HED has determined that risks from the residues of 1,2,4 triazole, triazole alanine and triazole acetic acid should be assessed for their contribution to the risk resulting from the use of 1,2,4 triazole derivative fungicides. The U. S. Triazole Task Force ( USTTF) has submitted an assessment entitled, " 1,2,4 Triazole Aggregate Exposure Assessment" ( Syngenta Study T022748 04, N. Heard, May 20, 2005) which includes an assessment of the residential exposure to 1,2,4 triazole from triazole derivative fungicides. In addition, the USTTF presented an occupational handler and postapplication exposure assessment to EPA ( meeting held at EPA, June 2, 2003), which included a hardcopy submission of its overhead slides. This document presents HED's occupational and residential exposure/ risk assessment for the use of triazole derivative fungicides, including references to the USTTF submissions, where appropriate. Page 2 of 14 1.0 Executive Summary The use of 1,2,4 triazole derivative ( T D) fungicides results in potential occupational and residential exposures to certain break down products that are of concern to HED. Specifically, 1,2,4 triazole ( 1,2,4 T) can be formed in soil following application of T D fungicides. In addition, dermal, inhalation and incidental oral exposure to a T D fungicide can lead to an absorbed dose of the parent compound which can be metabolically transformed to 1,2,4 triazole. Two other important degradates of T D fungicides, i. e., triazole alanine ( TA) and triazole acetic acid ( TAA), are primarily formed through metabolic conversion in plant tissues. Because TA and TAA residues are believed to remain inside crop commodities, they are not a concern for occupational or residential exposure scenarios.

A separate 1,2,4 T risk assessment is necessary because, under the Food Quality Protection Act ( FQPA), regulatory decisions for an individual T D fungicide also must take into account the dietary contribution of 1,2,4 T from other T D fungicides used on food crops or in residential settings. This same FQPA concern is not applicable to occupational exposure. Instead, it is presumed that workers will be exposed only to the 1,2,4 T contribution from a single T D fungicide at any given time. The toxicity endpoints for the particular parent T D fungicide being assessed are considered to account for the toxicity of any 1,2,4 T that has formed in the exposed worker as a result of metabolic conversion. Under FQPA, other indirect sources of 1,2,4 T ( i. e., from food or residential T D fungicide uses) are not aggregated with worker exposures to 1,2,4 T from the use of a single T D fungicide in their workday An assessment of residential exposure to 1,2,4 T was performed for T D fungicide use on turf. There are a number of T D fungicides currently registered for turf use, with others in the proposal stage. Rather than assess each turf T D fungicide individually, worst case assessments ( based on currently registered turf products, as well as, a hypothetical worst case composite product) were performed for residential handlers and postapplication activities that will stand as screens for all currently registered turf products and, potentially, for any future turf use registration requests.

Occupational Handler/ Postapplication Exposure and Risk A separate 1,2,4 T assessment is not necessary ( see discussion in above section).

Residential Handler Residential handler risks from short term exposure to 1,2,4 T do not exceed HED's level of concern ( LOC) for lawn use of triadimefon ( the worst case currently registered turf use TD fungicide). Likewise, the screening level assessment, using a composite of high end exposure input values, results in risks that do not exceed HED's LOC ( MOEs range from 1500 to 6400). Page 3 of 14 Residential Postapplication The MOEs for short term postapplication exposure to the T D fungicide turf product, triadimefon are all $ 1000 for individual routes of exposure, and therefore do not exceed HED's level of concern. Likewise, for triadimefon, if individual routes of exposure ( e. g., toddler dermal and incidental ingestion activities) are combined, the MOE is 2200, and therefore does not exceed HED's LOC.

The MOEs for postapplication exposure to a hypothetical screening level T D fungicide are less than 1000 for the dermal route of exposure ( e. g., adult dermal MOE = 270; toddler dermal MOE = 160), and therefore exceed HED's LOC.

2.0 Hazard Summary The acute toxicity of 1,2,4 T is presented in Table 1, and a summary of toxicity endpoints in Table 2. All residential exposure scenarios are expected to be short term ( 1  30 days duration).

Residential T D fungicide uses include treatment of ornamentals, treatment of wood that could be used in construction of decks and playground equipment, and treatment of lawns. Lawn treatment is believed to represent the highest residential risk potential, and therefore, this assessment has been limited to lawn care ( turf) products. The following table lists a number of the T D fungicides for which there are currently registered or proposed turf uses, along with readily available use information and characteristics that are pertinent to the assessment of risks from such uses.

