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 determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 this proposed regulation: 1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866; 2. Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the 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. The Proposed Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows: PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES 1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: ■ Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. § 39.13 [Amended] 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness directive (AD): asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS ■ Bombardier, Inc.: Docket No. FAA–2016– 7421; Directorate Identifier 2015–NM– 145–AD. (a) Comments Due Date We must receive comments by August 15, 2016. (b) Affected ADs None. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:43 Jun 30, 2016 Jkt 238001 (c) Applicability This AD applies to the Bombardier, Inc. airplanes identified in paragraph (c)(1), (c)(2), or (c)(3) of this AD, certificated in any category, equipped with No. 3 hydraulic system reservoir having part number 960450– 1. (1) Model CL–600–2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701, & 702), CL–600–2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705), having serial numbers 10002 through 10999 inclusive. (2) Model CL–600–2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes, having serial numbers 15001 through 15990 inclusive.

(e) Reason This AD was prompted by a determination that wear and possible leakage of the highpressure seal in the cylinder of the No. 3 hydraulic system reservoir could occur. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct a malfunctioning temperature indication of the No. 3 hydraulic system. High hydraulic fluid temperature combined with a temperature transducer malfunction could result in unannunciated overheating of the hydraulic system and consequent ignition sources inside the fuel tank, which, combined with flammable fuel vapors, could result in a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the airplane. (f) Compliance Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done. (g) Operational Check and Repair, if Necessary Within 660 flight hours or 4 months after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first: Perform an operational check for wear and leakage of the high-pressure seal in the cylinder of the reservoir of the No. 3 hydraulic system, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA–29–018, Revision A, dated October 13, 2015. If the operational check fails, before further flight, do applicable corrective actions and repeat the operational check and applicable corrective actions until the operational check passes. Repeat the operational check thereafter at intervals not to exceed 660 flight hours or 4 months, whichever occurs first. (h) Credit for Previous Actions This paragraph provides credit for the applicable actions required by paragraph (g) of this AD, if those actions were performed before the effective date of this AD using Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA–29–018, dated June 25, 2015, which is not incorporated by reference in this AD.

Availability and Summary of Documents Proposed for Incorporation by Reference This document would amend FAA Order 7400.9Z, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2015, and effective September 15, 2015. FAA Order 7400.9Z is publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.9Z lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting points. The Proposal The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at the following airports: Within a 6.4-mile radius of Carmi Municipal Airport, Carmi, IL, and updating the geographic coordinates of this airport to coincide with the FAAs aeronautical database; Within a 6.8-mile radius of De Kalb Taylor Municipal Airport, De Kalb, IL, and updating the geographic coordinates of this airport to coincide with the FAAs aeronautical database; Within a 6.5-mile radius of Harrisburg-Raleigh Airport, Harrisburg, IL, and updating the geographic coordinates of this airport to coincide with the FAAs aeronautical database; Within a 6.5-mile radius of Kewanne Municipal Airport, Kewanne, IL; Within a 6.7-mile radius of Litchfield Municipal Airport, Litchfield, IL, and updating the geographic coordinates of this airport to coincide with the FAAs aeronautical database; Within a 6.4-mile radius of Edgar County Airport, Paris, IL, and updating the geographic E:\FR\FM\01JYP1.SGM 01JYP1 43126 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 127 / Friday, July 1, 2016 / Proposed Rules coordinates of this airport to coincide with the FAAs aeronautical database; and Within a 6.5-mile radius of Taylorville Municipal Airport, Taylorville, IL, and updating the geographic coordinates of this airport to coincide with the FAAs aeronautical database. These airspace reconfigurations are necessary due to the decommissioning of NDBs, cancellation of NDB approaches, and implementation of RNAV standard instrument approach procedures at the above airports. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations at these airports. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9Z, dated August 6, 2015, and effective September 15, 2015, 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. asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS Regulatory Notices and Analyses 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, is non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative comments. 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, would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. Environmental Review This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

    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, is 
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative 
comments. 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, would not have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities 
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in 
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies 
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
