The Proposed Amendment

Accordingly, pursuant to the

authority delegated to me by the

Administrator, the Federal Aviation

Administration proposes to amend part

(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:

Bombardier Inc. (Formerly Canadair):

Docket 97–NM–256–AD.

Applicability: Model CL–600–1A11 series

airplanes, as listed in Bombardier Canadair

Challenger Alert Service Bulletin A600–0644,

Revision 01, dated March 31, 1995; and

Model CL–600–2A12 series airplanes, as

listed in Bombardier Canadair Challenger

Alert Service Bulletin A601–0441, Revision

01, dated March 31, 1995; certificated in any

category.

Note 1: This AD applies to each airplane

identified in the preceding applicability

provision, regardless of whether it has been

otherwise 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 (c) 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 electrical arcing between the

internal wiring and casing of the anti-noise

filter on the standby and auxiliary power unit

(APU) fuel pump assemblies, and consequent

increased risk of fuel tank explosion or fire,

accomplish the following:

(a) Within 100 flight hours after the

effective date of this AD, replace the antinoise filter on the standby and auxiliary

power unit (APU) fuel pump assemblies with

a new filter, in accordance with Part B of

Bombardier Canadair Challenger Alert

Service Bulletin A600–0644, Revision 01,

dated March 31, 1995 (for Model CL–600–

1A11 series airplanes), or Bombardier

Canadair Challenger Alert Service Bulletin

A601–0441, Revision 01, dated March 31,

1995 (for Model CL–600–2A12 series

airplanes); as applicable.

(b) As of the effective date of this AD, no

person shall install on any airplane a fuel

pump having part number (P/N) 600–62966–

25 or 600–62966–27 with an anti-noise filter

having P/N 160–151501 (prior to revision H

stamped on the part) installed, on any

airplane.

(c) 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, New York

Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA,

Engine and Propeller Directorate. Operators

shall submit their requests through an

appropriate FAA Principal Maintenance

Inspector, who may add comments and then

send it to the Manager, New York ACO.

Note 2: Information concerning the

existence of approved alternative methods of

compliance with this AD, if any, may be

obtained from the New York ACO.

(d) 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.

Note 3: The subject of this AD is addressed

in Canadian airworthiness directive CF–97–

02, dated February 25, 1997.

Proposed Establishment of Class C

Airspace; Hayden, CO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking

(NPRM).

SUMMARY: This proposal would establish

Class E Airspace at Hayden, CO. The

development of two new Standard

Instrument Approach Procedures

(SIAP’s) at the Yampa Valley Airport,

Hayden, CO, utilizing the Global

Positioning System (GPS) has made this

proposition necessary. Controlled

airspace extending upward from 700

feet above ground level (AGL) is needed

to accommodate these SIAP’s and for

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations

to the airport. The area would be

depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot

reference.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before January 5, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the

proposal in triplicate to: Manager,

Airspace Branch, ANM–520, Federal

Aviation Administration, Docket No.

97–ANM–13, 1601 Lind Avenue SW,

Renton, Washington 98055–4056.

The official docket may be examined

in the office of the Assistant Chief

Counsel for the Northwest Mountain

Region at the same address.

An informal docket may also be

examined during normal hours in the

office of the Manager, Air Traffic

Division, Airspace Branch, at the

address listed above.

date for comments. A report

summarizing each substantive public

contact with FAA personnel concerned

with this rulemaking will be filed in the

docket.

Availability of NPRM’s

Any person may obtain a copy of this

NPRM by submitting a request to the

Federal Aviation Administration,

Airspace Branch, ANM–520, 1601 Lind

Avenue SW, Renton, Washington

98055–4056. Communications must

identify the notice number of this

NPRM. Persons interested in being

placed on a mailing list for future

NPRM’s should also request a copy of

Advisory Circular No. 11–2A, which

describes the application procedure.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to

establish Class E airspace at Hayden,

CO. This amendment would provide

airspace necessary to fully encompass

the GPS–A and the GPS–B SIAP’s to the

Yampa Valley Airport, Hayden, CO.

This proposal would make a 700-foot

Class E area with a 6.9 mile radius

around the Yampa Valley Airport with

an extension to the northwest and an

extension to the southeast to meet

necessary airspace criteria for aircraft

transitioning between the terminal and

en route environments. The FAA

establishes Class E airspace extending

upward from 700 feet AGL where

necessary to contain aircraft

transitioning between the terminal and

en route environments. The intended

effect of this proposal is to provide safe

and efficient use of the navigable

airspace and to promote safe flight

operations under IFR at the Yampa

Valley Airport and between the terminal

and en route transition stages.

The area would be depicted on

aeronautical charts for pilot reference.

The coordinates for this airspace docket

are based on North American Datum 83.

Class E airspace areas extending upward

from 700 feet or more above the surface

of the earth, are published in 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 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

6, 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,

if promulgated, would not have a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

Proposed Amendment to Class E

Airspace; Owensboro, KY

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This notice proposes to

amend the Class E airspace areas at

Owensboro, KY. A VOR Runway (RWY)

5 Standard Instrument Approach

Procedure (SIAP) has been developed

for Owensboro-Daviess County Airport.

Additional controlled airspace is

needed to accommodate the SIAP and

for IFR operations at the airport. This

proposal would provide a southwest

extension to the existing Class D surface

area and increase the radius of the Class

E airspace that extends upward from

700 feet above the surface of the earth.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before December 19, 1997.
