The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 

39 as follows: 

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new airworthiness 

directive (AD): 

Airbus: Docket No. FAA–2005–22919; 

Directorate Identifier 2005–NM–087–AD. 

Comments Due Date 

(a) The Federal Aviation Administration 

must receive comments on this AD action by 

December 12, 2005. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to Airbus Model A319–

111, –112, –113, –114, –115, –131, –132, and 

–133 airplanes; Model A320–211, –212, –214,

A321–111, –112, and –131 airplanes; and 

Model A321–211 and –231 airplanes; 

certificated in any category; equipped with 

the lavatories in Table 1 of this AD, onto 

which at least one cabin attendant seat (CAS)

TABLE 1.—LAVATORY INSTALLATIONS

AFFECTED BY THIS AD 

Lavatory— Installed by Airbus 

modification—

Type A DASELL ............. 23125 

Type D DASELL ............. 22815 

Type E DASELL ............. 22819 

Type F DASELL ............. 23695 

Unsafe Condition 

(d) This AD results from reports of 

corrosion in the lower part of the lavatory 

walls due to water ingress. We are issuing 

this AD to detect and correct corrosion and 

damage on the lower part of the lavatory 

walls, which could compromise the 

structural integrity of the CAS attachments, 

and cause injury to the cabin attendants 

during a crash landing. 

Compliance 

(e) You are responsible for having the 

actions required by this AD performed within 

the compliance times specified, unless the 

actions have already been done. 

Service Bulletin Reference 

(f) For the purposes of this AD, unless 

otherwise specified, the term ‘‘service 

bulletin’’ means the Accomplishment 

Instructions of Airbus Service Bulletin A320–

25–1365, dated February 18, 2005. 

Repetitive Inspections and Corrective 

Actions 

(g) Within 2,400 flight hours or 15 months 

after the effective date of this AD, whichever 

occurs earlier: Do a detailed inspection for 

corrosion and damage in the inside and 

outside lower walls of each type A, D, E, and 

F lavatory wall that has at least one wallmounted CAS, and do all applicable related 

investigative and corrective actions if 

necessary, including any supporting nondestructive testing and related investigative 

actions. Do all actions in accordance with the 

procedures and time-frames defined in the 

Accomplishment Instructions of the service 

bulletin. Repeat the inspection at the 

applicable time specified in Figure 1 Sheet 1 

of the service bulletin. 

Note 1: For the purposes of this AD, a 

detailed inspection is: ‘‘An intensive 

examination of a specific item, installation, 

or assembly to detect damage, failure, or 

irregularity. Available lighting is normally 

supplemented with a direct source of good 

lighting at an intensity deemed appropriate. 

Inspection aids such as mirror, magnifying 

lenses, etc., may be necessary. Surface 

cleaning and elaborate procedures may be 

required.’’

Optional Terminating Action 

(h) Doing the permanent repair in 

paragraph (h)(1) or (h)(2) of this AD 

terminates the repetitive inspection 

requirements of this AD. 

(1) Repair the aluminum wall with 

composite material in accordance with the 

lavatory component maintenance manual 

(CMM). 

(2) Replace the aluminum wall with a new 

wall made of composite material in 

accordance with the Accomplishment 

Instructions of the applicable service bulletin 

in paragraph (h)(2)(i), (h)(2)(ii), or (h)(2)(iii) 

of this AD. 

(i) For lavatory A: Airbus Service Bulletin 

A320–25–1289, Revision 01, dated October 

29, 2003. 

(ii) For lavatories D and E: Airbus Service 

Bulletin A320–25–1365, dated February 18, 

2005, which references the lavatory CMM as 

an additional source of service information 

for doing the replacement. 

(iii) For lavatory F: Airbus Service Bulletin 

A320–25–1357, dated July 19, 2004. 

Actions Accomplished in Accordance With 

Previous Issue of a Service Bulletin 

(i) Replacement of the lavatory A wall done 

before the effective date of this AD in 

accordance with Airbus Service Bulletin 

A320–25–1289, dated October 11, 2002, is 

acceptable for compliance with the 

requirements of paragraph (h)(2)(i) of this 

AD. 

Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(j)(1) The Manager, International Branch, 

ANM–116, Transport Airplane Directorate, 

FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs 

for this AD, if requested in accordance with 

the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. 

(2) Before using any AMOC approved in 

accordance with § 39.19 on any airplane to 

which the AMOC applies, notify the 

appropriate principal inspector in the FAA

Office of Rulemaking (202) 267–9677, to

11–2A, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

Distribution System, which describes 

the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

This notice proposes to amend Part 71 

of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 

CFR part 71) by establishing a Class E 

airspace area extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at Hill City 

Municipal Airport, KS. The 

establishment of Area Navigation 

(RNAV) Global Positioning System 

(GPS) Instrument Approach Procedures 

(IAP) to Runways (RWY) 17 and 35 has 

made this action necessary. The 

intended effect of this proposal is to 

provide adequate controlled airspace for 

Instrument Flight Rules operations at 

Hill City Municipal Airport, KS. The 

area would be depicted on appropriate 

aeronautical charts. 

Class E airspace areas extending 

upward from 700 feet or more above the 

surface of the earth are published in 

Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9N, 

dated September 1, 2005, and effective 

September 16, 2005, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The 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. 

This proposed 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 proposed regulation is 

within the scope of that authority since 

it would contain aircraft executing 

instrument approach procedures to Hill 

City Municipal Airport.

The Proposed Amendment 

In consideration of the foregoing, the 

Federal Aviation Administration 

proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as

1963 Comp., p. 389.

2. The incorporation by reference in
