6428 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 22 / Thursday, February 1, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

after the date of issuance of the original 

airworthiness certificate or original export 

certificate of airworthiness, whichever occurs 

later, inspect the airplane to determine the 

part number of the upper splitter fairing 

assembly installed on each engine. A review 

of airplane maintenance records is acceptable 

in lieu of this inspection if the part number 

of the upper splitter fairing assembly can be 

conclusively determined from that review. 

For engines on which no upper splitter 

fairing assembly part number (P/N) KH60375 

or P/N KH11560 is installed, the actions 

required by paragraph (g) of this AD are no 

longer required for that engine. 

(2) If, during any inspection or records 

review required by paragraph (i)(1) of this 

AD, an upper splitter fairing assembly P/N 

KH60375 or P/N KH11560 is found on any 

engine of an airplane: Except as specified by 

paragraph (j) of this AD, at the applicable 

times specified in the ‘‘Compliance’’ 

paragraph of Boeing Alert Requirements 

Bulletin B787–81205–SB720007–00 RB, Issue 

001, dated December 12, 2022, do all 

applicable actions identified in, and in 

accordance with, the Accomplishment 

Instructions of Boeing Alert Requirements 

Bulletin B787–81205–SB720007–00 RB, Issue 

001, dated December 12, 2022, for each 

affected engine. Accomplishing the actions 

required by this paragraph on all affected 

engines of an airplane terminates the actions 

required by paragraph (g) of this AD for that 

airplane. 

Note 2 to paragraph (i)(2): Guidance for 

accomplishing the actions required by 

paragraph (i)(2) of this AD can be found in 

Boeing Alert Service Bulletin B787–81205– 

SB720007–00, Issue 001, dated December 12, 

2022, which is referred to in Boeing Alert 

Requirements Bulletin B787–81205– 

SB720007–00 RB, Issue 001, dated December 

12, 2022. 

(j) Exceptions to Service Information 

Specifications for Paragraph (i)(2) of This 

AD 

(1) Where the Compliance Time column of 

table 5 in the ‘‘Compliance’’ paragraph of 

Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin B787– 

81205–SB720007–00 RB, Issue 001, dated 

December 12, 2022, uses the phrase ‘‘the 

Issue 001 date of Requirements Bulletin 

B787–81205–SB720007–00 RB,’’ this AD 

requires using ‘‘the effective date of this AD.’’ 

(2) Where the service information 

referenced in Boeing Alert Requirements 

Bulletin B787–81205–SB720007–00 RB, Issue 

001, dated December 12, 2022, specifies to 

remove the existing upper splitter fairing 

assembly P/N KH60375, this AD requires 

removing the existing upper splitter fairing 

assembly P/N KH60375 or P/N KH11560. 

(k) Parts Installation Prohibition 

(1) For airplanes with an original 

airworthiness certificate or original export 

certificate of airworthiness issued after the 

effective date of this AD, except for airplanes 

listed in Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 

B787–81205–SB720007–00 RB, Issue 001, 

dated December 12, 2022: As of the effective 

date of this AD, no person may install an 

engine with an upper splitter fairing 

assembly P/N KH60375 or P/N KH11560 on 

any airplane. 

(2) For airplanes with original 

airworthiness certificate or original export

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Harrison, OH 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends the Class 

E airspace at Harrison, OH. This action 

is the result of an airspace review 

conducted due to the decommissioning 

of the Cincinnati very high frequency 

omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of 

the VOR Minimum Operating Network 

(MON) Program. The geographic 

coordinates of the airport are also being 

updated to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database. This action 

brings the airspace into compliance 

with FAA orders to support instrument 

flight rule (IFR) operations. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, May 16, 

2024. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under 1 CFR part 51, 

subject to the annual revision of FAA 

Order JO 7400.11 and publication of 

conforming amendments.

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 amends the 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at Cincinnati 

West Airport, Harrison, OH, to support 

IFR operations at this airport. 

History 

The FAA published an NPRM for 

Docket No. FAA–2023–2118 in the 

Federal Register (88 FR 76152; 

November 6, 2023) proposing to amend 

the Class E airspace at Harrison, OH. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments 

were received. 

Incorporation by Reference 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order JO 7400.11, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. This 

document amends the current version of 

that order, FAA Order JO 7400.11H, 

dated August 11, 2023, and effective 

September 15, 2023. FAA Order JO 

7400.11H is publicly available as listed 

in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. These amendments will be 

published in the next update to FAA 

Order JO 7400.11. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11H lists Class A, 

B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic 

service routes, and reporting points. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 

modifies the Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

to within a 7.1-mile (increased from a 

6.4-mile) radius of Cincinnati West 

Airport, Harrison, OH; removes the 

exclusionary language as it is not 

required; removes the city associated 

with the airport in the legal description 

header to comply with changes to FAA 

Order JO 7400.2P, Procedures for 

Handling Airspace Matters; and updates 

the geographic coordinates of the airport 

to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. 

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. 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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 5–6.5.a. This airspace action 

is not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.
