54458 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 203 / Thursday, October 22, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

Conclusion 

This action affects only certain novel 

or unusual design features of the Alenia 

C–27J. It is not a rule of general 

applicability, and it affects only the 

applicant that applied to the FAA for 

approval of these features on the 

airplane. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 25 

Aircraft, Aviation safety, Reporting 

and recordkeeping requirements. 

■ The authority citation for these 

special conditions is as follows: 

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

44702, 44704. 

The Special Conditions 

■ Accordingly, pursuant to the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the following special conditions are 

issued as part of the type certification 

basis for the C–27J airplane. 

General 

1. The liquid-oxygen system must be 

located to minimize the possibility of 

exposure of occupants to liquid oxygen 

from a leak or condensation. 

2. The liquid-oxygen converter must 

be located in the airplane so that there 

is no risk of damage to the converter due 

to an uncontained rotor or propellerblade failure. 

3. The liquid-oxygen system’s 

associated gaseous-oxygen-distribution 

lines should be designed and located to 

minimize the hazard from uncontained 

rotor or propeller-blade debris. 

4. The flight-deck oxygen system must 

meet the supply requirements of part 

121 in the event the oxygen-distribution 

line is severed by a rotor or propellerblade fragment. 

5. The pressure-relief valves on the 

liquid-oxygen converters must be 

vented overboard. The ventilation 

means must be configured such that 

liquid and gaseous oxygen will be 

exhausted so that oxygen will not 

accumulate inside the airplane. Means 

must be provided to prevent 

hydrocarbon-fluid migration from 

impinging upon the vent outlet of the 

liquid-oxygen system. 

6. The system must include 

provisions to ensure complete 

conversion of the liquid oxygen to 

gaseous oxygen. The resultant oxygen 

gas must be delivered to the first oxygen 

outlet for breathing such that the 

temperature is no more than 35°F less 

than the cabin ambient temperature or 

32°F (whichever is greater), under the 

conditions of the maximum demand or 

flow of oxygen gas for normal use of the 

oxygen system. A liquid-oxygen shutoff 

valve must be installed on the main 

oxygen-distribution line prior to any 

secondary lines. The shutoff valve must 

be both compatible with liquid-oxygen 

temperatures and readily accessible 

(either directly if manual, or by remote 

activation if automatic). 

7. If multiple converters are used, the 

design should ensure that a leak in one 

converter does not result in leakage of 

oxygen from any other converter. 

8. Approved flexible hoses must be 

used for the airplane-systems 

connections to shock-mounted 

converters, where movement relative to 

the airplane may occur. 

9. Condensation from system 

components or lines must be collected 

by drip pans, shields, or other suitable 

collection means, and drained 

overboard through a drain fitting 

separate from the liquid-oxygen vent 

fitting, as specified in special condition 

5, above. 

10. Oxygen-system components must 

be burst-pressure tested to 3.0 times, 

and proof-pressure tested to 1.5 times, 

the maximum normal operating 

pressure. Compliance with the 

requirement for burst testing may be 

shown by similarity analysis, or a 

combination of similarity analysis and 

test. 

11. Oxygen-system components must 

be electrically bonded to the airplane 

structure. 

12. All gaseous or liquid-oxygen 

connections located in close proximity 

to an ignition source must be shrouded 

and vented overboard using the system 

specified in special condition 5, above. 

13. A means must be provided to 

indicate to the flight crew the quantity 

of available oxygen. 

14. Instructions for Continued 

Airworthiness (ICA) per § 25.1529 must 

be provided for the safe operation and 

maintenance of the liquid-oxygen 

system. 

15. Emergency procedures must be 

developed for the aircraft crew to 

address aircraft-safety-related 

malfunctions of the liquid-oxygen 

system. 

16. The liquid-oxygen-system 

equipment, including the tank, must be 

retained under all loads up to those 

specified in § 25.561(b)(3). The tank 

must be able to resist rupture and to 

retain the liquid oxygen, under the 

inertia forces prescribed for the 

emergency-landing conditions in 

§ 25.561. In addition, the tank must be 

able to withstand, without failure, the 

vibration, inertia, fluid, and structural 

loads that it may be subjected to in 

operation. The liquid-oxygen 

components, including the tank, must 

be protected from scraping or impact 

from baggage, cargo, or other contents.

[Docket No. 30691; Amdt. No. 3343] 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums 

and Obstacle Departure Procedures; 

Miscellaneous Amendments 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, 

suspends, or revokes Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures 

(SIAPs) and associated Takeoff 

Minimums and Obstacle Departure 

Procedures for operations at certain 

airports. These regulatory actions are 

needed because of the adoption of new 

or revised criteria, or because of changes 

occurring in the National Airspace 

System, such as the commissioning of 

new navigational facilities, adding new 

obstacles, or changing air traffic 

requirements. These changes are 

designed to provide safe and efficient 

use of the navigable airspace and to 

promote safe flight operations under 

instrument flight rules at the affected 

airports. 

DATES: This rule is effective October 22, 

2009. The compliance date for each 

SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, 

and ODP is specified in the amendatory 

provisions. 

The incorporation by reference of 

certain publications listed in the 

regulations is approved by the Director 

of the Federal Register as of October 22, 

2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule 

amends Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97) by 

amending the referenced SIAPs. The 

complete regulatory description of each 

SIAP is listed on the appropriate FAA 

Form 8260, as modified by the National 

Flight Data Center (FDC)/Permanent 

Notice to Airmen (P–NOTAM), and is 

incorporated by reference in the 

amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 

CFR part 51, and § 97.20 of Title 14 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations. 

The large number of SIAPs, their 

complex nature, and the need for a 

special format make their verbatim 

publication in the Federal Register 

expensive and impractical. Further, 

airmen do not use the regulatory text of 

the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic 

depiction on charts printed by 

publishers of aeronautical materials. 

Thus, the advantages of incorporation 

by reference are realized and 

publication of the complete description 

of each SIAP contained in FAA form 

documents is unnecessary. This 

amendment provides the affected CFR 

sections and specifies the types of SIAP 

and the corresponding effective dates. 

This amendment also identifies the 

airport and its location, the procedure 

and the amendment number. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is 

effective upon publication of each 

separate SIAP as amended in the 

transmittal. For safety and timeliness of 

change considerations, this amendment 

incorporates only specific changes 

contained for each SIAP as modified by 

FDC/P–NOTAMs. 

The SIAPs, as modified by FDC 

P–NOTAM, and contained in this 

amendment are based on the criteria 

contained in the U.S. Standard for 

Terminal Instrument Procedures 

(TERPS). In developing these changes to 

SIAPs, the TERPS criteria were applied 

only to specific conditions existing at 

the affected airports. All SIAP 

amendments in this rule have been 

previously issued by the FAA in a FDC 

NOTAM as an emergency action of 

immediate flight safety relating directly 

to published aeronautical charts. The 

circumstances which created the need 

for all these SIAP amendments requires 

making them effective in less than 30 

days. 

Because of the close and immediate 

relationship between these SIAPs and 

safety in air commerce, I find that notice 

and public procedure before adopting 

these SIAPs are impracticable and 

contrary to the public interest and, 

where applicable, that good cause exists 

for making these SIAPs effective in less 

than 30 days. 

Conclusion 

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. 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. For the same reason, the 

FAA certifies that this amendment will 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.
