The Proposed Amendment

Accordingly, pursuant to the

authority delegated to me by the

Administrator, the Federal Aviation

Administration proposes to amend part

39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations

(14 CFR part 39) as follows:

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. Section 39.13 is amended by

adding the following new airworthiness

directive:

Airbus Industrie: Docket 2000–NM–230–AD.

Applicability: Model A330 and A340 series

airplanes, certificated in any category; except

those on which Airbus Modification 47917

(Airbus Service Bulletin A330–32–3119 or

A340–32–4157) has been incorporated in

production.

Note 1: This AD applies to each airplane

identified in the preceding applicability

provision, regardless of whether it has been

otherwise modified, altered, or repaired in

the area subject to the requirements of this

AD. For airplanes that have been modified,

altered, or repaired so that the performance

of the requirements of this AD is affected, the

owner/operator must request approval for an

alternative method of compliance in

accordance with paragraph (c) of this AD.

The request should include an assessment of

the effect of the modification, alteration, or

repair on the unsafe condition addressed by

this AD; and, if the unsafe condition has not

been eliminated, the request should include

specific proposed actions to address it.

Compliance: Required as indicated, unless

accomplished previously.

To prevent the attachment pin from fully

migrating from the brake torque rod and the

collar from detaching from the main landing

gear (MLG), which could result in loss of

braking on two wheels and the inability to

extend the MLG, accomplish the following:

Installation of Retainer Device

(a) Within 5 months after the effective date

of this AD, install a retainer device on the

attachment pin of the brake torque rods of the

MLG, in accordance with Airbus Service

Bulletin A330–32–3119 (for Model A330

series airplanes) or A340–32–4157 (for Model

A340 series airplanes), both dated July 13,

2000.

Note 2: The Airbus service bulletins refer

to Messier-Dowty Service Bulletins A33/34–

32–163 and A33/34–32–164, both dated

March 1, 2000, as additional sources of

service information for accomplishment of

the installation required by this AD.

Spares

(b) As of the effective date of this AD, no

person may install an MLG on any airplane

unless it has been modified in accordance

with the requirements of this AD.

Alternative Methods of Compliance

(c) 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,

International Branch, ANM–116, Transport

Airplane Directorate, FAA. Operators shall

submit their requests through an appropriate

FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector, who

may add comments and then send it to the

Manager, International Branch, ANM–116.

Note 3: Information concerning the

existence of approved alternative methods of

compliance with this AD, if any, may be

obtained from the International Branch,

ANM–116.

Special Flight Permits

(d) Special flight permits may be issued in

accordance with §§ 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

can be accomplished.

Note 4: The subject of this AD is addressed

in French airworthiness directives 2000–

478–130(B) and 2000–479–157(B), both dated

November 29, 2000.

Issued in Renton, Washington, on April 23,

2001.

Any person may obtain a copy of this

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to Part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) to

amend Class D airspace and establish

Class E4 airspace at Homestead, FL.

Class D airspace designations for

airspace areas extending upward from

the surface of the earth and Class E

airspace designations for airspace areas

designated as an extension to a Class D

airspace area are published in

Paragraphs 5000 and 6004 respectively

of FAA Order 7400.9H, dated September

1, 2000, and effective September 16,

2000, which is incorporated by

reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D

and Class E airspace designations 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. 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, will not have a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

The Proposed Amendment

In consideration of the foregoing, the

Federal Aviation Administration

proposes to amend 14 CFR Part 71 as
