Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace; Williston, ND, 34391-34393 [2010-14697]
Download as PDF
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 116 / Thursday, June 17, 2010 / Proposed Rules
• Removing from service the hub of
any propeller assembly, P/N
B5JFR36C1101/114GCA–0,
C5JFR36C1102/L114GCA–0,
B5JFR36C1103/114HCA–0, or
C5JFR36C1104/L114HCA–0, if the hub
has fewer than 6,000 hours TSN, not
later than 6,000 hours TSN.
The proposed AD would require that
you do these actions using the service
information described previously.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this proposed AD
would affect 30 propeller assemblies
installed on airplanes of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it would take
about 42 work-hours per propeller
assembly to perform the proposed
actions, and that the average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour. Required parts
would cost about $6,000 per propeller
assembly. Based on these figures, we
estimate the total cost of the proposed
AD to U.S. operators to be $287,100.

Authority for This Rulemaking
Title 49 of the United States Code
specifies the FAA’s authority to issue
rules on aviation safety. 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.
We are issuing this rulemaking under
the authority described in Subtitle VII,
Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701,
‘‘General requirements.’’ Under that
section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in
air commerce by prescribing regulations
for practices, methods, and procedures
the Administrator finds necessary for
safety in air commerce. This regulation
is within the scope of that authority
because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on
products identified in this rulemaking
action.
Regulatory Findings
We have determined that this
proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order
13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the
States, on the relationship between the
national Government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
For the reasons discussed above, I
certify that the proposed AD:
1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under Executive Order 12866;
2. Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and

The Proposed Amendment
Propeller Hub Reduced Life Limits
(f) For any propeller assembly, P/N
B5JFR36C1101/114GCA–0, C5JFR36C1102/
L114GCA–0, B5JFR36C1103/114HCA–0, or
C5JFR36C1104/L114HCA–0, with a hub that
exceeds 6,000 hours time-since-new (TSN)
on the effective date of this AD, remove the
propeller hub from service within 250 hours
time-in-service after the effective date of this
AD.
(g) For any propeller assembly, P/N
B5JFR36C1101/114GCA–0, C5JFR36C1102/
L114GCA–0, B5JFR36C1103/114HCA–0, or
C5JFR36C1104/L114HCA–0, with a hub with
fewer than 6,000 hours TSN, remove the
propeller hub from service not later than
6,000 hours TSN.
Under the authority delegated to me
by the Administrator, the Federal
Aviation Administration proposes to
amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:
Prohibition of Hubs Exceeding Life Limit
(h) After the effective date of this AD, don’t
install any hub removed from any propeller
assembly that was removed by paragraphs (f)
or (g) of this AD into any propeller assembly.
3. Would not have a significant
economic impact, positive or negative,
on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
We prepared a regulatory evaluation
of the estimated costs to comply with
this proposed AD. See the ADDRESSES
section for a location to examine the
regulatory evaluation.

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 add additional
controlled airspace at Sloulin Field
International Airport, Williston, ND.
The Proposal
The Proposed Amendment
This action proposes to amend Title
14, Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR) part 71 by adding additional Class
E airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface for SIAPs at
Sloulin Field International Airport,
Williston, ND. Adjustments to the
geographic coordinates would be made
in accordance with the FAA’s National
Aeronautical Charting Office. Controlled
airspace is needed for the safety and
management of IFR operations at the
airport.
Class E airspace areas are published
in Paragraph 6005 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 Class E 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
In consideration of the foregoing, the
Federal Aviation Administration
proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as

The Proposal
This action proposes to amend Title
14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by establishing Class E airspace
at Port Clarence, AK, to accommodate a
new instrument approach procedure at
the Port Clarence CGS Airport. This
Class E airspace would provide
adequate controlled airspace upward
from 700 feet and 1,200 feet above the
surface for the safety and management
of IFR operations at Port Clarence CGS
Airport. The 1,200-foot controlled
airspace would extend into the Norton
Sound Low Offshore Airspace Area and
that airspace will be redefined in a
future Offshore Airspace action.
The Class E airspace areas designated
as 700/1,200-foot transition areas are
published in paragraph 6005 in FAA
Order 7400.9T, Airspace Designations
and Reporting Points, signed August 27,

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 add additional controlled airspace at Sloulin Field
International Airport, Williston, ND.
