Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 94 / Monday, May 18, 2009 / Proposed Rules 23133 

This AD requires initial and repetitive 

visual inspections of propeller blade root 

outer sleeves for cracks, and removal before 

further flight of propeller blades with cracked 

blade root outer sleeves. We are issuing this 

AD to prevent blade counterweight release, 

which could result in injury or damage to the 

airplane. 

Actions and Compliance 

(e) Unless already done, do the following 

actions. 

Propeller Blade Root Outer Sleeve Visual 

Inspections 

(1) At the next 1,600 flight hours (FH) 

aircraft check after the effective date of this 

AD, or, after any blade accumulates 15,000 

FH time-in-service, whichever occurs later, 

visually inspect all propeller blade root outer 

sleeves for cracks. 

(2) Thereafter, at intervals not to exceed 

1,600 FH, visually inspect all propeller blade 

root outer sleeves for cracks. 

(3) Before further flight, remove any 

propeller blades found with cracked root 

outer sleeves during the visual inspections in 

paragraphs (e)(1) and (e)(2) of this AD. 

FAA AD Differences 

(f) None. 

Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(g) The Manager, Boston Aircraft 

Certification Office, FAA, Engine and 

Propeller Directorate, has the authority to 

approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested

19 CFR Part 101 

[Docket No. USCBP–2008–0047] 

Extension of Port Limits of Columbus, 

OH 

AGENCY: Customs and Border Protection, 

DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: This notice of proposed 

rulemaking proposes to extend the 

geographical limits of the port of 

Columbus, Ohio, to include the 

Rickenbacker Intermodal Terminal and 

additional territory that likely will be 

needed for supporting infrastructure so 

that it will be within the newly defined 

port limits. The proposed change would 

make the boundaries more easily 

identifiable to the public. The proposed 

change is part of CBP’s continuing 

program to more efficiently utilize its 

personnel, facilities, and resources, and 

to provide better service to carriers, 

importers, and the general public. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before July 17, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Public Participation 

Interested persons are invited to 

participate in this rulemaking by 

submitting written data, views, or 

arguments on all aspects of the notice of 

proposed rulemaking. DHS also invites 

comments that relate to the economic, 

environmental, or federalism effects that 

might result from this proposal. 

Comments that will provide the most 

assistance to the Department in 

developing these procedures will 

reference a specific portion of the 

proposal, explain the reason for any 

recommended change, and include data, 

information, or authority that support 

such recommended change. 

II. Background 

As part of its continuing efforts to 

provide better service to carriers, 

importers, and the general public, CBP 

is proposing to extend the port 

boundaries for the port of entry at 

Columbus, Ohio. 

The Columbus Regional Airport 

Authority has partnered with the 

Norfolk Southern Corporation to create 

an intermodal facility immediately 

adjacent to Rickenbacker International 

Airport. The creation of the new 

Rickenbacker Intermodal Terminal is an 

important part of the Columbus 

Regional Airport Authority’s plan to 

address a capacity problem at current 

facilities in the area. The terminal is 

located to the south of the current port 

boundaries. In order to accommodate 

the new facility and the necessary 

additional territory for supporting 

infrastructure so that it falls within the 

newly defined port limits, CBP is 

proposing to amend the port limits of 

the port of Columbus, Ohio. This 

proposed change will make the port 

boundaries more easily identifiable to 

the public. CBP has determined that this 

proposed change will result in better 

service that is provided to the public by 

the port by addressing a capacity 

problem at current facilities in the area. 

The proposed change will not require a 

change in the staffing or workload at the 

port.

23134 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 94 / Monday, May 18, 2009 / Proposed Rules 

III. Current Port Limits of Columbus, 

Ohio 

The current port limits of Columbus, 

Ohio, are contained in two separate 

Treasury Decisions: 82–9 and 96–67. 

Treasury Decision (T.D.) 82–9, 

published in the Federal Register (47 

FR 1286) on January 12, 1982, specified 

the limits as follows: 

The geographical boundaries of the 

Columbus, Ohio, Customs port of entry 

include all of the territory within the 

corporate limits of Columbus, Ohio; all of the 

territory completely surrounded by the city 

of Columbus; and, all of the territory 

enclosed by Interstate Highway 270 (outer 

belt), which completely surrounds the city. 

