14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2012-1319; Directorate Identifier 2012-NM-179-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; the Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We propose to revise an existing airworthiness directive (AD)
that applies to all The Boeing Company Model 757 airplanes. The
existing AD currently requires revising the maintenance program by
incorporating new and revised fuel tank system limitations in the
Airworthiness Limitations (AWLs) section of the Instructions for
Continued Airworthiness; and requires the initial inspection of certain
repetitive AWL inspections to phase-in those inspections, and repair if
necessary. Since we issued that AD, we have found errors in paragraph
references in the existing AD. This proposed AD would revise those
paragraph references to refer to the correct paragraphs. We are
proposing this AD to prevent the potential for ignition sources inside
fuel tanks caused by latent failures, alterations, repairs, or
maintenance actions, which in combination with flammable fuel vapors,
could result in a

fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by March 18, 2013.

Discussion

    On June 6, 2012, we issued AD 2012-12-15, Amendment 39-17095 (77 FR
42964, July 23, 2012), for all The Boeing Company Model 757 airplanes.
That AD superseded AD 2008-10-11, Amendment 39-15517 (73 FR 25974, May
8, 2008). AD 2012-12-15 requires revising the maintenance program by
incorporating new and revised fuel tank system limitations in the
Airworthiness Limitations (AWLs) section of the Instructions for
Continued Airworthiness to satisfy Special Federal Aviation Regulation
No. 88 requirements; and requires the initial inspection of certain
repetitive AWL inspections to phase-in those inspections, and repair if
necessary. That AD resulted from a report that an AWL required by a
previous AD must be revised. We issued that AD to prevent the potential
for ignition sources inside fuel tanks caused by latent failures,
alterations, repairs, or maintenance actions, which in combination with
flammable fuel vapors, could result in a fuel tank explosion and
consequent loss of the airplane.

Actions Since Existing AD Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 2012-12-15, Amendment 39-17095 (77 FR 42964,
July 23, 2012), we have found errors in paragraph references in the
existing AD. The second sentence in paragraph (h)(1) of the existing AD
refers to paragraph (n) of that AD, which is a compliance time for AWL
No. 28-AWL-26. The correct reference should be to paragraph (l) of that
AD, which is a compliance time for AWL No. 28-AWL-03. The last sentence
in paragraph (l) of the existing AD refers to paragraph (h)(2) of that
AD, which is a definition of a detailed inspection. The correct
reference should be to paragraph (h)(1)(ii) of that AD, which
references a specific AWL and compliance time.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would retain all requirements of AD 2012-12-15,
Amendment 39-17095 (77 FR 42964, July 23, 2012). This proposed AD would
revise certain paragraph references.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 639 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                               Cost per         Cost on U.S.
             Action                    Labor cost           Parts cost          product           operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AWLs revisions [retained actions  9 work-hours x $85   None...............            $765              $488,835
 from existing AD (AD 2012-12-     per hour = $765.
 15, Amendment 39-17095 (77 FR
 42964, July 23, 2012))].
Inspections [retained actions     8 work-hours x $85   None...............             680               434,520
 from existing AD (AD 2012-12-     per hour = $680.
 15, Amendment 39-17095 (77 FR
 42964, July 23, 2012))].
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The new requirements of this proposed AD add no additional economic
burden.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, Section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,

Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701, ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We have determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that the proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

The Boeing Company: Docket No. FAA-2012-1319; Directorate Identifier
2012-NM-179-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    The FAA must receive comments on this AD action by March 18,
2013.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD revises AD 2012-12-15, Amendment 39-17095 (77 FR 42964,
July 23, 2012). Certain requirements of this AD terminate certain
requirements of AD 2008-11-07, Amendment 39-15529 (73 FR 30755, May
29, 2008); AD 2008-06-03, Amendment 39-15415 (73 FR 13081, March 12,
2008); and AD 2009-06-20, Amendment 39-15857 (74 FR 12236, March 24,
2009).

(c) Applicability

    (1) This AD applies to all The Boeing Company Model 757-200, -
00PF, -200CB, and -300 series airplanes, certificated in any
category.
    (2) This AD requires revisions to certain operator maintenance
documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections) and/or critical
design configuration control limitations (CDCCLs). Compliance with
these actions and/or CDCCLs is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For
airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired
in the areas addressed by these inspections, the operator may not be
able to accomplish the actions described in the revisions. In this
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must
request approval of an alternative method of compliance (AMOC)
according to paragraph (s) of this AD. The request should include a
description of changes to the required actions that will ensure the
continued operational safety of the airplane.

