§ 39.13
[Amended]
2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding
the following new airworthiness
directive:
■
2022–17–13 Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A.:
Amendment 39–22151; Docket No.
FAA–2022–0397; Project Identifier
MCAI–2021–01354–A.
(a) Effective Date
This airworthiness directive (AD) is
effective October 11, 2022.
(b) Affected ADs
None.
(c) Applicability
This AD applies to Piaggio Aero Industries
S.p.A. Model P–180 airplanes, serial number
(S/N) 1002 and S/Ns 1105 through 3010
inclusive, certificated in any category.
(d) Subject
Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)
Code 3417, Air Data Computer.
(e) Unsafe Condition
This AD was prompted by mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
originated by an aviation authority of another
country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI
identifies the unsafe condition as altimetry
system errors in the air data computers
(ADCs) and stand-by instrument systems.
The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent a
mean altimetry system error measurement
from exceeding the limits defined for
operations within airspace designed as
reduced vertical separation minimum
(RVSM) airspace. The unsafe condition, if not
addressed, could result in a potential mid-air
collision within RVSM airspace.

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 the 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 modifies the
route structure as necessary to preserve
the safe and efficient flow of air traffic
within the NAS.
History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA–2022–0475, in the Federal
Register (87 FR 27956; May 10, 2022)
establishing six RNAV T-routes in the
northeast United States to support the
VOR MON Program. Interested parties
were invited to participate in this
rulemaking effort by submitting written
comments on the proposal. No
comments were received.
United States RNAV T-routes are
published in paragraph 6011 of FAA
Order JO 7400.11F, dated August 10,
2021, and effective September 15, 2021,
which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The RNAV routes listed in
this document will be subsequently
published in FAA Order JO 7400.11.
jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with RULES
Difference From the NPRM
The FAA proposed to establish six
RNAV T routes. However, subsequent to
the NPRM, the FAA determined that
further coordination is required on
routes T–428, T–434, and T–436 before
they can be implemented. Therefore,
those three routes are removed from this
rule and will be implemented at a later
date under a separate docket. This rule
establishes only T–416, T–430, and T–
438 as proposed.
Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document amends FAA Order JO
7400.11F, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 10,
2021, and effective September 15, 2021.

FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly
available as listed in the ADDRESSES
section of this document. FAA Order JO
7400.11F lists Class A, B, C, D, and E
airspace areas, air traffic service routes,
and reporting points.
The Rule
This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by
establishing three low altitude RNAV Troutes, designated T–416, T–430, and
T–438, in the northeast United States to
support the VOR MON Program.
T–416: T–416 extends between the
Smyrna, DE (ENO), VHF
Omnidirectional Range and Tactical Air
Navigational System (VORTAC) and the
PREPI, OA, Fix (OA means ‘‘Offshore
Atlantic’’). The route overlays VOR
Federal airway V–312 between the
ALBEK, NJ, Fix, and the PREPI Fix. At
the PREPI Fix, T–416 connects with the
oceanic route structure.
T–430: T–430 extends between the
Philipsburg, PA (PSB), VORTAC, and
the Solberg, NJ (SBJ), VOR/DME. The
route overlays airway V–30 between the
Philipsburg VORTAC and the Solberg
VOR/DME.
T–438: T–438 extends between the
RASHE, PA, Fix, and the PREPI, OA,
Fix. It overlays airway V–276 between
the RASHE Fix and the PREPI Fix.
FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on
September 15.
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. It, therefore: (1) is not a
‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a
‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of
Transportation (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 only affects air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when
promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Environmental Review

action of establishing three low altitude
RNAV T-routes, designated T–416, T–
430, and T–438, in the northeast United

States, in support of efforts transitioning
the NAS from ground-based to satellitebased navigation, qualifies for
categorical exclusion under the National
Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C.
4321 et seq.) and its implementing
regulations at 40 CFR part 1500, and in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F,
Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures, paragraph 5–6.5a, which
categorically excludes from further
environmental impact review
rulemaking actions that designate or
modify classes of airspace areas,
airways, routes, and reporting points
(see 14 CFR part 71, Designation of
Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas;
Air Traffic Service Routes; and
Reporting Points). As such, this action
is not expected to result in any
potentially significant environmental
impacts. In accordance with FAA Order
1050.1F, paragraph 5–2 regarding
Extraordinary Circumstances, the FAA
has reviewed this action for factors and
circumstances in which a normally
categorically excluded action may have
a significant environmental impact
requiring further analysis. Accordingly,
the FAA has determined that no
extraordinary circumstances exist that
warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment or
environmental impact study.

