Amendment of Air Traffic Service (ATS) Routes in the Vicinity of Vero Beach, FL, 42425-42427 [2012-17399]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 139 / Thursday, July 19, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 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 AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will 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 this AD: (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), (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety. Adoption of the Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows: PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES 1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: ■ tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. § 39.13 [Amended] 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by removing airworthiness directive (AD) 2011–14–07, Amendment 39–16742 (76 FR 47056, August 4, 2011), and adding the following new AD: ■ VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:56 Jul 18, 2012 Jkt 226001 2012–13–02 Pratt & Whitney Division: Amendment 39–17104; Docket No. FAA–2010–1095; Directorate Identifier 2009–NE–40–AD. (a) Effective Date This AD is effective August 23, 2012. (b) Affected ADs This AD supersedes AD 2011–14–07, Amendment 39–16742 (76 FR 47056, August 4, 2011). (c) Applicability This AD applies to Pratt & Whitney Division PW4074 and PW4077 turbofan engines with 15th stage high-pressure compressor (HPC) disks, part number (P/N) 55H615, installed. (d) Unsafe Condition This AD results from multiple shop findings of cracked 15th stage HPC disks. We are issuing this AD to prevent cracks from propagating into the disk bolt holes, which could result in a failure of the 15th stage HPC disk, uncontained engine failure, and damage to the airplane. (e) Compliance Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done. To perform the inspections, use paragraph 1.A. or 1.B. of the Accomplishment Instructions ‘‘For Engines Installed on the Aircraft’’ or 1.A. or 1.B. of the Accomplishment Instructions ‘‘For Engines Removed from the Aircraft,’’ of Pratt & Whitney Service Bulletin PW4G–112–72– 309, Revision 1, dated July 1, 2010. (1) For 15th stage HPC disks that have 9,865 or fewer cycles since new (CSN) on the effective date of this AD, remove the disk from service before accumulating 12,000 CSN. (2) For 15th stage HPC disks that have accumulated more than 9,865 CSN on the effective date of this AD, do one of the following: (i) Remove the disk from service at the next piece-part exposure, not to exceed 2,135 cycles-in-service (CIS) after the effective date of this AD. (ii) Perform a borescope inspection (BSI) or eddy current inspection (ECI) of the front rail of the disk outer rim according to the following schedule: (A) Within 2,400 cycles-since-last fluorescent penetrant inspection or ECI, or (B) Within 1,200 cycles-since-last BSI, or (C) Before accumulating 12,000 CSN, or (D) Within 55 CIS after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs latest. (3) If the BSI from paragraph (e)(2)(ii) of this AD indicates the presence of a crack in the disk outer rim front rail, but you cannot visually confirm a crack, perform an ECI within 5 CIS after the BSI. (4) If you confirm a crack in the front rail of the disk outer rim using any inspection method, remove the disk from service before further flight. (f) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs) The Manager, Engine Certification Office, may approve AMOCs for this AD. Use the PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 42425 procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19 to make your request.

