The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding the following new AD: ■ 2009–25–08 Bell Helicopter Transport Canada: Amendment 39–16127. Docket No. FAA–2009–1123; Directorate Identifier 2009–SW–03–AD. Effective Date (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective on December 28, 2009. Other Affected ADs (b) None. Applicability (c) This AD applies to Model 407 helicopters, serial numbers (S/N) 53000 through 53408, and S/N 53421 through 53459, and Model 427 helicopters, S/N 56001 through 56046, certificated in any category. This AD does not apply to helicopters with hydraulic pump input shaft, part number (P/N) 407–340–107–101, and interconnect adapter, P/N 407–340–108–101, which is a direct replacement for hydraulic pump driveshaft assembly, P/N 406–040–072–105, and the subject of this AD. Reason (d) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) ADs state that some hydraulic pump driveshaft assemblies, P/N 406–040–072–105, may have been delivered with a missing internal plug or fastening rivet. This condition, if not corrected, could result in a loss of hydraulic pressure and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter. WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with RULES Actions and Compliance (e) During the next driveshaft lubrication, or within 50 hours time-in-service or 30 calendar days, whichever occurs first, unless already accomplished, do the following: (1) Perform a one-time inspection of the hydraulic pump driveshaft assembly, P/N 406–040–072–105, to determine if an internal plug and a fastening rivet are correctly installed. (2) If either the internal plug, P/N 406– 040–094–101, or the fastening rivet, P/N MS20613–3P10, is not installed, replace the hydraulic pump driveshaft assembly, P/N 406–040–072–105, with an airworthy hydraulic pump input shaft, P/N 407–340– 107–101, and interconnect adapter, P/N 407– 340–108–101. Differences Between This AD and the MCAI ADs (f) This AD differs from MCAI AD No. CF–2009–03, applicable to Model 407 helicopters, and MCAI AD No. CF–2009–04, applicable to Model 427 helicopters, both dated January 22, 2009, which require compliance with a part of the BHTC service information that specifies inspecting ‘‘spares stock’’, and also require attaching a ‘‘serviceable’’ tag to parts in inventory. This AD does not require either of those actions. Also, the compliance section of this AD refers to ‘‘50 hours time-in-service’’ instead of ‘‘50 hours air time,’’ which is used in both VerDate Nov<24>2008 15:09 Dec 10, 2009 Jkt 220001 of the MCAI ADs. Further, the MCAI ADs require performing actions in accordance with the BHTC alert service and technical bulletins or later revisions approved by the Chief, Continuing Airworthiness, Transport Canada. The BHTC alert service and technical bulletins describe additional inspections for wear that are not required by this AD; we have listed those bulletins in the ‘‘Related Information’’ section of this AD. Finally, the MCAI AD for the Model 427 helicopter applies to S/N 58001 and S/N 58002. Per U.S. Type Certificate R00001RC, neither of these helicopters is eligible for an FAA Airworthiness Certificate and thus, this AD does not apply to them.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History On Friday, October 23, 2009, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking to modify jet route J–20 (74 FR 54765). Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments were received. The Rule The FAA is amending Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to eliminate the segment of J–20 that extends between the Orlando VORTAC and the Virginia Key very high frequency omnidirectional range/ distance measuring equipment (VOR/ DME). The FAA has determined that this portion of J–20 is no longer required. Currently, J–20 parallels jet route J–53, between the Miami area and DEARY intersection (southeast of the Orlando VORTAC). At DREARY, J–20 makes a left turn to the Orlando VORTAC where it converges with J–53. This can cause a problem when aircraft are parallel on both J–20 and J–53. Jet route J–113 provides a suitable northbound replacement route for the J–20 segment. In addition, this change provides air traffic control with more time to get climbing aircraft to their requested altitudes, thereby enhancing system efficiency. Jet routes are published in paragraph 2004 of FAA Order 7400.9T dated August 27, 2009 and effective September 15, 2009, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.

Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of Transportation (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 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On Friday, October 23, 2009, the FAA published in the Federal 
Register a notice of proposed rulemaking to modify jet route J-20 (74 
FR 54765). Interested parties were invited to participate in this 
rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. No 
comments were received.

The Rule

    The FAA is amending Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 to eliminate the segment of J-20 that extends between the 
Orlando VORTAC and the Virginia Key very high frequency omnidirectional 
range/distance measuring equipment (VOR/DME). The FAA has determined 
that this portion of J-20 is no longer required. Currently, J-20 
parallels jet route J-53, between the Miami area and DEARY intersection 
(southeast of the Orlando VORTAC). At DREARY, J-20 makes a left turn to 
the Orlando VORTAC where it converges with J-53. This can cause a 
problem when aircraft are parallel on both J-20 and J-53. Jet route J-
113 provides a suitable northbound replacement route for the J-20 
segment. In addition, this change provides air traffic control with 
more time to get climbing aircraft to their requested altitudes, 
thereby enhancing system efficiency.
    Jet routes are published in paragraph 2004 of FAA Order 7400.9T 
dated August 27, 2009 and effective September 15, 2009, which is 
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The jet route listed in this 
document will be subsequently published in the Order.

[[Page 65687]]

    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 Department of Transportation (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 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 amends a portion of the en route structure to enhance the safe 
and efficient use of the NAS in Florida.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical 
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance 
with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and 
Procedures,'' paragraph 311a and 311b. This airspace action is not 
expected to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, 
and no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an 
environmental assessment.
