intervals) as specified in the ALI (Airworthiness Limitation Items) tasks 57.18.16 have to be reviewed in order to comply with certification requirements. Consequently AIRBUS Service Bulletin (SB) A340–57–5011 has been issued to supersede the ALI tasks 57.18.16.

This AD mandates a repetitive inspection program in order to detect any crack by means of two Non-Destructive Test (NDT) inspection methods (High Frequency Eddy Current and Ultra Sonic).

This AD has been revised in order to exclude from the applicability section, A340– 642 aircraft on which a terminating action modification 56026 or SB A340–57–5010 has been embodied and which consists of a large cut-out of the vertical cruciform flange in order to reduce the stress level in this critical

area. 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.

Actions

(g) Do the following actions. (1) At the applicable time specified in the table titled, ‘‘ THRESHOLDS ’’ in paragraph 1.E.(2) of Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A340–57–5011, dated June 27, 2007, or within 3 months after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later; except that where the table expresses times in terms of

‘‘ flight cycles ’’ and ‘‘ flight hours, ’’ those terms

mean ‘‘total flight cycles ’’ and ‘‘total flight hours ’’ for purposes of this AD: Perform the NDT inspections of the cruciform fittingradius at Frame 47 on the right-hand and lefthand sides, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A340–57–5011, dated June 27, 2007.

(i) If the inspection was done on or after the effective date of this AD: Submit the report within 30 days after the inspection.

(ii) If the inspection was accomplished prior to the effective date of this AD: Submit the report within 30 days after the effective date of this AD.

(3) If no crack is detected during an inspection required by paragraph (g)(1) of this AD, apply sealant before further flight, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A340–57–5011, dated June 27, 2007. Repeat the inspection required by paragraph (g)(1) of this AD thereafter at the applicable interval specified in paragraph 1.E.(2) of Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A340–57– 5011, dated June 27, 2007.

(4) If any crack is found during any inspection required by paragraph (g)(1) of this AD, contact Airbus to get repair instructions and repair before further flight.

(5) Modifying the rear spar vertical cruciform at frame 47 in accordance with Airbus Service Bulletin A340–57–5010, Revision 01, dated April 2, 2008, terminates the inspection requirements of paragraphs (g)(1) and (g)(3) of this AD.

(6) After accomplishing the initial inspections required by paragraph (g)(1) of this AD or after the modification specified in paragraph (g)(5) of this AD is done, the limitation Tasks 57.18.16 (10 different tasks) of Airbus A340–500/600 Airworthiness Limitation Items need not be done.

(7) Modifying the rear spar vertical cruciform at frame 47 is also acceptable for compliance with the requirements of paragraph (g)(5) of this AD if done before the effective date of this AD in accordance with Airbus Service Bulletin A340–57–5010, dated September 28, 2007.

### : History

On November 24, 2009, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking to amend Class E airspace for Stamford, TX, reconfiguring controlled airspace at Arledge Field Airport (74 FR 61289) Docket No. FAA–2009–0876. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9T signed August 27, 2009, and effective September 15, 2009, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR Part 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by amending Class E airspace for the Stamford, TX area, adding additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to accommodate SIAPs at Arledge Field Airport. This action is necessary for 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 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 amends controlled airspace at Arledge Field Airport, Stamford, TX.
