CITY OF EVANSVILLE ONE N. W. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. BLVD. EVANSVILLE, INDIANA 47708 OFFICE OF THE MAYOR JONATHAN WEINZAPFEL December 9, 2004 Michael Leavitt Administrator U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Ariel Rios Building 1200 Pennsylvania Ave, N. W. Washington, D. C. 20460 Dear Administrator Leavitt:

On June 24, 2004, the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) proposed designating Vanderburgh, Warrick, Gibson, Pike, Spencer and Dubois Counties in Indiana as in nonattainment for the PM 2.5 ( particulate matter   2.5 microns in diameter) annual National Ambient Air Quality Standard ( NAAQS). The U. S. EPA proposed this designation for these six counties based on monitoring data from three PM 2.5 FRM monitors located in Vanderburgh County and one located in Dubois County. These monitors each had design values over the 15.0 microgram/ cubic meter NAAQS.

However, since June 24, 2004, the monitoring data we have received for the third quarter of 2004 demonstrates that all three Vanderburgh County monitors now have design values under the 15.0 micrograms per cubic meter limit. In other words, Vanderburgh County can now demonstrate attainment of the annual PM 2.5 standard. Furthermore, the fourth quarter has historically demonstrated lower PM 2.5 levels relative to the third quarter. At the end of this year, we expect Vanderburgh County to conclusively demonstrate attainment with the annual PM 2.5 NAAQS.

Nonetheless, the U. S. EPA is under a consent decree to make PM 2.5 attainment designations by December 15, 2004. If U. S. EPA persists in designating Vanderburgh County as in nonattainment for PM 2.5 in spite of the positive data for the third quarter and our expectations for the fourth quarter, it could still take us up to two years to have a Petition for Redesignation approved by the U. S. EPA even though we are currently in attainment. The nonattainment designation could have a serious negative impact on our economic development efforts. Page 2 Administrator Michael Leavitt Re: Nonattainment designation December 9, 2004 Although Vanderburgh County's monitors now demonstrate attainment, the monitor in Dubois County, though trending downward, is still above the 15.0 microgram/ cubic meter annual standard. Research performed by the Vanderburgh County Ozone Officer, Dr. Joanne Alexandrovich, indicates the Dubois County monitor is improperly sited and does not reflect actual ambient air quality data. We believe it would be unfair and unfounded to designate Vanderburgh County, as well as Dubois, Gibson, Pike, Spencer and Warrick Counties as in nonattainment simply on the basis of an improperly sited Dubois County monitor.

Please reconsider U. S. EPA's proposal to designate these six counties as in nonattainment. At the very least, the nonattainment area should be limited to Dubois County.

Thank you for your consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact me should I be of further assistance on this matter.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Weinzapfel Mayor Cc: Bharat Mathur, Acting Regional Administrator, U. S. EPA Region 5 Norman Niedergang, Acting Deputy Regional Administrator, U. S.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite interested people to take part in this rulemaking by
sending written comments, data, or views. The most helpful comments
reference a specific portion of the special conditions, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data.
    We will consider all comments we receive on or before the closing
date for comments. We may change these special conditions based on the
comments we receive.

Background

    On May 14, 2009, Embraer S.A. applied for a type certificate for
their new Model EMB-550 airplane. The Model EMB-550 airplane is the
first of a new family of jet airplanes designed for corporate flight,
fractional, charter, and private owner operations. The aircraft has a
conventional configuration with low wing and T-tail empennage. The
primary structure is metal with composite empennage and control
surfaces. The Model EMB-550 airplane is designed for 8 passengers, with
a maximum of 12 passengers. It is equipped with two Honeywell HTF7500-E
medium bypass ratio turbofan engines mounted on aft fuselage pylons.
Each engine produces approximately 6,540 pounds of thrust for normal
takeoff. The primary flight controls consist of hydraulically powered
fly-by-wire elevators, ailerons, and rudder, controlled by the pilot or
copilot sidestick.
    The flight control system for the Model EMB-550 airplane does not
have a direct mechanical link or a linear gain between the airplane
flight control surface and the pilot's cockpit control device, which is
not accounted for in Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
25.349(a). Instead, a flight control computer commands the airplane
flight control surfaces, based on input received from the cockpit
control device. The pilot input is modified by the flight control
computer before the command is given to the flight control surface.

