Adoption of the Amendment

Accordingly, pursuant to the

authority delegated to me by the

Administrator, the Federal Aviation

Administration amends part 39 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 39) as follows:

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS

DIRECTIVES

1. The authority citation for part 39

continues to read as follows:

Authority: 49 U.S.C. App. 1354(a), 1421

and 1423; 49 U.S.C. 106(g); and 14 CFR

11.89.

§ 39.13 [Amended]

2. Section 39.13 is amended by

adding a new airworthiness directive to

read as follows:

95–02–17 Beech Aircraft Corporation:

Amendment 39–9184; Docket No. 95–

CE–15–AD.

Applicability: Model 1900D airplanes,

serial numbers UE–1 through UE–131,

certificated in any category.

Note 1: This AD applies to each airplane

identified in the preceding applicability

provision, regardless of whether it has been

modified, altered, or repaired in the area

subject to the requirements of this AD. For

airplanes that have been modified, altered, or

repaired so that the performance of the

requirements of this AD is affected, the

owner/operator must use the authority

provided in paragraph (c) of this AD to

request approval from the FAA. This

approval may address either no action, if the

current configuration eliminates the unsafe

condition, or different actions necessary to

address the unsafe condition described in

this AD. Such a request should include an

assessment of the effect of the changed

configuration on the unsafe condition

addressed by this AD. In no case does the

presence of any modification, alteration, or

repair remove any aircraft from the

applicability of this AD.

Compliance: Required prior to further

flight after the effective date of this AD,

unless already accomplished.

To prevent in-flight separation of the

elevator trim tab control cable, which could

lead to loss of control of the airplane,

accomplish the following:

(a) In accordance with Beech 1900D

Maintenance Manual, part number 129–

590000–15A11, Chapters 5–20–07, page 203;

6–40–00, page 3; 6–50–00, page 16; and 27–

30–04, pages 202 and 203:

(1) Remove access panel Number 333ATC,

which is located on the top surface of the

horizontal stabilizer, to gain access to the

elevator trim tab cable, guides, and pulleys;

(2) Inspect the cable routing to ensure that

cables (at the left, right, and crossover

pulleys) are correctly routed around the

pulleys, within the cable guide pins, and are

not contacting any structure; and

(3) Replace any cable that is incorrectly

routed (cable that does not meet the criteria

above in paragraph (a)(2) of this AD) or is

chafed.

Note 2: The procedures listed in Beech

Communique 1900D–112, dated January

1995, ‘‘Inspection of Elevator Trim Tab

Control Cables’’, are similar to those included

in this priority letter AD. Complying with all

procedures in Beech Communique 1900D–

112 is considered equivalent to the

requirements of paragraphs (a)(1), (a)(2), and

(a)(3) of this AD, and is considered ‘‘unless

already accomplished’’ for this portion of the

AD.

Note 3: The compliance time specified in

this AD takes precedence over that specified

in Beech Communique 1900D–112, dated

January 1995, ‘‘Inspection of Elevator Trim

Tab Control Cables’’.

(b) Special flight permits may be issued in

accordance with sections 21.197 and 21.199

of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

21.197 and 21.199) to operate the airplane to

a location where the requirements of this AD

can be accomplished.

(c) An alternative method of compliance or

adjustment of the compliance time that

provides an equivalent level of safety may be

approved by the Manager, Wichita Aircraft

Certification Office (ACO), FAA, 1801

Airport Road, Mid-Continent Airport,

Wichita, Kansas 67209. The request shall be

forwarded through an appropriate FAA

Maintenance Inspector, who may add

comments and then send it to the Manager,

Wichita ACO.

Note 4: Information concerning the

existence of approved alternative methods of

compliance with this AD, if any, may be

obtained from the Wichita ACO.

(d) Information that relates to this AD may

be examined at the FAA, Central Region,

Office of the Assistant Chief Counsel, Room

1558, 601 E. 12th Street, Kansas City,

Missouri 64106.

(e) This amendment (39–9184) becomes

effective on April 17, 1995, to all persons

except those persons to whom it was made

immediately effective by priority letter AD

95–02–17, issued January 25, 1995, which

contained the requirements of this

amendment.

Issued in Kansas City, Missouri, on March

24, 1995.

Establishment and Alteration of Jet

Routes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY: This action corrects an error

to the final rule published in the

Federal Register on February 7, 1995,

which modified the airspace

designation for Jet Route J–20, Airspace

Docket No. 94–ASO–17. This action is

necessary to revise a segment of the

route to reflect ‘‘Falcon, CO; Hugo, CO’’

in lieu of the Denver, CO, Very High

Frequency Omnidirectional Range,

which no longer exists.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 30, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

February 7, 1995 the FAA published a

final rule to modify several existing jet

routes in the Miami, FL, area (60 FR

7116) with an effective date of March

30, 1995. The airspace designation for

Jet Route J–20 was modified in the State

of Florida to support the commissioning

of the Virginia Key, Very High

Frequency Omnidirectional Range and

Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/

DME). However, in the interim, a

clarification of the current airspace

designation for Jet Route J–20 was

published in the Federal Register on

February 10, 1995, Airspace Docket No.

