§ 39.13
[Amended]
2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding
the following new AD:
Bombardier, Inc.: Docket No. FAA–2010–
0432; Directorate Identifier 2010–NM–
001–AD.
Comments Due Date
(a) We must receive comments by June 10,
2010.
Affected ADs
(b) None.
Applicability
(c) This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc.
Model DHC–8–201, –202, –301, –311, and
–315 airplanes, certificated in any category,
having serial numbers 644 through 664
inclusive.
Subject
(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of
America Code 28: Fuel.
Reason
(e) The mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) states:
During a recent production fuel system
test, it was found that all three flapper valves
located in each collector tank did not
conform to the design requirements, due to
the fact that a valve spring was installed on
the flapper hinge pin. This valve spring
should have been removed prior to
installation of the valves.
It was subsequently determined that this
condition is restricted to the 21 aircraft listed
in the Applicability section above.
With the valve spring installed, the flapper
valve is held closed by the valve spring,
preventing gravity feed. In the event of
scavenge system failure, the collector tank
fuel level can no longer be maintained,
potentially leading to an in-flight engine
shutdown.
In order to ensure adequate fuel transfer to
the collector tank at all times, this directive
mandates a one-time [detailed] inspection of
each of the six flapper valves, removal of the
valve spring, if installed, and application of
an identification mark on each inspected
valve.

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 would
establish controlled airspace at Bryce
Canyon Airport, Bryce Canyon, UT.
The Supplemental Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) part 71 by establishing Class E
surface airspace at Bryce Canyon, UT, in
concert with Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface,
to accommodate aircraft using the new
RNAV (GPS) SIAPs at Bryce Canyon
Airport. This action would enhance the
safety and management of IFR
operations at the airport.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6002 and 6005,
respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9T,
signed August 27, 2009, and effective
September 15, 2009, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class E airspace designation
listed in this document will be
published subsequently in this 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.
Therefore, this proposed 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 proposed rule,
when promulgated, would 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 for
the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more
detail the scope of the agency’s
authority. This rulemaking is

I. Background on the Texas Program
Section 503(a) of the Act permits a
State to assume primacy for the
regulation of surface coal mining and
reclamation operations on non-Federal
and non-Indian lands within its borders
by demonstrating that its program
includes, among other things, ‘‘a State
law which provides for the regulation of
surface coal mining and reclamation
operations in accordance with the
requirements of this Act * * *; and
rules and regulations consistent with
regulations issued by the Secretary
pursuant to this Act.’’ See 30 U.S.C.
1253(a)(1) and (7). On the basis of these
criteria, the Secretary of the Interior
conditionally approved the Texas
program effective February 16, 1980.

actions concerning the Texas program
and program amendments at 30 CFR

II. Description of the Proposed
Amendment
By letter dated January 5, 2010
(Administrative Record No. TX–666),
Texas sent us an amendment to its
program under SMCRA (30 U.S.C. 1201
et seq.) at its own initiative. Below is a
summary of the changes proposed by
Texas. The full text of the program
amendment is available for you to read
at the locations listed above under
ADDRESSES.
Texas proposes to revise its regulation
at 16 Texas Administrative Code (TAC)
section 12.108(b) regarding annual
permit fees by:
(1) Decreasing the amount of the fee
for each acre of land within the permit
area on which coal or lignite was
actually removed during the calendar
year,
(2) Increasing the amount of the fee
for each acre of land within a permit
area covered by a reclamation bond on
December 31st of the year, and
(3) Increasing the amount of the fee
for each permit in effect on December
31st of the year.
Texas fully funds its 50% state share
of costs to regulate the coal mining
industry with fees paid by the coal
industry. Texas charges various fees to
meet these costs including permit
application fees, and annual fees for
lands in various stages of mining and
reclamation. The proposed fee revisions
are intended to provide incentives for
industry to accomplish reclamation and
achieve bond release as quickly as
possible. This would be achieved by
decreasing the fee per acre where coal
or lignite is removed, and increasing
both the fee for each acre under permit
and the fee for each permit which
remains active on December 31st of each
year. By making these changes,
companies are encouraged to make
every effort to achieve bond release
before the end of each year.
III. Public Comment Procedures
Under the provisions of 30 CFR
732.17(h), we are seeking your
comments on whether the amendment
satisfies the applicable program
approval criteria of 30 CFR 732.15. If we
approve the amendment, it will become
part of the State program.

The Supplemental Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by establishing Class E surface airspace
at Bryce Canyon, UT, in concert with Class E airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface, to accommodate aircraft using the new
RNAV (GPS) SIAPs at Bryce Canyon Airport. This action would enhance the
safety and management of IFR operations at the airport.
Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6002 and
6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9T, signed August 27, 2009, and
effective September 15, 2009, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in this document will
be published subsequently in this 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.
Therefore, this proposed 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 proposed rule, when
promulgated, would 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 for 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 would establish controlled airspace at Bryce Canyon Airport,
Bryce Canyon, UT.
