Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 40 / Wednesday, February 28, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 14579 

44701: General requirements. Under 

that section, Congress charges the FAA 

with promoting safe flight of civil 

aircraft in air commerce by prescribing 

regulations for practices, methods, and 

procedures the Administrator finds 

necessary for safety in air commerce. 

This regulation is within the scope of 

that authority because it addresses an 

unsafe condition that is likely to exist or 

develop on products identified in this 

rulemaking action. 

Regulatory Findings 

This AD will not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This AD will not have a 

substantial direct effect on the States, on 

the relationship between the national 

Government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

For the reasons discussed, I certify 

that this AD: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

and 

(2) Will not affect intrastate aviation

in Alaska. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference, 

Safety. 

The Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA amends 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. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new airworthiness

directive:

2024–02–55 Bell Textron Canada Limited: 

Amendment 39–22674; Docket No. 

FAA–2024–0226; Project Identifier 

MCAI–2024–00069–R. 

(a) Effective Date

The FAA issued Emergency Airworthiness

Directive (AD) 2024–02–55 on January 26, 

2024, directly to affected owners and 

operators. As a result of such actual notice, 

that emergency AD was effective for those 

owners and operators on the date it was 

provided. This AD contains the same 

requirements as that emergency AD and, for 

those who did not receive actual notice, is 

effective on March 14, 2024. 

(b) Affected ADs

None.

(c) Applicability

This AD applies to Bell Textron Canada

Limited Model 505 helicopters, certificated 

in any category, as identified in Transport 

Canada Emergency AD CF–2024–03, dated 

January 25, 2024 (Transport Canada AD CF– 

2024–03). 

(d) Subject

Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)

Code: 5532 Vertical stabilizer, plates/skin. 

(e) Unsafe Condition

This AD was prompted by multiple

occurrences of the vertical stabilizer top end 

cap assembly being found cracked, with 

some cases including the departure of the 

navigation/very high frequency omnidirectional range (VOR)/glide slope antenna 

and tuning weight from the helicopter during 

flight. The FAA is issuing this AD to detect 

cracking on the vertical stabilizer top end cap 

assembly. The unsafe condition, if not 

addressed, could result in the antenna or 

tuning weight departing from the helicopter 

and impacting and damaging the tail rotor, 

resulting in the loss of directional control of 

the helicopter. 

(f) Compliance

Comply with this AD within the

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Requirements

Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this

AD: Comply with all required actions and 

compliance times specified in, and in 

accordance with, Transport Canada AD CF– 

2024–03. 

(h) Exceptions to Transport Canada AD CF–

2024–03

(1) Where Transport Canada AD CF–2024–

03 refers to its effective date, this AD requires 

using the effective date of this AD. 

(2) Where Transport Canada AD CF–2024–

03 refers to ‘‘air time,’’ this AD requires 

replacing those words with ‘‘hours time-inservice.’’ 

(i) Special Flight Permits

Special flight permits are prohibited.

(j) Alternative Methods of Compliance

(AMOCs)

(1) The Manager, International Validation

Branch, FAA, has the authority to approve 

AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the

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 the 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 modifies the 

Air Traffic Service (ATS) route structure 

as necessary to preserve the safe and 

efficient flow of air traffic within the 

National Airspace System. 

History 

On July 25, 2023, the FAA published 

a final rule for Docket No. FAA–2023– 

1276 in the Federal Register (88 FR 

47762) amending Q–97 in support of the 

FAA’s Northeast Corridor Atlantic Coast 

Routes (NEC ACR) Optimization Project. 

The amendment removed eight WPs and 

one Fix from the route because they did 

not denote a turn of one degree or more 

and moved the DLAAY, MD, WP along 

the route south of its previous position 

to deconflict New York arrival traffic 

from departures climbing southbound 

on RNAV Routes Q–97 and Q–167. The 

effective date of those amendments was 

October 5, 2023. 

Subsequent to the amendment of Q– 

97, the FAA identified a safety related 

issue caused by the similar sounding 

WP names of the DLAAY WP and the 

ZJAAY, MD, WP that is located 

approximately 25 nautical miles from 

the DLAAY WP. The similar sounding 

WP names have caused confusion and 

frequent communication errors between 

air traffic control and flight crews. To 

eliminate the confusion and potential 

future communications errors, the FAA 

is changing the DLAAY WP name to the 

BYSEL, MD, WP and keeping the same 

geographic coordinates for the WP 

position. 

Additionally, since amending Q–97 as 

noted above, the SAWED, VA, Fix and 

the KALDA, VA, Fix listed in the route 

description was changed from a Fix to 

a WP in the FAA NASR database. 

Accordingly, this action is updating the 

type of route point of the SAWED Fix 

and KALDA Fix in the Q–97 description 

from being listed as a ‘‘Fix’’ to a ‘‘WP’’. 

Finally, when the final rule for Docket 

No. FAA–2023–1276 was published, the 

geographic coordinates listed for the 

route points from the TOVAR, FL, WP 

to the WOPNR, OA, WP were 

inadvertently repeated for the route 

points extending from the JEVED, GA, 

WP to the Presque Isle, ME, VOR/DME. 

To correct this error, the FAA is 

correcting the geographic coordinates 

for the route points extending from the 

JEVED WP to the Presque Isle VOR/DME 

to match the FAA’s NASR database 

information for each point. 

Incorporation by Reference 

United States Area Navigation Routes 

(Q-routes) are published in paragraph 

2006 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 action amends 14 CFR part 71 by 

amending RNAV Route Q–97 by 

changing the name of the DLAAY, MD, 

WP to the BYSEL, MD, WP; changing 

the type of point of the SAWED, VA and 

KALDA, VA, route points from ‘‘Fix’’ to 

‘‘WP’’; and correcting the geographic 

coordinates listed for the existing route 

points from the JEVED, GA, WP to the 

Presque Isle, ME, VOR/DME. 

These editorial amendments to the Q– 

97 description are made to ensure the 

route matches the FAA NASR database 

information and charted depiction of 

the route. The changed BYSEL WP 

name, the changed type of route point 

for the SAWED WP and KALDA WP, 

and the corrected geographic 

coordinates for the route points between 

the JEVED WP and the Presque Isle 

VOR/DME are listed in the Q–97 

description in the regulatory text of this 

final rule. 

Since this action merely involves 

editorial amendments in the Part 71 

description of U.S. RNAV Route Q–97, 

and does not involve a change in the 

alignment, dimensions, or operating 

requirements of that route, notice and 

public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) 

are unnecessary. 

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 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 40 / Wednesday, February 28, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 14581 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that these 

editorial amendment actions of RNAV 

route Q–97, to match the existing FAA 

NASR database information and charted 

route depiction, qualifies for categorical 

exclusion under the National 

Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 

4321 et seq.) and its implementing 

regulations at 40 CFR part 1500, and in 

accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures, paragraph 5–6.5a, which 

categorically excludes from further 

environmental impact review 

rulemaking actions that designate or 

modify classes of airspace areas, 

airways, routes, and reporting points 

(see 14 CFR part 71, Designation of 

Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas; 

Air Traffic Service Routes; and 

Reporting Points). As such, this action 

is not expected to result in any 

potentially significant environmental 

impacts. In accordance with FAA Order 

1050.1F, paragraph 5–2 regarding 

Extraordinary Circumstances, the FAA 

has reviewed this action for factors and 

circumstances in which a normally 

categorically excluded action may have 

a significant environmental impact 

requiring further analysis. Accordingly, 

the FAA has determined that no 

extraordinary circumstances exist that 

warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment or 

environmental impact study.