4.0 Residential ( Non Occupational) Exposures and Risks There is a potential for 1,2,4 T exposure to homeowners during the application of T D fungicide products on lawns ( turf), and from subsequent activities in such treated areas. As a result, risk assessments have been completed for both residential handler and postapplication scenarios.

Toddlers can be exposed directly to 1,2,4 T by ingesting soil where T D fungicides have been sprayed, and subsequently undergone environmental degradation to 1,2,4 T. Indirect exposure of toddlers to 1,2,4 T can occur dermally from contact with, and absorption of T D fungicide residues on treated turf, with subsequent internal metabolism to 1,2,4 T. Indirect exposure also can occur through incidental ingestion of parent residues from hand to mouth and object tomouth activities on T D fungicide treated turf, with subsequent internal metabolic breakdown to 1,2,4 T. Likewise, indirect 1,2,4 T exposure can occur to adults from internal metabolic conversion, following direct dermal and inhalation of T D fungicides during application to home lawns, and via the dermal route alone from subsequent contact with those treated lawns.

1,2,4 T exposure is determined by certain key characteristics specific to the parent T D fungicide from which it is formed. These characteristics can be different for each parent T D fungicide, and include application rate, environmental and metabolic conversion rates, molecular weight ratio and dermal absorption factors. The USTTF calculated the route specific risks for individual registered and proposed turf use T D fungicides, using an average metabolic conversion rate, empirically derived turf transferrable residue ( TTR) data ( where available), dermal absorption data ( where available), and standard values and procedures from the US EPA Draft Standard Page 7 of 14 Operating Procedures for Residential Exposure Assessment. The USTTF then used results from the T D fungicide with the highest total toddler postapplication exposure ( i. e., dermal plus incidental oral) in its aggregate assessment of turf use T D fungicides.

HED has assessed the currently registered turf use T D fungicide that results in the highest 1,2,4 T exposure ( i. e., triadimefon), as well as the highest 1,2,4 T exposure resulting from a hypothetical T D fungicide that is characterized by the maximum exposure input characteristics found among all registered and proposed turf use T D fungicides ( see shaded values in Table 3 for highest input variables). This latter is intended to cover any future proposed turf use T D fungicides that may present a greater exposure potential than those currently under consideration.

4.1 Residential Handler Exposures and Risks 4.1.1 Handler Exposure Scenarios Non occupational exposure is likely during the handling of T D fungicides in the treatment of residential lawns, which would include the following major residential exposure scenarios:

( 1) M/ L/ A Liquids: hose end sprayer; ( 2) M/ L/ A Liquids: low pressure handwand;

4.1.2 Data and Assumptions For Residential Handler Exposure Scenarios The following assumptions and factors are specific to the residential assessment:

C Residential handler exposure scenarios are only considered to be short term in nature due to the episodic uses associated with homeowner products.

C Homeowner handler assessments are completed based on individuals wearing shorts and short sleeved shirts.

C Homeowner handlers are expected to complete all tasks associated with the use of a pesticide product including mixing/ loading, if needed, as well as the application.

C The Agency always considers the maximum application rates allowed by labels in its risk assessments to consider what is legally possible based on the label.

C The Agency based calculations on what would reasonably be treated by homeowners such as the size of a lawn, or the size of a garden.

C A 70 kg body weight is used for adults because the toxicity endpoint is not genderspecific

4.1.3 Residential Handler Exposure/ Risk Estimates Residential handlers may be exposed dermally and by inhalation during mixing, loading and application of T D fungicides for short term durations. Because a common toxicity endpoint was identified for both dermal and inhalation routes, a combined risk from both routes of exposure is Page 8 of 14 assessed. Results from these risk calculations for residential handlers are seen in Table 4 below.

Note: Proprietary data from the Outdoor Residential Exposure Task Force ( ORETF) have been used in this assessment. The chemical review manager is encouraged to pursue data compensation in the event the registrant in not a member of this task force. Page 9 of 14 Table 4.

