Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 116 / Friday, June 14, 2024 / Rules and Regulations
FAA–2023–2003; Project Identifier AD–
2022–01620–T.
(a) Effective Date
This airworthiness directive (AD) is
effective July 19, 2024.
(b) Affected ADs
None.
(c) Applicability
This AD applies to The Boeing Company
Model 757–200, –200PF, –200CB, and –300
series airplanes, certificated in any category,
as identified in Boeing Alert Requirements
Bulletin 757–25A0319 RB, dated March 24,
2023.
(d) Subject
Air Transport Association (ATA) of
America Code 25, Equipment/Furnishings.
(e) Unsafe Condition
This AD was prompted by reports that
operators have found, on multiple aircraft,
frequent and severe damage to the blowout
vent grilles throughout the lower lobe cargo
compartment. The FAA is issuing this AD to
address damage to the blowout vent grilles in
the forward and aft lower lobe cargo
compartments that could lead to latent
failure of the decompression panels and
pressure equalization valves. This latent
failure, in combination with a fire, could
make the cargo fire protection, detection,
suppression, and containment system
ineffective. Also, this latent failure, in
combination with rapid decompression of the
airplane, could prevent activation of the
station (STA) 1640 decompression panels,
which could damage the STA 1640 floor
beam and cause loss of hydraulic systems
components and flight control and damage to
the auxiliary power unit (APU) fuel line. This
unsafe condition, if not addressed, could
result in the inability of the flightcrew to
maintain safe flight and landing.

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 establishes
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at Wilder
Airport, Desmet, SD, to support IFR
operations at this airport.

History
The FAA published an NPRM for
Docket No. FAA–2023–2503 in the
Federal Register (88 FR 88552;
December 22, 2023) proposing to
establish Class E airspace at Desmet, SD.
Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the
proposal to the FAA. No comments
were received.
Incorporation by Reference
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order JO 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. This
document amends the current version of
that order, FAA Order JO 7400.11H,
dated August 11, 2023, and effective
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:11 Jun 13, 2024
Jkt 262001
September 15, 2023. FAA Order JO
7400.11H is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this
document. These amendments will be
published in the next update to FAA
Order JO 7400.11.
FAA Order JO 7400.11H lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic
service routes, and reporting points.
The Rule
This amendment to 14 CFR part 71
establishes Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
to within a 7-mile radius of Wilder
Airport, Desmet, SD.
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 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 qualifies for categorical exclusion
under the National Environmental
Policy Act in accordance with FAA
Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental
Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’
paragraph 5–6.5.a. This airspace action
is not expected to cause any potentially
significant environmental impacts, and
no extraordinary circumstances exist
that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

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

in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of

use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it establishes Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Wilder Airport, Desmet, SD, to support IFR operations at

History
The FAA published an NPRM for Docket No. FAA-2023-2503 in the

Incorporation by Reference
Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. This
document amends the current version of that order, FAA Order JO

Order JO 7400.11H is publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES
section of this document. These amendments will be published in the
next update to FAA Order JO 7400.11.
FAA Order JO 7400.11H lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting points.
The Rule
This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 establishes Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to within a 7-mile
radius of Wilder Airport, Desmet, SD.
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 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 qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5.a. This airspace action is not expected
to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
