Unsafe Condition
(d) This AD results from reports of
uncommanded engine shutdowns and
burned and damaged wire bundles associated
with the outboard landing lights and engine
fuel shutoff valves. This AD also results from
reports of damaged and missing grommets
and broken and damaged fairleads in the
electrical junction boxes of the main wheel
well. We are issuing this AD to prevent a hot
short between the outboard landing light and
fuel shutoff valve circuits, which could result
in an uncommanded engine shutdown. We
are also issuing this AD to prevent corrosion
of the electrical connectors of the wing rear
spars, which could result in short circuits
and consequent incorrect functioning of
airplane systems needed for safe flight and
landing.

the application procedure.
The Proposal
This action proposes to amend Title
14, Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR), Part 71 by establishing Class E2
and E5 airspace for IFR operations at
Branson Regional Airport, Branson, MO.
This area would be depicted on
appropriate aeronautical charts.
Class E airspace areas are published
in Paragraph 6002, and 6005,
respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9R,
dated August 15, 2007, and effective
September 15, 2007, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class E area designations
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 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. The FAA’s authority to
issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. 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 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 would
establish controlled airspace at Branson
Regional Airport, Branson, MO.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: On June 15, 2005, OSHA
published a proposed rule to revise the
general industry and construction
standards for electric power generation,
transmission, and distribution work and
for electrical protective equipment.
Public comments were received, a
hearing was held, and the final
posthearing briefs were due on July 14,
2006.
The proposed general industry and
construction standards for electric
power generation, transmission, and
distribution work included revised
minimum approach distance tables.
Those tables limit how close an
employee (or a conductive object he or
she is contacting) may get to an
energized circuit part. After the
rulemaking record on the proposal
closed, the technical committee
responsible for developing the tables in
the consensus standards on which the
proposal was based discovered what in
their view was an error in their
calculation of minimum approach
distances for certain voltages.
OSHA is reopening the record on this
proposal to obtain comments related to
the affected minimum approach
distances. The record will remain open
on this limited basis for 30 days.
DATES: Comments must be postmarked
no later than November 21, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June
15, 2005, OSHA issued a proposed rule
to revise the general industry and

The Agency solicited public comments
and held a public hearing on March 6
through 14, 2006. Administrative Law
Judge William Colwell set a deadline of
July 14, 2006, for the filing of written
comments, summations, position
statements, and briefs.
The proposed requirements for
electric power generation, transmission,
and distribution work for general
industry and construction would be
contained in 29 CFR 1910.269 and 29
CFR part 1926, subpart V (§§ 1926.950
through 1926.968), respectively.
Proposed § 1926.960(c)(1) would require
employees to maintain minimum
approach distances from exposed
energized parts. The minimum
approach distances are specified in
proposed Tables V–2 through V–6.
Existing § 1910.269(l)(2) and proposed
Tables R–6 through R–10 contain
equivalent requirements for general
industry.
OSHA developed the minimum
approach distance tables in the proposal
using the following principles (see 70
FR 34862):
• ANSI/IEEE 1 Standard 516–1987
was to be the electrical basis for
approach distances: Table 4 (Alternating
Current) and Table 5 (Direct Current) for
voltages above 72.5 kV. Lower voltages
were to be based on ANSI/IEEE
Standard 4. The application of ANSI/
IEEE Standard 516–1987 was inclusive
of the formula used by that standard to
derive electrical clearance distances.
• Altitude correction factors were to
be in accordance with ANSI/IEEE
Standard 516–1987, Table 1.
• The maximum design transient
overvoltage data to be used in the
development of the basic approach
distance tables were:
Æ 3.0 per unit for voltages of 362 kV and
less
Æ 2.4 per unit for 500 to 550 kV
Æ 2.0 per unit for 765 to 800 kV
• All phase-to-phase values were to
be calculated from the EPRI 2
Transmission Line Reference Book for
115 to 138 kV.
• An inadvertent movement factor
(ergonomic component) intended to
account for errors in judging the
approach distance was to be added to all
basic electrical approach distances
(electrical component) for all voltage
ranges. A distance of 0.31 meters (1 foot)
was to be added to all voltage ranges.
An additional 0.3 meters (1 foot) was to
be added to voltage ranges below 72.6
kV.

Institute. IEEE is the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers, Inc.
2 EPRI is the Electric Power Research Institute.

The Proposal
This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR), Part 71 by establishing Class E2 and E5 airspace for IFR
operations at Branson Regional Airport, Branson, MO. This area would be
depicted on appropriate aeronautical charts.
Class E airspace areas are published in Paragraph 6002, and 6005,
respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9R, dated August 15, 2007, and
effective September 15, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class E area designations 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 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. The FAA's authority to
issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the U.S.
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 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 would establish controlled
airspace at Branson Regional Airport, Branson, MO.