(d) Subject

    Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)/Air Transport Association
(ATA) of America Code 28: Fuel.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD results from a design review of the fuel tank systems.
The Federal Aviation Administration is issuing this AD to prevent
the potential for ignition sources inside fuel tanks caused by
latent failures, alterations, repairs, or maintenance actions,
which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in a
fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

    You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD
performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions
have already been done.

(g) Retained Revision of Airworthiness Limitations (AWLs) Section

    This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (g) of AD
2012-12-15, Amendment 39-17095 (77 FR 42964, July 23, 2012). Before
December 16, 2008, revise the AWLs section of the Instructions for
Continued Airworthiness (ICA) by incorporating the information in
the subsections specified in paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(3) of
this AD into the maintenance planning data (MPD) document; except
that the initial inspections specified in table 1 to paragraph
(h)(1) of this AD must be done at the compliance times specified in
table 1 to paragraph (h)(1) of this AD. Accomplishing the
requirements of paragraph (k) of this AD terminates the requirements
of this paragraph.

    (2) For the purposes of this AD, a detailed inspection is: ``An
intensive examination of a specific item, installation, or assembly
to detect damage, failure, or irregularity. Available lighting is
normally supplemented with a direct source of good lighting at an
intensity deemed appropriate. Inspection aids such as mirror,
magnifying lenses, etc., may be necessary. Surface cleaning and
elaborate procedures may be required.''
    (3) For the purposes of this AD, a special detailed inspection
is: ``An intensive examination of a specific item, installation, or
assembly to detect damage, failure, or irregularity. The examination
is likely to make extensive use of specialized inspection techniques
and/or equipment. Intricate cleaning and substantial access or
disassembly procedure may be required.''

(i) No Alternative Inspections, Inspection Intervals, or CDCCLs for

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2019-0502; Airspace Docket No. 19-ASO-13]
RIN 2120-AA66

Proposed Amendment of the Class E Airspace; Haleyville, AL, and
Hamilton, AL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action proposes to amend the Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface at Posey Field Airport,
Haleyville, AL, and Marion County-Rankin Fite Airport, Hamilton, AL.
The FAA is proposing this action as the result of the decommissioning
of the Hamilton VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) navigation aid, which
provided navigation information for the instrument procedures at this
airport, as part of the VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) Program.
The name and geographic coordinates of Marion County-Rankin Fite
Airport would also 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.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 26, 2019.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this proposal to the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, West Building Ground Floor, Room
W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590; telephone

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it would amend the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface at Posey Field Airport, Haleyville, AL, and Marion
County-Rankin Fite Airport, Hamilton, AL, to support IFR operations at
these airports.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
Communications should identify both docket numbers and be submitted in
triplicate to the address listed above. Commenters wishing the FAA to
acknowledge receipt of their comments on this notice must submit with
those comments a self-addressed, stamped postcard on which the
following statement is made: ``Comments to Docket No. FAA-2019-0502/
Airspace Docket No. 19-ASO-13.'' The postcard will be date/time stamped
and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received before the specified closing date for
comments will be considered before taking action on the proposed rule.
The proposal contained in this notice may be changed in light of the
comments received. A report summarizing each substantive public contact
with FAA personnel concerned with this rulemaking will be filed in the
docket.

Availability of NPRMs

    An electronic copy of this document may be downloaded through the
internet at http://www.regulations.gov. Recently published rulemaking
documents can also be accessed through the FAA's web page at http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/airspace_amendments/.
    You may review the public docket containing the proposal, any
comments received, and any final disposition in person in the Dockets
Office (see the ADDRESSES section for the address and phone number)
between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except federal
holidays. An informal docket may also be examined during normal
business hours at the Federal Aviation Administration, Air Traffic
Organization, Central Service Center, Operations Support Group, 10101

