The current Post Certification Life Statement for the low pressure (LP) compressor (fan) disc assembly revises the Declared Safe Cyclic Life (DSCL) from 33,000 flight cycles to 25,000 flight cycles for both the BR715 LP (fan) disc assembly P/N BRH10048 and BR715 LP compressor (fan) disc assembly P/N BRH19253, when installed in the BR700– 715A1–30 engine model and operated against the Hawaiian Flight Mission. This condition, if not corrected, could result in uncontained failure of the LP compressor (fan) disc assembly and damage to the airplane. Actions and Compliance (e) Within 25 flight cycles after the effective date of this AD, do the following actions, unless already done. (1) Amend the Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) of the Time Limits Manual SUBTASK 05–10–01–860–016, by revising the ‘‘GIVEN LIFE A1–30 RATING (FLIGHT CYCLES)’’ for both the LP compressor (fan) disc assembly P/N BRH10048 and LP compressor (fan) disc assembly P/N BRH19253 from 33,000 flight cycles to 25,000 flight cycles. (2) Check the lifing of both the LP compressor (fan) disc assembly P/N BRH10048 and LP compressor (fan) disc assembly P/N BRH19253 if the relevant compressor (fan) disc assembly is currently installed or was previously installed, in the BR700–715A1–30 engine model and operated under the Hawaiian Flight Mission. (3) Remove the relevant compressor (fan) disc assembly from service before further flight, if the consumed life has exceeded the maximum approved life specified in the ALS. Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOC) (f) The Manager, Engine Certification Office, FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19.

ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: This action establishes Class D airspace at Branson Airport, Branson, MO. The establishment of an air traffic control tower has made this action necessary for the safety of Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations at the airport. DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, May 7, 2009. The Director of the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History On November 20, 2008, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking to establish Class D airspace at Branson, MO (73 FR 70287, Docket No. FAA– 2008–1102). Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Class D airspace designations are published in paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 7400.9S signed October 3, 2008, and effective October 31, 2008, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in that Order. The Rule This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by establishing Class D airspace for IFR operations at Branson Airport, Branson, MO, where a new control tower has been installed. The Class D airspace will revert to a Class E surface area during those periods when the control tower is not operating. This area would be PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 7645 depicted on appropriate aeronautical charts. 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. Therefore, this regulation: (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 establishes controlled airspace at Branson Airport, Branson, MO.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On November 20, 2008, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking to establish Class D airspace at Branson, 
MO (73 FR 70287, Docket No. FAA-2008-1102). Interested parties were 
invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written 
comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Class D 
airspace designations are published in paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 
7400.9S signed October 3, 2008, and effective October 31, 2008, which 
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D airspace 
designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in 
that Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
Part 71 by establishing Class D airspace for IFR operations at Branson 
Airport, Branson, MO, where a new control tower has been installed. The 
Class D airspace will revert to a Class E surface area during those 
periods when the control tower is not operating. This area would be 
depicted on appropriate aeronautical charts.
    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. 
Therefore, this regulation: (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 establishes controlled airspace at Branson Airport, Branson, MO.
