Real-Time System Management Information Program
This notice requests comments on provisions and parameters for the Real-Time System Management Information Program contained in section 1201 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). This notice provides a high-level description of the program as envisioned by the FHWA, including proposed definitions for various program parameters.
Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG Tay 650-15 and Tay 651-54 Turbofan Engines
The FAA proposes to supersede an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG (RRD) Tay 650-15 turbofan engines. That AD currently establishes cyclic life limits for certain part number (P/N) stage 1 high pressure turbine (HPT) discs and stage 1 (LPT) discs operating under certain flight plan profiles. This proposed AD would add Tay 651-54 turbofan engines to the applicability. This proposed AD would also require removing certain stage 1 HPT discs and stage 1 LPT discs at reduced cyclic life limits using a drawdown schedule. This proposed AD results from RRD updating their low-cycle- fatigue (LCF) analysis for stage 1 HPT discs and stage 1 LPT discs and reducing their cyclic life limits. We are proposing this AD to prevent cracks leading to turbine disc failure, which could result in an uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.
Proposed Revision of Class E Airspace; Eagle, CO
This action proposes to revise Class E airspace at Eagle, CO. Additional controlled airspace is necessary for the safety of aircraft executing the new Instrument Landing System or Localizer Distance Measuring Equipment (ILS or LOC.DME) Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAP) and Flight Management System (FMS) SIAP at Eagle County Regional Airport.
Agency Information Collection Activities; Request for Comments; Changes to a Currently Approved Information Collection for Highway Safety Improvement Programs
The FHWA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) approval for changes to a currently approved information collection titled Highway Safety Improvement Programs, which is summarized below under supplementary Information. FHWA is required to publish this notice in the Federal Register by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
Notice of Cancellation of Environmental Impact Statement for the Dayton International Airport, Dayton, OH
On July 31, 2001, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Great Lakes Region, published in the Federal Register a Notice of Intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and hold a Public Scoping Meeting at Dayton International Airport (Volume 66, Number 135, FR 36821-36822). The EIS and Public Scoping Meeting were to address proposed runway shifts and extensions to runways 6R/24L and 18/ 36 at the airport. Three public scoping meetings were held on August 14, 15, and 16, 2001. Additional workshops to discuss purpose and need were held on June 4 and 5, 2002. On March 20, 2006 the FAA received notification from the Dayton International Airport that it wished to cancel the EIS. As such, the FAA is hereby canceling the EIS process. Point of Contact: Mr. Brad Davidson, Environmental Protection Specialist, FAA Great Lakes Region, Detroit Airports District Office, 11677 South Wayne Road, Suite 107, Romulus, MI 48174 (734) 229-2900.
Special Conditions: Sabreliner Model NA-265-60; High Intensity Radiated Fields (HIRF)
These special conditions are issued for Sabreliner Model NA- 265-60 airplanes. These airplanes will have novel and unusual design features when compared to the state of technology envisioned in the airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes. The modification incorporates the installation of dual Honeywell Model AM- 250 digital altimeters. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for the protection of these systems from the effects of high-intensity radiated fields (HIRF). These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that provided by the existing airworthiness standards.
Modification of Restricted Areas R-3002A, B, C, D, E and F; and Establishment of Restricted Area R-3002G; Fort Benning, GA
This action modifies the boundaries of the Restricted Area R- 3002 range complex at Fort Benning, GA. The U.S. Army requested these modifications as a result of a land exchange agreement between Fort Benning and the City of Columbus, GA. In addition, a portion of the southwest section of R-3002, within the existing restricted airspace, is redesignated as a separate restricted area, R-3002G, to better accommodate instrument approach procedures at Lawson Army Air Field (AAF). The internal boundaries between restricted area subdivisions are also realigned slightly to permit more efficient scheduling and utilization of the range complex. Finally, the names of the controlling agency and using agency for the restricted areas are changed to reflect their current titles.
Safety Advisory 2006-03
FRA is issuing Safety Advisory 2006-03, in order to provide interested parties information related to the potential failure of the welded attachment of vertical load dividers on certain center beam lumber flat cars. The welded attachment of the vertical load dividers on these cars can break away from the car body structure. The vertical load dividers are hollow square tubular steel beams approximately eight (8) feet in height that are welded to the car body structure. The vertical beams serve as load dividers for packaged lumber products.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R Series Airplanes, and Model C4-605R Variant F Airplanes (Collectively Called A300-600 Series Airplanes); and Model A310-200 and A310-300 Series Airplanes
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Model A300-600, A310-200, and A310-300 series airplanes. This AD requires modifying the forward outflow valve of the pressure regulation subsystem. This AD results from a report of accidents resulting in injuries occurring on in-service airplanes when crewmembers forcibly initiated opening of passenger/crew doors against residual pressure, causing the doors to rapidly open. In these accidents, the buildup of residual pressure in the cabin was caused by the blockage of the outflow valve by an insulation blanket. We are issuing this AD to prevent an insulation blanket or other debris from being ingested into and jamming the forward outflow valve of the pressure regulation subsystem, which could lead to the inability to control cabin pressurization and adversely affect continued safe flight of the airplane.
Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, Weather Takeoff Minimums; Miscellaneous Amendments
This amendment establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and/or Weather Takeoff Minimums for operations at certain airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational facilities, addition of new obstacles, or changes in air traffic requirements. These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under instrument flight rules at the affected airports.
