62954 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 208 / Friday, October 27, 2006 / Proposed Rules 

Because of the safety significance of 

cracking in these penetrations, the NRC 

had an independent review of the Code 

Case performed. The review, which was 

performed by Engineering Mechanics 

Corporation of Columbus (Emc2), and 

documented in its report dated April 30, 

2004, ‘‘Predicting Axial Crack Growth in 

Control Rod Drive Mechanism Tubes,’’

[ML060060548], determined that the 

crack-growth rates calculations 

specified in the Code Case were not 

conservative enough and underpredict 

crack growth. The report states that, 

‘‘Credible crack-growth predictions rely 

highly on an accurate determination of 

the crack-driving force.’’ To develop the 

data needed for its review of the Code 

Case, Emc2 performed parametric finite 

element studies on axial cracks in 

CRDM J-groove weld residual stress 

fields and determined that under certain 

applications, published K-solutions, 

used in Code Case N–694–1, would 

under predict crack growth, so much so, 

that cracks could grow through-wall 

prior to the performance of the next 

inspection. 

The cognizant ASME working group 

is currently reviewing the report. On the 

basis of the report, the NRC proposes to 

condition Code Case N–694–1 to require 

more accurate crack-growth rate 

calculations to ensure that the frequency 

of examination is appropriate for these 

penetrations.

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 by 

establishing the Class E airspace area at 

Santa Cruz, CA. The establishment of a 

Special COPTER Area Navigation 

(RNAV) Global Positioning System 

(GPS) 040 Point In Space Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) 

and a Special COPTER RNAV (GPS) 227 

Departure Procedure serving Dominican 

Hospital Heliport has made this 

proposal necessary. Additional 

controlled airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface is 

needed to contain helicopters executing 

Special COPTER Area Navigation 

(RNAV) Global Positioning System 

(GPS) 040 Point In Space Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) 

and a Special COPTER RNAV (GPS) 227 

Departure Procedure serving Dominican 

Hospital Heliport. The intended effect of 

this proposal is to provide adequate 

controlled airspace for helicopters 

executing Special COPTER Area 

Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning 

System (GPS) 040 Point In Space 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedure (SIAP) and a Special COPTER 

RNAV (GPS) 227 Departure Procedure 

serving Dominican Hospital Heliport, 

Santa Cruz, CA. Class E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

6005 of FAA Order 7400.9P dated 

September 1, 2006, and effective 

September 15, 2006, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document would be 

published subsequently in this 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 will 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.
