49180 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 182 / Friday, September 19, 1997 / Proposed Rules

in accordance with Executive Order

12612, it is determined that this

proposal would not have sufficient

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

contacting the Rules Docket at the

location provided under the caption

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), 40101, 40113,

44701.

§ 39.13 [Amended]

2. Section 39.13 is amended by

adding the following new airworthiness

directive:

CFM International: Docket No. 97–ANE–29–

AD.

Applicability: CFM International (CFMI)

CFM56–5B1/2P, –5B2/2P, –5B3/2P, and

–5B4/2P turbofan engines, installed with low

pressure turbine (LPT) case, Part Number

(P/N) 338–117–004–0, installed on but

not limited to Airbus A320 and A321

series aircraft.

Note 1: This airworthiness directive (AD)

applies to each engine 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 engines 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 (e)

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 prevent a low cycle fatigue (LCF) failure

of the LPT case, which could result in

damage to the aircraft, accomplish the

following:

(a) Remove from service LPT case, P/N

338–117–004–0, and replace with a

serviceable part, as follows:

(1) For CFM56–5B2/2P and –5B3/2P

engines, prior to accumulating 10,500 cycles.

(2) For CFM56–5B1/2P and –5B4/2P

engines, prior to accumulating 15,500 cycles.

(b) This action establishes the new LCF

retirement lives of 10,500 and 15,500 cycles

for the engines stated in paragraphs (a)(1) and

(a)(2) of this AD, which are published in

Chapter 05 of CFM56–5B Engine Shop

Manual, CFMI–TP.SM.9.

(c) For the purpose of this AD, a

‘‘serviceable part’’ is one that has not

exceeded its respective new life limit as set

out in this AD.

(d) Except as provided in paragraph (e) of

this AD, no alternative replacement times

may be approved for LPT case, P/N 338–117–

004–0.

(e) 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, Engine

Certification Office. The request should be

forwarded through an appropriate FAA

Principal Maintenance Inspector, who may

add comments and then send it to the

Manager, Engine Certification Office.

Note 2: Information concerning the

existence of approved alternative methods of

compliance with this airworthiness directive,

if any, may be obtained from the Engine

Certification Office.

(f) 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 aircraft to

a location where the requirements of this AD

can be accomplished.

Issued in Burlington, Massachusetts, on

September 12, 1997.

Proposed Modification of Class D and

Class E Airspace and Removal of

Class E Airspace; Belleville, IL,

MidAmerica Airport

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This notice proposes to

modify Class D and Class E airspace and

remove Class E airspace at Belleville, IL.

A Global Positioning System (GPS)

Standard Instrument Approach

Procedure (SIAP) to Runway 14R, a GPS

SIAP to Runway 14L, a GPS SIAP to

Runway 32R, a GPS SIAP to Runway

32L, an Instrument Landing System

(ILS) SIAP to Runway 14R, a IH–ILS

SIAP to Runway 14R, a HI–ILS SIAP to

Runway 32L, an ILS SIAP to Runway

32L, an ILS SIAP to Runway 32R, a

Nondirectional Radio Beacon (NDB)

SIAP to Runway 32R, an NDB SIAP to

Runway 32L, a Tactical Air Navigation

(TACAN) SIAP to Runway 32L, a

TACAN SIAP to Runway 14R, a HI–

TACAN SIAP to Runway 14R, a HI–

TACAN SIAP to Runway 32L, and a

TACAN–A SIAP have been developed

for MidAmerica Airport. Controlled

airspace extending upward from the

surface is needed to contain aircraft

executing these approaches. This action

would increase the radius of the existing

Class D airspace, and decrease the

radius of the existing Class E airspace

while adding an extension to the

northwest of the existing Class E

airspace. This action would also remove

the existing Class E airspace designated

as an extension to the existing Class D

airspace. The intended effect of this

proposal is to provide segregation of

aircraft using instrument approach

procedures in instrument conditions

from other aircraft operating in visual

weather conditions.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before November 3, 1997.

proposal in triplicate to: Federal

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to

modify Class D and Class E airspace and

remove Class E airspace at Belleville, IL.

This proposal would provide adequate

Class D and Class E airspace for

operators executing the GPS SIAP to

Runway 14R, the GPS SIAP to Runway

14L, the GPS SIAP to Runway 32R, the

GPS SIAP to Runway 32L, the ILS SIAP

to Runway 14R, the HI–ILS SIAP to

Runway 14R, the HI–ILS SIAP to

Runway 32L, the ILS SIAP To Runway

32L, the ILS SIAP to Runway 32R, the

NDB SIAP to Runway 32R, the NDB

SIAP to Runway 32L, the TACAN SIAP

to Runway 32L, the TACAN SIAP to

Runway 14R, the HI–TACAN SIAP to

Runway 14R, the HI–TACAN SIAP to

Runway 32L, and the TACAN–A SIAP

for MidAmerican Airport. Controlled

airspace extending upward from the

surface is needed to contain aircraft

executing these approaches. The

intended effect of this action is to

provide segregation of aircraft using

instrument approach procedures in

instrument conditions from other

aircraft operating in visual weather

conditions. The area would be depicted

on appropriate aeronautical charts

thereby enabling pilots to

circumnavigate the area or otherwise

comply with IFR procedures. Class D

airspace designations are published in

paragraph 5000 Class E airspace areas

designated as an extension to a Class D

or Class E surface area are published in

paragraph 6004, and Class E airspace

designations for airspace areas

extending upward from 700 feet or more

above the surface of the earth are

published in paragraph 6005, 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 and Class E airspace

designations 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 will

not have a significant economic impact

on a substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.
