Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 153 / Thursday, August 10, 2017 / Proposed Rules
mstockstill on DSK30JT082PROD with PROPOSALS
(h) Exceptions to Service Information
Specifications
(1) For purposes of determining
compliance with the requirements of this AD,
the phrase ‘‘the effective date of this AD’’
may be substituted for ‘‘the original issue
date of this service bulletin,’’ as specified in
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737–53A1358,
dated April 27, 2017.
(2) Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin
737–53A1358, dated April 27, 2017, specifies
contacting Boeing, and specifies that action
as RC: This AD requires using a method
approved in accordance with the procedures
specified in paragraph (j) of this AD.
(3) Part 7 of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin
737–53A1358, dated April 27, 2017, specifies
post-modification airworthiness limitation
inspections in compliance with 14 CFR
25.571(a)(3) at the modified locations to
support compliance with 14 CFR
121.1109(c)(2) or 129.109(b)(2). Although
Part 7 is identified as RC, this AD does not
require accomplishment of Part 7. As
airworthiness limitations, these inspections
are required by maintenance and operational
rules. It is therefore unnecessary to mandate
them in this AD. Deviations from these
inspections require FAA approval, but do not
require approval of an alternative method of
compliance.
(i) Terminating Action for Repetitive
Inspections
(1) Replacement of a skin panel, in
accordance with Part 8 of the
Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 737–53A1358, dated April
27, 2017, except as required by paragraph
(h)(2) of this AD, terminates the actions
specified in Parts 1, 4, and 6 of the
Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 737–53A1358, dated April
27, 2017, as required by paragraph (g) of this
AD, for that replaced skin panel only. To be
acceptable as terminating action, the
replacement may not be done prior to the
applicable time specified in Table 4 of
paragraph 1.E., ‘‘Compliance,’’ of Boeing
Alert Service Bulletin 737–53A1358, dated
April 27, 2017.
(2) Completion of a structural repair
manual repair to repair cracking, in
accordance with Part 2 of the
Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 737–53A1358, dated April
27, 2017, except as required by paragraph
(h)(2) of this AD, terminates the repetitive
inspections specified in Part 1 of the
Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 737–53A1358, dated April
27, 2017, as required by paragraph (g) of this
AD, for that repair location only.
(3) Completion of a ‘‘Category C repair’’ to
repair cracking, in accordance with Part 3 of
the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing
Alert Service Bulletin 737–53A1358, dated
April 27, 2017, except as required by
paragraph (h)(2) of this AD, terminates the
repetitive inspections specified in Part 1 of
the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing
Alert Service Bulletin 737–53A1358, dated
April 27, 2017, as required by paragraph (g)
of this AD, for that repair location only.
(4) Completion of a ‘‘Change Category C
Repair to SB Repair,’’ in accordance with Part
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:24 Aug 09, 2017
Jkt 241001
6 of the Accomplishment Instructions of
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737–53A1358,
dated April 27, 2017, except as required by
paragraph (h)(2) of this AD, terminates the
inspections specified in Part 4 of the
Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 737–53A1358, dated April
27, 2017, as required by paragraph (g) of this
AD, for that repair location only.
(j) Alternative Methods of Compliance
(AMOCs)
(1) The Manager, Los Angeles ACO Branch,
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
certification office, send it to the attention of
the person identified in paragraph (k)(1) of
this AD. Information may be emailed to: 9ANM-LAACO-AMOC-Requests@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,
modification, or alteration required by this
AD if it is approved by the Boeing
Commercial Airplanes Organization
Designation Authorization (ODA) that has
been authorized by the Manager, Los Angeles
ACO Branch, to make those findings. To be
approved, the repair method, modification
deviation, or alteration deviation must meet
the certification basis of the airplane, and the
approval must specifically refer to this AD.
(4) Except as required by paragraphs (h)(2)
and (h)(3) of this AD: For service information
that contains steps that are labeled as RC, the
provisions of paragraphs (j)(4)(i) and (j)(4)(ii)
of this AD apply.
(i) The steps labeled as RC, including
substeps under an RC step and any figures
identified in an RC step, must be done to
comply with the AD. If a step or substep is
labeled ‘‘RC Exempt,’’ then the RC
requirement is removed from that step or
substep. An AMOC is required for any
deviations to RC steps, including substeps
and identified figures.
(ii) Steps not labeled 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 RC steps,
including substeps and identified figures, can
still be done as specified, and the airplane
can be put back in an airworthy condition.

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 within a 6.4-mile
radius of Onida Municipal Airport,
Onida, SD, to accommodate new special
instrument approach procedures.
Controlled airspace is needed for the
PO 00000
Frm 00011

safety and management of IFR
operations 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.

