(d) Subject 

Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC): 

Code 5200, Doors. 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by a report of a 

sliding door that was locked in the open 

position detaching from the helicopter during 

flight. The FAA is issuing this AD to address 

the insufficient upper rail roller locking 

mechanism of the sliding door. The unsafe 

condition, if not addressed, could lead to the 

sliding door detaching from the helicopter 

during flight, and subsequent damage to the 

helicopter and injury to persons on the 

ground. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Requirements 

Except as specified in paragraphs (h) and

actions and compliance times specified in, 

and in accordance with, EASA AD 2023– 

0131. 

(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2023–0131 

(1) Where EASA AD 2023–0131 refers to its 

effective date, this AD requires using the 

effective date of this AD. 

(2) Where EASA AD 2023–0131 requires 

compliance in terms of flight hours, this AD 

requires using hours time-in-service. 

(3) Where the service information 

referenced in EASA AD 2023–0131 specifies 

to discard parts, this AD requires removing 

those parts from service. 

(4) This AD does not adopt the ‘‘Remarks’’ 

section of EASA AD 2023–0131. 

(i) No Reporting Requirement 

Although the material referenced in EASA 

AD 2023–0131 specifies to submit certain 

information to the manufacturer, this AD 

does not require that action.

Branch, FAA, has the authority to approve 

AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the 

procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

Subtitle I, 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 the 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 as it would 

establish Class E airspace to support IFR

invited on the overall regulatory, 

aeronautical, economic, environmental, 

and energy-related aspects of the 

proposal. The most helpful comments

summarizing each substantive public 

contact with FAA personnel concerning

on this proposal, the FAA will consider 

all comments it receives on or before the 

closing date for comments. The FAA 

will consider comments filed after the 

comment period has closed if it is 

possible to do so without incurring 

expense or delay. The FAA may change 

this proposal in light of the comments

Incorporation by Reference 

Class E5 airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order JO 7400.11, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. This 

document proposes to amend the 

current version of that order, FAA Order 

JO 7400.11J, dated July 31, 2024 and 

effective September 15, 2024. These 

updates would be published in the next 

update to FAA Order JO 7400.11. That 

order is publicly available as listed in 

the ADDRESSES section of this document. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11J lists Class A, 

B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic 

service routes, and reporting points. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to 14 CFR part 71 to establish Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet or more from the surface of the 

earth at Pine Bluffs Municipal Airport, 

Pine Bluffs, WY. 

The airport is transitioning from VFR 

to IFR operations with the development 

of instrument arrival and departure 

procedures. Class E airspace should be 

established within a 7-mile radius of the 

airport, within 2.1 miles either side of 

the airport’s 090° bearing extending 9.5 

mile east, within 2.1 miles either side of 

the airport’s 270° bearing extending 12.2 

miles west, and that airspace extending 

upward from 1,200 feet above the 

surface within a 30-mile radius from 

Pine Bluffs Municipal Airport, WY. The 

establishment of Class E airspace at the 

airport will provide the containment of 

IFR operations in a controlled airspace 

extending upwards from 700 feet to 

1,500 feet above the surface of the earth. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

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. 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 

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. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.