Page 10 of 14 4.1.4 Summary of Risk Concerns and Data Gaps for Residential Handlers Residential handler risks from exposure to 1,2,4 T do not exceed HED's LOC for lawn use of triadimefon. Likewise, the screening level assessment, using a composite of high end exposure input values, results in risks that do not exceed HED's LOC. Dermal absorption factors used in this assessment were taken from the USTTF Aggregate Risk Assessment.

4.2 Residential Postapplication Exposures and Risks Individuals of varying ages can potentially be exposed from activities on treated turf. Potential routes of exposure include dermal ( adults and toddlers) and incidental ingestion ( toddlers only). It is believed that most residential uses of T D fungicides will result in short term ( 1 to 30 days) postapplication exposures. The likelyhood of routine lawn mowing is believed to mitigate against the possibility of intermediate term (> 30 days to 180 days) exposures. Because of the conservative values and methodology used, the residential postapplication assessment is not believed to underestimate risks.

The HED Standard Operating Procedures for Residential Exposure Assessments ( Draft, December 18, 1997) were used as a guideline for performing the residential postapplication assessment. Also used in the assessment were interim changes to these SOPs which were adopted by the HED Exposure Science Advisory Council regarding standard values, including, for turf transferrable residues, turf transfer coefficients and hand to mouth activities ( Policy 11, February 22, 2001). The exposure and risk estimates for the four residential exposure scenarios are assessed for the day of application ( day " 0") because it is assumed that adults and toddlers could contact the lawn immediately after application. On the day of application, it was assumed that 5 percent of the application rate is available from the turfgrass as transferrable residue ( 20 percent for object to mouth activities).

4.2.1 Residential Postapplication Exposure Scenarios Assessment of residential postapplication exposure was performed using the same approach as was used for handler exposure above. The assessment was performed for the T D fungicide, triadimefon, and for a hypothetical worst case turf use T D fungicide ( i. e., one which results in the highest 1,2,4 T exposure from using the maximum input variables from current and proposed turf use T D fungicides).

4.2.2 Residential Postapplication Exposure/ Risk From Turf A summary of the estimated exposures and risks, along with the algorithms used for each turf exposure scenario are presented below in Tables 5a  5d for triadimefon, and Tables 6a  6d for the screening level assessment.

FQPA requires residential exposures that could reasonably be expected to occur on the same day be combined and compared to the appropriate toxicity endpoint. Likewise, if individual routes of exposure ( e. g., toddler dermal and incidental ingestion by hand to mouth, object to mouth and soil ingestion activities) are combined, the MOE is 2200, and therefore does not exceed HED's LOC.

The MOEs for postapplication exposure to a hypothetical screening level T D fungicide are less than 1000 for the dermal route of exposure ( e. g., adult dermal MOE = 270; toddler dermal MOE = 160), and therefore exceed HED's LOC.

The exposure estimates generated are based on some upper percentile ( i. e., maximum application rate) and some central tendency ( i. e., surface area, hand to mouth activity, and body weight) assumptions and are, therefore, considered to be representative of central to high end exposures. The uncertainties associated with this assessment stem from the use of an assumed amount of pesticide available from turf, and assumptions regarding transfer of chemical residues, and handto mouth activity.

5.0 Recreational T D fungicides may be used on turf at recreational use sites, and, therefore may result in postapplication exposure to adults and children involved in recreational activities. Exposures to adults and children from the use of T D fungicides at recreational use sites are assumed to be the same as those assessed for residential use sites, and therefore, a separate recreational exposure assessment was not included. Results from the residential turf exposure assessment are considered upper percentile risk estimates. Therefore, it is not expected that the high end residential exposure scenario would occur on the same day as a high end recreational exposure scenario. Exposure from these two exposure scenarios are not aggregated. Rather, the residential risk estimate should serve as a high end estimate for both residential and recreational exposure 6.0 Spray Drift While the drifting of agricultural spray applications of T D fungicides to nearby residential settings is possible, the T D funcgicide turf uses addressed in the above residential risk assessment are considered to be conservative, worst case scenarios, that would cover any potential 1,2,4 T risks from agricultural spraying operations. Page 14 of 14 Spray drift is always a potential source of exposure to residents nearby to spraying operations. This is particularly the case with aerial application, but, to a lesser extent, could also be a potential source of exposure from the groundboom application. The Agency has been working with the Spray Drift Task Force, EPA Regional Offices and State Lead Agencies for pesticide regulation and other parties to develop the best spray drift management practices. The Agency is now requiring interim mitigation measures for aerial applications that must be placed on product labels/ labeling. The Agency has completed its evaluation of the new data base submitted by the Spray Drift Task Force, a membership of U. S. pesticide registrants, and is developing a policy on how to appropriately apply the data and the AgDRIFT computer model to its risk assessments for pesticides applied by air, orchard airblast and ground hydraulic methods. After the policy is in place, the Agency may impose further refinements in spray drift management practices to reduce off target drift and risks associated with aerial as well as other application types where appropriate.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
The Boeing Company Model 737-300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. This
proposed AD was prompted by a manufacturer's review that showed that
the tank access door at a certain wing buttock line did not have an
engineered ground path with the mating wing structure. This proposed AD
would require replacing the tank access door, doing a check of the
electrical bond, doing related investigative and corrective actions if
necessary, and revising the maintenance or inspection program by
incorporating an airworthiness limitation (AWL). We are proposing this
AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by April 24, 2017.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2017-0128;
Directorate Identifier 2016-NM-194-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposed 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 proposed AD.

