For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify that this AD: 

1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866;

Adoption of the Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as 

follows: 

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS 

DIRECTIVES 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 39 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new AD: 

2013–20–09 Bombardier, Inc.: Amendment 

39–17615. Docket No. FAA–2013–0833; 

Directorate Identifier 2012–NM–140–AD. 

(a) Effective Date 

This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes 

effective October 18, 2013. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Bombardier, Inc. Model 

CL–215–6B11 (CL–415 Variant) airplanes, 

certificated in any category, serial numbers 

2001 through 2076 inclusive. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 53, Fuselage. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by findings of 

chafed power wires due to flexing of the 

main distribution center (MDC) rack panel. 

We are issuing this AD to prevent damage to 

power wires, which could cause 

simultaneous loss of systems such as 

electrical power, pilot indications, and 

caution/advisory lighting systems, which are 

essential for safe flight.

You are responsible for having the actions 

required by this AD performed within the 

compliance times specified, unless the 

actions have already been done. 

(g) Replacement 

Within 13 months after the effective date 

of this AD: Replace the existing MDC rack 

panel assembly with a new rack panel 

assembly, in accordance with the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier 

Alert Service Bulletin 215–A4436, Revision 

1, dated February 2, 2012. A note in the 

Accomplishment Instructions section of 

Bombardier Alert Service Bulletin 215– 

A4436, Revision 1, dated February 2, 2012, 

instructs operators to contact Bombardier ‘‘if 

any deviation exists’’ in accomplishing the 

service bulletin; however, any deviation from 

the instructions provided in the service 

bulletin must be approved as an alternative 

method of compliance (AMOC) under 

paragraph (i)(1) of this AD. 

(h) Credit for Previous Actions 

This paragraph provides credit for actions 

required by paragraph (g) of this AD, if those 

actions were performed before the effective

14 CFR Part 71 

[Docket No. FAA–2013–0775; Airspace 

Docket No. 13–ASW–19] 

Establishment of Class E Airspace; 

Comanche, TX 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class 

E airspace at Comanche, TX. Controlled 

airspace is necessary to accommodate 

Area Navigation (RNAV) Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAP) 

at Comanche County-City Airport. The 

FAA found that SIAPs were established 

for the airport in 2006, but the Class E 

airspace area to contain it was never 

established, thereby prohibiting certain 

aircraft from using the procedures. This 


sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with RULES
61180 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 192 / Thursday, October 3, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 

seriously impacts the safety and 

management of instrument flight rules 

(IFR) operations at the airport. As a 

result, a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) has 

been issued suspending the use of the 

procedures until the Class E airspace 

area is established. 

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, 

November 14, 2013. The Director of the 

Federal Register approves this 

incorporation by reference action under 

1 CFR Part 51, subject to the annual 

revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and 

publication of conforming amendments.

Aviation Administration, Southwest 

Region, 2601 Meacham Blvd., Fort

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

In 2006, the RNAV (GPS) RWY 17 

standard instrument approach 

procedure was established for 

Comanche County-City Airport, 

Comanche, TX. The FAA discovered 

that the Class E transitional airspace 

area required by 14 CFR 71.71(c) was 

not established to contain the 

procedure. As a result, a NOTAM has 

been issued to designate the SIAP as 

‘‘Not Authorized’’ due to the lack of 

Class E airspace, prohibiting aircraft 

from using the SIAP until the required 

airspace can be established. 

Because of this, aircraft are unable to 

land in instrument meteorological 

conditions, which adversely impacts the 

utility and the safe and efficient use of 

the airport. Business aircraft based at 

Comanche County-City Airport incur 

added costs when diverting to alternate 

airports during poor weather conditions, 

and recreational and tourist flights have 

to be cancelled, creating negative effects 

on the local economy. This also restricts 

lifesaving aeromedical evacuation 

aircraft, which are forced to add critical 

flight time to their missions to land at 

alternate airports during periods of low 

ceilings and visibility as the nearest 

alternate airport with instrument 

approach capability is 20 miles away. 

It is in the public interest to restore 

IFR operations at Comanche CountyCity Airport as soon as possible to 

enhance the safe and efficient use of 

airspace at the airport and ensure that 

any critical medical evacuation 

operations are not delayed. Therefore, I 

find that notice and public procedure 

under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) is impracticable 

and contrary to the public interest. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

establishing Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

within an 8.7-mile radius of Comanche 

County-City Airport, Comanche, TX to 

contain aircraft executing standard 

instrument approach procedures at the 

airport. Controlled airspace enhances 

the safety and management of IFR 

operations at the airport. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. Therefore, this regulation: (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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does 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 establishes 

controlled airspace at Comanche 

County-City Airport, Comanche, TX. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 311a. This airspace action is 

not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.
