71492
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 232 / Monday, December 3, 2012 / Rules and Regulations
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.
2012–23–12 Turbomeca S.A.: Amendment
39–17268; Docket No. FAA–2008–0681;
Directorate Identifier 2008–NE–13–AD.
Regulatory Findings
Turbomeca S.A. informed the European
Aviation Safety Agency of a case of a ‘‘red
disk’’ plug, adapted for bench testing, which
was installed on the FCU on an engine and
released for service operation. An engine
experienced an in-service high pressure leak
event (at the fuel pump outlet) due to
cracking of this ‘‘red disk’’ plug. This leak
could lead to in-flight flame-out and/or
possibly a fire. This AD was prompted by
Turbomeca S.A. informing us that FCUs
manufactured, repaired, or overhauled after
March 31, 2008, do not require inspection.
We are issuing this AD to prevent fuel leaks,
which could result in a fire and damage to
the helicopter.
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.

Amendment of VOR Federal Airway V–
8 in the Vicinity of Rifle, CO
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule, technical
amendment.
AGENCY:
On October 29, 2012, the FAA
published a final rule, technical
amendment in the Federal Register
amending the description of RNAV
route Q–1 by adding two new waypoints
to the route (77 FR 65461). Subsequent
to publication, an error was discovered
in the spelling of the TOCOS waypoint.
Area Navigation Routes are published
in paragraph 6011 of FAA Order
7400.9W, dated August 8, 2012, and
effective September 15, 2012, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The RNAV route listed in this
document will be published
subsequently in the Order.
This action amends VHF
Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal
Airway V–8 in the vicinity of Rifle, CO,
to correct the description contained in
part 71 to ensure it matches the
information contained in the FAA’s
aeronautical database, matches the
depiction on the associated charts, and
to ensure the safety and efficiency of the
National Airspace System (NAS).
DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC
December 3, 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Correction to Final Rule
History
Accordingly, pursuant to the
authority delegated to me, the TACOS,
CA, waypoint published in the Federal
Register on October 29, 2012 (77 FR
65461) for RNAV route Q–1 is corrected
as follows:
After a recent review of aeronautical
data, the Aeronautical Navigation
Products Group identified the current
VOR Federal airway V–8 description
published in FAA Order 7400.9,
Airspace Designations and Reporting
Points, did not match the airway
information contained in the FAA’s
aeronautical database or the charted
depiction of the airway. When V–8 was
amended in the Federal Register of
September 30, 1993 (58 FR 51010), the
airway was realigned over the Rifle, CO,
VHF Omnidirectional Range/Distance
Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME)
navigation aid between Grand Junction,
CO, and Kremmling, CO. In the Federal
Register of August 9, 2010 (75 FR
47709), V–8 was renamed from the
Findlay, OH, VORTAC to the Flag City,
OH, VORTAC. The Rifle, CO, VOR/DME
was inadvertently deleted from the
airway description. The FAA

aeronautical database retained the Rifle,
CO, VOR/DME in the airway description
correctly and the associated
aeronautical charts remain published
accordingly. To overcome any confusion
or flight safety issues associated with
conflicting airway description
information being published, the FAA is
amending the V–8 legal description to
reflect the airway aligned over the Rifle,
CO, VOR/DME. Accordingly, since this
is an administrative correction to update
the V–8 description to be in concert
with the FAA’s aeronautical database
and charting, notice and public
procedures under Title 5 U.S.C. 553(b)
are unnecessary.
The Rule
The FAA amends Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by
amending the legal description of VOR
Federal airway V–8 in the vicinity of
Rifle, CO. Specifically, the FAA amends
V–8 to reflect the airway aligned over
the Rifle, CO, VOR/DME; thus, matching
the information currently contained in
the FAA’s aeronautical database and the
charted depiction of the airway.
VOR Federal airways are listed in
paragraph 6010 of FAA Order 7400.9W
dated August 8, 2012, and effective
September 15, 2012, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The VOR Federal airway listed in
this document will be revised
subsequently in the Order.
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