Discussion

    The manufacturer has reported that the tank access door at wing
buttock line 191.00 did not have an engineered ground path with the
mating wing structure. The current installation could become a
potential ignition source in the event of a lightning strike. To date,
there have been no reports of ignition in the fuel tank at this tank
access door location that were caused by a lightning strike. An
ungrounded path between the door and the mating wing structure, if not
corrected, could result in an increased risk of ignition and subsequent
fuel tank explosion in the event of a lightning strike.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed the following service information.
     Boeing Service Bulletin 737-57-1320, dated October 7,
2016, which describes procedures for replacing the tank access door
with a new installation that has two engineered ground paths between
the new door assembly and the mating wing structure, doing a check of
the electrical bond, and related investigative and corrective actions.
     Boeing 737-12345 Airworthiness Limitations (AWLs) and
Certification Maintenance Requirements (CMRs) D6-38278-CMR, dated May
2016. The AWL required by this AD is AWL 28-AWL-30 ``Upper Wing Fuel
Tank Access Panel--Lightning Protection Electrical Design Features,''
which describes features to verify during installation of the upper
fuel tank access panel.
    This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

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 require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information described previously, except as discussed
under ``Differences Between this Proposed AD and the Service
Information.'' For information on the procedures and compliance times,
see Boeing Service Bulletin 737-57-1320, dated October 7, 2016, at
http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No.
FAA-2017-0128.
    The phrase ``related investigative actions'' is used in this
proposed AD. Related investigative actions are follow-on actions that
(1) are related to the primary action, and (2) further investigate the
nature of any condition found. Related investigative actions in an AD
could include, for example, inspections.
    The phrase ``corrective actions'' is used in this proposed AD.
Corrective actions correct or address any condition found. Corrective
actions in an AD could include, for example, repairs.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the Service Information

    Boeing Service Bulletin 737-57-1320, dated October 7, 2016,
specifies to contact the manufacturer for certain instructions, but
this proposed AD would require using repair methods, modification
deviations, and alteration deviations in one of the following ways:
     In accordance with a method that we approve; or
     Using data that meet the certification basis of the
airplane, and that have been approved by the Boeing Commercial
Airplanes Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) whom we have
authorized to make those findings.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 381 airplanes of U.S.
registry. We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 program.                             = $85.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this proposed
AD.
    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this proposed
AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost
estimate.

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 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 this 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.

principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager
of the local flight standards district office/certificate holding
district office.
    (3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable level of safety may be
used for any repair, modification, or alteration required by this AD
if it is approved by the Boeing Commercial Airplanes Organization
Designation Authorization (ODA) that has been authorized by the
Manager, Seattle ACO, to make those findings. To be approved, the
repair method, modification deviation, or alteration deviation must
meet the certification basis of the airplane, and the approval must
specifically refer to this AD.
    (4) Except as required by paragraph (i)(2) of this AD: For
service information that contains steps that are labeled as Required
for Compliance (RC), the provisions of paragraphs (j)(4)(i) and
(j)(4)(ii) of this AD apply.
    (i) The steps labeled as RC, including substeps under an RC step
and any figures identified in an RC step, must be done to comply
with the AD. If a step or substep is labeled ``RC Exempt,'' then the
RC requirement is removed from that step or substep. An AMOC is
required for any deviations to RC steps, including substeps and
identified figures.
    (ii) Steps not labeled as RC may be deviated from using accepted
methods in accordance with the operator's maintenance or inspection
program without obtaining approval of an AMOC, provided the RC
steps, including substeps and identified figures, can still be done
as specified, and the airplane can be put back in an airworthy
condition.

Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2018-17, dated June 29, 2018 (referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an
unsafe condition for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-2B19
(Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Bombardier has received reports from the manufacturer of its
Angle of Attack (AOA) transducers indicating that there is a
possibility of excessive error in the signal generated by the AOA
Transducer. It is possible that this error may not be detected by
the stall protection computer, which could lead to late stall
protection system activation and potentially result in the loss of
control of the aeroplane. The error could be a result of incorrect
assembly or/and internal wear in the AOA Transducer.
    This [Canadian] AD mandates the modification or replacement of
the AOA transducers in order to prevent late activation of the stick
pusher in the stall protection system.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2018-
1008.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Bombardier has issued Service Bulletin 601R-27-165, dated December
20, 2016. This service information describes procedures for replacing
certain AOA transducers with new or modified AOA transducers. This
service information is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination

    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 proposing this AD because we
evaluated all the relevant information and determined the unsafe
condition described previously is likely to exist or develop

on other products of the same type design.

Proposed Requirements of This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information described previously.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the MCAI

    The applicability of the MCAI is limited to Bombardier, Inc., Model
CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes having serial
number 7003 through 7067 inclusive and 7069 through 7891 inclusive, and
equipped with AOA transducers having part number (P/N) 45-150-340,
C16258AA, or C16258AB. However, the applicability of this proposed AD
specifies Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100
& 440) airplanes having serial number 7003 through 7067 inclusive and
7069 through 7891 inclusive. Airplanes having serial number 7003
through 7067 inclusive and 7069 through 7891 inclusive that are not
equipped with the affected parts must comply with the parts
installation prohibition specified in paragraph (h) of this proposed
AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 525 airplanes of U.S.
registry. We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Labor cost                    Parts cost          Cost per product        Cost on U.S.  operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 work-hours x $85 per hour = $425  Up to $6,800.........  Up to $7,225.........  Up to $3,793,125
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the manufacturer, some or all of the costs of this
proposed AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost
impact on affected individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for
affected individuals. As a result, we have included all known costs in
our cost estimate.

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.
    This proposed AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated
by the Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as
authorized by FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order,
issuance of ADs is normally a function of the Compliance and
Airworthiness Division, but during this transition period, the
Executive Director has delegated the authority to issue ADs applicable
to transport category airplanes and associated appliances to the
Director of the System Oversight Division.

Regulatory Findings

    We 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 this 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
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

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

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2014-0135; Airspace Docket No. 14-AGL-4]

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Grand Forks, ND

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule, technical amendment.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E airspace within the Grand Forks,
ND, area by amending the geographic coordinates of the Grand Forks
International Airport ILS Localizer. The boundaries and operating
requirements of the airspace remain the same.

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, June 9, 2014. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR Part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and
publication of conforming amendments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott Enander, Central Service Center,
Operations Support Group, Federal Aviation Administration, Southwest
Region, 2601 Meacham Blvd., Fort Worth, TX 76137; telephone 817-321-
7716.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by amending the geographic coordinates of the Grand Forks
International Airport ILS Localizer from ``(lat. 47[deg]53'43'' N.,
long. 97[deg]10'52'' W.)'' to ``(lat. 47[deg]57'43'' N., long.
97[deg]10'52'' W.)'', to coincide with the FAA's Aeronautical database.
Since this is an administrative change and does not affect the
boundaries, altitudes, or operating requirements of the airspace, I
find that notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) is
impracticable and contrary to the public interest.
    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.
Therefore, this regulation: (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 only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 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 amends controlled airspace in the Grand Forks, ND area.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).

Adoption of the Amendment

    In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation
Administration amends 14 CFR Part 71 as follows:

PART 71--DESIGNATION OF CLASS A, B, C, D, AND E AIRSPACE AREAS; AIR
TRAFFIC SERVICE ROUTES; AND REPORTING POINTS

1. The authority citation for 14 CFR Part 71 continues to read as
