Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 167 / Wednesday, September 1, 2021 / Proposed Rules 48921 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new airworthiness 

directive: 

Airbus SAS: Docket No. FAA–2021–0722; 

Project Identifier MCAI–2021–00329–T. 

(a) Comments Due Date 

The FAA must receive comments on this 

airworthiness directive (AD) by October 18, 

2021. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Airbus SAS Model 

A319–111, –112, –113, –114, –115, –131, 

–132, and –133 airplanes; Model A320–211, 

–212, –214, –216, –231, –232, and –233 

airplanes; and Model A321–111, –112, –131, 

–211, –212, –213, –231, and –232 airplanes, 

certificated in any category, as identified in 

European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 

2018–0255, dated November 27, 2018 (EASA 

AD 2018–0255). 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 25, Equipment/Furnishings.

during re-engineering of galley G5, a 9G 

forward full scale qualification test was 

performed, and the door of the waste 

compartment opened before the required 

load was reached. The FAA is issuing this 

AD to address failure of the galley door and 

release of trolleys during a rejected take-off 

or an emergency landing, which could result 

in injury to occupants and damage to 

airplane. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Requirements 

Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this 

AD: Comply with all required actions and 

compliance times specified in, and in 

accordance with, EASA AD 2018–0255. 

(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2018–0255 

(1) Where EASA AD 2018–0255 refers to its 

effective date, this AD requires using the 

effective date of this AD. 

(2) The ‘‘Remarks’’ section of EASA AD 

2018–0255 does not apply to this AD. 

(h) Clarification of Required Service 

Information 

Where Paragraph (1) of EASA AD 2018– 

0255 requires using, among other service 

information, ‘‘Zodiac Galleys Europe SB 

213510–25–001 rev. B,’’ this AD requires

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated July 21, 2020, and effective 

September 15, 2020. FAA Order 

7400.11E is publicly available as listed 

in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11E 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 by amending the Class 

E airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface to within a 7.2- 

mile (increased from a 6.4-mile) radius 

of Frankfort Dow Memorial Field, 

Frankfort, MI; removing the Manistee 

VOR/DME and associated extension 

from the airspace legal description; and 

updating the name (previously Frankfort 

Dow Memorial Field Airport) and the 

geographic coordinates of the airport to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. 

This action is due to an airspace 

review caused by the decommissioning 

of the Manistee VOR, which provided 

navigation information for the 

instrument procedures this airport, as 

part of the VOR MON Program. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020, 

and effective September 15, 2020, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, is 

published yearly and effective on 

September 15. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

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, is non-controversial and 

unlikely to result in adverse or negative 

comments. 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 rule, when 

promulgated, would 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.

Rulemaking 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background, Purpose and Legal 

Basis 

The Town of Madisonville, Louisiana 

has requested to change the operating 

schedule of the State Route 22 Bridge 

(Madisonville SR 22 drawbridge bridge) 

across the Tchefuncta River, mile 2.5, at 

Madisonville, St. Tammany Parish, 

Louisiana. This bridge is regulated 

under 33 CFR 117.500 and has a vertical 

clearance of 6.2 feet above Mean High 

Water in the closed-to-navigation 

position and unlimited clearance in the 

open-to-navigation position. The draw 

of this bridge opens on signal from 7 

p.m. to 6 a.m. From 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. the 

draw need only open on the hour and 

half hour, except that: From 6 a.m. to 9 

a.m. Monday through Friday except 

federal holidays the draw need only 

open on the hour; and from 4 p.m. to 

5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday 

except federal holidays the draw need 

not open. Navigation on the waterway 

consists primarily of recreational traffic. 

On November 4, 2016, at the request 

of the Louisiana Department of 

Transportation and Development (LA– 

DOTD), the Coast Guard issued a 

temporary deviation titled ‘‘Drawbridge 

Operation Regulations; Tchefuncta 

River, Madisonville, LA’’ (81 FR 76866). 

There, we stated that the 180-day 

deviation would test a temporary 

change to the operating schedule of the 

Madisonville (SR22) drawbridge bridge 

to determine whether a permanent 

change is necessary. From November 21, 

2016 through May 18, 2017, this 

deviation extended the time between 

openings from 30 minutes to an hour 

between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. daily, and 

allowed the bridge to remain closed at 

8 a.m., 5 p.m., and 6 p.m.. Monday 

through Friday except federal holidays. 

During the comment period that closed 

on January 18, 2017, the Coast Guard 

received no comments. 

On November 4, 2016, concurrent 

with the test deviation and on the basis 

of a recent traffic study conducted by 

LA–DOTD, the Coast Guard published a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

titled ‘‘Drawbridge Operation 

Regulations; Tchefuncta River, 

Madisonville, LA’’ (81 FR 76889). 

There, we stated that the traffic study 

indicated that the intersection of SR 22 

and SR 21/SR1077 is overcapacity at 

peak hours and causes unacceptable 

levels of delay to roadway traffic, which 

is compounded by the opening of the 

Madisonville SR 22 drawbridge bridge 

during peak hours. The traffic study also 

indicated that a combination of 

modifications of the traffic controls at 

this intersection and the operating 

schedule of the Madisonville SR 22 

drawbridge bridge would enhance the 

flow of vehicular traffic over SR 22. The 

NPRM proposed a change to the 

schedule of the Madisonville SR 22 

drawbridge bridge that extended the 

time between openings from 30 minutes 

to an hour between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. 

daily, and allowed the bridge to remain 

closed at 8 a.m., 5 p.m., and 6 p.m., 

Monday through Friday except federal 

holidays. During the comment period 

that closed on January 18, 2017, the 

Coast Guard received no comments. 

On July 16, 2018 at the request of 

LADOTD the Coast Guard published a 

Supplemental NPRM (SNPRM) in 83 FR 

27730 to change the operating schedule 

to provide daily bridge openings from 

half-hour intervals to hourly intervals 7 

days a week, close the bridge to vessels 

at 8 a.m., 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. on 

weekdays. LADOTD had requested that 

the Coast Guard permanently change the 

regulation based on information 

provided in the traffic study and also 

provided supplemental data and 

information on the population growth in 

St. Tammany Parish, including 

information on vehicle traffic counts on 

SR 22 from 2015, the locations of 

schools in the vicinity of SR 22 that 

contribute to vehicle congestion, St. 

Tammany Parish projected population 

growth rates, and residential 

construction permit growth. During the 

comment period that closed on July 16 

2018, the Coast Guard received 300
