The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA proposes to amend 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 (AD): 

Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc.: Docket No. 

FAA–2013–0481; Directorate Identifier 

2011–SW–003–AD. 

(a) Applicability 

This AD applies to Bell Helicopter Textron, 

Inc. (Bell) Model 206A, 206B, 206L, 206L–1, 

206L–3, 206L–4, and 407 helicopters with an 

Apical Industries, Inc. (Apical) emergency 

float kit installed under supplemental type 

certificate (STC) number SR01535LA, 

certificated in any category. 

(b) Unsafe Condition 

This AD defines the unsafe condition as 

incorrectly installed float inflation hoses, 

which could result in failure of the 

emergency floats to inflate fully during an 

emergency. 

(c) Comments Due Date 

We must receive comments by August 5, 

2013. 

(d) Compliance 

You are responsible for performing each 

action required by this AD within the 

specified compliance time unless it has 

already been accomplished prior to that time. 

(e) Required Actions 

(1) Within 45 hours time-in-service: 

(i) Inspect each float inflation hose port 

fitting at the left-hand (LH) and right-hand 

(RH) forward crosstube saddles for corrosion, 

damage, or a bend in the tubing greater than 

5 degrees from their original position. 

(A) If there is corrosion that has penetrated 

the base material more than .010 inch, or 

damage that has removed more than .010 

inch of base material, before further flight, 

replace the port fitting. 

(B) If there is a bend in the port fitting 

tubing greater than 5 degrees from the 

original position of the tube, bend the port 

fitting back to its original position to enable 

complete sealing of the port fitting adapter. 

(ii) Inspect the position of each float 

inflation hose for proper connection and 

routing to the LH and RH port fittings. If the 

position of any float inflation hose is not as 

shown in figure 2 of Apical Alert Service 

Bulletin (ASB) No. SB2010–03, Revision C, 

dated December 21, 2011 (ASB SB2010–03), 

before further flight, correct the installation 

of the float inflation hose at the port fitting.

RH port fittings as shown in figures 3 and 4 

of ASB SB2010–03 and seal the marking label 

with clear shrink tubing. 

(2) Within 6 months: 

(i) Remove each hose connecting the aft 

float to the port fitting, part number (P/N) 

602.1417 for Model 206A and 206B

614.8709, onto the straight line fitting on the 

LH and RH port fittings as depicted in figure 

6 of ASB SB2010–03. 

(iii) Install an aft float hose, P/N 602.1430 

for Model 206A and 206B helicopters, P/N 

602.1431 for Model 206L, 206L–1, 206L–3, 

and 206L–4 helicopters, or P/N 602.1429 for

adaptor and aft float. 

(3) Do not install a hose, P/N 602.1417 for 

Model 206A and 206B helicopters, P/N 

602.1420 for Model 206L, 206L–1, 206L–3,

Proposed Modification of Class E 

Airspace; Brigham City, UT 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

modify Class E airspace at Brigham City 

Airport, Brigham City, UT. The 

proposed decommissioning of the 

Brigham City Nondirectional Radio 

Beacon (NDB) has made this action 

necessary for the safety and 

management of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) operations at the airport. This 

action also would make an adjustment 

to the geographic coordinates of the 

airport. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before July 22, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this 

proposal to the U.S. Department of

Persons interested in being placed on 

a mailing list for future NPRM’s 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 Brigham City 

Airport, Brigham City, UT. The existing 

segment would extend from the 4.3-mile 

radius of the airport to 9.4 miles 

southwest of the airport instead of 7 

miles from the NDB, keeping the same 

footprint. Decommissioning of the 

Brigham City NDB has made this action 

necessary, and would enhance the 

safety and management of aircraft 

operations. The geographic coordinates 

of the airport also would be updated to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005, of FAA 

Order 7400.9W, dated August 8, 2012, 

and effective September 15, 2012, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The 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 would 

modify controlled airspace at Brigham 

City Airport, Brigham City, UT. 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.