Type Certification Basis

    Under the provisions of 14 CFR 21.17, Embraer S.A. must show that
the Model EMB-550 airplane meets the applicable provisions of part 25,
as amended by Amendments 25-1 through 25-127 thereto.
    If the Administrator finds that the applicable airworthiness
regulations (i.e., 14 CFR part 25) do not contain adequate or
appropriate safety standards for the Model EMB-500 airplane because of
a novel or unusual design feature, special conditions are prescribed
under the provisions of Sec.  21.16.
    Special conditions are initially applicable to the model for which
they

are issued. Should the type certificate for that model be amended later
to include any other model that incorporates the same or similar novel
or unusual design feature, the special conditions would also apply to
the other model under Sec.  21.101.
    In addition to the applicable airworthiness regulations and special
conditions, the Model EMB-550 airplane must comply with the fuel vent
and exhaust emission requirements of 14 CFR part 34 and the noise
certification requirements of 14 CFR part 36 and the FAA must issue a
finding of regulatory adequacy under Sec.  611 of Public Law 92-574,
the ``Noise Control Act of 1972.''
    The FAA issues special conditions, as defined in 14 CFR 11.19, in
accordance with Sec.  11.38, and they become part of the type-
certification basis under Sec.  21.17(a)(2).

Novel or Unusual Design Features

    The Model EMB-550 airplane will incorporate the following novel or
unusual design features: The Model EMB-550 airplane is equipped with an
electronic flight control system that provides control of the aircraft
through pilot inputs to the flight computer. Current part 25
airworthiness regulations account for ``control laws'' where aileron
deflection is proportional to control stick deflection. They do not
address any nonlinearities, i.e., situations where output does not
change in the same proportion as input, or other effects on aileron
actuation that may be caused by electronic flight controls.

Discussion

    These special conditions differ from current regulatory
requirements in that they require that the roll maneuver result from
defined movements of the cockpit roll control as opposed to defined
aileron deflections. Also, these special conditions require an
additional load condition at design maneuvering speed (VA),
in which the cockpit roll control is returned to neutral following the
initial roll input.
    These special conditions differ from similar special conditions
previously issued on this topic. These special conditions are limited
to the roll axis only, whereas other special conditions also included
pitch and yaw axes. Special conditions are no longer needed for the yaw
axis because 14 CFR 25.351 was revised at Amendment 25-91 to take into
account effects of an electronic flight control system. No special
conditions are needed for the pitch axis because the method that
Embraer S.A. proposed for the pitch maneuver takes into account effects
of an electronic flight control system. These proposed special
conditions contain the additional safety standards that the
Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety
equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.

Applicability

    As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to the
Model EMB-550 airplane. Should Embraer S.A. apply at a later date for a
change to the type certificate to include another model incorporating
the same novel or unusual design feature, the special conditions would
apply to that model as well.

Conclusion

    This action affects only certain novel or unusual design features
on one model EMB-550 of airplanes. It is not a rule of general
applicability.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 25

    Aircraft, Aviation safety, Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements.

    The authority citation for these special conditions is as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701, 44702, 44704.

