federalism implications to warrant the

preparation of a Federalism Assessment.

For the reasons discussed above, I

certify that 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) if

promulgated, 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. A copy of the draft

regulatory evaluation prepared for this

action is contained in the rules docket.

A copy of it may be obtained by

The Proposed Amendment

Accordingly, pursuant to the

authority delegated to me by the

Administrator, the Federal Aviation

Administration proposes to amend part

39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations

(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. Section 39.13 is amended by

adding the following new airworthiness

directive:

Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI), LTD.: Docket

97–NM–166–AD.

Applicability: All Model 1121, 1121A,

1121B, 1123, 1124, and 1124A series

airplanes, certificated in any category.

Note 1: This AD applies to each airplane

identified in the preceding applicability

provision, regardless of whether it has been

modified, altered, or repaired in the area

subject to the requirements of this AD. For

airplanes that have been modified, altered, or

repaired so that the performance of the

requirements of this AD is affected, the

owner/operator must request approval for an

alternative method of compliance in

accordance with paragraph (d) of this AD.

The request should include an assessment of

the effect of the modification, alteration, or

repair on the unsafe condition addressed by

this AD; and, if the unsafe condition has not

been eliminated, the request should include

specific proposed actions to address it.

Compliance: Required as indicated, unless

accomplished previously.

To ensure that the trim actuator of the

horizontal stabilizer operates properly;

failure of the actuator to operate properly

could result in reduced controllability of the

airplane, accomplish the following:

(a) Perform an inspection of the trim

actuator of the horizontal stabilizer to verify

jackscrew integrity and to detect excessive

wear of the tie rod, in accordance with

Commodore Jet Service Bulletin SB 1121–27–

023, dated August 14, 1996 (for Model 1121,

1121A, and 1121B series airplanes),

Westwind Service Bulletin SB 1123–27–046,

dated August 14, 1996 (for Model 1123 series

airplanes), or Westwind Service Bulletin

1124–27–133, dated August 14, 1996 (for

Model 1124 and 1124A series airplanes), as

applicable; at the times specified in

paragraph (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this AD, as

applicable.

(1) For airplanes that have accumulated

6,000 or more total flight cycles or on which

the horizontal trim actuator has accumulated

2,000 or more flight cycles as of the effective

date of this AD: Inspect within 50 flight

hours after the effective date of this AD.

Repeat the inspection thereafter at intervals

not to exceed 300 flight hours (for Model

1121, 1121A, 1121B, and 1123 series

airplanes) or 400 flight hours (for Model 1124

and 1124A series airplanes), as applicable.

(2) For airplanes that have accumulated

less than 6,000 total flight cycles and on

which the horizontal trim actuator has

accumulated less than 2,000 total flight

cycles as of the effective date of this AD:

Inspect at the times specified in paragraph

(a)(2)(i) or (a)(2)(ii) of this AD, as applicable.

(i) For Model 1121, 1121A, 1121B,

and 1123 series airplanes: Inspect

within 300 flight hours after the

effective date of this AD. Repeat the

inspection thereafter at intervals not to

exceed 300 flight hours.

(ii) For Model 1124 and 1124A series

airplanes: Inspect within 400 flight

hours after the effective date of this AD.

Repeat the inspection thereafter at

intervals not to exceed 400 flight hours.

(b) If any discrepancy is found during

any inspection required by paragraph (a)

of this AD, prior to further flight,

replace the actuator or tie rod, as

applicable, in accordance with

Commodore Jet Service Bulletin SB

1121–27–023, dated August 14, 1996

(for Model 1121, 1121A, and 1121B

series airplanes), Westwind Service

Bulletin SB 1123–27–046, dated August

14, 1996 (for Model 1123 series

airplanes), or Westwind Service Bulletin

1124–27–133, dated August 14, 1996

(for Model 1124 and 1124A series

airplanes), as applicable.

(c) As of the effective date of this AD,

no horizontal stabilizer trim actuator

shall be installed on any airplane unless

that trim actuator has been inspected in

accordance with the requirements of

paragraph (a) of this AD.

(d) An alternative method of

compliance or adjustment of the

compliance time that provides an

acceptable level of safety may be used

if approved by the Manager,

Standardization Branch, ANM–113,

FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate.

Operators shall submit their requests

through an appropriate FAA Principal

Maintenance Inspector, who may add

comments and then send it to the

Manager, Standardization Branch,

ANM–113.

Note 2: Information concerning the

existence of approved alternative methods of

compliance with this AD, if any, may be

obtained from the Standardization Branch,

ANM–113.

(e) Special flight permits may be

issued in accordance with sections

21.197 and 21.199 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 21.197

and 21.199) to operate the airplane to a

location where the requirements of this

AD can be accomplished.

Issued in Renton, Washington, on August

5, 1997.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to

amend the Class D airspace area at

Hayward, CA. The development of GPS

SIAP at Hayward Air Terminal has

made this proposal necessary. The

intended effect of this proposal is to

provide adequate Class D airspace for

aircraft executing the GPS RWY 28L

SIAP at Hayward Air Terminal,

Hayward, CA. Class D airspace

designations are published in Paragraph

5000 of FAA Order 7400.9D dated

September 4, 1996, and effective

September 16, 1996, 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 will only affect air

traffic procedures and air navigation, it

is certified that this proposed rule

would not have a 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
