322, and A330–323 airplanes, certificated in 

any category, all manufacturer serial 

numbers. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 78, Engine exhaust. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by a report of 

fatigue cracking in the latch beam gussets on 

a certain thrust reverser (T/R). We are issuing 

this AD to address this condition, which, if 

not detected and corrected, could lead to 

crack propagation until part failure and 

potential departure of the T/R cascade during 

T/R operation, which could result in damage 

to the airplane and hazards to persons or 

property on the ground. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Requirements 

Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this 

AD: Comply with all required actions and 

compliance times specified in, and in 

accordance with, the European Aviation 

Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2018–0227, dated 

October 22, 2018 (‘‘EASA AD 2018–0227’’). 

(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2018–0227 

(1) For purposes of determining 

compliance with the requirements of this AD: 

Where EASA AD 2018–0227 refers to its 

effective date, this AD requires using the 

effective date of this AD. 

(2) The ‘‘Remarks’’ section of EASA AD 

2018–0227 does not apply to this AD. 

(i) Other FAA AD Provisions 

The following provisions also apply to this 

AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, International 

Section, Transport Standards Branch, FAA, 

has the authority to approve AMOCs for this 

AD, if requested using the procedures found 

in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 

39.19, send your request to your principal 

inspector or local Flight Standards District 

Office, as appropriate. If sending information 

directly to the International Section, send it 

to the attention of the person identified in 

paragraph (j)(2) of this AD. Information may 

be emailed to: 9-ANM-116-AMOCREQUESTS@faa.gov. Before using any 

approved AMOC, notify your appropriate 

principal inspector, or lacking a principal 

inspector, the manager of the local flight 

standards district office/certificate holding 

district office. 

(2) Contacting the Manufacturer: For any 

requirement in this AD to obtain instructions 

from a manufacturer, the instructions must 

be accomplished using a method approved 

by the Manager, International Section, 

Transport Standards Branch, FAA; or EASA; 

or Airbus SAS’s EASA Design Organization 

Approval (DOA). If approved by the DOA, 

the approval must include the DOAauthorized signature. 

(3) Required for Compliance (RC): For any 

service information referenced in EASA AD 

2018–0227 that contain RC procedures and 

tests: Except as required by paragraph (i)(2) 

of this AD, RC procedures and tests must be 

done to comply with this AD; any procedures 

or tests 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 

done and the airplane can be put back in an 

airworthy condition. Any substitutions or 

changes to procedures or tests identified as 

RC require approval of an AMOC.

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.

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 in the 

eastern United States to improve the

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 

proposed rule. 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 to amend RNAV route 

T–299 and establish T–318 and T–360. 

The proposed route changes are 

described below. 

T–299: T–299 currently extends 

between the UCREK, VA, waypoint 

(WP), (located south of Staunton, VA), 

and the SCAPE, PA, fix (located east of 

Chambersburg, PA). The proposed 

change would extend the route to the 

OBEPE, VA, fix (approximately 11 NM 

southwest of the UCREK WP) providing 

connectivity to VOR Federal airway V– 

290. 

T–318: T–318 is a proposed new route 

that would extend between the JARLO, 

WV, WP and the SHERL, NY, WP. This 

would provide RNAV routing from the 

Charleston, WV, area, eastward to 

Virginia, then northeastward to the New 

York City area. 

T–360: T–360 is a proposed new route 

that would extend between West 

Virginia and the Richmond, VA, area. It 

would also provide connectivity to 

routes T–299 and T–318. 

United States Area Navigation Routes 

are published in paragraph 6011 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 RNAV routes listed in this 

document would be subsequently 

published in the Order. 

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.

The Proposed Amendment 

In consideration of the foregoing, the 

Federal Aviation Administration 

proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as 

follows:

1959–1963 Comp., p. 389. 

§ 71.1 [Amended] 

■ 2. The incorporation by reference in 

14 CFR 71.1 of FAA Order 7400.11C, 

Airspace Designations and Reporting 

Points, dated August 13, 2018, and

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

remove jet route J–147 which currently

Casanova, VA. This action is necessary 

due to the planned decommissioning of 

the Greenbrier, WV, VOR/DME 

navigation aid which provides 

navigation guidance for segments of the 

route. The Greenbrier VOR/DME is 

being decommissioned as part of the 

FAA’s VOR Minimum Operational 

Network (MON) program.

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 

modify the route structure as necessary 

to preserve the safe and efficient flow of 

air traffic within the National Airspace 

System.
