(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Required Actions 

Within 300 hours time-in-service or 12 

months after the effective date of this AD, 

whichever occurs first, with the fanwheel 

removed, inspect each bracket installed on 

the fan scroll housing for looseness (bracket 

can be moved by hand) and fretting and 

accomplish the actions in paragraphs (g)(1) or 

(2) of this AD, as applicable. 

(1) If there is no looseness of any bracket 

and no fretting, before further flight, visually 

inspect the fiberglass adjacent to the rivets of 

the fan scroll housing for delamination. 

(i) If there is any delamination in the 

fiberglass, before further flight, remove the 

fan scroll housing from service and install an 

airworthy fan scroll housing using 5⁄32-inch 

rivets (3 rivets on each top bracket and 6 

rivets on the bottom bracket). Figure 1 of

2023 (SL–61B) depicts the location of each 

bracket and rivet. 

(ii) If there is no delamination in the 

fiberglass, before further flight, inspect for 

the installation of 5⁄32-inch rivets in all 12 

locations (3 rivets on each top bracket and 6 

rivets on the bottom bracket) depicted in 

Figure 1 of SL–61B. If a 5⁄32-inch rivet is not 

installed in all 12 locations, before further 

flight, replace each incorrectly sized rivet 

and each missing rivet with a 5⁄32-inch rivet. 

(iii) Apply a horizontal torque stripe to 

each rivet. 

(2) If any bracket is loose or has any 

fretting, before further flight, remove all 

brackets and inner plates from the fan scroll 

housing and accomplish the actions in 

paragraphs (g)(2)(i) through (iv) of this AD. 

(i) For each bracket with fretting, before 

further flight, remove the bracket from

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The FAA published a final rule in the 

Federal Register for Docket No. FAA– 

2023–1624 (89 FR 90578, November 18, 

2024) establishing Class E airspace at 

Rose Hill, KS to support new public 

instrument procedures. The effective 

date for that final rule is December 26, 

2024. After the final rule was published, 

the FAA determined that the effective 

date did not coincide with the FAA’s 

charting cut-off date.

Good Cause for No Notice and 

Comment 

Section 553(b)(3)(B) of Title 5, United 

States Code, (the Administrative 

Procedure Act) authorizes agencies to 

dispense with notice and comment 

procedures for rules when the agency 

for ‘‘good cause’’ finds that those 

procedures are ‘‘impracticable, 

unnecessary, or contrary to the public 

interest.’’ Under this section, an agency, 

upon finding good cause, may issue a 

final rule without seeking comment 

prior to the rulemaking. The FAA finds 

that prior notice and public comment to 

this final rule is unnecessary due to the 

brief length of the extension of the 

effective date and the fact that there is 

no substantive change to the rule. 

Delay of Effective Date 

Accordingly, pursuant to the 

authority delegated to me, the effective 

date of the final rule for Airspace Docket 

24–ACE–7, as published in the Federal 

Register on November 18, 2024 (89 FR 

90578), FR Doc. 2024–26734, is hereby 

delayed until February 20, 2025.

Safety Zone; Glen Island Approach 

Bridge, Long Island Sound, New 

Rochelle, NY 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Temporary interim rule and 

request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is 

establishing a temporary safety zone for 

certain waters of Long Island Sound in 

the vicinity of the Glen Island Approach 

Bridge, New Rochelle, NY, for 

construction vessels and machinery 

involved in the rehabilitation project of 

the bridge. The safety zone is needed to 

protect personnel, vessels, and the 

marine environment from potential 

hazards associated with the bridge 

construction between December 2, 2024, 

through May 27, 2027. When enforced, 

this regulation prohibits persons and 

vessels from being in the safety zone 

unless authorized by the Captain of the 

Port New York or a designated 

representative. 

DATES: This rule is effective without 

notice from December 3, 2024, through 

5 p.m. on May 27, 2027. For the 

purposes of enforcement, actual notice 

will be used from midnight on 

December 2, 2024, until December 3, 

2024. This rule will only be enforced 

during periods when construction 

operations at the bridge are in progress. 

Comments and related material must 

be received by the Coast Guard on or 

before March 3, 2025.

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background Information and 

Regulatory History 

On August 26, 2024, the Westchester 

County Department of Public Works and 

Transportation notified the U.S. Coast 

Guard of the Glen Island Bridge 

rehabilitation project and the need for 

waterway closures on the Long Island 

Sound. This project will establish a 

temporary bridge to Glen Island while 

the current bridge undergoes repairs. 

The Westchester County and the New 

Rochelle Harbor Master have provided 

information to the public and interested 

stakeholders through an established 

project page maintained by the county 

located at https://

publicworks.westchestergov.com/glenisland-approach-bridge-rehabilitation. 

This project page has been updated 

throughout the project and will be 

maintained to provide updated 

information to the public until the 

bridge rehabilitation project is finished. 

The contractor Kiewit Infrastructure 

Company has already conducted public 

outreach meetings with affected 

mariners and plans additional meetings 

to address any concerns with regards to 

the waterway closures in the future. 

The Coast Guard is issuing this 

temporary rule under the authority in 5 

U.S.C. 553(b)(B). This statutory 

provision authorizes an agency to issue 

a rule without prior notice and 

opportunity to comment when the 

agency for good cause finds that those 

procedures are ‘‘impracticable, 

unnecessary, or contrary to the public 

interest.’’ The Coast Guard finds that 

good cause exists for not publishing a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

with respect to this rule because prompt 

action is needed to respond to the 

potential safety hazards associated with 

the establishment of a temporary bridge 

and bridge repairs to the existing Glen 

Island Bridge. Publishing an NPRM 

would be impracticable and contrary to 

public interest because a safety zone 

must be established by December 2, 

2024, to ensure that the construction 

project is not delayed. Any delay in the 

project would adversely impact vehicle 

users and mariners in the future. 

Also, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the 

Coast Guard finds that good cause exists 

for making this rule effective less than 

30 days after publication in the Federal 

Register. Delaying the effective date of 

this rule would be impracticable 

because prompt action is needed to 

respond to the potential safety hazards 

associated with the establishment of a
