SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments Invited 

Interested persons are invited to 

comment on the proposed design 

criteria by submitting such written data, 

views, or arguments as they may desire. 

Commenters should identify the 

proposed design criteria on the 

Lockheed Martin Aeronautics model 

LMZ1M airship and submit comments, 

in duplicate, to the address specified 

above. All communications received on 

or before the closing date for comments 

will be considered by the Small 

Airplane Directorate before issuing the 

final design criteria. 

Background 

On March 12, 2012 Lockheed Martin 

Aeronautics submitted an application 

for type certification for the model 

LMZ1M airship. The LMZ1M is a 

hybrid airship incorporating a number 

of advance features. The tri-lobed 

airship envelope has 1,285,000 cubic 

foot displacement incorporating four 

thrusters to allow thrust vectoring. 

Thrust vectoring and control surface 

motions are controlled through a vehicle 

management system using electronic fly 

by-wire controls. Rather than 

conventional landing gear, the LMZ1M 

uses air cushion landing system (ACLS) 

for landing and ground operations. The 

LMZ1M is a manned cargo lifting hybrid 

airship with a gondola accommodating 

eight passengers and two crewmembers 

and a large cargo bay, and external load 

capabilities. 

Proposed Design Criteria 

Applicable Airworthiness Criteria Under 

14 CFR part 21 

The only applicable requirement for 

airship certification in the United States 

is FAA document ‘‘FAA–P–8110–2, 

Airship Design Criteria (ADC),’’ dated 

November 2, 1987 with Change 1, dated 

July 24, 1992 and Change 2, dated July 

24, 1992. This document has been the 

basis of certification of airships in the 

United States for many years. The ADC 

is inadequate for an aircraft with the 

size and advanced features of the 

LMZ1M. Given the size and weight of 

the LMZ1M and in accordance with 14 

CFR Part 21.17(b), the level of safety 

should be commensurate with other 

transport category aircraft. The ‘‘Hybrid 

Certification Criteria (HCC) for 

Transport Category Hybrid Airships,’’ 

Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company 

Document Number 1008D0122 Rev. C 

dated January 31, 2013 was specifically 

developed for the LMZ1M. This criteria 

is based on ‘‘FAA P–8110–2, Airship 

Design Criteria (ADC),’’ the ‘‘Transport 

Airship Requirements (TAR)’’, dated 

March 2000, 14 CFR Part 29— 

Airworthiness Standards: Transport 

Category Rotorcraft and to a lesser 

extent 14 CFR Parts 23, 25, 33 and 35. 

Certification Basis 

The Hybrid Certification Criteria 

(HCC) for Transport Category Hybrid 

Airships, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics 

Company Document Number 

1008D0122 Rev. C dated January 31, 

2013.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of Availability of a Draft 

Environmental Assessment 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability of a Draft 

Environmental Assessment for the 

construction and operation of a 

replacement aerial tramway on South 

Franklin Mountain, El Paso, Texas. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) proposes to fund, 

construct, operate, and maintain a 

replacement aerial tramway (ATRAM) 

system on South Franklin Mountain, El 

Paso, Texas. The purpose of the 

proposed project is the replacement of 

the existing ATRAM with a modern 

ATRAM system. The FAA needs to 

continue the safe and reliable transport 

of FAA maintenance personnel to 

service communication facilities located 

at the top of South Franklin Mountain. 

The FAA’s preferred alternative is to 

construct, operate, and maintain a 

replacement ATRAM at a location 

adjacent to the existing ATRAM system 

at South Franklin Mountain, El Paso, 

Texas. 

The FAA has prepared a Draft 

Environmental Assessment (DEA) in 

conformance with the requirements of 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

of 1969 (NEPA) and FAA Order 

1050.1E, Environmental Impacts: 

Policies and Procedures. The DEA 

analyzes the potential environmental 

impacts that may result from 

construction and operation of the 

proposed replacement ATRAM system 

at the proposed site, as well as the no 

action alternative (i.e., not constructing 

and operating the replacement 

ATRAM). 

DATES: The FAA will accept written 

comments on the DEA until close of 

business on July 29, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: The DEA is available for 

public review during a 30–day public 

comment period at the following 

libraries: 

El Paso Main Library, 501 North Oregon 

Street, El Paso, TX 79901. 

Richard Burges Branch Library, 9600 

Dyer St., El Paso, TX 79924. 

Written comments on the DEA may be 

sent to: Ms. Virginia Marcks, FAA, 

AJW–C15H, 2300 East Devon Ave., Des 

Plaines, IL 60018, fax 847–294–7698, 

email virginia.marcks@faa.gov. Copies 

of the Draft EA on compact disk may be 

obtained by contacting Ms. Virginia 

Marcks. Comments received on the DEA 

during the public comment period will 

be addressed in the Final Environmental 

Assessment.

Virginia Marcks, Manager, Infrastructure 

Engineering Center, Federal Aviation 

Administration, 2300 East Devon 

Avenue, Des Plaines, Illinois 60018.
