Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 84 / Thursday, April 30, 2020 / Proposed Rules
The FAA is issuing this rulemaking
under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, 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
The FAA 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) Will not affect intrastate aviation
in Alaska, and
(3) 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.

(e) Unsafe Condition
This AD was prompted by the
manufacturer identifying 38 low-pressure
compressor (LPC) front cases, part number
(P/N) KH26266 with individual serial
numbers (S/Ns), that have non-optimal
properties that could inhibit their ability to
contain certain engine failures. The FAA is
issuing this AD to prevent failure of the LPC
front case when subjected to high-energy
debris release. The unsafe condition, if not
addressed, could result in uncontained
release of high-energy debris, damage to the
engine, and damage to the airplane.
(f) Compliance
Comply with this AD within the
compliance times specified, unless already
done.
(g) Required Actions
After the effective date of this AD, no later
than the required removal date specified in
Appendix 1 of Rolls-Royce Alert NonModification Service Bulletin (NMSB) Trent
1000 72–AK294, dated July 16, 2019 (‘‘RollsRoyce Alert NMSB Trent 1000 72–AK294’’):
(1) Remove LPC front case, P/N KH26266
and with a S/N identified in Appendix 1 of
Rolls-Royce Alert NMSB Trent 1000 72–
AK294, and
(2) Replace the LPC front case with a part
eligible for installation.

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

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.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The proposed rule provides for
commercial vessels engaged in
commerce, the draw shall open Monday
thru Friday from 6:20 a.m. to 9:50 a.m.
and 3:20 p.m. to 7:20 p.m. on signal at
20 and 50 minutes after the hour, and
on signal at all other times. For all other
vessels, the draw shall open on Monday
thru Friday from 6:20 a.m. to 7:20 a.m.
on signal at 20 and 50 minutes after the
hour, and the draw shall open on
Saturday, Sunday and Federal Holidays
from 7:20 a.m. to 8:20 a.m. on signal at
20 and 50 minutes after the hour, and
on signal at all other times. The reason
for these changes is to minimize
excessive bridge openings which were a
direct cause of accelerated deterioration
of the bridge.

II. Background, Purpose and Legal
Basis
The Loop Parkway Bridge at mile 0.7,
across Long Creek, Nassau, New York,
has a vertical clearance of 21 feet at
mean high water and 25 at mean low
water. Horizontal clearance is
approximately 75.5 feet. The waterway
users include recreational and
commercial vessels including fishing
vessels.
The existing drawbridge operating
regulations are listed at 33 CFR
117.799(f).
In 2005, the owner of the bridge, New
York State Department of
Transportation, requested a temporary
test deviation for an alternate
drawbridge operation regulation;
however, it was never followed up with
a rulemaking. The bridge owner
assumed since the temporary test
deviation was a success, new signage
reflecting the temporary deviation was
installed and the bridge has been
operating under that temporary test
deviation for the past 15 years. After a
recent construction operation
commenced, the bridge operator began
operating the bridge under the existing
regulation. USCG Sector Long Island
Sound received several complaints from
mariners who were upset the bridge was
no longer operating under the old
temporary test deviation. We have
implemented a new temporary test
deviation for this proposed rule change.
Based on the data that was provided by
the bridge owner, the number of
requested bridge openings has
decreased over the years, while the
vehicular traffic has increased. The
schedule restricts bridge openings
during vehicular rush hours, allowing
openings twice per hour. This schedule
allows less congestion buildup of
vehicular traffic while providing

IV. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed rule after
considering numerous statutes and
Executive Orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes and Executive
Orders and we discuss First
Amendment rights of protestors.
A. Regulatory Planning and Review
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
direct agencies to assess the costs and
benefits of available regulatory
alternatives and, if regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory
approaches that maximize net benefits.
Executive Order 13771 directs agencies
to control regulatory costs through a
budgeting process. This NPRM has not
been designated a ‘‘significant
regulatory action,’’ under Executive
Order 12866. Accordingly, the NPRM
has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) and
pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive
Order 13771.
This regulatory action determination
is based on the ability that vessels can
still transit the bridge given advanced
notice.
B. Impact on Small Entities
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980
(RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended,
requires federal agencies to consider the
potential impact of regulations on small
entities during rulemaking. The term
‘‘small entities’’ comprises small
businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and
operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions
with populations of less than 50,000.

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 of the earth within a 6-mile
radius of Sleetmute Airport, Sleetmute, AK, and that airspace 2 miles
each side of the 166[deg] bearing from the 6-mile radius to 19 miles
south of the airport.
Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11D, dated August 8, 2019, and effective September 15,
2019, 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.