T.D. 96–67, published in the Federal 

Register (61 FR 49058) on September 

18, 1996, expanded the port limits of 

Columbus, Ohio, to encompass the port 

limits set forth in T.D. 82–9 as well as 

the following territory: 

Beginning at the intersection of Rohr and 

Lockbourne Roads, then proceeding 

southerly along Lockbourne Road to 

Commerce Street, thence easterly along 

Commerce Street to its intersection with the 

N & W railroad tracks, then southerly along 

the N & W railroad tracks to the FranklinPickaway County line, thence easterly along 

the Franklin-Pickaway County line to its 

intersection with Pontius Road, then 

northerly along Pontius Road to its 

intersection with Rohr Road, thence westerly 

along Rohr Road to its intersection with 

Lockbourne Road, the point of beginning, all 

within the County of Franklin, State of Ohio. 

IV. Proposed Port Limits of Columbus, 

Ohio 

The new port limits of Columbus, 

Ohio, are proposed as follows: 

The geographic boundaries of the 

Columbus, Ohio, port of entry include all of 

Franklin County, and that part of Pickaway 

County east of U.S. Route 23 and north of 

State Route 752, all in the State of Ohio. 

V. Proposed Amendment to the 

Regulations 

If the proposed port limits are 

adopted, CBP will amend the list of CBP 

ports of entry at 19 CFR 101.3(b)(1), to 

reflect the new description of the limits 

of the Columbus, Ohio, port of entry. 

V. Authority 

This change is proposed under the 

authority of 5 U.S.C. 301 and 19 U.S.C. 

2, 66 and 1624, and the Homeland 

Security Act of 2002, Public Law 107– 

296 (November 25, 2002). 

VI. Signing Authority 

The signing authority for this 

document falls under 19 CFR 0.2(a) 

because this port extension is not within 

the bounds of those regulations for 

which the Secretary of the Treasury has 

retained sole authority. Accordingly, the 

notice of proposed rulemaking may be 

signed by the Secretary of Homeland 

Security (or his or her delegate). 

VII. Statutory and Regulatory Reviews. 

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory 

Planning and Review 

This proposed rule is not considered 

to be an economically significant 

regulatory action under Executive Order 

12866 because it will not result in the 

expenditure of over $100 million in any 

one year. The proposed change is 

intended to expand the geographical 

boundaries of the Port of Columbus, 

Ohio, and make it more easily 

identifiable to the public. There are no 

new costs to the public associated with 

this rule. Accordingly, this proposed 

rule has not been reviewed by the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) 

under Executive Order 12866. 

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.) requires federal 

agencies to examine the impact a rule 

would have on small entities. A small 

entity may be a small business (defined 

as any independently owned and 

operated business not dominant in its 

field that qualifies as a small business 

per the Small Business Act), a small notfor-profit organization, or a small 

governmental jurisdiction (locality with 

fewer than 50,000 people). 

This proposed rule does not directly 

regulate small entities. The proposed 

change is part of CBP’s continuing 

program to more efficiently utilize its 

personnel, facilities, and resources, and 

to provide better service to carriers, 

importers, and the general public. To 

the extent that all entities are able to 

more efficiently or conveniently access 

the facilities and resources within the 

proposed expanded geographical area of 

the new port limits, this proposed rule, 

if finalized, should confer benefits to 

CBP, carriers, importers, and the general 

public. 

Because this rule does not directly 

regulate small entities, we do not 

believe that this rule has a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. However, we 

welcome comments on that assumption. 

The most helpful comments are those 

that can give us specific information or 

examples of a direct impact on small 

entities. If we do not receive comments 

that demonstrate that the rule causes 

small entities to incur direct costs, we 

may certify that this action does not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities 

during the final rule. 

Dated: May 12, 2009. 

Janet Napolitano, 

Secretary.
