various levels of government. Therefore,

it is determined that this proposal

would not have federalism implications

under Executive Order 13132.

For the reasons discussed above, I

certify that this proposed regulation (1)

is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the DOT

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44

FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and (3) if

promulgated, will not have a significant

economic impact, positive or negative,

on a substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act. A copy of the draft

regulatory evaluation prepared for this

action is contained in the Rules Docket.

A copy of it may be obtained by

The Proposed Amendment

Accordingly, pursuant to the

authority delegated to me by the

Administrator, the Federal Aviation

Administration proposes to amend part

39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations

(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. Section 39.13 is amended by

adding the following new airworthiness

directive:

Lockheed: Docket 2000–NM–41–AD.

Applicability: All Model L–1011–385

series airplanes; certificated in any category.

Note 1: This AD applies to each airplane

identified in the preceding applicability

provision, regardless of whether it has been

modified, altered, or repaired in the area

subject to the requirements of this AD. For

airplanes that have been modified, altered, or

repaired so that the performance of the

requirements of this AD is affected, the

owner/operator must request approval for an

alternative method of compliance in

accordance with paragraph (b) of this AD.

The request should include an assessment of

the effect of the modification, alteration, or

repair on the unsafe condition addressed by

this AD; and, if the unsafe condition has not

been eliminated, the request should include

specific proposed actions to address it.

Compliance: Required as indicated, unless

accomplished previously.

To prevent chafing of the fuel level control

switch wiring harness, which could cause

arcing and result in a fire in the fuel tank,

accomplish the following:

Inspection, Replacement, and Installation

(a) Within 12 months after the effective

date of this AD: Verify the part number (P/

N) of the wiring harness conduit and perform

a general visual inspection of the fuel level

control switch, the fuel level control switch

wiring harness, and the wiring harness

conduit to detect any visible damage, any

wear or chafing, broken or missing O-rings,

or indications of electrical arcing, in

accordance with the Accomplishment

Instructions in Lockheed Service Bulletin

093–28–094, dated March 3, 2000.

Note 2: For the purposes of this AD, a

general visual inspection is defined as: ‘‘A

visual examination of an interior or exterior

area, installation, or assembly to detect

obvious damage, failure, or irregularity. This

level of inspection is made under normally

available lighting conditions such as

daylight, hangar lighting, flashlight, or droplight, and may require removal or opening of

access panels or doors. Stands, ladders, or

platforms may be required to gain proximity

to the area being checked.’’

(1) If a conduit with P/N 97590–121 is

installed: Prior to further flight, install

sleeving over each fuel level control switch

wiring harness and install the modified fuel

level control switch, in accordance with the

service bulletin.

(2) If any conduit other than with P/N

97590–121 is installed: Prior to further flight,

replace the conduit with one having P/N

97590–121, install sleeving over each fuel

level control switch wiring harness, and

install the modified fuel level control switch,

in accordance with the service bulletin.

Alternative Methods of Compliance

(b) An alternative method of compliance or

adjustment of the compliance time that

provides an acceptable level of safety may be

used if approved by the Manager, Atlanta

Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA.

Operators shall submit their requests through

an appropriate FAA Principal Maintenance

Inspector, who may add comments and then

send it to the Manager, Atlanta ACO.

Note 3: Information concerning the

existence of approved alternative methods of

compliance with this AD, if any, may be

obtained from the Atlanta ACO.

Special Flight Permits

(c) Special flight permits may be issued in

accordance with sections 21.197 and 21.199

of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

21.197 and 21.199) to operate the airplane to

a location where the requirements of this AD

can be accomplished.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to

establish Class E airspace at Stanley,

ND, by creating Class E airspace for

Stanley Municipal Airport. Controlled

airspace extending upward from 700

feet above the surface is needed to

contain aircraft executing instrument

approach procedures. The area would

be depicted on appropriate aeronautical

charts. Class E airspace areas extending

upward from 700 feet or more above the

surface of the earth are published in

paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9H

dated September 1, 2000, and effective

September 16, 2000, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The Class E designations listed in

this document would be published

subsequently in the Order.

The FAA has determined that this

proposed regulation only involves an

establishment body of technical

regulations for which frequent and

routine amendments are necessary to

keep them operationally current.

Therefore, this proposed regulation—(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 proposed rule will

not have a significant economic impact

on a substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

The Proposed Amendment

Accordingly, pursuant to the
