actions required by paragraphs (j) and (k)(2) 

of this AD, if those actions were performed 

before the effective date of this AD using 

Airbus Service Bulletin A320–52–1170, 

dated September 5, 2016. 

(2) This paragraph provides credit for the 

optional terminating modification specified 

in paragraph (k)(1) of this AD, if those actions 

were performed before the effective date of 

this AD using Airbus Service Bulletin A320– 

52–1042, Revision 2, dated January 14, 1997. 

(p) Parts Installation Limitation 

As of the effective date of this AD, no 

person may install, on any airplane, an 

affected door specified in paragraph (g) of 

this AD, unless less than 56,300 flight cycles 

have accumulated since first installation of 

the door on an airplane, and unless the door 

has been inspected in accordance with the 

requirements of paragraph (h) of this AD and 

all applicable corrective actions have been 

done in accordance with paragraph (i) of this 

AD. 

(q) Other FAA AD Provisions 

The following provisions also apply to this 

AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance

that are not identified as RC are 

recommended. Those procedures and tests 

that are not identified 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 

procedures and tests identified as RC can be

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 amends 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

1,200 feet above the surface at Atqasuk 

Edward Burnell Sr. Memorial Airport, 

AK, to support IFR operations in 

standard instrument approach and 

departure procedures at the airport. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (83 FR 46434; September 13, 

2018) for Docket No. FAA–2018–0577 to 

modify Class E airspace extending 

upward from 1,200 feet above the 

surface at Atqasuk Edward Burnell Sr. 

Memorial Airport, Atqasuk, AK, and to 

add exclusionary language to the legal 

description of the airport to ensure the 

safety and management of aircraft 

within the National Airspace System. 

Also, the geographic coordinates of the 

airport would be updated. Interested 

parties were invited to participate in 

this rulemaking effort by submitting 

written comments on the proposal to the 

FAA. No comments were received. 

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 designation 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends 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 Rule 

The FAA is amending Title 14 Code 

of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

by modifying Class E airspace extending 

upward from 1,200 feet above the 

surface at Atqasuk Edward Burnell Sr. 

Memorial Airport, Atqasuk, AK. Also, 

language has been added to the legal 

description of the airport to exclude that 

airspace extending beyond 12 miles of 

the shoreline. This action supports IFR 

operations in standard instrument 

approach and departure procedures at 

the airport. 

Additionally, an editorial change 

made to the airport’s geographic 

coordinates brings them up to date with 

FAA’s aeronautical database. 

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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this 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 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 5–6.5a. This airspace action 

is not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.
