Proposed Modification of the Dallas/Fort Worth, TX Class B Airspace Area; Public Meetings, 50258-50259 [E8-19275]

Download as PDF 50258 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 166 / Tuesday, August 26, 2008 / Proposed Rules The inspection indicated the blind rivets used to attach the panel worked loose causing fatigue damage with crack propagation through the fastener line resulting in panel detachment. To avoid potential injuries to persons on ground, Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2006– 0107 [which corresponds with FAA AD 2007–08–05] mandated a one time detailed visual inspection of the shroud box bottom panel. Further to issuance of AD 2006–0107, three additional events of panel loss have been experienced on in service aircraft already inspected in accordance with the AD requirements and no findings. Thus, it has been decided to delete this one time detailed visual inspection and to mandate a modification which prevents such unsafe condition. Therefore, the present AD supersedes EASA AD 2006–0107 and mandates the installation of a bolted shroud box bottom panel instead of blind riveted metallic design. The modification includes doing all applicable related investigative and corrective actions. The related investigative action is an inspection to detect cracks of the shroud box hole. The corrective action is repairing any cracked shroud box hole. New Requirements of This AD: Actions and Compliance (f) Unless already done: Within 69 months after the effective date of this AD, modify the shroud box bottom skin panel on both wings, and do all applicable related investigative and corrective actions, by accomplishing all the actions in the applicable service bulletins identified in Table 2 of this AD. Do all applicable related investigative and corrective actions before further flight.

DATES: Comments on this notice must be received by October 31, 2008. ADDRESSES: Submit all electronic comments via the Federal eRulemaking Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. Comments can also be mailed to David Bizot, Attn: 304(d) ANPR, NOIA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, 1305 East-West Hwy (N/ORM6), SSMC4 #11500, Silver Spring, MD 20910. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Bizot, ONNS Permit and Consultations Coordinator, 301–713– 7268. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Consultation Under Section 304(d) of the National Marine Sanctuaries Act The National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NNSA) authorizes the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) to designate and manage areas of the marine environment with special national significance due to their conservation, recreational, ecological, historical, scientific, cultural, archeological, educational, or esthetic qualities as national marine sanctuaries. The Secretary has delegated to NOAA and the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONNS) the authority to implement the NNSA and provide comprehensive management of the National Marine Sanctuary System for its primary purpose of marine resource protection. The ONMS implements the NNSA through regulations, permitting, enforcement, research, monitoring, education and outreach. In the 1992 amendments to the NMSA, Congress added section 304(d), 16 U.S.C. 1434(d), which requires interagency consultation between NOAA and Federal agencies taking actions, including authorization of private activities, ‘‘likely to destroy, cause the loss of, or injure a sanctuary resource.’’ In addition, Federal agencies are required to consult on proposed actions that ‘‘may affect’’ the resources of Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary (SBNNS), Public Law 102– 587 § 2202(e). Section 304(d) outlines the basic process by which Federal agencies are to consult with NOAA on activities that trigger the need to consult. If a Federal agency finds that a proposed action is likely to destroy, cause the loss of, or injure sanctuary resources (or, for SBNNS, ‘‘may affect’’ sanctuary resources), the agency is required to submit a ‘‘written statement’’ to the ONMS describing the potential effects of the activity on sanctuary resources at the earliest practicable time, but in no PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 50259 case later than no later than 45 days before the final approval of the action, unless another schedule is agreed to. If the ONNS finds that the proposed action is likely to destroy, cause the loss of, or injure a sanctuary resource, it must, within 45 days of receipt of complete information on the proposed action from the Federal agency, develop and recommend ‘‘reasonable and prudent alternatives’’ for the Federal agency to implement to protect sanctuary resources. If the ONNS recommends alternatives to the proposed action, the Federal agency is required to consult with the ONNS regarding plans for incorporating these recommendations into the proposed action. If the Federal agency decides not to follow the ONNS recommendations, it must provide a written explanation for that decision to the ONNS. If the Federal agency takes an action other than an alternative recommended by the ONNS and the action results in the destruction of, loss of, or injury to a sanctuary resource, the head of the agency must promptly prevent and mitigate further damage and restore or replace the sanctuary resource in a manner approved by the ONNS. II. Proposed Development of Regulations ONNS staff work diligently with Federal agencies to assist them in achieving full compliance with the NNSA, and encourage Federal agencies to work proactively with the ONNS to identify actions that may require NNSA consultation and to complete consultation at the earliest practicable time. However, more detailed regulatory provisions addressing the consultation process and requirements (e.g., how section 304(d) relates to other statutory and regulatory requirements, how a consultation might be conducted for a class of actions, and what information must be provided in a sanctuary resource statement) may be helpful to Federal agencies to more efficiently and effectively conduct the required consultation. NOAA therefore provides this notice for purposes of evaluating whether the development of such regulations to further implement the NNSA section 304(d) consultation requirement would be useful to Federal agencies and the public. III. Action Requested From the Public To expand upon the basic statutory requirements for NMSA consultations, NOAA is considering addressing a number of elements pertaining to these consultations through regulation and seeks comments on the following: C:\FR\FM\26AUP1.SGM 26AUP1
