Department of Transportation May 20, 2019 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This action removes Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Morgan City, LA. This action due to the cancellation of the standard instrument approach procedures at the heliport making the airspace no longer necessary.

The Federal Aviation Administration is requesting public comment on a request by the City of Tallahassee to change a portion of airport property from aeronautical to non-aeronautical use at the Tallahassee International Airport, Tallahassee City, Florida. The request consists of approximately 317.37 acres of vacant property located on the western side of the airport property boundary. Present fair market value of the property is $157,098 annually. Documents reflecting the Sponsor's request are available, by appointment only, for inspection at the Tallahassee International Airport and the FAA Airports District Office.

In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this notice announces that the Information Collection Requirements (ICRs) abstracted below have been forwarded to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and comment. The ICR describe the nature of the information collection and their expected burdens. The Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collections of information was published on March 7, 2019 (84 FR 8398).

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Airbus Helicopters Model AS332C, AS332C1, AS332L, and AS332L1 helicopters. This AD requires inspecting the jettisoning mechanism of the left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) cabin sliding plug doors. This AD is prompted by a report that during a scheduled inspection a cabin door failed to jettison. The actions of this AD are intended to correct an unsafe condition on these products.

We propose to supersede airworthiness directive (AD) 2008-22- 24 which applies to certain Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211-535E4-37, RB211- 535E4-B-37, and RB211-535E4-B-75 model turbofan engines. AD 2008-22-24 requires initial and repetitive ultrasonic inspections of installed low-pressure compressor (LPC) fan blade roots on-wing and during overhaul, and relubrication according to accumulated life cycles. Since we issued AD 2008-22-24, RR determined the need to expand the inspections to engines operating under additional flight profiles and to extend the inspection intervals for certain affected engines. This proposed AD would require initial and repetitive inspections to detect cracks on the installed LPC fan blade roots on-wing or at engine overhaul. We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all International Aero Engines AG (IAE) V2525-D5 and V2528-D5 model turbofan engines. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of cracked turbine exhaust cases (TECs). This proposed AD would require initial and repetitive inspections of the affected TEC and, depending on the results of the inspections, its replacement with a part eligible for installation. We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

This action proposes to amend Class E airspace areas extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth at Lakeland/Nobel F. Lee Memorial Field Airport in Minocqua-Woodruff, WI. The FAA is proposing this action as the result of an airspace review caused by the decommissioning of the Arbor Vitae non-directional radio beacon (NDB). The geographic coordinates for the airport in the associated airspace would be updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database. Airspace redesign is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at these airports.

This notice announces actions taken by FHWA and other Federal agencies that are final. The actions relate to a proposed highway project for the Southern Extension of State Route (SR) 186 and the US 45 Bypass from SR-1 (US 70/Airways Boulevard) to SR-5 (US 45/South Highland Avenue) on the south side of Jackson in Madison County, Tennessee. Those actions grant licenses, permits, and approvals for the project. The FHWA's Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) provides details on the Selected Alternative for the proposed improvements.
