Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: We are adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna)
Models 175 and 175A airplanes. This
AD requires you to check the airplane
logbook to determine if the original
engine mounting brackets have been
replaced. If the original engine
mounting brackets are still installed,
this AD requires you to repetitively
inspect those brackets for cracks and
replace any cracked engine mounting
bracket. After replacing all four original
engine mounting brackets, no further
action will be required by this AD. This
AD was prompted by a report that the
engine became detached from the
firewall during landing on one of the
affected airplanes. We are issuing this
AD to detect and correct cracks in the
engine mounting brackets, which could
result in failure of the engine mounting
bracket. This failure could lead to the
engine detaching from the firewall.
DATES: This AD becomes effective on
September 2, 2008.
On September 2, 2008, the Director of
the Federal Register approved the
incorporation by reference of certain
publications listed in this AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
On March 31, 2008, we issued a
proposal to amend part 39 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to
include an AD that would apply to
certain Cessna Models 175 and 175A
airplanes. This proposal was published
in the Federal Register as a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on April
8, 2008 (73 FR 19017). The NPRM
proposed to require you to check the
airplane logbook to determine if the
original engine mounting brackets have
been replaced. If the original engine
mounting brackets are still installed, the
NPRM proposed to require you to
repetitively inspect those brackets for
cracks and replace any cracked engine
mounting bracket. After replacing all
four original engine mounting brackets,
no further action would be required by
the NPRM.
Comments
We provided the public the
opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on
the proposal or on the determination of
the cost to the public.
Conclusion
We have carefully reviewed the
available data and determined that air
safety and the public interest require
adopting the AD as proposed except for
minor editorial corrections. We have
determined that these minor
corrections:
• Are consistent with the intent that
was proposed in the NPRM for
correcting the unsafe condition; and
• Do not add any additional burden
upon the public than was already
proposed in the NPRM.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 1,218
airplanes in the U.S. registry.
We estimate the following costs to do
the inspection:
Total cost per
airplane
Labor cost
7.5 work-hours × $80 per hour = $600 ........................
Not applicable ...............................................................
Total cost on
U.S. operators
$600
Parts cost
$730,800

We estimate the following costs to do
any necessary replacements:

Total cost per airplane
3 work-hours per bracket × $80 per hour =
$240 per bracket. 4 brackets per airplane ×
$240 per bracket = $960.
$200 per bracket. 4 × $200 = $800 for all 4
brackets.
$440 per bracket. $1,760 to replace all 4
brackets.

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 146 / Tuesday, July 29, 2008 / 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 AD.
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 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 summary of the costs
to comply with this AD (and other
information as included in the
Regulatory Evaluation) and placed it in
the AD Docket. You may get a copy of
this summary by sending a request to us
at the address listed under ADDRESSES.
Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA–2007–29240;
Directorate Identifier 2007–CE–076–
AD’’ in your request.
Accordingly, under the authority
delegated to me by the Administrator,
the Federal Aviation Administration
amends part 39 of the Federal Aviation
Regulations (14 CFR part 39) as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Thursday, May 29, 2008, the FAA
proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR
part 71) to establish Class E airspace
upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above
the surface at Venetie, AK (73 FR
30820). The action was proposed in
order to create Class E airspace
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
sufficient in size to contain aircraft
while executing instrument procedures
for the Venetie Airport. Class E
controlled airspace extending upward
from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the
surface in the Venetie Airport area is
established by this action.
Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written
comments on the proposal to the FAA.
No comments were received. 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 Class E airspace areas designated as
700/1,200 ft. transition areas are
published in paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.9R, Airspace Designations
and Reporting Points, signed August 15,
2007, and effective September 15, 2007,
which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designations listed in this document
will be published subsequently in the
Order.
The Rule
This amendment to 14 CFR part 71
establishes Class E airspace at the
Venetie Airport, Alaska. This Class E
airspace is established to accommodate
aircraft executing instrument
procedures, and will be depicted on
aeronautical charts for pilot reference.
The intended effect of this rule is to
provide adequate controlled airspace for
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations
at the Venetie Airport, Venetie, 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
On March 31, 2008, we issued a proposal to amend part 39 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to include an AD that
would apply to certain Cessna Models 175 and 175A airplanes. This
proposal was published in the Federal Register as a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) on April 8, 2008 (73 FR 19017). The NPRM proposed to
require you to check the airplane logbook to determine if the original
engine mounting brackets have been replaced. If the original engine
mounting brackets are still installed, the NPRM proposed to require you
to repetitively inspect those brackets for cracks and replace any
cracked engine mounting bracket. After replacing all four original
engine mounting brackets, no further action would be required by the
NPRM.
Comments
We provided the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the proposal or on the
determination of the cost to the public.
Conclusion
We have carefully reviewed the available data and determined that
air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed
except for minor editorial corrections. We have determined that these
minor corrections:
Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 1,218 airplanes in the U.S.
registry.
We estimate the following costs to do the inspection:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total cost per Total cost on
Labor cost Parts cost airplane U.S. operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.5 work-hours x $80 per hour = $600.......... Not applicable.................. $600 $730,800

We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total cost per
Labor cost Parts cost airplane
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 work-hours per bracket x $200 per bracket. 4 $440 per bracket.
$80 per hour = $240 per x $200 = $800 for $1,760 to replace
bracket. 4 brackets per all 4 brackets. all 4 brackets.

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 AD.
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 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 summary of the costs to comply with this AD (and
other information as included in the Regulatory Evaluation) and placed
it in the AD Docket. You may get a copy of this summary by sending a
request to us at the address listed under ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket
