17388 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 71 / Wednesday, April 15, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

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. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new AD: 

2009–08–09 EADS SOCATA: Amendment 

39–15882; Docket No. FAA–2009–0124; 

Directorate Identifier 2009–CE–004–AD. 

Effective Date 

(a) This airworthiness directive (AD) 

becomes effective May 20, 2009. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to TBM 700 airplanes, 

serial numbers 434 through 478, certificated 

in any category. 

Subject 

(d) Air Transport Association of America 

(ATA) Code 92: Wiring Elements. 

Reason 

(e) The mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) states: 

A damaged wiring harness which caused 

the air conditioning system circuit breaker to 

trip and evidencing a local overheating has 

been found on an in-service aircraft. 

The investigation revealed that the damage 

(chafed wires) found on the wiring harness 

resulted from an interference with the underfloor attachment fittings of the cabin partition 

net which was due to an incorrect routing of 

the harness while on the production line. 

Such conditions could result in an 

electrical short and potential loss of several 

functions essential for the safety of flight. 

For the reason stated above, this AD 

mandates inspection of the electrical wiring 

harness, and if necessary a rework of its 

routing. 

Actions and Compliance 

(f) Unless already done, do the following 

actions: 

(1) Within the next 100 hours time-inservice after May 20, 2009 (the effective date 

of this AD) or within the next 12 months after 

May 20, 2009 (the effective date of this AD), 

whichever occurs first, inspect the electrical 

wiring harness at frame C14 and between 

frames C16 and C17 for wire chafing and 

incorrect routing following EADS SOCATA 

Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 70–163, dated 

November 2008. 

(2) If any wire chafing and/or incorrect 

routing are found, before further flight, repair 

and reroute the electrical harness following 

EADS SOCATA Mandatory Service Bulletin 

SB 70–163, dated November 2008. 

FAA AD Differences 

Note: This AD differs from the MCAI and/ 

or service information as follows: No 

differences.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On November 26, 2008, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking to amend 

the geographic coordinates of the Class 

D and E Airspace areas for Corpus 

Christi Naval Air Station (NAS)/Truax 

Field, Corpus Christi, TX. (73 FR 71966, 

Docket No. FAA–2008–1140). Interested 

parties were invited to participate in 

this 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 7400.9S 

signed October 3, 2008, and effective 

October 31, 2008, which is incorporated 


rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 71 / Wednesday, April 15, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 17389 

by reference in 14 CFR Part 71.1. Class 

E airspace designations are published in 

paragraph 6004 of FAA Order 7400.9S 

signed October 3, 2008, and effective 

October 31, 2008, which is incorporated 

by reference in 14 CFR Part 71.1. The 

Class D and Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

amending the geographic coordinates of 

the Class D and E Airspace areas for 

Corpus Christi Naval Air Station (NAS)/ 

Truax Field, Corpus Christi, TX. 

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, 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 FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

Section 106, describes 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 amends 

controlled airspace at Corpus Christi 

NAS/Truax Field, Corpus Christi, TX.
