 767, Lockheed L–1011, and Tupulev Tu204 airplanes. Reason (d) European Aviation Safety Agency AD 2006–0180, dated June 26, 2006, AD 2006– 0181, dated June 26, 2006, and AD 2006– 0182, dated June 28, 2006, state: High pressure (HP) turbine discs recently inspected in accordance with the Engine Manual have exhibited cracks in the disc rim. The discs have failed to meet the inspection acceptance criteria and have been returned to Rolls-Royce for engineering investigation. This investigation has concluded that the cracks have resulted from scores within the cooling air holes in the disc rim that could have been introduced during new part manufacture or during overhaul of the disc. The engineering investigation has concluded that if this cracking was undetected then it could result in uncontained disc failure and a potential unsafe condition for the aircraft. We are issuing this AD to prevent uncontained disc failure, possibly resulting in damage to the airplane. ebenthall on PRODPC61 with PROPOSALS Actions and Compliance (e) Unless already done, perform an initial eddy current inspection (ECI) of the HP turbine disc air cooling holes. Information on ECI of HP turbine disc cooling holes can be found in RR Engine Overhaul Process Manual No. TSD594–J, Overhaul Process 223, dated May 1, 2001.

The Proposal The FAA is considering an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to modify Class E airspace at Waynesburg, PA. A new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Position System (GPS) Runway (RWY) 09 Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) has been developed at the Green County Airport. Controlled airspace, known as Class E5 airspace, extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the Earth, is required for instrument flight rule operations and to encompass all SIAPs to the extent possible. Although Class E airspace exists at the airport, it is of insufficient size and needs to be increased from a 6-mile radius to an 8.3mile radius to incorporate the SIAP. Class E airspace designations for airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the Earth are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9R, signed August 15, 2007, and effective September 15, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E 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 PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 9505 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 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’s authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in the Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. 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 airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority as it modifies Class E Airspace at Waynesburg, PA. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71 Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air). The Proposed Amendment In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation Administration proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as follows: PART 71—DESIGNATION OF CLASS A, CLASS B, CLASS C, CLASS D, AND CLASS E AIRSPACE AREAS; AIRWAYS; ROUTES; AND REPORTING POINTS 1.

ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Maine. This revision limits open burning of construction and demolition debris to on-site burning for the disposal of wood wastes and painted and unpainted wood, and adds restrictions to open burning conducted for training, research and recreational purposes. The revised rule also defines which openburning recreational activities do not require a permit, such as residential use of outdoor grills and fireplaces, and recreational campfires while the ground is covered in snow. The revised rule eliminates provisions that allowed permits to be issued for open burning of rubbish where no rubbish collection is available or ‘‘reasonably located’’ and where ‘‘there is no other suitable method for disposal.’’ In addition, the revised rule includes a reference to reasonable precautions required by Maine statute 38 MRSA section 1296 to prevent the introduction of lead into the environment from lead-based paint. This action will have a beneficial effect on air quality in Maine by reducing emissions of particulate matter, air toxics, and other pollutants, especially from the burning of lead-painted wood, plastics, metals, and other non-wood materials.

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal 
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to modify Class E airspace at Waynesburg, 
PA. A new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Position System (GPS) Runway 
(RWY) 09 Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) has been 
developed at the Green County Airport. Controlled airspace, known as 
Class E5 airspace, extending upward from 700 feet or more above the 
surface of the Earth, is required for instrument flight rule operations 
and to encompass all SIAPs to the extent possible. Although Class E 
airspace exists at the airport, it is of insufficient size and needs to 
be increased from a 6-mile radius to an 8.3-mile radius to incorporate 
the SIAP. Class E airspace designations for airspace areas extending 
upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the Earth are 
published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9R, signed August 15, 
2007, and effective September 15, 2007, which is incorporated by 
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E 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 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 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's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is 
found in the Title 49 of the United States Code. 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.
    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 
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient 
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority 
as it modifies Class E Airspace at Waynesburg, PA.