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11C, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 13, 2018, and effective
September 15, 2018. FAA Order 7400.11C is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11C lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by:
    Amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to within a 6.5-mile radius (increased from a 6.4-mile
radius) at Posey Field Airport, Haleyville, AL; removing the city
associated with the airport in the airspace legal description to comply
with a change in FAA Order 7400.2M, Procedures for Handling Airspace
Matters; removing the Hamilton VORTAC and associated extension from the
airspace legal description; and adding an extension 2 miles each side
of the 002[deg] bearing from the airport extending from the 6.5-mile
radius to 11 miles north of the airport;
    And amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface to within a 6.5-mile radius (reduced from a 6.6-mile
radius) of Marion County-Rankin Fite Airport, Hamilton, AL; removing
the city associated with the airport in the airspace legal description
to comply with a change in FAA Order 7400.2M; removing the Hamilton
VORTAC and associated extension from the airspace legal description;
adding an extension 4 miles each side of the 002[deg] bearing from the
airport extending from the 6.5-mile radius to 11.8 miles north of the
airport; adding an extension 4 miles each side of the 182[deg] bearing
from the airport extending from the 6.5-mile radius to 11.4 miles south
of the airport; and would update the name and geographic coordinates of
the Marion County-Rankin Fite Airport (formerly Marion County Airport)
to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
    This action is the result of an airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Hamilton VOR, which provided navigation
information for the instrument procedures at these airports, as part of
the VOR MON Program.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11C, dated August 13, 2018, and effective September 15,
2018, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action''
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This 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:

    Identification of an unsafe condition related to the loss of the
fail-safe design criteria for the rudder trim, pitch trim and stick
pusher control functions after a reported event led in April 2008 to
the release of AD 2008-0062 to mandate the ATR modification No.
05780.
    It has appeared that some airplanes manufactured and delivered
before April 1, 2008, may have received on the production-line a
partial or incorrect implementation of the required ATR mod. No.
05780.
* * * * *
The unsafe condition is loss of the rudder trim, pitch trim, and stick
pusher control, which could result in loss of control of the airplane.
This AD requires actions that are intended to address the unsafe
condition described in the MCAI.

DATES: This AD becomes effective June 29, 2009.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications, listed in the AD as of June 29,
2009.
    We must receive comments on this AD by July 13, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2008-0218, dated December 10, 2008 (referred to
after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    Identification of an unsafe condition related to the loss of the
fail-safe design criteria for the rudder trim, pitch trim and stick
pusher control functions after a reported event led in April 2008 to
the release of AD 2008-0062 to mandate the ATR modification No.
05780.
    It has appeared that some airplanes manufactured and delivered
before April 1, 2008, may have received on the production-line a
partial or incorrect implementation of the required ATR mod. No.
05780.
    For the reasons stated above, the present AD requires an
inspection of the identified airplanes to verify and, finalize when
necessary, the complete and correct implementation of the ATR mod.
No. 05780[.]

The unsafe condition is loss of the rudder trim, pitch trim, and stick
pusher control, which could result in loss of control of the airplane.
Correct implementation of ATR modification No. 05780 includes
inspecting the protection sleeves for correct installation, and
installing new protective sleeving on the wire bundles in the rear
baggage zone if necessary; doing a detailed inspection for correct
positioning of the clamps for the wire bundles, and re-installing them
if necessary. You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI
in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Avions de Transport Regional has issued Service Bulletins ATR42-92-
0020 and ATR72-92-1021, both dated October 17, 2008. The actions
described in this service information are intended to correct the
unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are issuing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined the unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.
    There are no products of this type currently registered in the
United States. However, this rule is necessary to ensure that the
described unsafe condition is addressed if any of these products are
placed on the U.S. Register in the future.

Differences Between the AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    Since there are currently no domestic operators of this product,
notice and opportunity for public comment before issuing this AD are
unnecessary.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public
comment. We

invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or arguments about
this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under the ADDRESSES
section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2009-0524; Directorate Identifier
2009-NM-030-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We specifically
invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and
energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all comments received by
the closing date and may amend this AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://
www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this AD.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020, and effective
September 15, 2020. FAA Order 7400.11E is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this proposed rule. FAA Order 7400.11E
lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace

areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting points.

