20794 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 76 / Wednesday, April 21, 2010 / Proposed Rules 

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. 

You can find our regulatory 

evaluation and the estimated costs of 

compliance 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: 

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: 

The Boeing Company: Docket No. FAA– 

2010–0383; Directorate Identifier 2009– 

NM–214–AD. 

Comments Due Date 

(a) We must receive comments by June 7, 

2010. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to The Boeing 

Company Model 747–100, 747–100B, 747– 

100B SUD, 747–200B, 747–200C, 747–200F, 

747–300, 747–400, 747SR, and 747SP series 

airplanes, certificated in any category; as 

identified in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 

747–53A2750, dated August 27, 2009. 

Subject 

(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 53: Fuselage. 

Unsafe Condition 

(e) This AD results from reports of cracks 

in overwing intercostal webs between station 

(STA) 1160 and STA 1220. The Federal 

Aviation Administration is issuing this AD to 

detect and correct such cracking, which 

could grow and result in a severed 

intercostal. If an intercostal is severed, cracks 

could develop in the adjacent frame structure 

and skin, resulting in a rapid loss of cabin 

pressure. 

Compliance 

(f) You are responsible for having the 

actions required by this AD performed within 

the compliance times specified, unless the 

actions have already been done. 

Repetitive Inspections of the Overwing 

Intercostal Web 

(g) Before the accumulation of 8,000 total 

flight cycles, or within 1,500 flight cycles 

after the effective date of this AD, whichever 

occurs later: Do a detailed inspection of the 

left-side and right-side STAs 1160, 1180, 

1200, and 1220 overwing intercostal webs, 

and all applicable related investigative and 

corrective actions, in accordance with the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert 

Service Bulletin 747–53A2750, dated August 

27, 2009, except as required by paragraph (i) 

of this AD. Do all applicable related 

investigative and corrective actions before 

further flight. If no cracking is found during 

any detailed inspection, repeat the inspection 

thereafter at intervals not to exceed 3,000 

flight cycles. 

(h) For any airplane with an overwing 

intercostal web replaced in accordance with 

Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747–53A2750, 

dated August 27, 2009: Within 6,000 flight 

cycles after the web was replaced, do a 

detailed inspection of the replacement 

overwing intercostal web, and do all 

applicable related investigative and 

corrective actions, in accordance with the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert 

Service Bulletin 747–53A2750, dated August 

27, 2009, except as required by paragraph (i) 

of this AD. Do all applicable related 

investigative and corrective actions before 

further flight. If no cracking is found during 

any detailed inspection, repeat the inspection 

thereafter at intervals not to exceed 3,000 

flight cycles. 

Exception to Service Bulletin 

(i) If any cracking is found during any 

inspection required by this AD, and Boeing 

Alert Service Bulletin 747–53A2750, dated 

August 27, 2009, specifies contacting Boeing 

for appropriate action: Before further flight, 

repair the cracking using a method approved 

in accordance with the procedures provided 

in paragraph (j) of this AD. 

Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(j)(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. Send information to ATTN: Ivan 

Li, Aerospace Engineer, Airframe Branch,

Certification Office (ACO), 1601 Lind 

Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington 98057– 

3356; telephone (425) 917–6437; fax (425) 

917–6590. Information may be e-mailed to: 9- 

ANM-Seattle-ACO-AMOC-Requests@faa.gov. 

(2) To request a different method of 

compliance or a different compliance time 

for this AD, follow the procedures in 14 CFR 

39.19. Before using any approved AMOC on 

any airplane to which the AMOC applies, 

notify your principal maintenance inspector 

(PMI) or principal avionics inspector (PAI), 

as appropriate, or lacking a principal 

inspector, your local Flight Standards District 

Office. The AMOC approval letter must 

specifically reference this AD. 

(3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable 

level of safety may be used for any repair 

required by this AD if it is approved by the 

Boeing Commercial Airplanes Organization 

Designation Authorization that has been 

authorized by the Manager, Seattle ACO, to 

make those findings. For a repair method to 

be approved, the repair must meet the 

certification basis of the airplane, and the 

approval must specifically refer to this AD.

Persons interested in being placed on

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking 

at 202–267–9677, to request a copy of 

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 adding additional 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface for SIAPs 

operations at Hamilton Municipal 

Airport, Hamilton, TX. Adjustment to 

the geographic coordinates would be 

made in accordance with the FAAs 

National Aeronautical Charting Office. 

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 

7400.9T, dated August 27, 2009, and 

effective September 15, 2009, 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 add additional 

controlled airspace at Hamilton 

Municipal Airport, Hamilton, TX.
