the applicable interval specified in Paragraph 

1.E., ‘‘Compliance,’’ of Boeing Alert Service 

Bulletin 747–53A2439, Revision 2, dated July 

17, 2008. 

(1) Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 

747–53A2439, Revision 2, dated July 17, 

2008, specifies a compliance time relative to 

the date of issuance of that service bulletin, 

this AD requires compliance within the 

specified compliance time after the effective 

date of this AD. 

(2) Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 

747–53A2439, Revision 2, dated July 17, 

2008, specifies contacting Boeing for repair 

data: Before further flight, repair using a 

method approved in accordance with the 

procedures specified in paragraph (o) of this 

AD. 

Optional New Modification for Areas 1, 2, 3, 

and 4

jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 154 / Wednesday, August 12, 2009 / Proposed Rules 40535 

The Proposal 

This action proposes to amend Title 

14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 

CFR), part 71 by adding additional Class 

E airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface for SIAPs 

operations at Mid-Way Regional 

Airport, Midlothian-Waxahachie, TX. 

This action would also reflect the name 

change of the airport from MidlothianWaxahachie Municipal Airport to MidWay Regional Airport and update the 

geographic coordinates. Controlled 

airspace is needed for the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. 

Class E airspace areas are published 

in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 

7400.9S, dated October 3, 2008, and 

effective October 31, 2008, 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 add 

additional controlled airspace at MidWay Regional Airport, MidlothianWaxahachie, TX. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71 

Airspace, Incorporation by reference, 

Navigation (Air). 

The Proposed Amendment 

In consideration of the foregoing, the 

Federal Aviation Administration 

proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as 

follows: 

PART 71—DESIGNATION OF CLASS A, 

B, C, D, AND E AIRSPACE AREAS; AIR 

TRAFFIC SERVICE ROUTES; AND

continues to read as follows:

40120; E.O. 10854, 24 FR 9565, 3 CFR, 1959– 

1963 Comp., p. 389. 

§ 71.1 [Amended] 

2. The incorporation by reference in 

14 CFR 71.1 of FAA Order 7400.9S, 

Airspace Designations and Reporting 

Points, dated October 3, 2008, and 

effective October 31, 2008, is amended 

as follows: 

Paragraph 6005 Class E Airspace areas 

extending upward from 700 feet or more 

above the surface of the earth.

Mid-Way Regional Airport, TX 

(Lat. 32°27′22′′ N., long. 96°54′46′′ W.) 

That airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface within a 6.5-mile 

radius of Mid-Way Regional Airport and 

within 1.8 miles each side of the 184° bearing 

from the airport extending from the 6.5-mile 

radius to 9.8 miles south of the airport.
