Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 134 / Friday, July 12, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 41837 

AD applies to all Sikorsky Model S–70, 

S–70A, and S–70C helicopters, which 

are restricted category helicopters 

derived from the military Model UH–60 

helicopter. The part number (P/N) for 

the No. 2 crossfeed breakaway valve 

listed in the ‘‘Required Actions’’ section 

is incorrect. This document corrects that 

error. Also, this document contains a 

response to a comment received after 

publication of the Final Rule. In all 

other respects, the original document 

remains the same. 

DATES: This final rule is effective July 

12, 2013. The effective date for AD 

2012–23–13 (77 FR 71087, November 

29, 2012) remains December 14, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD 

docket on the Internet at http://

Docket Management Facility between 9 

a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Airworthiness Directive 2012–23–13, 

Amendment 39–17269 (77 FR 71087, 

November 29, 2012), currently includes 

the following under paragraph (e)(xiii) 

in the Required Actions section: 

(xiii) For Number 2 crossfeed breakaway 

valve, P/N 70307–03600–103, establish a life 

limit of 1,500 hours. 

As published, the identification of the 

P/N as 70307–03600–103 is incorrect. 

The correct P/N is 70307–03006–103. 

No other part of the regulatory 

information has been changed; 

therefore, only the changed portion of 

the final rule is being published in the 

Federal Register. 

Comments 

After we published our Final rule; 

request for comments (77 FR 71087; 

November 29, 2012), we received a 

comment from one commenter. 

Request 

The one commenter from the 

manufacturer stated that the document 

reduced the life limit for the main and 

tail rotor blades but does not make any 

reference to the detailed internal life 

limited components of the blades. The 

commenter asked whether the AD 

applies only to the blade assembly P/Ns 

and whether the blade components were 

overlooked. 

We do not agree that the AD should 

include life limits for the internal 

components of the blade assembly. The 

life limit of each main and tail rotor 

blade reflects the life limit of its lowest 

component in the Sikorsky 

Airworthiness Limitations technical 

manual. That manual does not list life 

limits for individual internal 

components. 

Correction of Regulatory Text 

§ 39.13 [Corrected] 

In the Federal Register of November

column, paragraph (e)(xiii) of AD 2012– 

23–13 is corrected to read as follows:

breakaway valve, P/N 70307–03006–

Establishment of Class E Airspace; 

Parkston, SD 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class 

E airspace at Parkston, SD. Controlled 

airspace is necessary to accommodate 

new Area Navigation (RNAV) Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures at 

Parkston Municipal Airport. The FAA is 

taking this action to enhance the safety 

and management of Instrument Flight 

Rule (IFR) operations at the airport. 

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, 

October 17, 2013. The Director of the 

Federal Register approves this 

incorporation by reference action under 

1 CFR Part 51, subject to the annual 

revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and 

publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On April 30, 2013, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to 

establish Class E airspace for the 

Parkston, SD, area, creating controlled 

airspace at Parkston Municipal Airport 

(78 FR 25232) Docket No. FAA–2012– 

1282. Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments 

were received. Class E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

6005 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 E 

airspace designations listed in this 

document will be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

establishing Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

within a 6.8-mile radius of Parkston 

Municipal Airport, Parkston, SD, to 

ensure that required controlled airspace 

exists to contain new standard 

instrument approach procedures at the 

airport. Controlled airspace enhances 

the safety and management of IFR 

operations at the airport. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. Therefore, this 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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does 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 establishes 

controlled airspace at Parkston 

Municipal Airport, Parkston, SD. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 311a. This airspace action is 

not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.
