AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting an 

airworthiness directive (AD) that 

published in the Federal Register. That 

AD applies to all Piper Aircraft, Inc. 

Models PA–31, PA–31–325, and PA– 

31–350 airplanes. Table 1 of paragraph 

(g) lists the incorrect model/part number 

for the Model PA–31–350, tail pipe 

assembly, top. This document corrects 

that error. In all other respects, the 

original document remains the same. 

DATES: This final rule is effective 

September 5, 2013. The effective date 

for AD 2013–10–04 (78 FR 35110, June 

12, 2013) remains July 17, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD 

docket on the Internet at http://

Docket Management Facility between 9 

a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through 

Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD 

docket contains this AD, the regulatory 

evaluation, any comments received, and 

other information. The address for the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Airworthiness Directive 2013–10–04 (78 

FR 35110, June 12, 2013), currently 

requires a detailed repetitive inspection 

of the exhaust system, expanding the 

inspection scope to include the entirety 

of each airplane exhaust system, and 

repair or replacement of parts as 

necessary for all Piper Aircraft, Inc. 

Models PA–31, PA–31–325, and PA– 

31–350 airplanes. 

As published, the part number for the 

tail pipe assembly, top; under the Model 

PA–31–350; in Table 1 of paragraph (g) 

is incorrect. 

No other part of the preamble or 

regulatory information has been 

changed; therefore, only the changed 

portion of the final rule is being 

published in the Federal Register. 

The effective date of this AD remains 

July 17, 2013.

Docket No. 11–AWP–11] 

Amendment of Class D Airspace; 

Santa Monica, CA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class D 

airspace at Santa Monica Municipal 

Airport, Santa Monica, CA, to 

accommodate aircraft departing and 

arriving under Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) at the airport. This action initiated 

by the biennial review of the Santa 

Monica Municipal Airport airspace area, 

and on the results of a study conducted 

by the Los Angeles Visual Flight Rules 

(VFR) Task Force, and the Los Angeles 

Class B Workgroup, enhances the safety 

and management of aircraft operations 

at the airport. Adjustments to the 

geographic coordinates of the airport 

also are made. 

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, 

December 12, 2013. The Director of the 

Federal Register approves this 

incorporation by reference action under 

1 CFR Part 51, subject to the annual 

revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and 

publication of conforming amendments. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick 

Roberts, Federal Aviation

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On October 27, 2011, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to modify controlled airspace at Santa 

Monica, CA (76 FR 66662). Interested 

parties were invited to participate in 

this rulemaking effort by submitting 

written comments on the proposal to the 

FAA. No comments were received. 

Subsequent to publication, the Los 

Angeles VFR Airspace Task Force 

reassessed the proposal and on June 25, 

2013, the FAA published in the Federal 

Register a supplemental notice of 

proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to 


ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
54562 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 172 / Thursday, September 5, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 

further modify controlled airspace at 

Santa Monica, CA (78 FR 37997). 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in the rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments 

were received. 

Class D airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 5000, of FAA 

Order 7400.9W dated August 8, 2012, 

and effective September 15, 2012, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

Part 71.1. The Class D airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in that 

Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

modifying the Class D airspace area to 

within a 4-mile radius of Santa Monica 

Municipal Airport, Santa Monica, CA, 

with a segment extending from the 4- 

mile radius to 4.6 miles northeast of the 

airport, to accommodate IFR aircraft 

departing and arriving at the airport. 

The geographic coordinates of the 

airport are updated to coincide with the 

FAA’s aeronautical database. Expanding 

the current Santa Monica Municipal 

Airport Class D airspace reduces those 

areas that pose a high collision risk to 

low level commercial, general aviation, 

military and helicopter operations. 

The FAA has determined 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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified this rule, when promulgated, 

does 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 

discusses the authority of 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 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 modifies 

controlled airspace at Santa Monica 

Municipal Airport, Santa Monica, CA. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 311a. This airspace action is 

not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.

14 CFR Part 97 

[Docket No. 30917; Amdt. No. 3552] 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums 

and Obstacle Departure Procedures; 

Miscellaneous Amendments 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, 

suspends, or revokes Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures 

(SIAPs) and associated Takeoff 

Minimums and Obstacle Departure 

Procedures for operations at certain 

airports. These regulatory actions are 

needed because of the adoption of new 

or revised criteria, or because of changes 

occurring in the National Airspace 

System, such as the commissioning of 

new navigational facilities, adding new 

obstacles, or changing air traffic 

requirements. These changes are 

designed to provide safe and efficient 

use of the navigable airspace and to 

promote safe flight operations under 

instrument flight rules at the affected 

airports. 

DATES: This rule is effective September 

5, 2013. The compliance date for each 

SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, 

and ODP is specified in the amendatory 

provisions. 

The incorporation by reference of 

certain publications listed in the 

regulations is approved by the Director 

of the Federal Register as of September 

5, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter 

incorporated by reference in the 

amendment is as follows:
