Notice of a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) and Record of Decision (ROD) on a Final Environmental Assessment (FEA) for the Proposed Federal Action at the Macon County Airport, Franklin, NC
The FAA is issuing this notice to advise the public of the approval of a FONSI/ROD on an FEA for a proposed Federal action at the Macon County Airport, Franklin, NC. The FONSI/ROD states that the proposed projects are consistent with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and will not significantly affect the quality of the environment.
Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B16 (CL-604 Variants (Including CL-605 Marketing Variant)) Airplanes
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This proposed AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated 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: Following five reported cases of balance washer screw failure on similar ADGs [air-driven generators]/ram air turbines installed on other aircraft types, investigation by Hamilton Sundstrand determined that a specific batch of the screws had a metallographic non-conformity that increased their susceptibility to brittle fracture. Failure of a balance washer screw can result in loss of the related balance washer, with consequent turbine imbalance. Such imbalance could potentially result in ADG structural failure (including blade failure), loss of ADG electrical power and structural damage to the aircraft and, if deployment was activated by a dual engine shutdown, could also result in loss of hydraulic power for the flight controls [and consequent reduced ability of the flightcrew to maintain the safe flight and landing of the airplane]. The proposed AD would require
Modification of the Process for Requesting a Waiver of the Mandatory Separation Age of 56 for Air Traffic Control Specialists
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes to amend its regulations concerning the process for requesting a waiver of the mandatory separation age for Air Traffic Control Specialists in flight service stations, enroute or terminal facilities, and the David J. Hurley Air Traffic Control System Command Center. Under the proposal, Air Traffic Control Specialists would no longer be required to certify they have not been involved in an operational error (OE), operational deviation (OD), or runway incursion in the past 5 years. The proposed change reflects FAA Order JO 7210.56C, Change 2, effective July 20, 2009, which removed any references to employee identification, training record entries, performance management, and return-to-duty actions that have been historically tied to reported events. The proposal would streamline the waiver process and bring it into conformance with current FAA OE and OD reporting policy.
Civil Penalty Inflation Adjustment for Commercial Space Adjudications
This final rule brings Federal Aviation Administration commercial space transportation regulations into compliance with the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, as amended by the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996. The rule makes mandatory inflation-based adjustments to the maximum civil penalty contained in 14 CFR part 406 authorized for violations of the Commercial Space Launch Act of 1984, as codified at 49 U.S.C. subtitle IX, ch. 701, Commercial Space Launch Activities.
Fourth Meeting: RTCA Special Committee 223: Airport Surface Wireless Communications
The FAA is issuing this notice to advise the public of a meeting of RTCA Special Committee 223: Airport Surface Wireless Communications.
Tenth Meeting: RTCA Special Committee 209: In Joint Session With EUROCAE WG 49: ATCRBS/Mode S Transponder MOPS Maintenance
The FAA is issuing this notice to advise the public of a meeting of RTCA Special Committee 209: In Joint Session with EUROCAE WG-49 ATCRBS/Mode S Transponder MOPS Maintenance.
Proposed Revocation and Establishment of Class E Airspace; Northeast, AK
This action proposes to revoke and establish Class E airspace in Northeast Alaska. The recent removal of a Colored Federal Airway near Kaktovik, AK, duplication of controlled airspace near Mentasta Lake, AK, and the establishment of one Special Area Navigation Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) at Eagle Airport, AK, have made these actions necessary to enhance safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations.
Modification of Class C Airspace; Beale Air Force Base, CA
This action modifies the legal description of the Beale Air Force Base (AFB), CA, Class C airspace area by allowing the hours of operation to be announced in advance by a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM). The effective hours of the Beale AFB Class C airspace area will be consistent with the actual hours of operation of the Beale AFB Airport Traffic Control Tower (ATCT).
Airworthiness Directives; Turbomeca Arriel 2B1 Turboshaft Engines
We are revising an existing 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:
Minimum Altitudes for IFR Operations
The FAA is correcting the introductory text in paragraph (a) of Sec. 91.177 that was published on August 18, 1989. The phrase, ``or unless otherwise authorized by the Administrator'' was inadvertently removed from paragraph (a) introductory text. This action reinstates that phrase with a minor revision.
