Projects of National and Regional Significance Evaluation and Rating
Section 1301 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) (Pub. L. 109-59; 119 Stat. 1144) established a program to provide grants to States for Projects of National and Regional Significance (PNRS) to improve the safe, secure, and efficient movement of people and goods throughout the United States and to improve the health and welfare of the national economy. Section 1301 requires the Secretary of Transportation (Secretary) to establish regulations on the manner in which the proposed projects will be evaluated and rated, in order to determine which projects shall receive grant funding. This proposed rule would establish the required evaluation and rating guidelines for proposed projects. If this rule were adopted, a proposed project would become eligible to be funded under this program only if the Secretary finds that the project meets the requirements of the rule. In making such findings, the Secretary will evaluate and rate each project as ``highly recommended,'' ``recommended,'' or ``not recommended'' based on the results of preliminary engineering, the project justification criteria, and the degree of non-Federal financial commitment.
Airworthiness Directives; Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER) Model EMB-135 and EMB-145, -145ER, -145MR, -145LR, -145XR, -145MP, and -145EP Airplanes
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all EMBRAER Model EMB-135 and EMB-145, -145ER, -145MR, -145LR, - 145XR, -145MP, and -145EP airplanes. This proposed AD would require inspecting the fuel quantity indication system (FQIS) wire harness and the DC fuel pump wire harness to determine if the harnesses are properly attached at their respective attachment points and properly separated from one another, and performing corrective actions if necessary. This proposed AD results from a report that the FQIS wire harness may not be properly attached at its attachment points or properly separated from the DC fuel pump wire harness. We are proposing this AD to prevent chafing between those harnesses or chafing of the harnesses against adjacent airplane structure or components, which could present a potential ignition source that could result in a fire or explosion.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A310 Airplanes
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Model A310 airplanes. This proposed AD would require revising the Limitations section of the airplane flight manual by incorporating restrictions for high altitude operations. This proposed AD results from several incidents of pitch oscillations with high vertical loads that occurred during turbulence at high altitudes. We are proposing this AD to prevent pitch oscillations during turbulence, which could result in reduced controllability of the airplane.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A310-200 and -300 Series Airplanes
The FAA withdraws a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that proposed a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Model A310-200 and -300 series airplanes. The proposed AD would have required repetitive inspections for cracks and corrosion of the areas behind the scuff plates below the passenger/crew doors and bulk cargo door, and repair of any cracked or corroded part. The proposed AD also would have required repetitive inspections for cracks of the holes of the corner doublers, the fail-safe ring, and the door frames of the passenger/crew door structures. Since the proposed AD was issued, we have determined that that the proposed inspections and terminating action are essentially identical to those of another existing AD. Accordingly, the proposed AD is withdrawn.
Amendment to Class E Airspace; Kalispell, MT
This action revises the Class E airspace at Kalispell, MT. Additional controlled airspace is necessary for the safety of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) aircraft executing the published Instrument Landing System (ILS) approach procedures to the newly extended runway at Kalispell/Glacier Park International Airport, Kalispell, MT.
Revision of Class E Airspace; Pinedale, WY
This final rule will revise the Class E airspace at Pinedale, WY. Additional controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate aircraft executing a new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) approach procedure at Pinedale/Ralph Wenz Field. This action will improve the safety of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) aircraft executing this new procedure at Pinedale/Ralph Wenz Field, Pinedale, WY.
Modification of the Norton Sound Low Offshore Airspace Area; AK
This action amends the Norton Sound Low Offshore Airspace Area in Alaska. Specifically, this action modifies the Norton Sound Low Offshore Airspace Area in the vicinity of the Shishmaref Airport, AK, by lowering the offshore airspace floor to 1,200 feet mean sea level (MSL) within a 30-mile radius of the airport. Additionally, this action modifies the airspace in the vicinity of Nome Airport, AK, by lowering the airspace floor to 700 feet MSL within a 25-mile radius of the airport, and 1,200 feet MSL within a 77.4-mile radius of the Nome VORTAC. The FAA is taking this action to provide additional controlled airspace for aircraft instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the Nome and Shishmaref Airports.
Approval of Noise Compatibility Program for Harrisburg International Airport, Middletown, PA
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its findings on the noise compatibility program submitted by the Susquehanna Area Regional Airport Authority (SARAA) under the provisions of Title I of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act, as amended, (Public Law 96-193) (hereinafter referred to as ``the Act'') and 14 CFR Part 150. These findings are made in recognition of the description of Federal and nonfederal responsibilities in Senate Report No. 96-52 (1980). On January 13, 2006, the FAA determined that the noise exposure maps submitted by the SARAA under part 150 were in compliance with applicable requirements.
Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement and Hold Scoping Meetings for Federal Aviation Administration Approval of Airline Operations Specifications To Accommodate Proposed Scheduled Air Service Into Mammoth Yosemite Airport, Mammoth Lakes, CA
The FAA is issuing this notice to advise the public that an EIS will be prepared for the proposed approval of Operation Specifications for Horizon Air to provide commercial airline service with regional jets into Mammoth Yosemite Airport, Mammoth Lakes, California utilizing Bombardier DHC-8-402 (Q400). The establishment of scheduled commercial service into Mammoth Yosemite Airport also necessitates a change in the airport's 14 CFR Part 139 Certification from Class IV to Class I. If the FAA determines the potential environmental impacts of the proposed actions are not significant, FAA may consider, after public notification and agency coordination, completing the NEPA process for this proposal as an Environmental Assessment and issuing a Finding of No Significant Impact and Record of Decision. To ensure that all significant issues related to the proposed action are identified, one (1) public scoping meeting and one (1) governmental and public agency scoping meeting will be held.
