Amendment of Class E Airspace; Worthington, MN, 41685-41686 [2013-16441]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 133 / Thursday, July 11, 2013 / Rules and Regulations comprehensive criteria are needed for the new generation of high-bypass engines. The special conditions would distinguish between the more common engine-failure events and those rare events resulting from structural failures. The more-common events would continue to be treated as static torque limit load conditions. The more-severe events resulting from extreme enginefailure conditions (such as loss of a full fan blade at redline speed), would be treated as full dynamic-load conditions. These would be considered ultimate loads, and include all transient loads associated with the event. An additional safety factor would be applied to the more-critical airframe supporting structure. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 25 Aircraft, Aviation safety, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements. The authority citation for these special conditions is as follows: rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with RULES Issued in Renton, Washington, on June 21, 2013. Jeffrey E. Duven, Acting Manager, Transport Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification Service. On March 26, 2013, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend Class E airspace for the Worthington, MN, area, creating additional controlled airspace at Worthington Municipal Airport (78 FR 18263) Docket No. FAA–2012–1139. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 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 Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order. The Rule This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by amending Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to ensure that required controlled airspace exists from the current 7-mile radius of the airport to 11.6 miles north and 11.1 miles south of the airport to contain aircraft executing new standard instrument approach procedures at Worthington Municipal Airport, Worthington, MN. This action enhances the safety and management of IFR operations at the airport. Geographic coordinates of the airport are updated to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical database. 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 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701, 44702, 44704. The Special Conditions Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the following special conditions are issued as part of the type certification basis for the Embraer Model EMB–550 airplane. In lieu of 14 CFR 25.361(b), the following special conditions apply: 1. For turbine-engine installations, the engine mounts, pylons, and adjacent supporting airframe structure must be designed to withstand 1g level flight loads acting simultaneously with the maximum limit torque loads imposed by each of the following: (a) Sudden engine deceleration due to a malfunction, which could result in a temporary loss of power or thrust, and (b) The maximum acceleration of the engine. 2. For auxiliary power unit (APU) installations, the APU mounts and adjacent supporting airframe structure Jkt 229001 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History BILLING CODE 4910–13–P Conclusion This action affects only certain novel or unusual design features on one model of airplane. It is not a rule of general applicability. 14:17 Jul 10, 2013 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.

Should Embraer apply at a later date for a change to the type certificate to include another model incorporating the same novel or unusual design feature, the special conditions would apply to that model as well. VerDate Mar<15>2010 must be designed to withstand 1g level flight loads acting simultaneously with the maximum limit torque loads imposed by each of the following: (a) Sudden APU deceleration due to malfunction or structural failure; and (b) The maximum acceleration of the APU. 3. For engine-supporting structure, an ultimate loading condition must be considered that combines 1g flight loads with the transient dynamic loads resulting from: (a) The loss of any fan, compressor, or turbine blade; and separately (b) Where applicable to a specific engine design, any other engine structural failure that results in higher loads. 4. The ultimate loads developed from the conditions specified in paragraphs 3(a) and 3(b) of these special conditions are to be multiplied by a factor of 1.0 when applied to engine mounts and pylons, and multiplied by a factor of 1.25 when applied to adjacent supporting airframe structure. 5. Any permanent deformation that results from the conditions specified in paragraph 3 of these special conditions must not prevent continued safe flight and landing. 41685 Federal Aviation Administration 14 CFR Part 71 [Docket No. FAA–2012–1139; Airspace Docket No. 12–AGL–12] Amendment of Class E Airspace; Worthington, MN Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On March 26, 2013, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend Class E airspace for the 
Worthington, MN, area, creating additional controlled airspace at 
Worthington Municipal Airport (78 FR 18263) Docket No. FAA-2012-1139. 
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No 
comments were received. Class E airspace designations are published in 
paragraph 6005 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 Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be 
published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by amending Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
above the surface to ensure that required controlled airspace exists 
from the current 7-mile radius of the airport to 11.6 miles north and 
11.1 miles south of the airport to contain aircraft executing new 
standard instrument approach procedures at Worthington Municipal 
Airport, Worthington, MN. This action enhances the safety and 
management of IFR operations at the airport. Geographic coordinates of 
the airport are updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical 
database.
    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 only affects 
air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this 
rule, when promulgated, does 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 amends controlled airspace at Worthington Municipal Airport, 
Worthington, MN.

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 is not expected to 
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no 
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an 
environmental assessment.
