authority delegated to me by the

Administrator, the Federal Aviation

Administration proposes to amend part

39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations

(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. Section 39.13 is amended by

adding the following new airworthiness

directive:

Boeing: Docket 2000–NM–107–AD.

Applicability: All Model 737–300, –400,

and –500 series airplanes; certificated in any

category.

Note 1: This AD applies to each airplane

identified in the preceding applicability

provision, regardless of whether it has been

modified, altered, or repaired in the area

subject to the requirements of this AD. For

airplanes that have been modified, altered, or

repaired so that the performance of the

requirements of this AD is affected, the

owner/operator must request approval for an

alternative method of compliance in

accordance with paragraph (c) of this AD.

The request should include an assessment of

the effect of the modification, alteration, or

repair on the unsafe condition addressed by

this AD; and, if the unsafe condition has not

been eliminated, the request should include

specific proposed actions to address it.

Compliance: Required as indicated, unless

accomplished previously.

To prevent a severe asymmetric thrust

condition during flight which could result in

loss of control of the airplane, accomplish the

following:

Replacement

(a) Within 1 year after the effective date of

this AD: Replace the existing autothrottle

computer with a new, improved autothrottle

computer in accordance with Boeing Alert

Service Bulletin 737–22A1130, dated

September 24, 1998.

Spares

(b) As of the effective date of this AD, no

person shall install on any airplane, an

autothrottle computer having part number

10–62017–1, –2, –3, –4, –5, –11, –21, –23,

–25, or –27.

Alternative Methods of Compliance

(c) An alternative method of compliance or

adjustment of the compliance time that

provides an acceptable level of safety may be

used if approved by the Manager, Seattle

Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA,

Transport Airplane Directorate. Operators

shall submit their requests through an

appropriate FAA Principal Maintenance

Inspector, who may add comments and then

send it to the Manager, Seattle ACO.

Note 2: Information concerning the

existence of approved alternative methods of

compliance with this AD, if any, may be

obtained from the Seattle ACO.

Special Flight Permit

(d) Special flight permits may be issued in

accordance with §§ 21.197 and 21.199 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 21.197

and 21.199) to operate the airplane to a

location where the requirements of this AD

can be accomplished.

of Advisory Circular No. 11–2A, Notice

of Proposed Rulemaking Distribution

System, which describes the application

procedure.

Background

On October 10, 1996, the Dallas/Fort

Worth Metroplex Plan (DFW/MP) was

implemented. The DFW/MP was a

major airspace redesign project which,

in part, decommissioned four Very High

Frequency Omnidirectional Range/

Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) and

relocated and commissioned four new

VORTAC facilities. The four new

navigational VORTAC facilities were

designed to enhance the management of

aircraft operations in the vicinity of

DFW. In support of the DFW/MP, the

FAA amended twelve VOR Federal

airways (61 FR 41736). However, since

the implementation of this amended

Federal airway structure the FAA has

discovered that further amendment of

the existing airway structure would

improve aircraft movement and thus

management of the navigable airspace in

the DFW area. Therefore, revisions to

the current airway system in the DFW

area are necessary.

The Proposal

The FAA is proposing to amend part

71 of Title 14 Code of Federal

Regulations to revise fourteen Federal

airways in the vicinity of Dallas/Fort

Worth, TX. The proposed rule would

amend the following Federal airways:

V–15, V–16, V–17, V–566 by modifying

the route descriptions; V–63, V–69, V–

131, V–305, V–507, V–573 by amending

the start points; and V–66, V–163, V–

358, and V–407 by modifying the end

points. The FAA is proposing this

action to simplify the airway structure,

thereby, enhancing the management of

aircraft operations in the area.

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 Department of

Transportation (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.

Federal airways are published in

paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order

7400.9G dated September 1, 1999, and

effective September 16, 1999, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The Federal airways listed in this

document would be published

subsequently in the Order.

The Proposed Amendment

In consideration of the foregoing, the

Federal Aviation Administration

proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as

CLASS B, CLASS C, CLASS D, AND

CLASS E AIRSPACE AREAS;
