AD, prior to further flight, accomplish

paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this AD:

(1) Within 20 inches of the crack location

on the frame, perform a detailed visual

cracking. If any cracking is detected, prior to

further flight, repair in accordance with a

method approved by the Manager, Seattle

Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA,

Transport Airplane Directorate, or in

accordance with the Boeing 747 Structural

Repair Manual.

(2) Repeat the inspection required by

paragraph (a) of this AD thereafter at

intervals not to exceed 3,000 flight cycles.

(d) Accomplishment of the initial detailed

visual internal inspection of the Section 46

lower lobe frames required by paragraph

(a)(3) of AD 93–08–12 constitutes terminating

action for the requirements of this AD.

(e) 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, Seattle

ACO. Operators shall submit their requests

through an appropriate FAA Principal

Maintenance Inspector, who may add

comments and then send it to the Manager,

Seattle ACO.

Note 4: Information concerning the

existence of approved alternative methods of

compliance with this AD, if any, may be

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

The Proposal

The FAA is proposing to amend 14

CFR part 71 (part 71) by altering the

route of J–41 between the Lee County,

FL, VORTAC and the Seminole, FL,

VORTAC. Currently, aircraft landing in

the Tampa and Sarasota/Fort Myers

areas are routed over the St. Petersburg,

FL, VORTAC, which also serves as a

major navigational aid for transitioning

aircraft into southern Florida. Due to the

volume of air traffic utilizing the St.

Petersburg VORTAC, it would be

advantageous to segregate aircraft
41486 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 149 /Tuesday, August 4, 1998 / Proposed Rules

landing in the Tampa area and aircraft

landing in the Sarasota/Fort Myers area

that are currently routed over the St.

Petersburg VORTAC. Also, the

separation of J–41 and J–43 before the

St. Petersburg VORTAC would increase

capacity in the National Airspace

System by eliminating a choke point at

the St. Petersburg VORTAC. This

proposed modification of J–41 would

increase system capacity, enhance

safety, and improve the management of

air traffic operations in the west Florida

area.

Jet route designations are published in

paragraph 2004 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 jet route listed in this

document would be published

subsequently in the Order.

The FAA has determined that 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 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 proposed 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.

Federal Aviation Administration