95–ANM–7 (60 FR 8166) with an

effective date of February 28, 1995, due

to the opening of the new Denver

International Airport. This action

corrects that segment of the jet route’s

designation, which should be revised to

reflect ‘‘Falcon, CO; Hugo, CO;’’ in lieu

of ‘‘Denver, CO; Kiowa, CO;’’.

Correction of Final Rule

Accordingly, pursuant to the

authority delegated to me, the

publication in the Federal Register on

February 7, 1995 (60 FR 7116; Federal

Register Document 95–2737) is

corrected by substituting the

designation for Jet Route J–20 with the

RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD

20 CFR Parts 228 and 237

RIN: 3220–AA59

Computation of Survivor Annuities

AGENCY: Railroad Retirement Board.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Railroad Retirement

Board amends its regulations by adding

a new part dealing with the

computation of survivor annuities as

provided in the Railroad Retirement Act

of 1974 (Act). This part replaces part

237 of the Board’s regulations, which is

removed. The Board’s previous

regulations regarding the computation

of survivor annuities were promulgated

under the Railroad Retirement Act of

1937 and no longer reflect the

computational provisions contained in

the Act.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 30, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Secretary to the Board,

Railroad Retirement Board, 844 North

Rush Street, Chicago, Illinois 60611.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Thomas W. Sadler, Assistant General

Counsel, Railroad Retirement Board,

844 North Rush Street, Chicago, Illinois

60611, telephone 312–751–4513, (FTS

312–386–4513), TTD 312–751–4701,

TTD (FTS 312–386–4701).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

regulation provides the rules for

computing the amount of a survivor

annuity under the Railroad Retirement

Act of 1974. In general, the annuity

consists of two components or tiers. The

first tier (tier I) is a social security level

benefit that is generally computed under

social security rules based on the

employee’s earnings under both the

railroad retirement and the social

security systems. The second tier (tier II)

is based solely on the employee’s

railroad earnings and is a set percentage

of the employee’s tier II annuity

component.

The rule is divided into three

subparts, A–C:

Subpart A is an introduction to the

part. It provides a listing of other

relevant regulations, part 225, Primary

Insurance Amount Determinations, and

part 216, Eligibility for an Annuity

(§ 228.1) and sets forth a general

explanation of tier I and tier II annuity

components (§ 228.2).

Subpart B sets forth the computation

of the tier I annuity component. Section

228.10 describes the tier I of the

widow(er)’s annuity; § 228.11, the tier I

of widow(er) with a child in care;

§ 228.12, the tier I of child’s annuity;

and § 228.13, the tier I of a parent’s

annuity.

Section 228.14 describes when and

how the tier I annuity component is

reduced for the family maximum, which

is a provision in the Social Security Act

that limits the total monthly benefits to

which beneficiaries may be entitled.

Section 228.15 describes the age

reduction applicable to the tier I annuity

component if the survivor begins to

receive benefits prior to the retirement

age specified in the Social Security Act.

Section 228.16 describes the

adjustment of the age reduction factor

when the widow(er) attains retirement

age.

Section 228.17 describes how the

widow(er)’s annuity is adjusted if the

employee died before he or she reached

age 62.

Section 228.18 describes how the tier

I is reduced due to receipt of a public

pension.

Section 228.19 describes how the tier

I component is reduced due to receipt

of a social security benefit.

Sections 228.20–228.22 describe the

reduction in a survivor annuity due to

receipt of other types of railroad

retirement annuities.

Section 228.23 describes the order in

which the above-described reductions

are made. Finally, § 228.40 describes the

cost-of-living increases applicable to the

tier I annuity component.

Subpart C describes the computation

of the tier II annuity component. Section

228.50 describes the tier II annuity

component for various types of survivor

annuitants. It also describes the age

reduction applicable to the tier II

annuity component.

Section 228.51 describes the

reduction to the tier II annuity

component known as the takeback

amount which was imposed by the 1983

amendments to the Railroad Retirement

Act.

Section 228.52 describes the increase

in the tier II annuity component when

a widow(er) is entitled to a railroad

retirement annuity which caused a

reduction in the widow(er)’s tier I

annuity component.

Section 228.53 describes the increase

in the tier II annuity component to

insure that a widow(er)’s annuity is no

less than the spouse annuity the

widow(er) was receiving before the

employee died.

Finally, § 228.60 describes the cost-ofliving increase applicable to the tier II

annuity component.

The Board published this rule in

proposed form on September 30, 1993

(58 FR 51024) inviting comment by

November 1, 1993; no comments were

received.

The Board, with the concurrence of

the Office of Management and Budget,

has determined that this is not a

significant regulatory action under

Executive Order 12866; therefore, no

regulatory impact analysis is required.

There are no information collections

associated with this rule.
