### 8322 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 30 / Monday, February 14, 2011 / Proposed Rules

from compliance with the applicable standards of airworthiness in effect on the date of application. Type Certification Basis

Under the provisions of 14 CFR 21.17, PWC must show that the model PW210S turboshaft engine meets the provisions of the applicable regulations in effect on the date of application. The application date is December 5, 2005, which corresponds to 14 CFR part 33 Amendment 20. However, PWC has elected to demonstrate compliance to later amendments of part 33 for this model. Therefore, the certification basis for the PW210S model turboshaft engine will be part 33, effective February 1, 1965, as amended by Amendments 33– 1 through 33–24.

If the Administrator finds that the applicable airworthiness regulations in part 33, as amended, do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for the PWC model PW210S turboshaft engine, because of a novel or unusual design feature, special conditions are prescribed under the provisions of § 21.16.

The FAA issues special conditions, as defined by 14 CFR 11.19, in accordance with 14 CFR 11.38, which become part of the type certification basis in accordance with § 21.17(b)(2).

Special conditions are initially applicable to the model for which they are issued. Should the type certificate for that model be amended later to include another related model that incorporates the same or similar novel or unusual design feature, or should any other model already included on the same type certificate be modified to incorporate the same or similar novel or unusual design feature, the special conditions would also apply to the other model. Novel or Unusual Design Features

The Pratt and Whitney Canada (PWC) model PW210S turboshaft engine will incorporate a novel or unusual design feature associated with engine operation in auxiliary power unit (APU) mode. Special conditions for APU mode are proposed to address the novel and unusual design feature. The special conditions are discussed below.

Discussion

The proposed special conditions are similar to those requirements that currently exist in 14 CFR part 33, § 33.96 Engine Tests in Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) Mode. However the current rule only applies to turboprop type engines, therefore special conditions are needed to apply appropriate requirements to turboshaft type engines. Also, the type certification considerations for function and reliability are common between these two engine types in this regard, making requirements similar to current § 33.96 generally applicable to turboshaft engine types. Future rulemaking may occur to expand the applicability of § 33.96 to include turboshaft type engines. Applicability

As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to PWC model PW210S turboshaft engines. If Pratt and Whitney Canada applies later for a change to the type certificate to include another related model incorporating the same novel or unusual design feature, these special conditions would apply to that model as well.

Conclusion

This action affects only certain novel or unusual design features on one model of engine. It is not a rule of general applicability, and it affects only the applicant who applied to the FAA for approval of these features on the engine. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 33

The authority citation for these special conditions is as follows:

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701– 44702, 44704. The Proposed Special Conditions

Accordingly, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes the following special conditions as part of the type certification basis for Pratt and Whitney Canada (PWC) model PW210S turboshaft engines.

1. PART 1 DEFINITION. Unless otherwise approved by the Administrator and documented in the appropriate manuals and certification documents, the following definition applies to this special condition:

‘‘Auxiliary Power Unit Mode ’’ Engine operation with the main output shaft and power turbine locked and stationary, while the gas generator portion of the engine continues to operate, for the purpose of supplying the rotorcraft with electric/hydraulic/ pneumatic power (as applicable) while on the ground.

2. PART 33 REQUIREMENTS: (a) Ground locking: A total of 45 hours with the engine output shaft locked to simulate rotor brake engagement, in a manner which clearly demonstrates the complete engine’s ability to function without adverse affect while operating in the APU mode under the maximum conditions of engine rotor speed, torque, temperature, air bleed and power extraction as specified by the applicant.

(b) Dynamic braking: A total of 400 application-release cycles of simulated brake engagements must be made in a manner which clearly demonstrates the complete engine’s ability to function without adverse affect under the maximum conditions of engine acceleration and deceleration rate, rotor speed, torque and temperature as specified by the applicant. The engine output shaft must be stopped prior to brake-release.

(c) One hundred engine starts and stops with the output shaft locked in a manner simulating rotor brake engagement.

(d) The tests required by paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this section must be performed on the same engine, but this engine need not be the same engine used for the tests required by § 33.87 of 14 CFR part 33.

(e) The tests required by paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this section must be followed by engine disassembly to the extent necessary to show that each engine part conforms to the type design and is eligible for incorporation into an engine for continued operation in accordance with information submitted in compliance with § 33.4, Instructions for Continued Airworthiness.

(f) Brake engagement and release: The effects on the engine of braking and releasing the output shaft, including partial or sudden events while the engine is running, must be determined.

Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for future NPRMs should contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking, (202) 267–9677, for a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application procedure. The Proposal

The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by modifying Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Livermore Municipal Airport, Livermore, CA. This action also would add the airport name and geographic coordinates to the Class E airspace designation. Controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate aircraft using the new ILS LOC standard instrument approach procedures at Livermore Municipal Airport. Also, this action would correct a typographic error in the regulatory text of the Class D airspace area by correcting the word ‘iport’ to ‘Airport’. This action would enhance the safety and management of aircraft operations at the Airport.

Class D and Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 5000 and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9U, dated August 18, 2010, and effective September 15, 2010, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and Class E airspace designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in this Order.

The FAA has determined this proposed regulation only involves an established 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 this proposed rule, when promulgated, would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

The FAA’s authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, section 106, describes the authority for 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 establishes additional controlled airspace at Livermore Municipal Airport, Livermore, CA. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by amending Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface for standard instrument approach procedures at McCall Municipal Airport, McCall, ID. Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the decommissioning of the McCall NDB and cancellation of the NDB approach. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations at the Airport. This also would correct the airport name from McCall Airport to McCall Municipal Airport.

Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005, of FAA Order 7400.9U, dated August 18, 2010, and effective September 15, 2010, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR Part 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in this document will
