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 airworthiness 

directive (AD): 

The Boeing Company: Docket No. FAA– 

2008–0614; Directorate Identifier 2007– 

NM–351–AD. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

We must receive comments by March 18, 

2013. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to all The Boeing 

Company Model 737–300, –400, and –500 

series airplanes, certificated in any category. 

(d) Subject 

Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)/ 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of America 

Code 2800, Aircraft Fuel System. 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by reports of two 

in-service occurrences on Model 737–400 

airplanes of total loss of boost pump pressure 

of the fuel feed system, followed by loss of 

fuel system suction feed capability on one 

engine, and in-flight shutdown of the engine. 

We are issuing this AD to detect and correct 

loss of the engine fuel suction feed capability 

of the fuel system, which in the event of total 

loss of the fuel boost pumps could result in 

dual engine flameout, inability to restart the 

engines, and consequent forced landing of 

the airplane. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Operational Test and Corrective Actions 

Within 7,500 flight hours or 24 months 

after the effective date of this AD, whichever 

occurs first: Perform an operational test of the 

engine fuel suction feed of the fuel system, 

and do all applicable corrective actions, in 

accordance with the Accomplishment 

Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 

737–28A1307, dated May 14, 2012. Do all 

applicable corrective actions before further 

flight. Repeat the operational test thereafter at 

intervals not to exceed 7,500 flight hours or 

24 months, whichever occurs first. 

Thereafter, except as provided in paragraph 

(h) of this AD, no alternative procedures or 

repetitive test intervals are allowed. 

(h) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(1) The Manager, Seattle Aircraft 

Certification Office (ACO), FAA, has the 

authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if 

requested using the procedures found in 14 

CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, 

send your request to your principal inspector 

or local Flight Standards District Office, as 

appropriate. If sending information directly 

to the manager of the ACO, send it to the 

attention of the person identified in the 

Related Information section of this AD. 

Information may be emailed to: 9-ANMSeattle-ACO-AMOC-Requests@faa.gov. 

(2) Before using any approved AMOC, 

notify your appropriate principal inspector, 

or lacking a principal inspector, the manager 

of the local flight standards district office/ 

certificate holding district office.

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking, 

(202) 267–9677, for a copy of Advisory 

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 to modify the Nashville 

International Airport Class C airspace 

area by removing a cutout from the 

Class C surface area that excluded the 

airspace within a 1.5 NM radius of the 

former Cornelia Fort Airpark from the 

Class C surface area. The exclusion was 

in place to solely accommodate 

operations at the Airpark, which was 

located about 4 NM north northwest of 

Nashville International Airport. The 

Airpark is now permanently closed and 

the property sold for non-aviation uses. 

Since the original purpose of the 

exclusion no longer exists, the FAA is 

proposing to remove the words ‘‘ * * * 

excluding that airspace within a 1.5- 

mile radius of lat. 36°12′00′′ N., long. 

86°42′10′′ W. (in the vicinity of Cornelia 

Fort Airpark) * * * ’’ from the Class C 

airspace description. This would restore 

the Class C surface area to the standard 

configuration of a 5 NM radius around 

Nashville International Airport and 

would enhance the management of 

aircraft operations at the airport. 

Also, a minor correction would be 

made to update the geographic 

coordinates of the Nashville 

International Airport to reflect the 

current information in the FAA’s 

aeronautical database. This change 

would remove ‘‘lat. 36°07′31′′ N., long. 

86°40′35′′ W.,’’ and insert ‘‘lat. 36°07′28′′ 

N., long. 86°40′42′′ W.’’ in its place. 

Class C airspace areas are published 

in paragraph 4000 of FAA Order 

7400.9W, dated August 8, 2012 and 

effective September 15, 2012, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class C airspace area 

modification proposed 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 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 proposed 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 United States Code. 

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. 

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 the 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 modify terminal airspace as 

required to preserve the safe and 

efficient flow of air traffic in the 

Nashville, TN, area.