Background

    Federal airways V-39 and V-93 were originally part of a larger
proposal that was published in the Federal Register for Docket No. FAA-
2020-1146 (86 FR 5046; January 19, 2021). No comments were received in
response to that NPRM. Subsequent to the publication of the NPRM, an
FAA flight inspection of an airway fix (defined by the intersection of
the Barnes, MA (BAF) VORTAC 279[deg], and the Chester, MA (CTR) VOR/DME
223[deg] radials), could not be completed due to technical reasons.
Because the fix would be common to both airways, the proposed
amendments of V-39 and V-93 were removed from Docket No. FAA-2020-1146
and delayed to a later date in order to address the airway fix issue.
    The FAA determined that the fix defined by the intersection of the
Barnes, MA, and Chester, MA, radials (described above) could be removed
from the route descriptions because it did not mark a turn point on the
routes.
    As a difference from the original NPRM, the FAA proposes to retain
the affected route segments of V-39 and V-93 to Chester, MA, (as
described below) rather than ending the route segments prior to
Chester.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to amend VOR
Federal airways V-39 and V-93 as follows.
    V-39: V-39 currently extends between Sandhills, NC, and Mont Joli,
PQ, Canada. The FAA proposes to remove the airway segments between
Chester, MA, and Augusta, ME. As amended, V-39 would consist of two
parts: From Sandhills, NC, to Chester, MA; followed by a gap in the
route; then from Augusta, ME to Mont Joli, PQ, Canada.
    V-93: V-93 currently consists of two parts: From Patuxent River,
MD, to the intersection of the Wilkes Barre, PA, 037[deg] and the
Sparta, NJ, 300[deg] radials; and from the intersection of the Sparta,
NJ, 018[deg] and the Kingston, NY, 270[deg] radials, to Bangor, ME.
This action would remove the segments between Chester, MA, and Bangor,
ME. As amended, V-93 would consist of two parts: From Patuxent River,
MD, to the intersection of the Wilkes Barre, PA, 037[deg] and the
Sparta, NJ, 300[deg] radials; followed by a gap; then from the
intersection of the Sparta, NJ, 018[deg] and the Kingston, NY, 270[deg]
radials, to Chester, MA.
    Full route descriptions of the proposed amended routes are listed
in ``The Proposed Amendment'' section of this notice.
    VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order
7400.11E dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15, 2020, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The RNAV routes listed in
this document would be subsequently published in the Order.
    FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation
of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal.
Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule,
when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[R04-OAR-2005-AL-0002-200528b; FRL-8043-1]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Alabama: State
Implementation Plan Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is approving revisions to the Alabama State Implementation
Plan (SIP), submitted by the Alabama Department of Environmental
Management (ADEM) on September 11, 2003. The revisions include
modifications to Alabama's open burning rules found at Alabama
Administrative Code (AAC) Chapter 335-3-3-.01. These revisions are part
of Alabama's strategy to meet the national ambient air quality
standards by reducing emissions of volatile organic compounds and
nitrogen oxides. Open burning creates smoke that contains fine
particles (PM2.5) and precursors to ozone. ADEM has found
that elevated levels of PM2.5 mirror the months when ozone
levels are highest (May-September). These rules are intended to help
control levels of PM2.5 and ozone precursors that contribute
to high ozone

and PM2.5 levels. Today's action is being taken pursuant to
section 110 of the Clean Air Act. In its September 11, 2003, submittal,
ADEM also proposed SIP revisions to include changes to AAC Chapter 335-
3-4, concerning opacity. EPA is not acting on that part of the revision
at this time.
    In the Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving
Alabama's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal
because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and
anticipates no adverse comments. A rationale for the approval is set
forth in the direct final rule, and incorporated herein by reference.
If no significant, material, and adverse comments are received in
response to this rule, no further activity is contemplated with regard
to this proposed action. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct
final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be
addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed action. EPA
will not institute a second comment period on this document. Any
parties interested in commenting on this document should do so at this
time.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before April 10, 2006.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted by mail to: Stacy DiFrank,
Regulatory Development Section, Air Planning Branch, Air, Pesticides
and Toxics Management Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
Region 4, 61 Forsyth Street, SW., Atlanta, Georgia 30303-8960. Comments
may also be submitted electronically, or through hand delivery/courier.
Please follow the detailed instructions described in the direct final
rule, ADDRESSES section which is published in the Rules Section of this
Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stacy DiFrank, Regulatory Development
Section, Air Planning Branch, Air, Pesticides and Toxics Management
Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4, 61 Forsyth
Street, SW., Atlanta, Georgia 30303-8960. The telephone number is (404)
562-9042. Ms. DiFrank can also be reached via electronic mail at

final rule which is published in the Rules Section of this Federal
Register.
