Section 33.17 is revised to read as follows: ■ erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with RULES § 33.17 Fire Protection. (a) The design and construction of the engine and the materials used must minimize the probability of the occurrence and spread of fire during normal operation and failure conditions, and must minimize the effect of such a fire. In addition, the design and construction of turbine engines must minimize the probability of the occurrence of an internal fire that could result in structural failure or other hazardous effects. (b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, each external line, fitting, and other component, which contains or conveys flammable fluid during normal engine operation, must be fire resistant or fireproof, as determined by the Administrator. Components must be shielded or located to safeguard against the ignition of leaking flammable fluid. (c) A tank, which contains flammable fluids and any associated shut-off means and supports, which are part of and attached to the engine, must be fireproof either by construction or by protection unless damage by fire will not cause leakage or spillage of a hazardous quantity of flammable fluid. For a reciprocating engine having an integral oil sump of less than 23.7 liters capacity, the oil sump need not be VerDate Nov<24>2008 14:57 Jul 29, 2009 Jkt 217001 fireproof or enclosed by a fireproof shield.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History On February 12, 2009, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking to amend Class E airspace at Ironwood, MI, adding additional controlled airspace at Gogebic Iron County Airport, Ironwood, MI. (74 FR 7011, Docket No. FAA– 2009–0052). Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Subsequent to publication the National Aeronautical Charting Office notified the FAA that the extension defined by the Ironwood ILS was not needed. With the exception of editorial changes, and the changes described above, this rule is the same as that proposed in the NPRM.

The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in the order. The Rule This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by amending Class E airspace at Ironwood, MI, adding additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Gogebic Iron County Airport, Ironwood, MI, and removes reference to the Ironwood ILS in the airspace description. This action is necessary for the safety and management of IFR aircraft operations at the airport. 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 E:\FR\FM\30JYR1.SGM 30JYR1 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 145 / Thursday, July 30, 2009 / Rules and Regulations regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal.

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On February 12, 2009, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend Class E airspace at Ironwood, 
MI, adding additional controlled airspace at Gogebic Iron County 
Airport, Ironwood, MI. (74 FR 7011, Docket No. FAA-2009-0052). 
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No 
comments were received. Subsequent to publication the National 
Aeronautical Charting Office notified the FAA that the extension 
defined by the Ironwood ILS was not needed. With the exception of 
editorial changes, and the changes described above, this rule is the 
same as that proposed in the NPRM. Class E airspace designations are 
published in paragraph 6005 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 E airspace designations listed in 
this document will be published subsequently in the order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by amending Class E airspace at Ironwood, MI, adding additional 
controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at 
Gogebic Iron County Airport, Ironwood, MI, and removes reference to the 
Ironwood ILS in the airspace description. This action is necessary for 
the safety and management of IFR aircraft operations at the airport.
    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 adds additional controlled airspace at Gogebic Iron County 
Airport, Ironwood, MI.
