Adoption of the Amendment

Accordingly, pursuant to the

authority delegated to me by the

Administrator, the Federal Aviation

Administration amends 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:

2000–03–05 Boeing: Amendment 39–11562.

Docket 96–NM–226–AD.

Applicability: Model 737–200 series

airplanes equipped with SAF–T–GL0

Aerospace Limited emergency floor path

lighting systems installed in accordance with

Supplemental Type Certificate (STC)

ST00969AT, certificated in any category.

Note 1: This AD applies to each airplane

identified in the preceding applicability

provision, regardless of whether it has been

otherwise 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 inadequate lighting and cueing

of the emergency floor path lighting system,

which could delay or impede the flight crew

and passengers when exiting the airplane

during an emergency, accomplish the

following:

(a) Within 6 months after the effective date

of this AD, remove the existing

photoluminescent emergency floor path

lighting system from the airplane. Replace it

with an emergency floor path lighting system

in accordance with Supplemental Type

Certificate ST01829AT, dated February 11,

1999, or an FAA–approved emergency floor

path lighting system that is installed in

accordance with a method approved by the

Manager, Atlanta Aircraft Certification Office

(ACO), FAA, Small Airplane Directorate.

(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

ACO. 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 2: Information concerning the

existence of approved alternative methods of

compliance with this AD, if any, may be

obtained from the Atlanta ACO.

(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.

(d) This amendment becomes effective on

March 16, 2000.

Issued in Renton, Washington, on February

4, 2000.

Revision to the Legal Description of

the Burlington International Class C

Airspace Area; VT

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action revises the legal

description of the Burlington, VT, Class

C airspace area by changing the

operating hours to be consistent with

the current operational requirements.

Specifically, the Class C airspace area

will be designated effective during the

specific days and hours of operation of

the Burlington Tower and Approach

Control facility as established in

advance by a Notice to Airmen

(NOTAM). The effective dates and times

thereafter will be continuously

published in the Airport/Facility

Directory. This action will not change

the actual dimensions, configuration, or

operating requirements of the

Burlington Class C airspace area.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 24, 2000.

Terry Brown, Airspace and Rules

Division, ATA–400, Office of Air Traffic

Administration, 800 Independence

Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The Burlington Airport Traffic

Control Tower is reducing its hours of

operation. The Burlington Class C

airspace area remains an essential safety

measure in support of the ongoing

airport operation requirements.

On November 15, 1999, the FAA

published an NPRM (64 FR 61803) that

proposed to revise the legal description

of the Burlington, VT, Class C airspace

area by changing the operating hours to

be consistent with the current

operational requirements. Interested

parties were invited to participate in

this rulemaking proceeding by

submitting comments on the proposal to

the FAA. No comments objecting to the

proposal were received. However, one

error was found in the coordinates of

the legal description in the notice for

the Burlington International Airport,

VT. Except for the change in the

coordinates, this amendment is the

same as that proposed in the notice.

The Rule

This amendment to part 71 of The

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) revises the legal description of

the Burlington Class C airspace area

located at Burlington, VT. The legal

description will use the operating hours

for the Class C airspace area which are

consistent with the current

requirements. The Class C airspace area

is designated effective during the

specific days and hours of operation of

the Burlington facility as established in

advance by a NOTAM. This action is a

technical amendment to the legal

description and will not change the

actual dimensions, configuration, or

operating requirements of the

Burlington Class C airspace area.

The coordinates for this airspace

docket are based on North American

Datum 83. Class C airspace areas are

published in paragraph 4000 of FAA

Order 7400.9G, dated September 1,

1999, and effective September 16, 1999,

which is incorporated by reference in 14

CFR 71.1. The Class C airspace area

listed in this document will be

published subsequently in the Order.

6536 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 28 / Thursday, February 10, 2000 / Rules and Regulations

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. Therefore, this 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,

when promulgated, will not have a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory Act.
