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 (b) 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 loss of airplane controllability,

or engine overspeed with consequent loss of

engine power caused by the power levers

being positioned below the flight idle stop

while the airplane is in flight, accomplish the

following:

(a) Within 30 days after the effective date

of this AD, revise the Limitations Section of

the FAA-approved Airplane Flight Manual

(AFM) to include the following statements.

This may be accomplished by inserting a

copy of this AD or Lockheed AFM 382/E/G,

Revision 24, dated November 15, 1996, into

the AFM.

Positioning of power levers below the

flight idle stop while the airplane is in-flight

is prohibited. Such positioning may lead to

loss of airplane control or may result in an

overspeed condition and consequent loss of

engine power.

(b) 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, Atlanta

Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA,

Small Airplane Directorate. Operators shall

submit their requests through an appropriate

FAA Principal Operations Inspector, who

may add comments and then send it to the

Manager, Atlanta ACO.

Note 2: Information concerning the

existence of approved alternative methods of

compliance with this AD, if any, may be

obtained from the Atlanta ACO.

(c) 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.

(d) Except as provided by paragraph (a) of

this AD, the AFM revision shall be done in

accordance with Lockheed Airplane Flight

Manual (AFM) 382/E/G, Revision 24, dated

November 15, 1996, which contains the

following list of effective pages:

14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 97–ANM–02]

Amendment of Class E Airspace;

Alamosa, CO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action modifies the

Alamosa, CO, Class E airspace by

increasing the radius of the Class E

surface area, and by expanding the

lateral boundaries of the Class E

airspace at and above 1,200 feet Above

Ground Level (AGL). The additional

controlled airspace is necessary to

contain two Standard Instrument

Approach Procedures (SIAP) which

have recently been developed for the

Alamosa Airport. The intended effect of

this action is to provide the additional

controlled airspace necessary to enable

the FAA to provide Instrument Flight

Rules (IFR), Air Traffic Control (ATC)

services and separation to IFR aircraft

operating on the SIAP’s and

transitioning between the terminal and

en route environments. The areas will

be depicted on aeronautical charts for

pilot reference.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, November

19, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On April 2, 1997, the FAA proposed

to amend Part 71 of Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to provide

additional Class E airspace area at

Alamosa, Colorado (62 FR 15635). The

recent commissioning of the Alamosa

Instrument Landing System (ILS), and

Global Positioning System (GPS) SIAP

requires adjustment of Class E airspace

in order to segregate aircraft operating in

instrument flight conditions from

aircraft operating in visual flight

conditions. Interested parties were

invited to participate in the rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal. No

comments were received. The

coordinates for this airspace docket are

based on North American Datum 83.

This action is the same as described in

the proposal. Class E airspace

designated as a surface area for an

airport and airspace designations for

airspace areas extending upward from

700 feet or more above the surface of the

earth are published in paragraph 6002

and paragraph 6005 of FAA Order

7400.9E, dated September 10, 1997, and

effective September 16, 1997, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The Class E airspace designation

listed in this document will be

published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This action amends 14 CFR part 71

Class E airspace at Alamosa, CO. The

portion of the existing airspace area

extending upward from the surface will

be expanded by increasing the radius of

the area from 4.3 nautical miles (NM) to

5 NM. Where a SIAP has been

designated for the airport and

communications and weather reporting

criteria are met, the FAA establishes

Class E airspace extending upward from

the surface to the base of overlying

controlled airspace to contain terminal

instrument operations if such action is

justified and/or in the pubic interest.

This action also expands and simplifies

the portion of the area extending

upward from 1,200 feet AGL by

redefining the lateral boundaries of the

area. The FAA establishes Class E

airspace extending upward from 1,200

feet AGL where necessary to contain

aircraft transitioning between the

terminal and en route environments.

The FAA has recently established GPS

and ILS SIAP’s for use by aircraft

arriving at the Alamosa Airport. The

additional Class E airspace established

by this rule is necessary to

accommodate the new SIAP’s. The

intended effect of this action is to

provide the controlled airspace

necessary to enable the FAA to provide

IFR ATC services and separation to IFR

aircraft operating on the GPS and ILS

SIAP’s, and while transitioning between

the en route and terminal environments.

The areas will be dipicted on

appropriate aeronautical charts for pilot

reference.
54380 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 202 / Monday, October 20, 1997 / Rules and Regulations

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

will not have a significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

entities under the criteria of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Information Security Program

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and

Space Administration (NASA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: NASA is amending 14 CFR

Part 1203 by revising subpart H,

‘‘Delegation of Authority to Make

Determinations in Original

Classification Matters.’’ This

amendment changes the designated

officials for Secret and Confidential

authority, deletes old NASA position

titles, replaces them with current NASA

organization position titles, and adds

original declassification authorities in

compliance with Executive Order

12958.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 20, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Erwin V. Minter, 202–358–2314.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NASA

published 14 CFR Part 1203 subpart H

in the Federal Register on November 9,

1988 (53 FR 45259). It identified NASA

officials who are authorized to make,

modify, or eliminate security

classification assignments to

information under their jurisdiction for

which NASA has original classification

authority. This amendment reflects

NASA’s current organizational position

titles.

Since this action is internal and

administrative in nature and does not

affect the existing regulations, notice

and public comment are not required.

The National Aeronautics and Space

Administration has determined the

following:

1. This rule is not subject to the

requirements of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, since

it will not exert a significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

entities.

2. This rule is not a major rule as

defined in Executive Order 12866.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 1203

Foreign relations, Security measures.

For reasons set out in the Preamble,

14 CFR part 1203 is amended as follows:
