Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 112 / Monday, June 11, 2018 / Proposed Rules 26889 

(d) Subject 

Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC) 

Code 7230, Turbine Engine Compressor 

Section. 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by reports of inflight engine shutdowns and aborted take-offs 

that were the result of a failed knife edge seal 

on ESNs P770450 through P770614. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent failure of the rear 

high-pressure compressor rotor hub knife 

edge seal. The unsafe condition, if not 

addressed, could result in failure of one or 

more engines, loss of thrust control, and loss 

of the airplane. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Required Actions 

At the next engine shop visit after the 

effective date of this AD, do the following: 

(1) Remove from service the diffuser case 

air seal assembly, part number (P/N) 

30G4993–01, and replace with a part eligible 

for installation. 

(2) Remove from service the high-pressure 

turbine (HPT) 2nd-stage vane assembly, P/N 

30G7572, and replace with a part eligible for 

installation. 

(3) Remove from service HPT 2nd-stage 

borescope stator vane assembly, P/N 

30G7672, and replace with a part eligible for 

installation. 

(h) Definition 

For the purpose of this AD, an ‘‘engine 

shop visit’’ is the induction of an engine into 

the shop for maintenance involving the 

separation of pairs of major mating engine 

flanges (lettered flanges). The separation of 

engine flanges solely for the purpose of 

transportation of the engine without 

subsequent engine maintenance does not 

constitute an engine shop visit. 

(i) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(1) The Manager, ECO Branch, FAA, has 

the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, 

if requested using the procedures found in 14 

CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, 

send your request to your principal inspector 

or local Flight Standards District Office, as 

appropriate. If sending information directly 

to the manager of the certification office, 

send it to the attention of the person 

identified in paragraph (j)(1) of this AD. You 

may email your request to: ANE-ADAMOC@faa.gov. 

(2) Before using any approved AMOC, 

notify your appropriate principal inspector, 

or lacking a principal inspector, the manager 

of the local flight standards district office/ 

certificate holding district office.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

Subtitle I, 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 

establish and amend Class E airspace at 

Ephrata Municipal Airport, Ephrata, 

WA, to support standard instrument 

approach procedures for IFR operations 

at the airport. 

Comments Invited 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in this proposed rulemaking 

by submitting such written data, views,

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

FAA Order 7400.11B, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated August 3, 2017, and effective 

September 15, 2017. FAA Order 

7400.11B is publicly available as listed 

in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists 

Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, 

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 by establishing Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface and modifying 

Class E surface area airspace at Ephrata 

Municipal Airport, Ephrata, WA. 

Class E surface area airspace would be 

modified to a 4.2-mile radius of the 

airport (from a 4.4-mile radius of the 

Ephrata Municipal Airport and within 

2.7 miles each side of the Ephrata 

VORTAC 043° and 233° radials 

extending from the 4.4-mile radius to 7 

miles northeast of the VORTAC). The 

exclusionary language noting Moses 

Lake, WA, Class D airspace would be 

removed as it is not needed to define the 

boundary. 

Class E airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet would be established 

within 4.2 miles northwest and 6.6 

miles southeast of the 043° and 223° 

bearings from the airport extending from 

the airport reference point to 11.1 miles 

northeast and 6.3 miles southwest of the 

airport, respectively. 

Additionally, this action proposes to 

update the geographic coordinates for 

the associated Class E airspace areas to 

match the FAA’s aeronautical database. 

Also, an editorial change would be 

made to the Class E airspace legal 

descriptions replacing Airport/Facility 

Directory with the term Chart 

Supplement. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6002 and 6005, 

respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11B, 

dated August 3, 2017, and effective 

September 15, 2017, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D and E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current, is non-controversial and 

unlikely to result in adverse or negative 

comments. 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, would not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71 

Airspace, Incorporation by reference, 

Navigation (air). 

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, pursuant to the 

authority delegated to me, the Federal 

Aviation Administration proposes to 

amend 14 CFR part 71 as follows:

B, C, D, AND E AIRSPACE AREAS; AIR 

TRAFFIC SERVICE ROUTES; AND

part 71 continues to read as follows:

1959–1963 Comp., p. 389. 

§ 71.1 [Amended] 

■ 2. The incorporation by reference in 

14 CFR 71.1 of FAA Order 7400.11B, 

Airspace Designations and Reporting

Today the Commission is continuing 

its efforts to enhance the information 

that is available to you, the investor, to

Our mission is to protect investors; 

maintain fair, orderly, and efficient 

markets; and facilitate capital formation. 

Disclosure is the backbone of the federal 

securities laws and is a principal tool 

we use to fulfill our mission. Disclosure
