SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), 

which is the aviation authority for the 

United Kingdom, has issued CAA AD 

G–2021–0011, dated October 8, 2021 

(CAA AD G–2021–0011) (also referred 

to as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or the 

MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition 

for all BAe 146 and AVRO 146–RJ 

airplanes. You may examine the MCAI 

in the AD docket on the internet at 

https://www.regulations.gov by 

searching for and locating Docket No. 

FAA–2021–1013. 

The FAA issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to supersede AD 2017–12–08, 

Amendment 39–18923 (82 FR 27414, 

June 15, 2017) (AD 2017–12–08). AD 

2017–12–08 applied to all BAE Systems 

(Operations) Limited Model BAe 146– 

100A, –200A, and –300A airplanes; and 

Model Avro 146–RJ70A, 146–RJ85A, 

and 146–RJ100A airplanes. The NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

November 23, 2021 (86 FR 66471). The 

NPRM was prompted by a 

determination that new or more 

restrictive airworthiness limitations are 

necessary. The NPRM proposed to 

require revising the existing 

maintenance or inspection program, as 

applicable, to incorporate new or more 

restrictive airworthiness limitations. 

The FAA is issuing this AD to address 

fatigue cracking of certain structural 

elements, which could adversely affect 

the structural integrity of the airplane. 

See the MCAI for additional background 

information. 

Comments 

The FAA gave the public the 

opportunity to participate in developing 

this final rule. The FAA has considered 

the comment received. An individual 

indicated their support for the NPRM. 

Conclusion 

The FAA reviewed the relevant data, 

considered the comment received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this 

final rule as proposed, except for minor 

editorial changes. The FAA has 

determined that these minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM for 

addressing the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

BAE Systems has issued Chapter 05, 

Time Limits/Maintenance Checks, of the 

BAe 146 Series/AVRO 146–RJ Series 

Aircraft Maintenance Manual, Revision 

132, dated June 15, 2021. This service 

information describes airworthiness 

limitations, including life limits, 

maintenance tasks, and critical design 

configuration control limitations 

(CDCCLs). 

This service information is reasonably 

available because the interested parties 

have access to it through their normal 

course of business or by the means 

identified in the ADDRESSES section. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD 

affects 30 airplanes of U.S. registry. The 

FAA estimates the following costs to 

comply with this AD: 

The FAA estimates the total cost per 

operator for the retained actions from 

AD 2017–12–08 to be $7,650 (90 workhours × $85 per work-hour). 

The FAA has determined that revising 

the maintenance or inspection program 

takes an average of 90 work-hours per 

operator, although the agency 

recognizes that this number may vary 

from operator to operator. Since 

operators incorporate maintenance or 

inspection program changes for their 

affected fleet(s), the FAA has 

determined that a per-operator estimate 

is more accurate than a per-airplane 

estimate. Therefore, the agency 

estimates the average total cost per 

operator to be $7,650 (90 work-hours × 

$85 per work-hour). 

The FAA estimates the total cost per 

operator for the new actions to be 

$7,650 (90 work-hours × $85 per workhour). 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

Title 49 of the United States Code 

specifies the FAA’s authority to issue 

rules on aviation safety. 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. 

The FAA is issuing this rulemaking 

under the authority described in 

Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 

44701: General requirements. Under 

that section, Congress charges the FAA 

with promoting safe flight of civil 

aircraft in air commerce by prescribing 

regulations for practices, methods, and 

procedures the Administrator finds 

necessary for safety in air commerce. 

This regulation is within the scope of 

that authority because it addresses an 

unsafe condition that is likely to exist or 

develop on products identified in this 

rulemaking action. 

Regulatory Findings 

The FAA determined that this AD 

will not have federalism implications 

under Executive Order 13132. This AD 

will not have a substantial direct effect 

on the States, on the relationship 

between the national government and 

the States, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities among the 

various levels of government. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify that this AD: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

(2) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska, and 

(3) Will not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.

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 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 the 

Class E surface airspace in Dyersburg, 

TN, to support IFR operations in the 

area. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (87 FR 6439, February 4, 2022) 

for Docket No. FAA–2021–0028 to 

amend Class E surface airspace at 

Dyersburg Regional Airport, Dyersburg, 

TN. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. One comment 

supporting this action was received. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in Paragraph 6002 of FAA 

Order JO 7400.11F, dated August 10, 

2021, and effective September 15, 2021, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in FAA 

Order JO 7400.11. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order JO 

7400.11F, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 10, 

2021, and effective September 15, 2021. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly 

available as listed in the ADDRESSES

section of this document. FAA Order JO 

7400.11F lists Class A, B, C, D, and E 

airspace areas, air traffic routes, and 

reporting points. 

The Rule 

The FAA is amending 14 CFR part 71 

by amending the Class E surface 

airspace at Dyersburg Regional Airport, 

Dyersburg, TN, due the 

decommissioning of the Nally Dunston 

NDB and cancellation of associated 

approaches. This action increases the 

radius to 4.7-miles (previously 4.1- 

miles), and updates the airport’s name 

(formerly Dyersburg Municipal Airport), 

and geographic coordinates to coincide 

with the FAA’s database. 

This action also replaces the outdated 

term Airport/Facility Directory with the 

term Chart Supplement in the airport 

description. 

Controlled airspace is necessary for 

the safety and management of 

instrument flight rules (IFR) operations 

in the area. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in Paragraph 6002 of FAA 

Order JO 7400.11F, dated August 10, 

2021, and effective September 15, 2021, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

would be published subsequently in 

FAA Order JO 7400.11. 

FAA Order JO 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. 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 minimal. Since this is a 

routine matter that only affects air traffic 

procedures an air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 5–6.5a. This airspace action 

is not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and
