(h) Exception to Service Information
Specifications
Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777–
53A0078, dated December 5, 2014, specifies
a compliance time ‘‘after the original issue
date of this service bulletin,’’ this AD
requires compliance within the specified
compliance time after the effective date of
this AD.
Issued in Renton, Washington, on May 1,
2015.

Manager, Transport Airplane Directorate,
Aircraft Certification Service.
(i) Alternative Methods of Compliance
(AMOCs)
(1) The Manager, Seattle Aircraft
Certification Office (ACO), FAA, has the
authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if
requested using the procedures found in 14
CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19,
send your request to your principal inspector
or local Flight Standards District Office, as
appropriate. If sending information directly
to the manager of the ACO, send it to the
attention of the person identified in
paragraph (j)(1) of this AD. Information may
be emailed to: 9-ANM-Seattle-ACO-AMOCRequests@faa.gov.
(2) Before using any approved AMOC,
notify your appropriate principal inspector,
or lacking a principal inspector, the manager
of the local flight standards district office/
certificate holding district office.
(3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable
level of safety may be used for any repair
required by this AD if it is approved by the
Boeing Commercial Airplanes Organization
Designation Authorization (ODA) that has
been authorized by the Manager, Seattle
ACO, to make those findings. For a repair
method to be approved, the repair must meet
the certification basis of the airplane, and the
approval must specifically refer to this AD.
(4) If any service information contains
steps that are identified as RC (Required for
Compliance), those steps must be done to
comply with this AD; any steps that are not
identified as RC are recommended. Those
steps that are not identified as RC may be
deviated from using accepted methods in
accordance with the operator’s maintenance
or inspection program without obtaining
approval of an AMOC, provided the steps
identified as RC can be done and the airplane
can be put back in a serviceable condition.
Any substitutions or changes to steps
identified as RC require approval of an
AMOC.

Availability and Summary of
Documents Proposed for Incorporation
by Reference
This document proposes to amend
FAA Order 7400.9Y, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
dated August 6, 2014, and effective
September 15, 2014. FAA Order
7400.9Y is publicly available as listed in
the ADDRESSES section of this proposed
rule. FAA Order 7400.9Y lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic
service routes, and reporting points.
The Proposal
This action proposes to amend Title
14, Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR), Part 71 by modifying Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface for standard
instrument approach procedures
(SIAPs) Audubon County Airport,
Audubon, IA; Corning Municipal
Airport, Corning, IA; Ellen Church Field
Airport, Cresco, IA; Eagle Grove
Municipal Airport, Eagle Grove, IA;
Guthrie County Regional Airport,
Guthrie Center, IA; Hampton Municipal
Airport, Hampton, IA; Harlan Municipal
Airport, Harlan, IA; Iowa Falls
Municipal Airport, Iowa Falls, IA;
Knoxville Municipal Airport, Knoxville,
IA; Oelwein Municipal Airport,
Oelwein, IA; and Red Oak Municipal
Red Oak, IA. Airspace reconfiguration is
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:06 May 11, 2015
Jkt 235001
necessary due to the decommissioning
of NDBs and/or the cancellation of the
NDB approach at each airport.
Controlled airspace is necessary for the
safety and management of IFR
operations for SIAPs at the airports.
Class E airspace areas are published
in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9Y, dated August 6, 2014 and
effective September 15, 2014, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class E airspace designation
listed in this document will 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
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
amend controlled airspace at the Iowa
airports listed in this NPRM.
Environmental Review
This proposal will be subject to an
environmental analysis in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E,
‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final
regulatory action.

ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a
May 11, 2012 State Implementation Plan
(SIP) submission from the State of
Colorado that is intended to
demonstrate that its SIP meets certain
interstate transport requirements of the
Clean Air Act (Act or CAA) for the 2006
fine particulate matter (PM2.5) National
Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS). This submission addresses
the requirement that Colorado’s SIP
contain adequate provisions prohibiting
air emissions that will have certain
adverse air quality effects in other
states. EPA is proposing to determine
that Colorado’s existing SIP contains
adequate provisions to ensure that air
emissions in Colorado do not
significantly contribute to
nonattainment or interfere with
maintenance of the 2006 24-hour PM2.5
NAAQS in any other state, or interfere
with another state’s measures to prevent
significant deterioration (PSD) of air
quality or to protect visibility. EPA is
also proposing to approve the portion of
Colorado’s submission that addresses
the CAA requirement that SIPs contain
adequate provisions related to interstate
and international pollution abatement.

Availability and Summary of Documents Proposed for Incorporation by
Reference
This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.9Y, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2014, and effective
September 15, 2014. FAA Order 7400.9Y is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this proposed rule. FAA Order 7400.9Y lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.
The Proposal
This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR), Part 71 by modifying Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface for standard instrument approach procedures
(SIAPs) Audubon County Airport, Audubon, IA; Corning Municipal Airport,
Corning, IA; Ellen Church Field Airport, Cresco, IA; Eagle Grove
Municipal Airport, Eagle Grove, IA; Guthrie County Regional Airport,
Guthrie Center, IA; Hampton Municipal Airport, Hampton, IA; Harlan
Municipal Airport, Harlan, IA; Iowa Falls Municipal Airport, Iowa
Falls, IA; Knoxville Municipal Airport, Knoxville, IA; Oelwein
Municipal Airport, Oelwein, IA; and Red Oak Municipal Red Oak, IA.
Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the decommissioning of
NDBs and/or the cancellation of the NDB approach at each airport.
Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of IFR
operations for SIAPs at the airports.
Class E airspace areas are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9Y, dated August 6, 2014 and effective September 15, 2014, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designation listed in this document will 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 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 amend controlled airspace at the Iowa airports listed in
this NPRM.
Environmental Review
This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
