Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 220 / Thursday, November 15, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 64145 

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

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

■ 2. The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) amends § 39.13 

by adding the following new 

airworthiness directive (AD): 

2007–23–10 Boeing: Amendment 39–15256. 

Docket No. FAA–2007–27740; 

Directorate Identifier 2006–NM–290–AD. 

Effective Date 

(a) This AD becomes effective December 

20, 2007. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to Boeing Model 737–

600, –700, –700C, –800 and –900 series 

airplanes; certificated in any category; as 

identified in Boeing Special Attention 

Service Bulletin 737–24–1169, Revision 1, 

dated August 6, 2007. 

Unsafe Condition 

(d) This AD results from reports of inproduction airplanes with missing or 

insufficient fillet sealant around the 

receptacles installed in the wheel wells of the 

main landing gear (MLG). We are issuing this 

AD to prevent corrosion damage due to 

missing or insufficient fillet sealant. Such 

corrosion could result in insufficient 

electrical bonding between the connectors 

and the disconnect bracket, and consequent 

loss of the shielding that protects the wire 

bundles from lightning, electromagnetic 

interference (EMI), and high intensity 

radiated field (HIRF). Loss of lightning, EMI, 

and HIRF protection at those receptacles 

could cause failure of multiple electrical 

systems and subsequent loss of several 

critical control systems that are necessary for 

safe flight. In addition, a lightning strike 

could cause arcing in the fuel tank; this 

potential ignition source, in combination 

with flammable fuel vapors, could result in 

a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of 

the airplane. 

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. 

Inspection 

(f) Within 24 months after the effective 

date of this AD, perform a detailed inspection 

to determine if there is sufficient fillet sealant 

at the inboard and outboard sides of the 

receptacles in the MLG wheel wells, in 

accordance with the Accomplishment 

Instructions of Boeing Special Attention 

Service Bulletin 737–24–1169, Revision 1, 

dated August 6, 2007. Do all applicable 

related investigative and corrective actions 

before further flight in accordance with the 

service bulletin. 

(g) Accomplishment of an inspection and 

applicable related investigative and 

corrective actions done before the effective 

date of this AD in accordance with Boeing 

Special Attention Service Bulletin 737–24–

1169, dated December 15, 2006, is considered 

acceptable for compliance with the 

corresponding requirements of paragraph (f) 

of this AD. 

Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(h)(1) The Manager, Seattle Aircraft 

Certification Office (ACO), FAA, has the 

authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if 

requested in accordance with the procedures 

found in 14 CFR 39.19. 

(2) To request a different method of 

compliance or a different compliance time 

for this AD, follow the procedures in 14 CFR 

39.19. Before using any approved AMOC on 

any airplane to which the AMOC applies, 

notify your appropriate principal inspector 

(PI) in the FAA Flight Standards District 

Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local 

FSDO. 

Material Incorporated by Reference 

(i) You must use Boeing Special Attention 

Service Bulletin 737–24–1169, Revision 1, 

dated August 6, 2007, to perform the actions 

that are required by this AD, unless the AD 

specifies otherwise. The Director of the 

Federal Register approved the incorporation 

by reference of this document in accordance 

with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On June 27, 2007, the FAA proposed 

to amend Title 14 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by 

amending Class E5 airspace at 

Mooresville, NC, (72 FR 35209). This 

action provides adequate Class E5 

airspace for IFR operations at Lowe’s 

Mooresville Heliport, Mooresville, NC. 

Designations for Class E are published 

in FAA Order 7400.9R, dated August 15, 

2007, and effective September 15, 2007, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Class E designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking 

proceeding by submitting written 

comments on the proposal to the FAA. 

No comments objecting to the proposal 

were received. 

The Rule 

This amendment to part 71 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR 

part 71) amends the Class E5 airspace at 

Mooresville, NC. 

The FAA has determined that this 

rule 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 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with RULES
64146 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 220 / Thursday, November 15, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 

promulgated, will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

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 establishes additional Class E airspace 

at Mooresville, NC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On August 21, 2007, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking to amend 

Class E airspace at Helena, MT (72 FR 

46584). This action would improve the 

safety of IFR aircraft executing this new 

LOC/BC–C SIAP approach procedure at 

Helena Regional Airport, Helena, MT. 

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 E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.9R signed August 15, 2007, 

and effective September 15, 2007, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

part 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in that 

Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

establishing Class E airspace at Helena, 

MT. Additional controlled airspace is 

necessary to accommodate IFR aircraft 

executing a new LOC/BC–C SIAP 

approach procedure at Helena Regional 

Airport, Helena, MT 

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. Therefore, this regulation: (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 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 establishes 

additional controlled airspace at Helena
