Federal Aviation Administration 

Artisan Liens on Aircraft; Recordability 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice 

SUMMARY: Consistent with Agency 

practice, this notice is issued to advise 

interested parties of the addition of the 

States of Idaho and Utah to the list of 

those thirty-three states from which the 

Aircraft Registration Branch (FAA 

Aircraft Registry), Mike Monroney 

Aeronautical Center, Oklahoma City, 

Oklahoma, will accept artisan liens for 

recordation. Since December 17, 1981, 

the Aeronautical Center Counsel has 

issued these notices in the Federal 

Register. 

DATE: This notice is effective October 

13, 2005. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Joseph R. Standell, Aeronautical Center 

Counsel, Aeronautical Center (AMC–7),

73169. Telephone (405) 954–3296. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 46 FR 

61528, December 17, 1981, the Federal 

Aviation Administration published its 

legal opinion on the recordability of 

artisan liens, with the identification of 

those states from which artisan liens 

would be accepted. Subsequently, we 

advised that Florida, Nevada, and New 

Jersey had passed legislation that, in our 

opinion, allows the FAA Aircraft 

Registry to accept artisan liens from 

those states (49 FR 17112, April 23, 

1984). 

The Agency continued this practice 

when we adivsed that the following 

states had passed legislation that either 

required or allowed recording of notice 

of lien thereby allowing the FAA 

Aircraft Registry to accept and record 

artisan liens claimed under those states’

law: 

Minnesota and New Mexico (51 FR 

21046, June 10, 2986) 

Missouri (53 FR 23716, June 23, 1988) 

Texas, (54 FR 38584, September 19, 

1989) 

North Dakota, (54 FR 51965, October 17, 

1989) 

Michigan and Tennessee, (55 FR 31938, 

August 6, 1990) 

Arizona, (56 FR 27989, June 18, 1991) 

Iowa, (56 FR 36189–36190, July 31, 

1991) 

California (General Aviation only), 

Connecticut, Ohio, and Virginia (58 

FR 50387, September 27, 1993) 

Louisiana, Massachusetts, and Rhode 

Island (67 FR 68902, November 13, 

2002) 

This notice is to advise interested 

parties that the states of Idaho and Utah 

are now identified as additional states 

from which artisan liens will be 

accepted. 

With the addition of Idaho and Utah, 

the complete list of thirty-five states 

from which artisan liens on aircraft will 

be accepted as of this date is: Alaska, 

Arizona, Arkansas, California (General 

Aviation Only), Connecticut, Florida,

Intent To Prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement and To Conduct 

Scoping Meetings for the Proposed 

Relocation of Runway 11R/29L and 

Associated Development at the Tucson 

International Airport in Tucson, AZ 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent to Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement and to 

conduct scoping meetings. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) is issuing this 

notice to advise the public that an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

will be prepared to assess the potential 

impacts of the proposed relocation of 

Runway 11R/29L and associated 

development at Tucson International 

Airport. To ensure that all significant 

issues related to the proposed action are 

identified, one (1) public scoping 

meeting and one (1) governmental 

agency scoping meeting will be held. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Michelle Simmons, Environmental 

Protection Specialist, Federal Aviation 

Administration, Western-Pacific Region, 

Airports Division, P.O. Box 92007, Los 

Angeles, California 90009–2007. 

Telephone: (310) 725–3614. Any 

scoping comments and suggestions 

regarding the EIS must be submitted to 

the address above and must be received 

no later than 5 p.m. Pacific Standard 

Time, December 15, 2005. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 

will prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) for addressing specific 

improvements at Tucson International 

Airport. The (EIS) will be prepared in 

accordance with the procedures 

described in FAA Order 5050.4A, 

Airport Environmental Handbook, and 

FAA Order 1050.1E, Environment 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures. The 

Tucson Airport Authority, the owner of 

Tucson International Airport proposes 

the following development as identified 

in the 2004 Tucson International 

Airport Master Plan: Relocate Runway 

11R/29L, 450 feet to the southwest, 

creating a centerline to centerline 

separation of 1,156 feet between the 

existing Runway 11L29R and the 

relocated Runway 11R/29L. The length 

of the relocated Runway 11R/29L will 

be 11,000 feet long by 150 feet wide. 

The development will also include the 

extension of existing Taxiways A–6 and 

A–17, and provisions for acute angled 

‘‘high speed’’ exits at Taxiways A–11, 

A–13, and A–15; addition of new 

Taxiways A–16 and A–18; extension of 

Taxiway B, (which is currently marked 

as 11R/29L); relocation of the airport 

service road to accommodate the 

proposed runway relocation; and 

installation of an Instrument Landing 

System (ILS) in conjunction with the 

relocated runway, including a Medium 

Intensity Approach Lighting System 

with Runway Alignment Indicator 

Lights (MALSR) in both directions. The 

Airport Master Plan Update identified 

the need to provide additional airfield 

capacity at the Airport to meet the 

projected levels of operational and 

passenger demand. Within the EIS, FAA 

proposed to consider a range of 

alternatives that could potentially meet 

the need for additional airport capacity 

in the Tucson metropolitan area 

including, but not limited to, the 

following: 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 197 / Thursday, October 13, 2005 / Notices 59801 

Alternative One—Sponsor’s Proposed 

Action: Relocate Runway 11R/29L, 450 

feet to the southwest, creating a 

centerline separation of 1,156 feet 

between the existing Runway 11L/29R 

and the relocated Runway 11R/29L. The 

relocated Runway 11R/29L will be 

11,000 feet long by 150 feet wide. The 

relocation of Runway 11R/29L will 

include construction of a parallel and 

connecting taxiway system, and 

associated navigational aids. 

