life limit. Based on these figures, the

total cost impact of the AD on U.S.

operators is estimated to be $15,950,000.

The regulations adopted herein will

not have substantial direct effects on the

States, on the relationship between the

national government and the States, or

on the distribution of power and

responsibilities among the various

levels of government. Therefore, in

accordance with Executive Order 12612,

it is determined that this final rule does

not have sufficient federalism

implications to warrant the preparation

of a Federalism Assessment.

For the reasons discussed above, I

certify that this action (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)

will not have a significant economic

impact, positive or negative, on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act. A final evaluation has

been prepared for this action and it is

contained in the Rules Docket. A copy

of it may be obtained from the Rules

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 USC 106(g), 40113, 44701.

§ 39.13 [Amended]

2. Section 39.13 is amended by

adding the following new airworthiness

directive:

Note 1: This airworthiness directive (AD)

applies to each engine identified in the

preceding applicability provision, regardless

of whether it has been modified, altered, or

repaired in the area subject to the

requirements of this AD. For engines 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 (d)

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 fan disk rupture, engine failure,

and damage to the aircraft, accomplish the

following:

(a) Remove from service fan disks, P/N’s

6020T62G04, 6020T62G05, 6078T00G01, and

5921T54G01, prior to accumulating 9,000

cycles in service (CIS) since new, and replace

with a serviceable part.

(b) For the purpose of this AD, a

serviceable part is defined as a fan disk with

less than 9,000 CIS.

(c) This AD defines a new life limit of

9,000 CIS for fan disks, P/N’s 6020T62G04,

6020T62G05, 6078T00G01, and 5921T54G01.

(d) 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, Engine

Certification Office. The request should be

forwarded through an appropriate FAA

Principal Maintenance Inspector, who may

add comments and then send it to the

Manager, Engine Certification Office.

Note 2: Information concerning the

existence of approved alternative methods of

compliance with this airworthiness directive,

if any, may be obtained from the Engine

Certification Office.

(e) 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 aircraft to

a location where the requirements of this AD

can be accomplished.

(f) This amendment becomes effective on

May 27, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On June 19, 1996, a proposal to

amend part 71 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish

the Class D airspace at McKinney, TX,

was published in the Federal Register

(61 FR 31063). A municipal contracted

air traffic control tower has begun

providing air traffic control services for

pilots operating at McKinney Municipal

Airport. The proposal was to establish

adequate controlled airspace extending

upward from the surface to and

including 2,900 feet MSL within a 4-

mile radius of the airport. The proposal

was intended to provide controlled

airspace at McKinney Municipal

Airport.

Interested parties were invited to

participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA.

No comments to the proposal were

received. The rule is therefore adopted

as proposed.

The coordinates for this airspace

docket are based on North American

Datum 83. Class D airspace designations

for airspace areas are published in

Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 7400.9D

dated September 4, 1996, and effective

September 16, 1996, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The Class D airspace designation

listed in this document will be

published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) establishes the Class D airspace

located at McKinney Municipal Airport,

McKinney, TX, to provide controlled

airspace for aircraft operating with the

services of the air traffic control tower.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation only involves an established
14290 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 58 / Wednesday, March 26, 1997 / Rules and Regulations

body of technical regulations that need

frequent and routine amendments 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 rule

will not have a significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

entities under the criteria of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

action will change several airspace legal

descriptions to reflect the name change

of the Sacramento International Airport.

The 1996 name change of the

Sacramento Metropolitan Airport to

Sacramento International Airport has

made this action necessary. The

intended effect of this action is to

replace all references to Sacramento

Metropolitan Airport with Sacramento

International Airport. Class D airspace

areas are published in Paragraph 5000

and Class E airspace areas are published

in Paragraph 6002 and Paragraph 6003

of FAA Order 7400.9D dated September

4, 1996, and effective September 16,

1996, which is incorporated by

reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D

and E airspace designation listed in this

document would be published

subsequently in this Order.

The Direct Final Rule Procedure

The FAA anticipates that this

regulation will not result in adverse or

negative comment and therefore is

issuing it as a direct final rule. This

action changes several airspace legal

descriptions to reflect the name change

of the Sacramento International Airport.

The intended effect of this action is to

replace all references to Sacramento

Metropolitan Airport with Sacramento

International Airport. Unless a written

adverse or negative comment, or a

written notice of intent to submit an

adverse or negative comment is received

within the comment period, the

regulation will become effective on the

date specified above. After the close of

the comment period, the FAA will

publish a document in the Federal

Register indicating that no adverse or

negative comments were received and

confirming the date on which the final

rule will become effective. If the FAA

does receive, within the comment

period, an adverse or negative comment,

or written notice of intent to submit

such a comment, a document

withdrawing the direct final rule will be

published in the Federal Register, and

a notice of proposed rulemaking may be

published with a new comment period.

Comments Invited

Although this action is in the form of

a final rule and was not preceded by a

notice of proposed rulemaking,

comments are invited on this rule.

Interested persons are invited to

comment on this rule by submitting

such written data, views, or arguments

as they may desire. Communications

should identify the Rules Docket

number and be submitted in triplicate to

the address specified under the caption

ADDRESSES. All communications

received on or before the closing date

for comments will be considered, and

this rule may be amended or withdrawn

in light of the comments received.

Factual information that supports the

commenter’s ideas and suggestions is

extremely helpful in evaluating the

effectiveness of this action and

determining whether additional

rulemaking action would be needed.

Comments are specifically invited on

the overall regulatory, economic,

environmental, and energy aspects of

the rule that might suggest a need to

modify the rule. All comments
