Note 1: This AD applies to each airplane

identified in the preceding applicability

provision, regardless of whether it has been

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 high velocity separation of a

brake system accumulator barrel, piston, or

end cap; which could result in injury to

personnel in the wheel well area, loss of

cabin pressurization, loss of certain hydraulic

systems, or damage to the fuel line of the

auxiliary power unit; accomplish the

following:

Replacement

(a) Within 3,000 flight hours after the

effective date of this AD, replace any brake

system accumulator that has aluminum end

caps with an accumulator that has stainless

steel end caps in accordance with Boeing

Service Bulletin 747–32–2461, dated August

19, 1999.

Spares

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

person shall install a brake system

accumulator having part number BACA11E1

or BACA11E5 on any airplane.

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 Permits

(d) Special flight permits may be issued in

accordance with sections 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.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) to

amend Class D airspace at Key West

International Airport, FL, and establish

Class D airspace at Key West NAS. Key

West NAS currently is included in the

Key West International Airport Class D

area airspace. Class D airspace is

required to accommodate current

Standard Instrument Approach

Procedures (SIAP’s) and contain

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations

at Key West NAS. As a result of this

proposed action, the Key West

International Airport Class D airspace

would be reduced concurrent with the

establishment of the Class D airspace at

Key West NAS. Class D airspace

designations are published in Paragraph

5000 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 Class D airspace designations

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,

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 Proposed Amendment

In consideration of the foregoing, the

Federal Aviation Administration

proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as

1963 Comp., p. 389.
