Standard Airworthiness Certification of New Aircraft
The FAA is proposing language to supplement a proposal published in the Federal Register on February 15, 2005. This action is necessary to include in the proposal a provision from the recently enacted Safe, Accountable, Flexible, and Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users. The supplemental language allows a person to manufacture one new aircraft based on a type certificate without holding the type certificate or having a licensing agreement from the type certificate holder, provided the manufacturing began before August 5, 2004.
Supplemental Oxygen
In this direct final rule, the FAA is amending its regulation on the use of pilot supplemental oxygen. The amendment changes the flight level at which the remaining pilot at the controls of the airplane must put on and use his oxygen mask if the other pilot at any time leaves his control station of the airplane. This amendment revises that altitude to ``above flight level 350'' from ``above flight level 250.'' It will also eliminate the needless use of oxygen that is not otherwise required to provide for safety in air carrier operations. This will reduce needless expenditures to replace oxygen equipment that is subject to excessive wear and tear.
Withdrawal of Proposed Rulemaking Action; Fees and Charges for Special Services
This document withdraws an Office of the Secretary (OST) notice of proposed rulemaking that proposed to update the fees and charges paid by recipients of certain aviation licensing and related services provided by the Department. The proposal was predicated on specific labor and overhead cost studies and data that, with the passage of time and organizational changes within OST, have been rendered stale, greatly reducing their utility as bases for cost-based fees and charges.
Investigation into the Practices of the National Classification Committee
The Board is extending, by 14 days, the deadline for filing the comments requested in its decision served on October 13, 2005, and published in the Federal Register on October 19, 2005, at 70 FR 60881- 82.
Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier Model CL-600-1A11 (CL-600), CL-600-2A12 (CL-601), and CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A, CL-601-3R, and CL-604) Airplanes
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier Model CL-600-1A11 (CL-600), CL-600-2A12 (CL- 601), and CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A, CL-601-3R, & CL-604) airplanes. This proposed AD would require modifying the rudder balance spring assembly by installing a new adjustable balance spring, and rigging the assembly to suit the rudder of each airplane. This proposed AD results from production inspections that showed that the spring assembly that controls rudder balance may not have the correct pre-load on some airplanes. We are proposing this AD to prevent uncommanded yaw movements and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A319-100 and A320-200 Series Airplanes
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Model A319-100 and A320-200 series airplanes. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections of the wing-tank fuel pumps, canisters, and wing fuel tanks for detached identification labels, and corrective action if necessary. This proposed AD results from several incidents of detached plastic identification labels found floating in the wing fuel tanks. We are proposing this AD to prevent plastic identification labels being ingested into the fuel pumps and consequently entering the engine fuel feed system, which could result in an engine shutdown.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A319-100, A320-200, A321-100, and A321-200 Series Airplanes
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Model A319-100, A320-200, A321-100, and A321-200 series airplanes. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections for corrosion in the inside and outside lower walls of each type A, D, E, and F lavatory wall that has at least one wall-mounted cabin attendant seat, and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. The repetitive inspections may be terminated by repairing the wall with composite material, or replacing the entire wall with a new wall made of composite material. This proposed AD results from reports of corrosion in the lower part of the lavatory walls due to water ingress. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct corrosion and damage on the lower part of the lavatory walls, which could compromise the structural integrity of the cabin attendant seat attachments, and cause injury to the cabin attendants during a crash landing.
Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Corporation (formerly Allison Engine Company, Allison Gas Turbine Division, and Detroit Diesel Allison) 250-B and 250-C Series Turboprop and Turboshaft Engines
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Rolls-Royce Corporation 250-B and 250-C series turboprop and turboshaft engines with certain part numbers (P/Ns) of gas producer rotor assembly tie bolts manufactured by EXTEX Ltd., Pacific Sky Supply Inc., Rolls-Royce Corporation (RRC), and Superior Air Parts Inc. This proposed AD would require operators to remove from service affected gas producer rotor assembly tie bolts. This proposed AD results from eleven reports of RRC tie bolt failure due to high cycle fatigue. We are proposing this AD to prevent tie bolt failure that could cause loss of engine power, resulting in a first stage turbine wheel overspeed and an uncontained engine failure.

Receipt of Noise Compatibility Program and Request for Review; Vero Beach Municipal Airport, Vero Beach, FL
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces that it is reviewing a proposed noise compatibility program that was submitted for Vero Beach Municipal Airport under provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47501 et. seq (the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act hereinafter referred to as ``the Act'') and 14 CFR part 150 by the city of Vero Beach, Florida. This program was submitted subsequent to a determination by AA that the associated noise exposure maps submitted under 14 CFR part 150 for Vero Beach Airport were in compliance with applicable requirements effective October 28, 2003. The proposed noise compatibility program will be approved or disapproved on or before May 1, 2006.
Proposed Establishment of Class E5 Airspace; Hill City, KS
This notice proposes to establish Class E5 airspace at Hill City, KS.
Modification of Class E Airspace; Kennett, MO
This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations, part 71 (14 CFR 71) by modifying Class E airspace at Kennett, MO. The establishment of Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) Instrument Approach Procedures (IAP) to Runway 2 and Runway 20 has made this action necessary. Additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface is needed to contain aircraft executing these IAPs. The intended effect of this rule is to provide adequate controlled airspace for Instrument Flight Rules operations at Kennett Memorial Airport, Kennett, MO.
