The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA proposes to amend 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. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new AD: 

EADS SOCATA: Docket No. FAA–2006–

26234; Directorate Identifier 2006–CE–

64–AD. 

Comments Due Date 

(a) We must receive comments by 

December 18, 2006. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to SOCATA TBM 700 

airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in 

any category. 

Reason 

(d) The mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) states this 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) was prompted 

by reports of loose rivets on frames C18 BIS 

and C19, which, if not corrected, could result 

in a reduced structural integrity of the tail 

area. 

Actions and Compliance 

(e) Unless already done, within the next 

100 hours time-in-service (TIS) or 12 months, 

whichever occurs later after the effective date 

of this AD, and thereafter at intervals not to 

exceed 100 hours TIS, accomplish a detailed 

inspection of the area and apply corrective 

actions as necessary by doing all the 

applicable actions in accordance with the 

accomplishment instructions of the EADS 

SOCATA TBM Aircraft Mandatory Service 

Bulletin SB 70–129, ATA No. 53, dated June 

2005. 

FAA AD Differences 

Note: This AD differs from the MCAI and/ 

or service information as follows: No 

differences. 

Other FAA AD Provisions 

(f) The following provisions also apply to 

this AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, Standards Staff, 

FAA, ATTN: Albert J. Mercado, Aerospace 

Engineer, FAA, Small Airplane Directorate, 

901 Locust, Room 301, Kansas City, Missouri, 

64106; telephone: (816) 329–4119; fax: (816) 

329–4090, has the authority to approve 

AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the 

procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. 

(2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement 

in this AD to obtain corrective actions from 

a manufacturer or other source, use these 

actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective 

actions are considered FAA-approved if they 

are approved by the State of Design Authority 

(or their delegated agent). You are required 

to assure the product is airworthy before it 

is returned to service. 

(3) Reporting Requirements: For any 

reporting requirement in this AD, under the 

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) has 

approved the information collection 

requirements and has assigned OMB Control 

Number 2120–0056.

Availability of NPRMs 

Any person may obtain a copy of this 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) 

by submitting a request to the Office of 

the Regional Counsel, AEA–7, FAA 

Eastern Region 1, Aviation Plaza, 

Jamaica, NY 11434–4809. 

Communications must identify the 

notice number of this NPRM. Persons 

interested in being placed on a mailing 

list for future NPRMs should also 

request a copy of Advisory Circular No. 

11–2A, which describes the application 

procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to Part 71 of the Federal 

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to 

establish Class D airspace at Griffiss 

AFB, Rome, NY. The protection of an 

activated Control Tower makes this 

action necessary. That airspace would 

extend from the surface to and 

including 3,200 feet MSL within a 4.5 

mile radius of the Griffiss Airfield, 

Rome, NY, and within 2 miles each side 

of bearing 135°/315° from a point at Lat 

43°14.03′ N, Long 75°24.42′ W, 

extending from the 4.5 mile radius zone, 

to a point 6 miles NW and 6 miles SE 

of the airport. The class D airspace area 

would be effective during the specific 

dates and times established in advance 

by a notice to airmen. The effective date 

and time would thereafter be 

continuously published in the Airport/ 

Facility Directory. Class D airspace 

designations for airspace areas 

extending upward from the surface to 

and including 3,200 feet MSL are 

published in Paragraph 5000 of FAA 

Order 7400.9P, dated September 1, 

2006, and effective September 16, 2006, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Class D 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. 

Therefore, this proposed 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 would only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified that this proposed rule 

would not have 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 

follows: 

PART 71—[AMENDED] 

1. The authority citation for 14 CFR 

part 71 continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40103, 40113, 

40120; EO 10854, 24 FR 9565, 3 CFR, 1959–

1963 Comp., p. 389. 

§ 71.1 [Amended] 

2. The incorporation by reference in 

14 CFR 71.1 of Federal Aviation 

Administration Order 7400.9P dated 

September 1, 2006, and effective 

September 16, 2006, is proposed to be 

amended as follows: 

Paragraph 5000 Class D airspace areas 

extending upward from the surface of the 

earth. 

AEA NY (D), Griffiss Airfield [New] 

Rome, NY 

(Lat. 43°14′03′′ N., long. 75°24′42′′ W.) 

That airspace extending upward from the 

surface to and including 3,200 feet MSL 

within a 4.5 mile radius of the Griffiss 

Airfield, Rome, NY, and within 2 miles each 

side of bearing 135°/315° from a point at Lat 

43°14.03′ N, Long 75°24.42′ W, extending 

from the 4.5 mile radius zone, to a point 6 

miles NW and 6 miles SE of the airport. The 

Class D airspace area is effective during the 

specific dates and times established in 

advance by a notice to airmen. The effective 

date and time thereafter be continuously 

published in the Airport/Facility Directory.
