52702 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 197 / Wednesday, October 14, 2009 / Proposed Rules 

in lieu of the requirements of 

§ 25.981(a)(3): 

(a) The Boeing Company must show 

that the airplane design meets the 

requirements of part 25, Appendix M, as 

amended by Amendment 25–125, for all 

fuel tanks installed on the airplane. 

(b) The Boeing Company must show 

that the design includes at least two 

independent, effective, and reliable 

lightning protection features (or sets of 

features) such that fault tolerance to 

prevent lightning-related ignition 

sources is provided for each area of the 

structural design proposed to be shown 

compliant with these special conditions 

in lieu of compliance with the 

requirements of § 25.981(a)(3). Fault 

tolerance is not required for any specific 

design feature if: 

(1) for that feature, providing fault 

tolerance is shown to be impractical, 

and 

(2) fuel tank vapor ignition due to that 

feature and all other non-fault-tolerant 

features, when their fuel tank vapor 

ignition event probabilities are summed, 

is shown to be extremely improbable. 

(c) The applicant must perform an 

analysis to show that the design, 

manufacturing processes, and 

airworthiness limitations section of the 

instructions for continued airworthiness 

include all practical measures to 

prevent, and detect and correct, failures 

of structural lightning protection 

features due to manufacturing 

variability, aging, wear, corrosion, and 

likely damage.

Washington, DC 20591, or by calling 

(202) 267–8783. Communications must 

identify both docket numbers for this 

notice. Persons interested in being 

placed on a mailing list for future 

NPRMs should contact the FAA’s Office

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 adding additional Class 

E airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface for SIAPs 

operations at Llano Municipal Airport, 

Llano, TX. This action would also 

update the geographic coordinates of 

Llano Municipal Airport. 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 

7400.9T, dated August 27, 2009, and 

effective September 15, 2009, 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, 


cprice-sewell on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 197 / Wednesday, October 14, 2009 / Proposed Rules 52703 

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 Llano Municipal 

Airport, Llano, TX.