I. Background
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve
North Carolina’s December 9, 2015 State
Implementation Plan (SIP) submission
pertaining to the Clean Air Act’s (CAA
or Act) ‘‘good neighbor’’ provision of the
Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) for the 2008
8-hour ozone National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS). The good
neighbor provision requires each state’s
SIP to address the interstate transport of
air pollution in amounts that contribute
significantly to nonattainment, or
interfere with maintenance, of a NAAQS
in any other state. In this action, EPA is
proposing to determine that North
Carolina’s SIP contains adequate
provisions to prohibit emissions within
the state from contributing significantly
to nonattainment or interfering with
maintenance of the 2008 8-hour ozone
NAAQS in any other state.
DATES: Comments must be received on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On March 27, 2008, EPA promulgated
an ozone NAAQS that revised the levels
of the primary and secondary 8-hour
ozone standards from 0.08 parts per
million (ppm) to 0.075 ppm. See 73 FR
16436. Pursuant to CAA section
110(a)(1), within three years after
promulgation of a new or revised
NAAQS (or shorter, if EPA prescribes),
states must submit SIPs that meet the
applicable requirements of section
110(a)(2). EPA has historically referred
to these SIP submissions made for the
purpose of satisfying the requirements
of sections 110(a)(1) and 110(a)(2) as
‘‘infrastructure SIP’’ submissions. One
of the structural requirements of section
110(a)(2) is section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) which
generally requires SIPs to contain
adequate provisions to prohibit in-state
emissions activities from having certain
adverse air quality effects on
neighboring states due to interstate
transport of air pollution. There are four
sub-elements, or ‘‘prongs,’’ within
section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) of the CAA. CAA
section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I), also known as
the ‘‘good neighbor’’ provision, requires
SIPs to include provisions prohibiting
any source or other type of emissions
activity in one state from emitting any
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
37371
air pollutant in amounts that will
contribute significantly to
nonattainment, or interfere with
maintenance, of the NAAQS in another
state. The two provisions of this section
are referred to as prong 1 (significant
contribution to nonattainment) and
prong 2 (interference with
maintenance). Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II)
requires SIPs to contain adequate
provisions to prohibit emissions that
will interfere with measures required to
be included in the applicable
implementation plan for any other state
under part C to prevent significant
deterioration of air quality (prong 3) or
to protect visibility (prong 4). This
proposed action addresses only prongs
1 and 2 of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i). All
other infrastructure SIP elements for
North Carolina for the 2008 8-hour
ozone NAAQS were addressed in
separate rulemakings.1
A. State Submittal
On December 9, 2015, the North
Carolina Department of Environmental
Quality (NCDEQ) submitted a SIP
submittal containing a certification 2
that North Carolina is meeting the
requirements of CAA section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) for the 2008 8-hour
ozone NAAQS because, based on
available emissions and air quality
modeling data, emissions activities
within North Carolina will not
significantly contribute to
nonattainment or interfere with
maintenance of the 2008 8-hour ozone
NAAQS in any other state.3 NCDEQ
reviewed preliminary air quality
modeling and data files that EPA
disseminated in an August 4, 2015
Notice of Data Availability to assess
interstate transport of ozone for the 2008
ozone NAAQS.4 See Notice of
1 See 80 FR 68453 (November 5, 2015), 81 FR
35634 (June 3, 2016), and 81 FR 63107 (September
14, 2016).
2 This submittal revises a November 2, 2012
submittal addressing other infrastructure SIP
elements for North Carolina for the 2008 ozone
NAAQS. See, e.g., 80 FR 68453. North Carolina
previously withdrew the portions of the November
2, 2012 submittal related to prongs 1 and 2.
3 On July 13, 2015, EPA published a final
rulemaking that finalized findings of failure to
submit for 24 states, including North Carolina. See
80 FR 39961. The findings of failure to submit
established a 2-year deadline for EPA to promulgate
a federal implementation plan to address the
interstate transport SIP requirements pertaining to
significant contribution to nonattainment and
interference with maintenance unless, prior to EPA
promulgating a FIP, the state submits, and EPA
approves, a SIP that meets these requirements.
Additional background on the findings of failure to
submit—including North Carolina’s finding—can be
found in the preamble to the final rule making the
finding.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority for This Rulemaking
The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, 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 establish Class E airspace extending up to and including
700 feet above the surface at Onida Municipal Airport, Onida, SD, in
support of new instrument approach procedures at the airport.

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 within a 6.4-mile radius of
Onida Municipal Airport, Onida, SD, to accommodate new special
instrument approach procedures. Controlled airspace is needed for the
safety and management of IFR operations 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.
