Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Model 737-100 and -200 Series Airplanes
This action withdraws a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that proposed a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Model 737-100 and -200 series airplanes. That action would have superseded an existing AD that requires various inspections for cracks in the outboard chord of the frame at body station (BS) 727 and in the outboard chord of stringer 18A; and repair or replacement of cracked parts. That action also would have added inspections for certain airplanes, revised certain compliance times for all airplanes, and added airplanes to the applicability. Since the issuance of the supplemental NPRM, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has received revised service information that will significantly change the requirements proposed by the supplemental NPRM. Accordingly, the proposed rule is withdrawn.
Temporary Exclusion of the Assessment of Overflight Fees for Humanitarian Flights Related to the January 12, 2010, Earthquake in Haiti
On January 12, 2010, the nation of Haiti was hit by a devastating earthquake near the heaviest populated part of the country, its capital, Port-au-Prince. Within hours, there was a significant increase in the volume of air traffic in the area as the world responded with many types of emergency relief and assistance. Since the FAA is the International Civil Aviation Organization-designated provider of air navigation services in much of the Caribbean just north of Haiti and north and east of the Dominican Republic, many of these humanitarian flights go through U.S.-controlled airspace and incur charges by the FAA (known as ``Overflight Fees'') for the air navigation services provided. This Notice advises all concerned of the determination by the FAA to exclude temporarily from its Overflight Fee bills any charges for humanitarian flights responding to the earthquake in Haiti.
Proposed Revision of Class E Airspace; Kulik Lake, AK
This action proposes to revise Class E airspace at Kulik Lake, AK. This action would correct an error in the legal description of the Kulik Lake airspace description, which makes this action necessary to enhance safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations.
Public Meeting on Future Policy and Rulemaking for Normal, Utility, Acrobatic, and Commuter Category Small Airplanes
The FAA Small Airplane Directorate is issuing this notice to advise the public of a meeting to discuss ideas for future policy and rulemaking for small airplanes. We are attempting to determine the adequacy of the current airworthiness standards thoughout a small airplane's service life while anticipating future requirements. The outcome could affect the next 20 years of small airplane design, certification, and operations.
Notice on Petition for Waiver of the Terms of the Order Limiting Scheduled Operations at LaGuardia Airport
The Secretary and the FAA are granting, subject to conditions, the joint waiver request of Delta Air Lines and US Airways from the prohibition on purchasing operating authorizations (``slots'' or ``slot interests'') at LaGuardia Airport (LGA). The grant permits the carriers to consummate a transaction in which Delta would transfer 42 pairs of slot interests to US Airways at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), international route authorities to S[atilde]o Paulo and Tokyo; and terminal space at the Marine Air Terminal at LGA. US Airways would transfer 125 pairs of slot interests to Delta at LGA, and would lease an additional 15 pairs of LGA slot interests with a purchase option, together with terminal space in LGA's Terminal C. The grant is subject to the conditions that the carriers dispose of 14 pairs of slot interests at DCA and 20 pairs of slot interests at LGA to eligible new entrant and limited incumbent carriers, pursuant to procedures set out in this Notice, and achieve a mutually satisfactory agreement regarding gates and associated facilities with any such purchaser.
Office of Hazardous Materials Safety; Notice of Applications for Modification of Special Permit
In accordance with the procedures governing the application for, and the processing of, special permits from the Department of Transportation's Hazardous Material Regulations (49 CFR part 107, subpart B), notice is hereby given that the Office of Hazardous Materials Safety has received the applications described herein. This notice is abbreviated to expedite docketing and public notice. Because the sections affected, modes of transportation, and the nature of application have been shown in earlier Federal Register publications, they are not repeated here. Requests for modification of special permits (e.g. to provide for additional hazardous materials, packaging design changes, additional mode of transportation, etc.) are described in footnotes to the application number. Application numbers with the suffix ``M'' denote a modification request. These applications have been separated from the new application for special permits to facilitate processing.
Procedures for Transportation Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing Programs
The Department of Transportation is proposing only to extend the date for the mandatory use of our recently updated Alcohol Testing Form (ATF) to January 1, 2011. The revised ATF went into effect on February 25, 2010 with a mandatory use date of August 1, 2010. After publishing the February 25 revisions, we learned that vendors and users of the ATF will not be able to deplete their current supply of ATFs by August 1, 2010. Therefore, in order to assist the transportation industries and their service agents in their efforts to be economically efficient and more environmentally ``green,'' we are seeking public comment to extend the mandatory use date to January 1, 2011.
