Airworthiness Standards; Rotor 

Overspeed Requirements; Correction 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting an 

unintentional error in the preamble of 

the final rule, Airworthiness Standards; 

Rotor Overspeed Requirements, 

published on July 18, 2011 (76 FR 

42020). The final rule established 

uniform rotor overspeed design and test 

requirements for aircraft engines and 

turbochargers certificated by the FAA 

and the European Aviation Safety 

Agency (EASA). This document corrects 

an error in the preamble. 

DATES: Effective September 8, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Background 

On Monday, July 18, 2011, the FAA 

published a final rule entitled 

‘‘Airworthiness Standards; Rotor 

Overspeed Requirements’’ (76 FR 

42022). The final rule revised the 

aircraft turbine engine rotor overspeed 

type certification standards. 

During the review process, we 

determined a portion of the section 

entitled ‘‘Total Estimated Benefits and 

Costs of this Proposed Rule’’ should be 

removed. We found that this section 

included a discussion of a comment that 

had already been fully discussed in the 

paragraph headed ‘‘Material Properties 

of Test Rotors’’. We are therefore 

eliminating discussion of this comment 

in the benefits and costs section of the 

preamble. 

Correction to Preamble 

1. On page 42022, third column, 

revise the first full paragraph of ‘‘Total 

Estimated Benefits and Costs of This 

Proposed Rule’’ to read as follows: 

‘‘Industry must currently certificate to the 

two standards that are substantively similar, 

but have a few slightly different testing and 

documentation procedures and requirements. 

The rule harmonizes these procedures and 

requirements to the higher standard and, 

thereby, may increase safety. In addition, by 

reducing the amount of duplicative testing 

that would need to be either witnessed or 

analyzed by the FAA, the FAA is better able 

to prioritize its resources to other, more 

safety critical areas. Consequently, we 

determined that unquantifiable future 

minimal benefits from the rule may also 

accrue. The FAA concludes that the 

combination of cost savings and potential 

increased safety benefits will make this rule 

cost beneficial. Further, we therefore 

determined that this rule is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ as defined in section 3(f) 

of Executive Order 12866, and is not 

‘‘significant’’ as defined in DOT’S Regulatory 

Policies and Procedures.’’ 

This correction ensures correct 

understanding of and FAA response to 

comments received. There are no 

changes to the existing regulatory text.

[Docket No. FAA–2011–0087; Airspace 

Docket No. 11–ASO–12] 

Amendment of Class D Airspace; Eglin 

AFB, FL 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D 

Airspace in the Eglin Air Force Base 

(AFB), FL airspace area. The Destin 

Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) has been 

decommissioned and new Standard 

Instrument Approaches have been 

developed for Destin-Fort Walton Beach 

Airport that enhances the safety and 

management of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) operations at the airport. 

This action also corrects the 

geographic coordinates of Eglin AFB, 

Duke Field, and Hulbert Field. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, October 20, 

2011. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under title 1, Code of 

Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to 

the annual revision of FAA Order 

7400.9 and publication of conforming 

amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On July 1, 2011, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking to amend Class D 

airspace in the Eglin AFB, FL area (76 

FR 38580) Docket No. FAA–2011–0087. 

Subsequent to publication, the FAA 

found that the latitude coordinates for 

Eglin AFB were not rounded up. This 

rule makes that correction. Also, this 

action adjusts the geographic 

coordinates for Duke Field and Hurlburt 

Field. Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. One comment was 

received supporting this action. Class D 

airspace designations are published in
