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 failure of the aft avionic fan due

to inadequate cooling airflow through the fan

housing, which could result in failure of the

avionics equipment, accomplish the

following:

(a) Within 3 months after the effective date

of this AD, modify the aft avionic fan in

accordance with Dornier Service Bulletin

SB–328–21–215, Revision 1, dated June 12,

(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, FAA,

Transport Airplane Directorate. Operators

shall submit their request through an

appropriate FAA Principal Maintenance

Inspector, who may add comments and then

send it to the Manager, International Branch,

ANM–116.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On Thursday, March 12, 1998, the

FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71

to establish Class E airspace at Martin,

SD (63 FR 12044). The proposal was to

add controlled airspace extending

upward from 700 to 1200 feet AGL to

contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)

operations in controlled airspace during

portions of the terminal operation and

while transiting between the enroute

and terminal environments.

Interested parties were invited to

participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA.

No comments objecting to the proposal

were received. Class E airspace

designations for airspace areas

extending upward from 700 feet or more

above the surface of the earth are

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order 7400.9E dated September 10,

1997, and effective September 16, 1997,

which is incorporated by reference in 14

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace

designation listed in this document will

be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71

establishes Class E airspace at Martin,

SD, to accommodate aircraft executing

the proposed GPS Rwy 32 SIAP at

Martin Municipal Airport by creating

controlled airspace for the airport.

Controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 to 1200 feet AGL is needed to

contain aircraft executing the approach.

The area would be depicted on

appropriate aeronautical charts.

The FAA has determined that 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 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:

History

On Thursday, March 12, 1998, the

FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR Part 71

to modify Class E airspace at Nauvoo, IL

(63 FR 12053). The proposal was to add

controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 to 1200 feet AGL to contain

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations

in controlled airspace during portions of

the terminal operation and while

transiting between the enroute and

terminal environments.

Interested parties were invited to

participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA.

One comment objecting to the proposal

was received. An official at the Iowa

State Penitentiary, Fort Madison, IA,

stated ‘‘We have no objection to the

proposal, except aircraft should not be

allowed in the airspace above the Iowa

State penitentiary, 31 Ave. G, Fort

Madison, Iowa 52627. This is a

maximum security prison at the east

end of the City of Fort Madison.’’ The

Cedar Ridge Airport is approximately

five (5) nautical miles south-southwest

of the penitentiary. The penitentiary

actually underlies the Class E airspace

for Fort Madison, IA, which is excluded

from the Class E airspace at Nauvoo, IL.

The ground track of the proposed GPS

Rwy 27 SIAP, including the missed

approach ground track, keeps aircraft

executing this SIAP a minimum of five

(5) nautical miles south-southwest of

the penitentiary. This airspace proposal

does not affect the controlled airspace

above the penitentiary.

Class E airspace designations for

airspace areas extending upward from

700 feet or more above the surface of the

earth are published in paragraph 6005 of

FAA Order 7400.9E dated September

10, 1997, and effective September 16,

1997, which is incorporated by

reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E

airspace designation listed in this

document will be published

subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71

establishes Class E airspace at Nauvco,

IL, to accommodate aircraft executing

the proposed GPS Rwy 27 SIAP at Cedar

Ridge Airport by creating controlled

airspace at the airport. The area will be

depicted on appropriate aeronautical

charts.

The FAA has determined that 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 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.
