(l) Other FAA AD Provisions 

The following provisions also apply to this 

AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, International 

Branch, ANM–116, Transport Airplane 

Directorate, FAA, has the authority to 

approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. 

In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, send your 

request to your principal inspector or local 

Flight Standards District Office, as 

appropriate. If sending information directly 

to the International Branch, send it to ATTN: 

Sanjay Ralhan, Aerospace Engineer, 

International Branch, ANM–116, Transport 

Airplane Directorate, FAA, 1601 Lind 

Avenue SW., Renton, WA 98057–3356; 

telephone 425–227–1405; fax 425–227–1149. 

Information may be emailed to: 9-ANM-116- 

AMOC-REQUESTS@faa.gov. Before using 

any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate 

principal inspector, or lacking a principal 

inspector, the manager of the local flight 

standards district office/certificate holding 

district office. The AMOC approval letter 

must specifically reference this AD. 

(2) Contacting the Manufacturer: For any 

requirement in this AD to obtain corrective 

actions from a manufacturer, the action must 

be accomplished using a method approved 

by the Manager, International Branch, ANM– 

116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA; or 

the EASA; or Airbus’s EASA DOA. If 

approved by the DOA, the approval must 

include the DOA-authorized signature. 

(3) Required for Compliance (RC): If any 

service information contains procedures or 

tests that are identified as RC, those 

procedures and tests must be done to comply 

with this AD; any procedures or tests that are 

not identified as RC are recommended. Those 

procedures and tests that are not identified 

as RC may be deviated from using accepted 

methods in accordance with the operator’s 

maintenance or inspection program without 

obtaining approval of an AMOC, provided 

the procedures and tests identified as RC can 

be done and the airplane can be put back in 

an airworthy condition. Any substitutions or 

changes to procedures or tests identified as 

RC require approval of an AMOC.

Proposed Amendment of Class D and 

E Airspace, and Revocation of Class E 

Airspace; Troy, AL 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

amend Class D and E airspace, and 

remove Class E airspace designated as 

an extension at Troy Municipal Airport 

at N. Kenneth Campbell Field (formerly 

Troy Municipal Airport), Troy, AL. The 

Troy VHF Omnidirectional Radio Range 

(VOR) has been decommissioned, 

therefore Class E extension airspace is 

no longer needed, and new Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures have 

been developed for Class D airspace and 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at the airport. 

This action would enhance the safety 

and airspace management of Instrument 

Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the 

airport. This action also would update 

the geographic coordinates of the airport 

and recognize the name change of the 

airport.

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.

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

FAA Order 7400.9Z, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated August 6, 2015, and effective 

September 15, 2015. FAA Order 

7400.9Z is publicly available as listed in 

the ADDRESSES section of this document. 

FAA Order 7400.9Z lists Class A, B, C, 

D, and E airspace areas, air traffic 

service routes, and reporting points. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface, at Troy 

Municipal Airport at N. Kenneth 

Campbell Field, formerly Troy 

Municipal Airport, Troy, AL, as new 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures have been developed 

requiring airspace redesign. 

Additionally, Class E airspace 

designated as an extension to Class D 

surface area would be removed due to 

the decommissioning of the Troy VOR 

and cancellation of the VOR 

approaches. For the Class D and E 

airspace areas above the geographic 

coordinates of the airport would be 

amended to coincide with the FAAs 

aeronautical database. This action is 

necessary for continued safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. 

Class D and E airspace designations 

are published in Paragraphs 5000, 6004 

and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 

7400.9Z, dated August 6, 2015, and 

effective September 15, 2015, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D and E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed 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 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 

Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal would be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 

5.6.5a, ‘‘Environmental Impacts: 


rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 119 / Tuesday, June 21, 2016 / Proposed Rules 40215
