Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 75 / Monday, April 20, 1998 / Proposed Rules 19429

Regulatory Impact

The regulations proposed herein

would 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

proposal would not have sufficient

federalism implications to warrant the

preparation of a Federalism Assessment.

For the reasons discussed above, I

certify that this proposed regulation (1)

is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the DOT

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44

FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and (3) if

promulgated, 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 copy of the draft

regulatory evaluation prepared for this

action is contained in the Rules Docket.

A copy of it may be obtained by

contacting the Rules Docket at the

location provided under the caption

The Proposed Amendment

Accordingly, pursuant to the

authority delegated to me by the

Administrator, the Federal Aviation

Administration proposes to amend 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 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

§ 39.13 [Amended]

2. Section 39.13 is amended by

adding the following new airworthiness

directive:

Dassault Aviation: Docket 98–NM–25–AD.

Applicability: All Model Mystere-Falcon

200, Fan Jet Falcon, and Mystere-Falcon 20

series airplanes, certificated in any category.

Note 1: This AD applies to each airplane

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

airplanes 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 (b) 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 loss of the wing-to-fuselage

upper fairings during flight, which could

result in the fairings impacting the engines or

tail sections, and consequent reduced

controllability of the airplane, accomplish

the following:

(a) Within 7 months or 330 flight hours

after the effective date of this AD, whichever

occurs first, accomplish the requirements of

paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this AD in

accordance with Chapter 53–50–0, dated May

1996, of Fan Jet Falcon Dassault Aviation

Maintenance Manual Phase 34, dated June

1997, (for Model Fan Jet Falcon and MystereFalcon 20 series airplanes), or Chapter 53,

Procedure 731–3 of Mystere-Falcon 200

Dassault Aviation Maintenance Manual,

Revision 12, dated April 30, 1996 (for Model

Mystere-Falcon 200 series airplanes); as

applicable.

(1) Perform an inspection to detect cracks

at the attaching holes of the wing-to-fuselage

fairings and to ensure tightness of the screws.

If any discrepancy is found, prior to further

flight, repair. If a repair is not specified in the

applicable maintenance manual, prior to

further flight, repair in accordance with a

method approved by the Manager,

International Branch, ANM–116, FAA,

Transport Airplane Directorate. Thereafter,

repeat the inspection at intervals not to

exceed 6 months or 300 flight hours,

whichever occurs first.

(2) Install cupwashers under the vertical

seams of the upper fairings.

(b) 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,

International Branch, ANM–116. Operators

shall submit their requests through an

appropriate FAA Principal Maintenance

Inspector, who may add comments and then

send it to the Manager, International Branch,

ANM–116.

Note 2: Information concerning the

existence of approved alternative methods of

compliance with this AD, if any, may be

obtained from the International Branch,

ANM–116.

(c) 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 airplane to

a location where the requirements of this AD

can be accomplished.

Note 3: The subject of this AD is addressed

in French airworthiness directives 96–092–

021(B), dated April 24, 1996, and 96–246–

022(B), dated November 6, 1996.

Issued in Renton, Washington, on April 13,

1998.

Proposed Revision of Class E

Airspace; Barrow, AK

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This action revises Class E

airspace at Barrow, AK. The

establishment of Global Positioning

System (GPS) instrument approaches to

runway (RWY) 6 and RWY 24 at Wiley

Post-Will Rogers Memorial Airport,

Barrow, AK, has made this action

necessary. Adoption of this proposal

would result in the provision of

adequate controlled airspace for

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations

at Barrow, AK.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before June 4, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the

proposal in triplicate to: Manager,

The Proposal

The FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR

part 71 by revising the Class E airspace

at Barrow, AK, due to the establishment

of GPS instrument approaches to RWY

6 and RWY 24. The area would be

depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot

reference. The intended effect of this

proposal is to provide adequate

controlled airspace for IFR operations at

Wiley Post-Will Rogers Memorial

Airport, Barrow, AK.

The coordinates for this airspace

docket are based on North American

Datum 83. The Class E airspace areas

designated as 700/1200 foot transition

areas are published in paragraph 6005 of

FAA Order 7400.9E, Airspace

Designations and Reporting Points,

dated September 10, 1997, and effective

September 16, 1997, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1 (62 FR 52491; October 8, 1997).

The Class E airspace designation listed

in this document would be revised and

published subsequently in the Order.

The FAA has determined that these

proposed regulations only involve 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 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.

The Proposed Amendment

In consideration of the foregoing, the

Federal Aviation Administration