Alternative Two—Alternative Airfield 

Development at Tucson: Extending and 

upgrading the current general aviation 

Runway 11R/29L to an air carrier 

runway, maintaining a 700-foot 

centerline separation between the 

current air carrier Runway 11L/29R and 

the extended and upgraded runway 

11R/29L, and 

Alternative 3—Relocating and 

upgrading the general aviation Runway 

11R/29L, to an air carrier runway, 2,500 

feet south of Runway 11L/29R and 

converting the current runway 11R/29L 

to a parallel taxiway that would serve 

both runways, and 

Alternative 4—Relocating and 

upgrading the general aviation Runway 

11R/29L to an air carrier runway, 1,156 

feet south of Runway 11L/29R, and 

converting the runway to a parallel 

taxiway that would serve both runways. 

This alternative incorporates a localizer 

directional aide (LDA) approach. 

These airfield development 

alternatives identified under Alternative 

2, 3 and four would likely include 

several of the support features of 

Alternative One, including taxiway 

improvements and associated 

navigational aids. The specific details of 

the alternative airfield development at 

Tucson International Airport will be 

refined following the scoping process 

during the preparation of the EIS. 

Alternative Five—Use of Other 

Existing Airports: The possible use of 

other existing area airports including, 

but not limited to, Ryan Airfield and 

Marana Regional Airport will be 

evaluated. 

Alternative Six—Use of Other Modes 

of Transportation: Use of intercity bus 

line, rail, and automobile transportation 

will be evaluated. 

Alternative Seven—No Action 

Alternative: Under this alternative, the 

existing airport would remain 

unchanged. Runway 11R/29L would 

remain in its current configuration. 

Comments and suggestions are invited 

from Federal, State and local agencies, 

and other interested parties to ensure 

that the full range of issues related to 

these proposed projects are addressed 

and all significant issues are identified. 

Written comments and suggestions may 

be mailed to the FAA informational 

contact listed above and must be 

received no later than 5:00 p.m. Pacific 

Standard Time, December 15, 2005. 

Scoping Meetings: The FAA will hold 

one (1) public and one (1) governmental 

agency scoping meeting to solicit input 

from the public and various Federal, 

State and local agencies having 

jurisdiction or having specific expertise 

with respect to any environmental 

impacts associated with the proposed 

projects. The public scoping meeting 

will be held on Tuesday, November 15, 

2005, in the Tucson Airport Authority 

Boardroom at 7005 South Plumer 

Avenue, Tucson, Arizona 85706. The 

meeting will be held from 4 p.m. to 7 

p.m. Mountain Standard Time (MST). A 

scoping meeting will be held 

specifically for governmental agencies 

on the same day at the same location 

from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. MST.

[Proposed Policy Statement No. ANE–200X–

33.3–X] 

Policy for Repair and Alteration of 

Rotating Turbine Engine Life Limited 

Parts 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of availability for 

proposed policy statement; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) announces the 

availability of proposed policy for the 

repair and alteration of rotating turbine 

engine-life limited parts (RTE–LLPs). 

This proposed policy establishes that 

the FAA will treat all repairs and 

alterations of RTE–LLPs as major repairs 

and major alterations. We are also 

proposing that all RTE–LLP repair and 

alteration data must include a 

methodology to assess the life of the 

repaired or altered part and the 

continued operational safety of the 

repaired product. This proposed policy 

provides guidance for: (1) Technical 

substantiation for repair or alteration of 

RTE–LLPs; and (2) Aircraft Certification 

Offices (ACOs) and Designated 

Engineering Representatives to evaluate 

and approve repair and alteration data. 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

November 14, 2005. 

ADDRESSES: Send all comments on the 

proposed policy to the individual 

identified under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT.

karen.m.grant@faa.gov; telephone (781) 

238–7119; fax: (781) 238–7199. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited: The proposed 

policy is available on the Internet at the 

following address: http://www.faa.gov/ 

aircraft/draft_docs/. If you do not have 

access to the Internet, you may request 

a copy by contacting the individual 

listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT. The FAA invites interested 

parties to comment on the proposed 

policy. Comments should identify the 

subject of the proposed policy and be 

submitted to the individual identified 

under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT. The FAA will consider all 

comments received by the closing date 

before issuing the final policy. 

We will file in the docket all 

comments received, as well as a report 

summarizing each substantive public 

contact with FAA personnel concerning 

this proposed policy. The docket is 

available for public inspection before 

and after the comment date. If you wish 

to review the docket in person, go to the 

above address between 9 a.m. and 5 

p.m., Monday through Friday, except 

Federal holidays. 

Background: During the past year, we 

reviewed the technical data for 

numerous RTE–LLP repairs. We 

observed deficiencies in the data for 

many of these repairs. We also noted 

that may repairs were improperly 

assessed as minor and were not properly 

coordinated with the appropriate ACOs. 

This proposed policy would provide 

guidance on the coordination and the 

technical data needed for RTE–LLP 

repairs and alterations.
