Authority for This Rulemaking 

Title 49 of the United States Code 

specifies the FAA’s authority to issue 

rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, 

section 106, describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. ‘‘Subtitle VII: 

Aviation Programs,’’ describes in more 

detail the scope of the Agency’s 

authority. 

We are issuing this rulemaking under 

the authority described in ‘‘Subtitle VII, 

Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: 

General requirements.’’ Under that 

section, Congress charges the FAA with 

promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in 

air commerce by prescribing regulations 

for practices, methods, and procedures 

the Administrator finds necessary for 

safety in air commerce. This regulation 

is within the scope of that authority 

because it addresses an unsafe condition 

that is likely to exist or develop on 

products identified in this rulemaking 

action. 

Regulatory Findings 

We determined that this proposed AD 

would not have federalism implications 

under Executive Order 13132. This 

proposed AD would not have a 

substantial direct effect on the States, on 

the relationship between the national 

Government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify this proposed regulation: 

1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866; 

2. Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the 

DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures 

(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and 

3. Will not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this proposed AD and placed it in the 

AD docket.

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 

39 as follows:

2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new AD: 

Turbomeca S.A.: Docket No. FAA–2012– 

0901; Directorate Identifier 2012–NE– 

19–AD. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

We must receive comments by November

(d) Reason 

This AD was prompted by several reports 

of uncommanded in-flight shutdown on 

Arriel 1 engines. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent an uncommanded in-flight shutdown 

of the engine, which could result in an 

emergency landing. 

(e) Actions and Compliance 

Unless already done, from the effective 

date of this AD, do the following. After any 

Level 3 maintenance action on the gas 

generator (GG) rotating assembly and before 

returning the engine to service, accomplish a 

high GG speed (NG) rating vibration check. 

(f) Definition 

Level 3 maintenance on the GG rotating 

assembly is when the Module 03 is removed 

from the helicopter for implementation of 

deep maintenance operation to be performed 

in accordance with the applicable 

maintenance instructions.

the airport and update the geographic 

coordinates. The FAA is taking this 

action to enhance the safety and 

management of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) operations for SIAPs at the airport.

Advisory Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking 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 amending Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface to accommodate 

new standard instrument approach 

procedures at Gaylord Regional Airport, 

Gaylord, MI. The airport name would 

also be updated from Otsego County 

Airport to Gaylord Regional Airport, as 

well as the airport’s geographic 

coordinates, to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database. 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 

7400.9V, dated August 9, 2011 and 

effective September 15, 2011, 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, 

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 

amend controlled airspace at Gaylord 

Regional Airport, Gaylord, MI. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.
