Department of Transportation March 8, 2007 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that a revised record of decision (ROD) has been made for the West 11th Street to Garfield Street, Florence-Eugene-Highway Final Environmental Impact Statement. This notice also announces actions taken by the FHWA that are final agency actions within the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). These final agency actions relate to a proposed highway project, West 11th Street to Garfield Street, Florence-Eugene Highway in Lane County, Oregon where the revised ROD amends FHWA's April 16, 1990 ROD that had selected Alternative 1 Modified, and selects the no-build alternative. The Final Environmental Impact Statement was approved and published by FHWA in January 1990 and a ROD was issued on April 16, 1990. This revised ROD amends FHWA's April 16, 1990 ROD that had selected Alternative 1 Modified, and selects the no-build alternative. In large part, FHWA selects the no-build alternative in the revised ROD based on: public and resource agency input, including the Oregon DOT; a Lane Council of Governments resolution; and, a conflict assessment report prepared by FHWA and the City of Eugene. While the no-build does not satisfy an existing transportation need in the area, selecting the no- build alternative is in the best overall public interest at this time.

This document makes a correction to Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2007-04-01, which was published in the Federal Register on February 14, 2007 (72 FR 6931), and applies to certain Pacific Aerospace Corporation Ltd Model 750XL airplanes. AD 2007-04-01 requires that you inspect the rivets in the fuselage roof at STN 180.85, BL 19.67, WL 86.2, and replace undersize rivets. Current language in Sec. 39.13 [Amended] of AD 2007-04-01 references ``* * *'' instead of ``2007-04-01.'' This document corrects that paragraph by changing the reference from ``* * *'' to ``2007-04-01.''

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as the finding of an improper geometry of some pulley brackets, which can offset the cable in the sheave. We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

This technical amendment corrects a final rule published in the Federal Register on July 24, 2006 (71 FR 41728), Docket No. FAA- 2006-23926, Airspace Docket No. 06-AAL-10. In that rule, the reference to FAA Order 7400.9 was published as FAA Order 7400.9O. The correct reference is FAA Order 7400.9P. Also, the corresponding effective date that refers to the Order should state `` * * * September 15, 2006'', instead of `` * * * September 16, 2006''. This technical amendment corrects those errors.

This technical amendment corrects a final rule published in the Federal Register on June 30, 2006 (71 FR 37492), Docket No. FAA- 2005-225010, Airspace Docket No. 06-AAL-17. In that rule, the reference to FAA Order 7400.9 was published as FAA Order 7400.9O. The correct reference is FAA Order 7400.9P. This technical amendment corrects those errors.

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Model A319, A320, and A321 airplanes. This AD requires installing spacer assemblies at the attachment points of the YZ-latches of the cargo loading system in the forward and aft cargo compartments, as applicable. This AD results from tests that have shown that the attachment points of the YZ-latches of the cargo loading system fail under maximum loads. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the attachment points of the YZ-latches, which could result in unrestrained cargo causing damage to the fire protection system, hydraulic system, electrical wiring, or other equipment located in the forward and aft cargo compartments. This damage could adversely affect the continued safe flight of the airplane.

The FAA is revising an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Boeing Model 737-600, -700, -700C, and -800 series airplanes. That AD currently requires inspecting/measuring the length of the attachment fasteners between the nacelle support fittings and the lower wing skin panels, and related investigative/corrective actions if necessary. That AD resulted from a report from the manufacturer that in production, during the installation of certain attachment fasteners for the nacelle support fittings, only one washer was installed instead of two. This new AD corrects errors found in the existing AD. We are issuing this AD to prevent inadequate fastener clamp-up, which could result in cracking of the fastener holes, cracking along the lower wing skin panels, fuel leaking from the wing fuel tanks onto the engines, and possible fire.

This notice announces the bi-annual meeting of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Aeronautical Charting Forum (ACF) to discuss informational content and design of aeronautical charts and related products, as well as instrument flight procedures development policy and design criteria.