DATES: Effective Dates: 0901 UTC, September 20, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Vero Beach Municipal Airport, FL, is located 4.1 NM southwest of the Vero Beach VORTAC. The airport and the VORTAC have the same name and three-letter identifier (VRB) which has caused some safety concerns. Cases have recently been observed where GPSequipped aircraft have navigated via the VRB Airport rather than the VRB VORTAC as intended. To preclude this in the future, the name of the VORTAC is being changed to Treasure VORTAC with the new three-letter identifier ‘‘TRV.’’ tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES The Rule This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by amending the legal descriptions of Jet Routes J–45 and J–79; and VOR Federal Airways V–3, V–51, V–159, V–225, V– 295 and V–537, to reflect the name change of one of the navigation aids used to define the routes. To eliminate confusion, and potential flight safety issues, the Vero Beach VORTAC is renamed the Treasure VORTAC and is assigned a new three-letter identifier (TRV). The VORTAC name change does not alter the current alignment of the affected routes. Additionally, in the J–45 description, the words ‘‘Virginia Key’’ are inserted between the words ‘‘Virginia Key, FL,’’ and ‘‘INT 014°’’ to indicate that the 014° radial is referenced from the Virginia Key VOR/DME. The description of V–3 is amended by inserting the word ‘‘Quebec’’ before the words ‘‘PQ, Canada.’’ In V–51, the ‘‘Pahokee 009°’’ radial is changed to the ‘‘Pahokee 010°’’ radial. J–45, V–3 and V51 are all currently charted correctly and these VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:56 Jul 18, 2012 Jkt 226001 changes simply correct unintended omissions from the descriptions of J–45 and V–3, and a one degree radial error in V–51. Since this action merely involves editorial changes in the legal descriptions of the above ATS routes, and does not involve a change in the dimensions or operating requirements of the affected routes, I find that notice and public procedures 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 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 jet routes and airways in the vicinity of Vero Beach, FL to eliminate confusion. Jet Routes are published in paragraph 2004; and Domestic VOR Federal Airways are published in paragraph 6010(a), respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9V, dated August 9, 2011, and effective September 15, 2011, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The domestic Jet Routes and VOR Federal Airways listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order. Environmental Review The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Policy Act in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures, paragraph 311a.

SUMMARY: This action amends the legal descriptions of Jet Routes J-45 
and J-79, and VHF omnidirectional range (VOR)

[[Page 42426]]

Federal airways V-3, V-51, V-159, V-225, V-295 and V-537, in the 
vicinity of Vero Beach, FL. The FAA is taking this action because the 
name of the Vero Beach, FL, VOR Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) 
facility, which is included in the descriptions of the above routes, is 
being changed to the Treasure VORTAC.

DATES: Effective Dates: 0901 UTC, September 20, 2012. The Director of 
the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action 
under 1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 
and publication of conforming amendments.

Administration, 800 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    Vero Beach Municipal Airport, FL, is located 4.1 NM southwest of 
the Vero Beach VORTAC. The airport and the VORTAC have the same name 
and three-letter identifier (VRB) which has caused some safety 
concerns. Cases have recently been observed where GPS-equipped aircraft 
have navigated via the VRB Airport rather than the VRB VORTAC as 
intended. To preclude this in the future, the name of the VORTAC is 
being changed to Treasure VORTAC with the new three-letter identifier 
``TRV.''

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by amending the legal descriptions of Jet Routes J-45 and J-79; 
and VOR Federal Airways V-3, V-51, V-159, V-225, V-295 and V-537, to 
reflect the name change of one of the navigation aids used to define 
the routes. To eliminate confusion, and potential flight safety issues, 
the Vero Beach VORTAC is renamed the Treasure VORTAC and is assigned a 
new three-letter identifier (TRV). The VORTAC name change does not 
alter the current alignment of the affected routes.
    Additionally, in the J-45 description, the words ``Virginia Key'' 
are inserted between the words ``Virginia Key, FL,'' and ``INT 
014[deg]'' to indicate that the 014[deg] radial is referenced from the 
Virginia Key VOR/DME. The description of V-3 is amended by inserting 
the word ``Quebec'' before the words ``PQ, Canada.'' In V-51, the 
``Pahokee 009[deg]'' radial is changed to the ``Pahokee 010[deg]'' 
radial. J-45, V-3 and V51 are all currently charted correctly and these 
changes simply correct unintended omissions from the descriptions of J-
45 and V-3, and a one degree radial error in V-51.
    Since this action merely involves editorial changes in the legal 
descriptions of the above ATS routes, and does not involve a change in 
the dimensions or operating requirements of the affected routes, I find 
that notice and public procedures 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 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 jet routes and airways in the 
vicinity of Vero Beach, FL to eliminate confusion.
    Jet Routes are published in paragraph 2004; and Domestic VOR 
Federal Airways are published in paragraph 6010(a), respectively, of 
FAA Order 7400.9V, dated August 9, 2011, and effective September 15, 
2011, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The domestic 
Jet Routes and VOR Federal Airways listed in this document will be 
published subsequently in the Order.

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. This airspace action consists of editorial changes only 
and is not expected to cause any potentially significant environmental 
impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant 
preparation of an environmental assessment.
