70208 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 232 / Friday, December 3, 2004 / Proposed Rules 

Initial and Repetitive Inspections for 

Cracking and Corrective Action 

(k) If, during any HFEC inspection required 

by paragraph (h) or (i) of this AD, any fitting 

is found not to be made of 7075–T73 or 

7050–T7451 material, before further flight, 

perform a detailed inspection for cracks of 

the fitting in accordance with the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing 

Special Attention Service Bulletin 747–53–

2485, dated January 8, 2004. 

(1) If no crack is detected, repeat the 

detailed inspection specified in paragraph (k) 

of this AD thereafter at intervals not to 

exceed 36 months or 2,000 flight cycles, 

whichever comes first. Doing the 

replacement specified in paragraph (k)(2) of 

this AD ends the repetitive inspections for 

the replaced fitting.

(2) If any crack is detected, before further 

flight, replace the fitting with a fitting made 

of 7075–T73 or 7050–T7451 material in 

accordance with the Accomplishment 

Instructions of Boeing Special Attention 

Service Bulletin 747–53–2485, dated January 

8, 2004. No further action is required by this 

AD for that fitting; however, paragraph (l) of 

this AD still applies. 

Parts Installation 

(l) As of the date specified in paragraph 

(l)(1) or (l)(2) of this AD, as applicable, no 

person shall install on any airplane a stop 

support fitting of the MEDs made from either 

7079–T651 or 7075–T651 material. 

(1) For airplanes having line numbers 1 

through 830 inclusive: As of January 25, 

1999. 

(2) For airplanes having line numbers 831 

through 1301 inclusive: As of the effective 

date of this AD. 

Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs) 

(m)(1) The Manager, Seattle Aircraft 

Certification Office (ACO), FAA, has the 

authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if 

requested using the procedures found in 14 

CFR 39.19. 

(2) AMOCs, approved previously per AD 

98–26–13, amendment 39–10954, are 

approved as AMOCs with paragraph (f) or (g) 

of this AD, as applicable. However, any stop 

support fitting, 2L through 6L and 2R 

through 6R, of MED 3 that was replaced is 

still required to be inspected as required in 

paragraph (h) of this AD.

Rulemaking Distribution System, which

Background 

The Drummond VOR has been out of 

service since April 2003, for the reasons 

discussed below, and the site on which 

the VOR was located was leased land. 

In 2002, the FAA learned that the 

landowner had constructed a house 

within 1,000 feet of the VOR without 

providing proper notice to the FAA. The 

VOR was temporarily taken out of 

service until the impacts of the house 

could he identified. A subsequent flight 

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 232 / Friday, December 3, 2004 / Proposed Rules 70209

check of the VOR indicated that the 

house did not cause a problem; 

however, large vehicles parked near the 

VOR facility were interfering with the 

integrity of the signal. As such, portions 

of the airways have been NOTAMed out 

of service. Additionally, subsequent to 

this NOTAM action the Drummond 

VOR was decommissioned on January 

13, 2004. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 (part 71) to revise V–

2, V–257, and V–343 southeast of 

Missoula, MT. Specifically, this notice 

is proposing to eliminate segments of V–

2 and V–343. It would also establish 

new airway segments on V–2 (between 

Missoula, MT, and Helena, MT) and V–

257 (between SCAAT intersection and 

the Coppertown VOR). 

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. 

Therefore, this proposed regulation: (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.

Drawbridge Operation Regulations; 

Skidaway Bridge (SR 204), Intracoastal 

Waterway, Mile 592.9, Savannah, 

Chatham County, GA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to 

change the operating regulations of the 

Skidaway Bridge (SR 204) across the 

Intracoastal Waterway, mile 592.9 in 

Savannah, Georgia. This proposed rule 

would allow the drawbridge to not open 

from 6:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. 

to 6:30 p.m., daily. Due to the amount 

of vehicle traffic and the lack of 

openings during the requested time 

period, this proposed action would 

improve the movement of vehicular 

traffic while not unreasonably 

interfering with the movement of vessel 

traffic. Public vessels of the United 

States, tugs with tows, and vessels in 

distress would be passed at anytime.

DATES: Comments and related material 

must reach the Coast Guard on or before 

February 1, 2005.

ADDRESSES: You may mail comments 

and related material to Commander 

(obr), Seventh Coast Guard District, 909 

S.E. 1st Avenue, Room 432, Miami, FL, 

33131–3050, who maintains the public 

docket for this rulemaking. Comments 

and material received from the public, 

as well as documents indicated in this 

preamble as being available in the 

docket, will become part of this docket 

and will be available for inspection or 

copying at Commander (obr), Seventh 

Coast Guard District, between 7:30 a.m. 

and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

except Federal holidays.
