2022–14–11 Stemme AG (Type Certificate 

Previously Held by Stemme GmbH & Co. 

KG): Amendment 39–22116; Docket No. 

FAA–2022–0809; Project Identifier 

MCAI–2022–00711–G. 

(a) Effective Date 

This airworthiness directive (AD) is 

effective July 26, 2022. 

(b) Affected ADs 

None. 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to Stemme AG (type 

certificate previously held by Stemme GmbH 

& Co. KG) Model Stemme S 12 gliders, serial 

numbers 12–002 through 12–042 inclusive 

and serial number 12–044, certificated in any 

category. 

(d) Subject 

Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by mandatory 

continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated by an aviation authority of another 

country to identify and correct an unsafe 

condition on an aviation product. The MCAI 

identifies the unsafe condition as a deviation 

in the construction of the connection of the 

inner wing to the outer wing, resulting in a 

wrong positioning of the left-hand (LH) and 

right-hand (RH) outer wing spar glass-fiber 

reinforced plastic (GFRP) blocks. The FAA is 

issuing this AD to detect wrong positioning 

of the GFRP blocks, which, if not corrected, 

could cause a rupture of the affected wing 

and consequent loss of control of the glider. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Inspection and Replacement 

Before further flight after the effective date 

of this AD, inspect the LH and RH outer wing 

spars for positioning of the GFRP blocks by 

following Working Steps 1.1 through 3.2 in 

Stemme Procedural Instruction P320– 

912060, Revision 00, dated May 20, 2022. 

(1) If a GFRP block is correctly positioned, 

seal the inspection holes by following 

Working Steps 4.1 through 4.3 in Stemme 

Procedural Instruction P320–912060, 

Revision 00, dated May 20, 2022. 

(2) If a GFRP block is incorrectly 

positioned, before further flight, repair using 

a method approved by the FAA; the 

European Union Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA); or Stemme AG’s Design 

Organization Approval (DOA). If approved by 

the DOA, the approval must include the 

DOA-authorized signature. 

(h) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(1) The Manager, International Validation 

Branch, FAA, has the authority to approve 

AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the 

procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In 

accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, send your 

request to your principal inspector or local 

Flight Standards District Office, as

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 expands the 

availability of RNAV in Alaska and 

improve the efficient flow of air traffic

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 131 / Monday, July 11, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 41053 

within the National Airspace System by 

lessening the dependency on ground 

based navigation. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking for Docket No. 

FAA–2021–0859 in the Federal Register 

(86 FR 58814; October 25, 2021), 

establishing United States Area 

Navigation (RNAV) route T–390 in the 

vicinity of St. Paul Island, AK in 

support of a large and comprehensive Troute modernization project for the state 

of Alaska. Interested parties were 

invited to participate in this rulemaking 

effort by submitting comments on the 

proposal. There were no comments 

received. 

United States Area Navigation Routes 

are published in paragraph 6011 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 RNAV route listed in this 

document would be published 

subsequently in FAA Order JO 

7400.11F. 

Differences From the NPRM 

Subsequent to the publication of the 

NPRM for Docket No. FAA–2021–0859 

in the Federal Register (86 FR 58814; 

October 25, 2021), establishing United 

States Area Navigation (RNAV) route T– 

390 in the vicinity of St. Paul Island, 

AK, the FAA determined it was 

necessary to and rename the ZEKTI 

waypoint (WP) to the DUMZU WP to 

comply with FAA administrative 

guidance for FIX-name reservations. 

Additionally, the FAA determined it 

was necessary to relocate the WANKI 

and ZEKTI (now DUMZU) waypoints to 

address instrument flight procedure 

concerns related to two points (i.e. FIX, 

navigational aid, waypoints) being 

located too close to one another. As a 

result, the latitude/long geographic 

coordinates for the WANKI and DUMZU 

waypoints are changed from what was 

proposed in the NPRM. This change 

moves the waypoints by approximately 

600-feet from the location as proposed 

in the NPRM. This rule incorporates 

these changes. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

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 service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by 

establishing RNAV route T–390 in the 

vicinity of St. Paul Island, AK in 

support of a large and comprehensive Troute modernization project for the state 

of Alaska. 

The route is described below. 

T–390: This action establishes T–390 

from the WANKI, AK, WP to the 

DUMZU, AK, WP located adjacent to 

the Iliamna, AK, (ILI) Non-Directional 

Beacon (NDB). 

FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, is 

published yearly and effective on 

September 15. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA 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 Department of 

Transportation (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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and 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 determined that this 

airspace action of establishing RNAV 

route T–390 in the vicinity of St. Paul 

Island, AK qualifies for categorical 

exclusion under the National 

Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 

4321 et seq.) and its implementing 

regulations at 40 CFR part 1500, and in 

accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures, paragraph 5–6.5a, which 

categorically excludes from further 

environmental impact review 

rulemaking actions that designate or 

modify classes of airspace areas, 

airways, routes, and reporting points 

(see 14 CFR part 71, Designation of 

Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas; 

Air Traffic Service Routes; and 

Reporting Points), and paragraph 5–6.5i, 

which categorically excludes from 

further environmental review the 

establishment of new or revised air 

traffic control procedures conducted at 

3,000 feet or more above ground level 

(AGL); procedures conducted below 

3,000 feet AGL that do not cause traffic 

to be routinely routed over noise 

sensitive areas; modifications to 

currently approved procedures 

conducted below 3,000 feet AGL that do 

not significantly increase noise over 

noise sensitive areas; and increases in 

minimum altitudes and landing 

minima. As such, this action is not 

expected to result in any potentially 

significant environmental impacts. In 

accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

paragraph 5–2 regarding Extraordinary 

Circumstances, the FAA has reviewed 

this action for factors and circumstances 

in which a normally categorically 

excluded action may have a significant 

environmental impact requiring further 

analysis. Accordingly, the FAA has 

determined that no extraordinary 

circumstances exist that warrant 

preparation of an environmental 

assessment or environmental impact 

study.
