Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 150 / Monday, August 5, 2013 / Proposed Rules 47237 

Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 

1979), 

(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska to the extent that it justifies 

making a regulatory distinction, and 

(4) 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. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference, 

Safety. 

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 airworthiness 

directive (AD): 

General Electric Company: Docket No. FAA– 

2013–0475; Directorate Identifier 2013– 

NE–18–AD. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

We must receive comments by October 4, 

2013. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to certain serial number 

General Electric Company (GE) model GEnx– 

2B67 and GEnx–2B67B turbofan engines. The 

affected GEnx–2B serial numbers are: 959– 

102 through 959–104; 959–107; 959–110 

through 959–111; 959–113 through 959–118; 

959–121; 959–124 through 959–133; 959–159 

through 959–161; 959–164; 959–176; and 

959–191. 

(d) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by GE’s report that 

certain critical rotating life-limited parts 

(LLPs) used in Boeing 747–8 flight tests had 

consumed more cyclic life than they would 

have in revenue service flights. These parts 

were then installed into engines and 

introduced into revenue service without 

adjustment to remaining cyclic life. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent the failure of 

critical rotating LLPs, uncontained engine 

failure, and damage to the airplane. 

(e) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(f) Adjust the Cycle Counts of Certain 

Critical Rotating LLPs 

Within 30 days after the effective date of 

this AD, perform a one-time adjustment to 

the cycle count of each part identified in 

paragraph 4, Appendix A, of GE Service 

Bulletin (SB) No. 72–0116, Revision 1, dated 

April 23, 2013. 

(g) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

The Manager, Engine Certification Office, 

FAA, may approve AMOCs for this AD. Use 

the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19 to 

make your request. 

(h) Related Information 

(1) For more information about this AD,

Persons interested in being placed on

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking 

(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 modifying Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface for standard 

instrument approach procedures at 

Chariton Municipal Airport, Chariton, 

IA. Airspace reconfiguration is 

necessary due to the decommissioning 

of the Chariton NDB and the 

cancellation of the NDB approach. 

Controlled airspace is necessary for the 

safety and management of IFR 

operations at the airport. 

Class E airspace areas 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 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 

amend controlled airspace at Chariton 

Municipal Airport, Chariton, IA. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.
