Amendment of Class E Airspace; West Palm Beach, FL
A final rule was published in the Federal Register on June 8, 2023, amending the West Palm Beach, FL Class E airspace legal description by removing ``West Palm Beach'' from the Palm Beach International Airport name in the legal description sub-header as it is excessive and unnecessary. The FAA discovered the word ``[Amended]'' was not listed after the airspace name in the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface legal description for West Palm Beach, FL. This action corrects this error.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
The FAA is removing Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2016-15-01, which applied to all Airbus SAS Model A300 series airplanes; Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R series airplanes, and Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes (collectively called Model A300-600 series airplanes); and Model A310 series airplanes. AD 2016-15-01 required an inspection to determine trimmable horizontal stabilizer actuator (THSA) part numbers, serial numbers, and flight cycles on certain THSAs; and repetitive replacement of certain THSAs. The FAA issued AD 2016-15-01 to prevent loss of THSA no-back brake (NBB) efficiency. Since the FAA issued AD 2016-15-01, the FAA has issued AD 2022-25-12 to terminate AD 2016-15-01 for Model A310 series airplanes and AD 2023-11-02 to terminate AD 2016-15-01 for Model A300-600 series airplanes. The FAA has also determined that the inclusion of the Model A300 series airplanes in the applicability of AD 2016-15-01 was an inadvertent error. Accordingly, AD 2016-15-01 is removed.
Amendment of the Nashville International Airport Class C Airspace; Nashville, TN; and the John C. Tune Airport Class D Airspace; Nashville, TN
This action corrects a final rule published by the FAA in the Federal Register on June 6, 2023, that amended the Nashville International Airport Class C airspace area and the John C. Tune Class D airspace area. In the final rule, the words ``(when active)'' were inadvertently omitted from the sentences that exclude the Smyrna Airport Class D airspace from the Nashville Class C airspace area. The error would cause the incorrect depiction of the Class C and Class D airspace areas on aeronautical charts. This action corrects that error.
Amendment of Class E Airspace; Quincy, IL
This action proposes to amend the Class E airspace at Quincy, IL. The FAA is proposing this action as the result of an airspace review due to the decommissioning of the Quincy very high frequency omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of the VOR Minimum Operating Network (MON) Program. The name and geographic coordinates of the airport and name of the navigational aid would also be updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
Amendment of Class E Airspace; Hastings, MI
This action amends the Class E airspace at Hastings, MI. This action is the result of an airspace review caused by the decommissioning of the Grand Rapids very high frequency omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of the VOR Minimum Operating Network (MON) Program. The name and geographic coordinates of the airport are also being updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
Airworthiness Directives; Lockheed Martin Corporation/Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company Airplanes
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Lockheed Martin Corporation/Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company Model 382, 382B, 382E, 382F, 382G, and 382J airplanes; and Model C-130A, HP- C-130A, EC-130Q, 282-44A-05 (C-130B), C-130B, and C-130H airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report indicating a quality audit found aft fuselage sloping longerons manufactured with an overaged condition. This AD requires a conductivity check on certain aft fuselage sloping longerons and applicable on-condition actions. This AD also limits the installation of certain aft fuselage sloping longerons under certain conditions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments; Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: National Flight Data Center Web Portal
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information collection. The collection involves aeronautical information detailing the physical description and operational status of all components of the National Airspace System (NAS). The information to be collected will be used to update government, military, and private aeronautical databases, charts, publications, flight management systems, and in- flight tracking products.

This final rule implements a mandate in the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 by requiring that certain airplanes used to conduct domestic, flag, or supplemental passenger-carrying operations have installed a physical secondary barrier that protects the flightdeck from unauthorized intrusion when the flightdeck door is opened.