The Proposed Special Conditions

    Accordingly, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes the
following special conditions as part of the type certification basis
for Embraer S.A. Model EMB-550 airplanes.
    1. Design Roll Maneuver for Electronic Flight Controls.
    In lieu of compliance to 14 CFR 25.349(a), the Embraer S.A. Model
EMB-550 airplane must comply with the following.
    The following conditions, speeds, and cockpit roll control motions
(except as the motions may be limited by pilot effort) must be
considered in combination with an airplane load factor of zero and of
two-thirds of the positive maneuvering factor used in design. In
determining the resulting control surface deflections, the torsional
flexibility of the wing must be considered in accordance with 14 CFR
25.301(b).
    (a) Conditions corresponding to steady rolling velocities must be
investigated. In addition, conditions corresponding to maximum angular
acceleration must be investigated for airplanes with engines or other
weight concentrations outboard of the fuselage. For the angular
acceleration conditions, zero rolling velocity may be assumed in the
absence of a rational time history investigation of the maneuver.
    (b) At VA, sudden movement of the cockpit roll control
up to the limit is assumed. The position of the cockpit roll control
must be maintained until a steady roll rate is achieved and then must
be returned suddenly to the neutral position.
    (c) At VC, the cockpit roll control must be moved
suddenly and maintained so as to achieve a roll rate not less than that
obtained in paragraph (b).
    (d) At VD, the cockpit roll control must be moved
suddenly and maintained so as to achieve a roll rate not less than one
third of that obtained in paragraph (b).

    Issued in Renton, Washington, on November 16, 2012.

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
the 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 expand the availability of RNAV routes in the
northeast United States and improve the efficient flow of air traffic
within the NAS by lessening the dependency on ground-based navigation.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 10, 2021, and effective
September 15, 2021. FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F
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 14 CFR part 71 to amend one
low altitude RNAV T-route, and establish four T-routes in the northeast
United States to augment the VOR MON Program.
    T-356: T-356 extends from the WOOLY, MD, Fix to the ELUDE, MD, Fix.
The FAA proposes to extend T-356 at both ends. The start point would be
moved from the WOOLY Fix to the HOGZZ, MD, waypoint (WP). The HOGZZ WP
is being renamed TWIRK, MD, WP. From the TWIRK WP, the route would
proceed to the BRILA, MD, WP, then to the WOOLY, MD, Fix where T-356
would join the route as currently charted to the SWANN, MD, Fix. The
GATBY, MD, Fix and the KERNO, MD, Fix would be removed from the route
description. From the SWANN Fix, the route would go to the ODESA, MD,
Fix. The ELUDE, MD, Fix would be removed from the description. After
the ODESA Fix, T-356 would be extended northward to the WIGGZ, PA, WP
(which will replace the Slate Run, PA (SLT), VOR and Tactical Air
Navigational System (VORTAC)). The following points would be added
after the ODESA Fix: APEER, MD,WP; REESY, PA, WP; FOLEZ, PA, WP; PIKKE,
PA, WP; BOYER, PA, WP; Ravine, PA (RAV), VORTAC; Selinsgrove, PA (SEG),
VHF Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME); and
the WIGGZ, PA, WP. T-356 would overlay airway V-170 from the PIKKE, PA,
WP to the WIGGZ, PA, WP. As amended, T-356 would extend from the TWIRK,
MD, WP to the WIGGZ, PA, WP.
    The following are proposed new T routes:
    T-448: T-448 would extend from the TOMYD, PA, WP to the FOLEZ, PA,
WP. The TOMYD WP is being moved 2.8 NM north of its current location.
T-448 would serve as a replacement for a portion of airway V-408 (but
not an exact overlay).
    T-451: T-451 would extend from the ROBRT, MD, Fix to the ELIOT, PA,
Fix. It would overlay a portion of airway V-39 from the ROBRT WP to the
ELIOT WP. The HEXSN, PA, WP is used in the route description in place
of the Lancaster, PA (LRP), VOR/DME.
    T-453: T-453 would extend from the VINNY, PA, Fix to the PARKE, NJ,
WP. T-453 would overlay airway V-457 from the VINNY Fix to the PARKE
WP.
    T-460: T-460 would extend from the Philipsburg, PA (PSB), VORTAC to
the GLYDE, MA, Fix. It would overlay a portion of airway V-576 from
Philipsburg to the ARRKK, NY, WP; and airway V-292 from the ARRKK WP to
the GLYDE, MA, WP.
    United States Area Navigation Routes are published in paragraph
6011 of FAA Order JO 7400.11F, dated August 10, 2021, and effective
September 15, 2021, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.
The routes listed in this document would be subsequently published in
FAA Order JO 7400.11.
    FAA Order JO 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.
