Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 214 / Friday, November 4, 2016 / Proposed Rules
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.
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 to the extent that it justifies
making a regulatory distinction, 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.

(b) Affected ADs
None.
(c) Applicability
This AD applies to all Turbomeca S.A.
Arriel 2B turboshaft engines with a premodification (mod) TU 158 hydromechanical metering unit (HMU), installed.
(d) Reason
This AD was prompted by a report of an
uncommanded in-flight shutdown (IFSD) on
a single engine helicopter caused by a low
returning spring rate of the needle of the
HMU. We are issuing this AD to prevent
failure of the HMU, failure of the engine,
IFSD and loss of the helicopter.

Comply with this AD within the
compliance times specified, unless already
done.
(1) For an engine in pre-mod TU 158
configuration, within 200 engine hours, or
within 5 months, whichever occurs first after
the effective date of this AD, remove the premod TU 158 HMU from service and replace
with a part eligible for installation.
(2) Reserved.
(f) Installation Prohibition
After the effective date of the AD, do not
install any pre-mod TU 158 HMU into any
engine.
(g) Definition
For the purpose of this AD, an HMU
eligible for installation is one that
incorporates mod TU 158 in accordance with
Turbomeca MSB No. 292 73 3158, Version A,
dated April 7, 2016, or other FAA approved
parts.
(h) Alternative Methods of Compliance
(AMOCs)

Availability and Summary of
Documents Proposed for Incorporation
by Reference
This document proposes to amend
FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
dated August 3, 2016, and effective
September 15, 2016. FAA Order
7400.11A is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this
document. FAA Order 7400.11A 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 establishing Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface at Hot Springs
County Airport, Thermopolis, WY. Class
E airspace would be established within
a 4.8-mile radius of Hot Springs County
Airport, with segments extending from
the 3.5-mile radius to 5.5 miles
northwest of the airport, and 7 miles
southwest of the airport. This airspace
is necessary to support the development
of IFR operations in standard
instrument approach and departure
procedures at the airport.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016,
PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702

and effective September 15, 2016, 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.
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 Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by establishing Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface at Hot Springs County Airport,
Thermopolis, WY. Class E airspace would be established within a 4.8-
mile radius of Hot Springs County Airport, with segments extending from
the 3.5-mile radius to 5.5 miles northwest of the airport, and 7 miles
southwest of the airport. This airspace is necessary to support the
development of IFR operations in standard instrument approach and
departure procedures at the airport.
Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15,
2016, 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.
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.
