ACTION: Final rule; correction.
AGENCY:

Jkt 229001
Airworthiness Directive 2013–10–04 (78
FR 35110, June 12, 2013), currently
requires a detailed repetitive inspection
of the exhaust system, expanding the
inspection scope to include the entirety
of each airplane exhaust system, and
repair or replacement of parts as
necessary for all Piper Aircraft, Inc.
Models PA–31, PA–31–325, and PA–
31–350 airplanes.
As published, the part number for the
tail pipe assembly, top; under the Model
PA–31–350; in Table 1 of paragraph (g)
is incorrect.
No other part of the preamble or
regulatory information has been
changed; therefore, only the changed
portion of the final rule is being
published in the Federal Register.
The effective date of this AD remains
July 17, 2013.

Amendment of Class D Airspace;
Santa Monica, CA
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This action modifies Class D
airspace at Santa Monica Municipal
Airport, Santa Monica, CA, to
accommodate aircraft departing and
arriving under Instrument Flight Rules
(IFR) at the airport. This action initiated
by the biennial review of the Santa
Monica Municipal Airport airspace area,
and on the results of a study conducted
by the Los Angeles Visual Flight Rules
(VFR) Task Force, and the Los Angeles
Class B Workgroup, enhances the safety
and management of aircraft operations
at the airport. Adjustments to the
geographic coordinates of the airport
also are made.
DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC,
December 12, 2013. 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:
SUMMARY:
History
On October 27, 2011, the FAA
published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
to modify controlled airspace at Santa
Monica, CA (76 FR 66662). Interested
parties were invited to participate in
this rulemaking effort by submitting
written comments on the proposal to the
FAA. No comments were received.
Subsequent to publication, the Los
Angeles VFR Airspace Task Force
reassessed the proposal and on June 25,
2013, the FAA published in the Federal
Register a supplemental notice of
proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to

further modify controlled airspace at
Santa Monica, CA (78 FR 37997).
Interested parties were invited to
participate in the rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the
proposal to the FAA. No comments
were received.
Class D airspace designations are
published in paragraph 5000, of FAA
Order 7400.9W dated August 8, 2012,
and effective September 15, 2012, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
Part 71.1. The Class D airspace
designations listed in this document
will be published subsequently in that
Order.
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by
modifying the Class D airspace area to
within a 4-mile radius of Santa Monica
Municipal Airport, Santa Monica, CA,
with a segment extending from the 4mile radius to 4.6 miles northeast of the
airport, to accommodate IFR aircraft
departing and arriving at the airport.
The geographic coordinates of the
airport are updated to coincide with the
FAA’s aeronautical database. Expanding
the current Santa Monica Municipal
Airport Class D airspace reduces those
areas that pose a high collision risk to
low level commercial, general aviation,
military and helicopter operations.
The FAA has determined 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 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
discusses 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 modifies
controlled airspace at Santa Monica
Municipal Airport, Santa Monica, CA.

19, 2013.

Environmental Review
[FR Doc. 2013–21497 Filed 9–4–13; 8:45 am]
BILLING CODE 4910–13–P
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.

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This rule establishes, amends,
suspends, or revokes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures
(SIAPs) and associated Takeoff
Minimums and Obstacle Departure
Procedures for operations at certain
airports. These regulatory actions are
needed because of the adoption of new
or revised criteria, or because of changes
occurring in the National Airspace
System, such as the commissioning of
new navigational facilities, adding new
obstacles, or changing air traffic
requirements. These changes are
designed to provide safe and efficient
use of the navigable airspace and to
promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected
airports.
SUMMARY:
In consideration of the foregoing, the
Federal Aviation Administration
amends 14 CFR part 71 as follows:
§ 71.1

This rule is effective September
5, 2013. The compliance date for each