ACTION: Direct final rule.
AGENCY:
In September 2017, the U.S.
Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC or Commission) published a
consumer product safety standard for
infant bouncer seats under section 104
of the Consumer Product Safety
Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA). The
standard incorporated by reference the
ASTM voluntary standard for infant
bouncer seats that had been adopted
earlier in 2017 and was in effect at the
time. ASTM updated the mandatory
standard for infant bouncer seats in
2019 and again in 2022. Consistent with
the CPSIA’s process for updating
mandatory standards for durable infant
or toddler products that are based on a
voluntary standard, when the voluntary
standards organization revises the
standard, this direct final rule updates
the mandatory standard for infant
bouncer seats to incorporate by

requires the Commission to assess the
effectiveness of voluntary standards for
durable infant or toddler products and
to adopt mandatory standards for these
products. 15 U.S.C. 2056a(b)(1). A
mandatory standard must be
‘‘substantially the same as’’ the
corresponding voluntary standard, or it
may be ‘‘more stringent than’’ the
voluntary standard, if the Commission
determines that more stringent
requirements would further reduce the
risk of injury associated with the
product. Id.

efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it modifies the route structure as necessary to preserve
the safe and efficient flow of air traffic within the NAS.
History
The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA-2022-0475, in the Federal Register (87 FR 27956; May 10, 2022)
establishing six RNAV T-routes in the northeast United States to
support the VOR MON Program. Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on
the proposal. No comments were received.
United States RNAV T-routes are published in paragraph 6011 of FAA
Order JO 7400.11F, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September 15,
2021, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The RNAV
routes listed in this document will be subsequently published in FAA
Order JO 7400.11.
Difference From the NPRM
The FAA proposed to establish six RNAV T routes. However,
subsequent to the NPRM, the FAA determined that further coordination is
required on routes T-428, T-434, and T-436 before they can be
implemented. Therefore, those three routes are removed from this rule
and will be implemented at a later date under a separate docket. This
rule establishes only T-416, T-430, and T-438 as proposed.
Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document amends FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace Designations
and Reporting Points, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September
15, 2021. FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F lists Class
A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.
The Rule
This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by establishing three low
altitude RNAV T-routes, designated T-416, T-430, and T-438, in the
northeast United States to support the VOR MON Program.
T-416: T-416 extends between the Smyrna, DE (ENO), VHF
Omnidirectional Range and Tactical Air Navigational System (VORTAC) and
the PREPI, OA, Fix (OA means ``Offshore Atlantic''). The route overlays
VOR Federal airway V-312 between the ALBEK, NJ, Fix, and the PREPI Fix.
At the PREPI Fix, T-416 connects with the oceanic route structure.
T-430: T-430 extends between the Philipsburg, PA (PSB), VORTAC, and
the Solberg, NJ (SBJ), VOR/DME. The route overlays airway V-30 between
the Philipsburg VORTAC and the Solberg VOR/DME.
T-438: T-438 extends between the RASHE, PA, Fix, and the PREPI, OA,
Fix. It overlays airway V-276 between the RASHE Fix and the PREPI Fix.
FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
is published yearly and effective on September 15.
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.
It, therefore: (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
Department of Transportation (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 only affects air traffic procedures
and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated,
does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this action of establishing three low
altitude RNAV T-routes, designated T-416, T-430, and T-438, in the
northeast United States, in support of efforts transitioning the NAS
from ground-based to satellite-based navigation, qualifies for
categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and its implementing regulations at 40 CFR part
1500, and in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts:
Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5-6.5a, which categorically excludes
from further environmental impact review rulemaking actions that
designate or modify classes of airspace areas, airways, routes, and
reporting points (see 14 CFR part 71, Designation of Class A, B, C, D,
and E Airspace Areas; Air Traffic Service Routes; and Reporting
Points). As such, this action is not expected to result in any
potentially significant environmental impacts. In accordance with FAA
Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5-2 regarding Extraordinary Circumstances, the
FAA has reviewed this action for factors and circumstances in which a
normally categorically excluded action may have a significant
environmental impact requiring further analysis. Accordingly, the FAA
has determined that no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant
preparation of an environmental assessment or environmental impact
study.
