74412 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 239 / Tuesday, December 14, 2004 / Rules and Regulations 

Required parts would cost 

approximately $24,228 per engine. 

Based on these figures, we estimate the 

total cost of the AD to U.S. operators to 

be $1,705,060. The manufacturer 

informed us that it might provide the 

parts and labor to the operators at no 

cost, substantially reducing the cost 

impact of this rule. 

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 have determined that this AD will 

not have federalism implications under 

Executive Order 13132. This AD will 

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 that this AD: 

(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) 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. 

We prepared a summary of the costs 

to comply with this AD and placed it in 

the AD Docket. You may get a copy of 

this summary by sending a request to us 

at the address listed under ADDRESSES.

Include ‘‘AD Docket No. 2003–NE–09–

AD’’ in your request.

Amendment 39–13906. Docket No. 

2003–NE–09–AD. 

Effective Date 

(a) This AD becomes effective January 18, 

2005.

Office, has the authority to approve 

alternative methods of compliance for this 

AD if requested using the procedures found 

in 14 CFR 39.19.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY: This document makes a 

correction to Airworthiness Directive 

(AD) 2004–23–01, which was published 

in the Federal Register on November 9, 

2004 (69 FR 64832), and applies to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

On September 8, 2004, FAA issued 

AD 2004–23–01, Amendment 39–13856 

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 239 / Tuesday, December 14, 2004 / Rules and Regulations 74413

(69 FR 64832, November 9, 2004), 

which applies to certain Pilatus Aircraft 

Ltd. (Pilatus) Model PC–7 airplanes 

with any Lear Romec RR53710B type or 

Lear Romec RR53710K fuel booster 

pump (Pilatus part number 

968.84.11.401; 968.84.11.403; or 

968.84.11.404) installed. 

This AD requires you to check the 

airplane logbook to determine whether 

any installed fuel booster pump has 

been modified with spiral wrap to 

protect the wire leads and has the suffix 

letter ‘‘B’’ added to the serial number of 

the fuel booster pump identification 

plate. 

If any installed fuel booster pump has 

not been modified, you are required to 

inspect any installed fuel booster pump 

wire lead for defects; if defects are 

found, replace the fuel booster pump 

with a modified fuel booster pump with 

spiral wrap that protects the wire leads; 

or if no defects are found, install spiral 

wrap to protect any wire leads and add 

the suffix letter ‘‘B’’ to the serial number 

of the fuel booster pump identification 

plate. 

The pilot is allowed to do the logbook 

check. If the pilot can positively 

determine that the fuel booster pump 

wire leads with spiral wrap are installed 

following the service information and 

that the suffix letter ‘‘B’’ is included in 

the serial number of the fuel booster 

pump identification plate, no further 

action is required. 

Need for the Correction 

The FAA incorrectly referenced the 

amendment number as Amendment 39–

13856. The correct amendment number 

is Amendment 39–13892. This 

correction is needed to ensure that the 

amendment number is correct and to 

eliminate misunderstanding in the field. 

Correction of Publication

Accordingly, the publication of 

November 9, 2004 (69 FR 64832), of 

Amendment 39–13856; AD 2004–23–01, 

which was the subject of FR Doc. 04–

24717, is corrected as follows: 

On page 64832, column 1, lines 18 

and 19, replace Amendment 39–13856 

with Amendment 39–13892.

§ 39.13 [Corrected]

■ On page 64833, in § 39.13 [Amended], 

revise the phrase ‘‘Amendment 39–

13856’’ to read, ‘‘Amendment 39–

13892’’.

■ Action is taken herein to correct this 

reference in AD 2004–23–01 and to add 

this AD correction to § 39.13 of the 

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 

39.13).

The effective date remains December 

27, 2004.

December 8, 2004.

IFR Altitudes; Miscellaneous 

Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts 

miscellaneous amendments to the 

required IFR (instrument flight rules) 

altitudes and changeover points for 

certain Federal airways, jet routes, or 

direct routes for which a minimum or 

maximum en route authorized IFR 

altitude is prescribed. This regulatory 

action is needed because of changes 

occurring in the National Airspace 

System. These changes are designed to 

provide for the safe and efficient use of 

the navigable airspace under instrument 

conditions in the affected areas.
