The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding the following new AD: BAE Systems (Operations) Limited: Docket No. FAA–2010–0434; Directorate Identifier 2009–NM–221–AD. Comments Due Date (a) We must receive comments by June 14, 2010. Affected ADs (b) None. Applicability (c) This AD applies to BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model BAe 146–100A and –200A series airplanes, certificated in any category, serial numbers as listed in British Aerospace 146 Modification Service Bulletin 27–73–00889A&B, Revision 4, dated June 15, 1990. wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with PROPOSALS_PART 1 Subject (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 27: Flight Controls. Reason (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) states: The operation of the airbrake lever in the ‘‘airbrakes out’’ to ‘‘lift spoiler’’ range has been the subject of two occurrence reports. The lift spoilers on the BAe 146 and Avro 146–RJ aeroplanes have been designed to deploy on landing to provide aerodynamic braking and to dump lift to ensure that the wheel brakes can provide the necessary speed reduction. A review of the changing operational profile of the aeroplane type concluded that its proven short field performance has increasingly been exploited in recent years by a number of operators worldwide. Frequently, these short field operations are conducted from airports that are located in mountainous terrain or in close proximity to bodies of water, leaving fewer margins for error, e.g. landing long or at (too) high speed. The effects of deceleration and landing inertia loads can cause uncommanded movement of the airbrake selector lever from the ‘‘lift spoiler’’ position to the ‘‘airbrakes out’’ position, causing the lift spoilers to retract during the landing roll. This condition, if not corrected, would increase the landing distance, possibly resulting in a runway overrun and consequent injury to aeroplane occupants. On certain BAe 146 aeroplanes, without modifications HCM00889A and B or modifications HCM00889A and C incorporated, negligible force is required to move the airbrake lever back to the ‘‘airbrakes out’’ position. From 1988 onwards, modifications were introduced on the production line to incorporate a modified friction baulking device such that a force of 12 lbs must be applied to move the airbrake lever from the ‘‘lift spoiler’’ position to the ‘‘airbrakes out’’ position. These modifications were also made available as an optional inservice retrofit. For the reasons described above, this AD requires the modification of the airbrake lever detent mechanism. VerDate Mar<15>2010 13:40 Apr 29, 2010 Jkt 220001 Compliance (f) You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done. Actions (g) Do the following actions. (1) Within 12 months after the effective date of this AD, modify the airbrake lever detent mechanism, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of British Aerospace 146 Modification Service Bulletin 27–73–00889A&B, Revision 4, dated June 15, 1990. (2) Modifying the airbrake lever detent mechanism is also acceptable for compliance with paragraph (g)(1) of this AD, if done before the effective date of this AD in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of British Aerospace 146 Modification Service Bulletin 27–73– 00889A&B, Revision 3, dated August 1, 1989. requirements and has assigned OMB Control Number 2120–0056. Related Information (i) Refer to MCAI EASA Airworthiness Directive 2009–0206, dated September 30, 2009; and British Aerospace 146 Modification Service Bulletin 27–73– 00889A&B, Revision 4, dated June 15, 1990; for related information.

An air traffic control tower established at the airport has made controlled airspace necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations. Class D airspace areas are published in Paragraph 5000 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 D airspace designation listed in this document would be published subsequently in the 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. It, therefore, (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.

The Proposal

    This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations 
(14 CFR), Part 71 by establishing Class D airspace at San Marcos 
Municipal Airport, San Marcos, TX. An air traffic control tower 
established at the airport has made controlled airspace necessary for 
the safety and management of IFR operations.
    Class D airspace areas are published in Paragraph 5000 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 D airspace 
designation listed in this document would be published subsequently in 
the 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. 
It, therefore, (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 would establish controlled airspace at San Marcos Municipal 
Airport, San Marcos, TX.
