2009–22–06 International Aero Engines
AG: Amendment 39–16057. Docket No.
FAA–2009–0294; Directorate Identifier
2009–NE–08–AD.
Effective Date
(a) This airworthiness directive (AD)
becomes effective November 30, 2009.
Affected ADs
(b) None.
Applicability
(c) This AD applies to International Aero
Engines AG (IAE) V2500–A1, V2527E–A5,

These engines are installed on, but not
limited to, Airbus A320 and A321 series, and
McDonnell Douglas Corporation MD–90
airplanes.
Unsafe Condition
(d) This AD results from IAE updating the
low-cycle-fatigue (LCF) life analysis for
certain high-pressure compressor (HPC) stage
9–12 disc assemblies. We are issuing this AD
to prevent an uncontained failure of the HPC
stage 9–12 disc assembly, resulting in an inflight engine shutdown and possible damage
to the airplane.

Amendment of Federal Airways V–163
and V–358 in the Lampasas, TX, Area
AGENCY: Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: This action amends the legal
descriptions of two Federal airways that
have ‘‘Lampasas, TX, very high
frequency omnidirectional range/
tactical air navigation (VORTAC)’’
included as part of their route structure.
Currently, the Lampasas VORTAC and
the Lampasas Airport share the same
location name and identifier (LZZ). To
eliminate confusion and potential flight
safety issues, the ‘‘Lampasas VORTAC’’
(LZZ) will be renamed the ‘‘Gooch
Springs VORTAC’’ (AGJ). All airways
with Lampasas [VORTAC] included in
their legal descriptions will be
amended, concurrent with the effective
date of this final rule, to reflect the
name change.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by
amending the legal descriptions of two
Federal airways, V–163 and V–358, that
have Lampasas, TX, [VORTAC]
included as part of their route structure.
Currently, the Lampasas, TX, VORTAC
and the Lampasas Airport, Lampasas,
TX, share the same name and location
identifier (LZZ), but are not co-located.
To eliminate the possibility of
confusion, and a potential flight safety
issue, the Lampasas, TX, VORTAC will
be renamed the Gooch Springs, TX,
VORTAC (AGJ). All airways with
Lampasas, TX, [VORTAC] included in
their legal descriptions will be amended
to reflect the name change. The name
change of the VORTAC will coincide
with the effective date of this
rulemaking action.
Since this action merely involves
editorial changes in the legal
description of two Federal airways, and
does not involve a change in the
dimensions or operating requirements of
that airspace, notice and public
comment under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are
unnecessary.
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

Jkt 220001
Title 49 of the United States Code.
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.
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 the 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 revises the legal descriptions of
Federal airways in the vicinity of
Lampasas, TX.
Domestic VOR Federal airways are
published in paragraph 6010(a) of FAA
Order 7400.9T, signed August 27, 2009,
