Subject 

(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 34: Navigation. 

Unsafe Condition 

(e) This AD results from reports of 

anomalies with TCAS units during a flight 

test over a high density airport. The TCAS 

units dropped several reduced surveillance 

aircraft tracks because of interference 

limiting. The Federal Aviation 

Administration is issuing this AD to prevent 

TCAS units from dropping tracks, which 

could compromise separation of air traffic 

and lead to subsequent mid-air collisions. 

Compliance 

(f) You are responsible for having the 

actions required by this AD performed within 

the compliance times specified, unless the 

actions have already been done. 

Upgrade Software 

(g) Within 48 months after the effective 

date of this AD, upgrade software for the 

ACSS TCAS, in accordance with the 

Accomplishment Instructions of the 

applicable ACSS service bulletin identified 

in Table 1 of this AD. 

Note 1: ACSS Publication Number 

8008233–001, dated June 4, 2010, ATA 

Service Bulletin 9000000–34–6016, contains 

three part numbers (P/Ns 9000000–10007, 

–20007, and –55007) which were never 

produced. 

Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(h)(1) The Manager, Los Angeles 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. Send information to Attn: Abby 

Malmir, Aerospace Engineer, Systems and 

Equipment Branch, ANM–130L, FAA, Los 

Angeles ACO, 3960 Paramount Boulevard, 

Lakewood, California 90712–4137; telephone 

(562) 627–5351; fax (562) 627–5210. 

(2) To request a different method of 

compliance or a different compliance time 

for this AD, follow the procedures in 14 CFR 

39.19. Before using any approved AMOC on 

any airplane to which the AMOC applies, 

notify your principal maintenance inspector 

(PMI) or principal avionics inspector (PAI), 

as appropriate, or lacking a principal

Persons interested in being placed on

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking 

(202) 267–9677, to request a copy of 

Advisory Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking Distribution 

System, which describes the application 

procedure. 

The Proposal 

This action proposes to amend Title 

14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 

CFR), part 71 by amending Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface for SIAP 

operations at M. Graham Clark-Taney 

Field Airport, Point Lookout, MO. 

Controlled airspace is needed for the 

safety and management of IFR 

operations at the airport. The airport 

name also would be changed from M. 

Graham Clark Airport to M. Graham 

Clark-Taney Field Airport. 

Class E airspace areas are published 

in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 

7400.9U, dated August 18, 2010 and 

effective September 15, 2010, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document would be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

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 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 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. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

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 would amend controlled 

airspace at M. Graham Clark-Taney 

Field Airport, Point Lookout, MO.

The Proposed Amendment 

In consideration of the foregoing, the 

Federal Aviation Administration

1963 Comp., p. 389. 

§ 71.1 [Amended] 

2. The incorporation by reference in 

14 CFR 71.1 of FAA Order 7400.9U, 

Airspace Designations and Reporting 

Points, dated August 18, 2010, and 

effective September 15, 2010, is
