Code 7250, Turbine Section. 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by a report of a 

manufacturing quality escape due to 

insufficient cooling of the LPT stage 5 air seal 

resulting in a reduction of the life of the lowcycle fatigue (LCF) life limit. The FAA is 

issuing this AD to prevent failure of the LPT 

stage 5 air seal. The unsafe condition, if not 

addressed, could result in the uncontained 

release of the LPT stage 5 air seal, damage to 

the engine, and damage to the airplane. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Required Actions 

At the next piece-part exposure, or before 

the LPT stage 5 air seal accumulates 8,240 

cycles since new, whichever occurs first after 

the effective date of this AD, remove the LPT 

stage 5 air seal from service and replace it 

with a part eligible for installation. 

(h) Definitions 

(1) For the purpose of this AD, ‘‘piece-part 

exposure’’ is when an LPT stage 5 air seal has 

been disassembled from the engine. 

(2) For the purpose of this AD, a ‘‘part 

eligible for installation’’ is an LPT stage 5 air 

seal, P/N 50N324, with an S/N not listed in 

Table 1 to Paragraph (c) of this AD. 

(i) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(1) The Manager, ECO Branch, FAA, has 

the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, 

if requested using the procedures found in 14

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 

(U.S.C.). 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 would 

modify Class D and Class E airspace, 

and remove Class E airspace at King 

Salmon Airport, AK, to support IFR and 

VFR operations at the airport. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the 

Federal Register for Docket No. FAA– 

2022–0317 (87 FR 20794; April 8, 2022) 

to modify the Class D and Class E 

surface airspace, modify Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface, and remove Class 

E airspace designated as an extension to 

Class D or Class E surface area at King 

Salmon Airport, AK. Interested parties 

were invited to participate in this 

rulemaking effort by submitting written 

comments on the proposal to the FAA. 

No comments were received. 

Class D, Class E2, Class E4 and Class 

E5 airspace designations are published 

in paragraphs 5000, 6002, 6004, and 

6005, respectively, 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 D and 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, 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 service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

The FAA is amending 14 CFR part 71 

by modifying the Class D and Class E 

surface airspace, modifying the Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface, and removing the 

Class E4 airspace designated as an 

extension to Class D or Class E surface 

area at King Salmon Airport, King 

Salmon, AK. 

Both the Class D and Class E surface 

areas are increased in radius to properly 

contain departures until reaching 700 

feet above the surface, contain IFR 

arrivals descending below 1,000 feet 

above the surface, and to contain 

circling maneuvers at the airport. In 

addition, an extension to the Class D 

and Class E surface areas is installed to 

the southeast of the airport due to rising 

terrain. This extension contains IFR 

departures until reaching 700 feet above 

the surface. 

Similarly, the FAA is installing a shelf 

to the Class D and Class E surface areas. 

The shelf allows for floatplane 

operations to and from the Naknek River 

when weather is below VFR minimums 

at the airport. 

In addition, the FAA is removing the 

King Salmon Class E airspace, 

designated as an extension to Class D 

and Class E surface areas, as it’s no 

longer needed. 

Furthermore, the FAA is modifying 

the Class E airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface at King 

Salmon Airport. The current radius, 

which contains departing aircraft until 

reaching 1,200 feet above ground level 

(AGL), is reduced, as the extra coverage 

is not needed. The areas to the southeast 

and northwest of the airport are reduced 

to more appropriately contain the points 

at which an arriving aircraft would 

normally descend below 1,500 AGL. 

Moreover, the FAA is increasing the 

ceiling of the Class D airspace to 2,600 

feet mean sea level (MSL) to account for 

the 73-foot airport elevation. Class D 

areas should normally extend upward 

from the surface up to and including 

2,500 feet AGL. The altitude must be 

converted to MSL and rounded to the 

nearest 100 feet. 

Additionally, this action also removes 

the King Salmon Very High Frequency 

Omnidirectional Range and Tactical Air 

Navigation (VORTAC) from the Class E5 

text header and the airspace description. 

The NAVAID is not required to describe 

the airspace area, and the removal of the 

NAVAID simplifies the airspace’s legal 

description. 

Finally, the FAA is modifying several 

administrative portions of the King 

Salmon Airport’s legal descriptions. The 

city name is removed from the second 

line of the Class D, Class E2, and Class 

E5 airspace legal descriptions. The 

second line should read: ‘‘King Salmon 

Airport, AK.’’ Additionally, the current 

Class D and Class E surface area legal 

descriptions are modified to replace the 

use of the phrases ‘‘Notice to Airmen’’ 

and ‘‘Airport/Facility Directive.’’ These 

phrases should read ‘‘Notice to Air 

Missions’’ and ‘‘Chart Supplement,’’ 

respectively, in both legal descriptions. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11 is published 

annually and becomes 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 

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 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
36394 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 117 / Friday, June 17, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant the preparation of an 

environmental assessment.

IFR Altitudes; Miscellaneous 

Amendments 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts 

miscellaneous amendments to the 

required IFR (instrument flight rules) 

altitudes and changeover points for 

certain Federal airways, jet routes, or 

direct routes for which a minimum or 

maximum en route authorized IFR 

altitude is prescribed. This regulatory 

action is needed because of changes 

occurring in the National Airspace 

System. These changes are designed to 

provide for the safe and efficient use of 

the navigable airspace under instrument 

conditions in the affected areas. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, July 14,

Telephone: (405) 954–4164. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

amendment to part 95 of the Federal 

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 95) 

amends, suspends, or revokes IFR 

altitudes governing the operation of all 

aircraft in flight over a specified route 

or any portion of that route, as well as 

the changeover points (COPs) for 

Federal airways, jet routes, or direct 

routes as prescribed in part 95. 

The Rule 

The specified IFR altitudes, when 

used in conjunction with the prescribed 

changeover points for those routes, 

ensure navigation aid coverage that is 

adequate for safe flight operations and 

free of frequency interference. The 

reasons and circumstances that create 

the need for this amendment involve 

matters of flight safety and operational 

efficiency in the National Airspace 

System, are related to published 

aeronautical charts that are essential to 

the user, and provide for the safe and 

efficient use of the navigable airspace. 

In addition, those various reasons or 

circumstances require making this 

amendment effective before the next 

scheduled charting and publication date 

of the flight information to assure its 

timely availability to the user. The 

effective date of this amendment reflects 

those considerations. In view of the 

close and immediate relationship 

between these regulatory changes and 

safety in air commerce, I find that notice 

and public procedure before adopting 

this amendment are impracticable and 

contrary to the public interest and that 

good cause exists for making the 

amendment effective in less than 30 

days. 

Conclusion 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established
