Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 204 / Friday, October 23, 2009 / Proposed Rules 54763 

• Electrical system in the lavatory 

initiating a fire in the cargo 

compartment, and 

• Oxygen-supply system in the 

lavatory fueling a fire in the cargo 

compartment. 

The existing airworthiness regulations 

do not adequately or appropriately 

address safety standards for these design 

features. These proposed special 

conditions for the C–27J contain the 

additional safety standards that the 

Administrator considers necessary to 

establish a level of safety equivalent to 

that established by the existing 

airworthiness standards. 

Discussion 

Specific regulations governing Class E 

cargo compartments: 

(a) Section 25.855, the materialstandards and design considerations for 

cargo-compartment interiors; the 

statement that each cargo compartment 

must meet one of the Class requirements 

of § 25.857; and the flight testing which 

must be conducted for certification. 

(b) Section 25.857, the standards for 

the various classes of transport-category 

airplane-cargo compartments. 

(c) Section 25.858, design and 

certification requirements for cargo- or 

baggage-compartment fire or smokedetection systems, and a standard that 

fire be detected and indicated to the 

crew less than one minute after 

inception. 

Specific regulations governing 

lavatory installations, regardless of 

location: 

(d) Section 25.783, requirements to 

preclude anyone from becoming trapped 

inside the lavatory. 

(e) Section 25.791, lavatory placarding 

requirements. 

(f) Section 25.853, interior materialtest standards, smoking-prohibition 

requirements, ashtray requirements, and 

waste-receptacle design-and-material 

standards. 

(g) Section 25.854, lavatory smokedetector and fire-extinguisher 

requirements. 

In developing the airworthiness 

requirements for cargo compartments, 

the FAA did not envision that a lavatory 

would be installed in a Class E cargo 

compartment. Therefore, special 

conditions must be established to 

provide a means to control the 

possibility of the: 

• Electrical system in the lavatory 

initiating a fire in the cargo 

compartment, and 

• Oxygen-supply system in the 

lavatory fueling a fire in the cargo 

compartment. 

Applicability 

As discussed above, these proposed 

special conditions are applicable to the 

C–27J. Should Alenia apply at a later 

date for a change to the type certificate 

to include another model incorporating 

the same or similar novel or unusual 

design features, these proposed special 

conditions apply to that model as well 

under § 21.101. 

Conclusion 

This action affects only certain novel 

or unusual design features of the Alenia 

C–27J. It is not a rule of general 

applicability, and it affects only the 

applicant that applied to the FAA for 

approval of these features on the 

airplane.

The Proposed Special Conditions 

Accordingly, the Administrator of the 

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 

proposes the following special 

conditions as part of the typecertification basis for the C–27J. 

1. Control of electrical power to the 

lavatory located in the Class E cargo 

compartment: 

A means must be provided to shut off 

electrical power to the lavatory should 

smoke or fire be detected anywhere in 

the Class E cargo compartment, 

including in the lavatory. Two types of 

shut-off systems meet this requirement: 

• A manual system, with an airplaneflight-manual (AFM) procedure to 

instruct the flight crew on where and 

how to shut off the power, or 

• An automatic system that shuts off 

power to the lavatory following a 

lavatory or cargo-compartment smokedetector alarm. 

2. Control of the oxygen-deliverysystem flow to the lavatory and cargo 

compartment: 

A means must be provided to shut off 

oxygen flow to the lavatory should 

smoke or fire be detected anywhere in 

the Class E cargo compartment, 

including in the lavatory. Two types of 

shut-off systems meet this requirement: 

• A manual system, with an AFM 

procedure to instruct the flight crew on 

where and how to shut off the oxygen 

flow, or 

• An automatic system that shuts off 

oxygen flow to the lavatory following a 

lavatory or cargo-compartment smokedetector alarm.

11–2A, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

Distribution System, which describes 

the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish 

Class D and E airspace and modify 

existing Class E airspace at State 

College, PA. Class D airspace and Class 

E airspace designated as an extension to 

a Class D surface area will be 

established as required by law to 

support the operation of the new air 

traffic control tower. During the airspace 

evaluation it was determined that the 

existing Class E airspace (E2), 

designated as a surface area for the 

airport, required minor modifications. 

This proposed rule also imparts a minor 

update to the geographical coordinates 

of the University Park Airport. 

Class D airspace designations, Class E 

surface airspace designations (E2) and 

Class E airspace designations as 

extensions to a Class D surface area (E4) 

are published in Paragraphs 5000, 6002 

and 6004, respectively, of FAA Order 

7400.9T, signed August 27, 2009, and 

effective September 15, 2009, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D and 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 

proposed rule, when promulgated, 

would 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 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 airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This proposed regulation is 

within the scope of that authority as it 

proposes to establish Class D and E 

airspace and modify existing Class E 

airspace at State College, PA.

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 to eliminate the 

segment of J–20 that extends between 

the Orlando VORTAC and the Virginia 

Key VOR/DME. The FAA has 

determined that this portion of J–20 is 

no longer required. Currently, J–20 

parallels jet route J–53, between the 

Miami area and DEARY intersection 

(southeast of the Orlando VORTAC). At 

DEARY, J–20 makes a left turn to the 

Orlando VORTAC where it converges 

with J–53. This can cause a problem 

when aircraft are parallel on both J–20 

and J–53. Jet route J–113 provides a 

suitable northbound replacement route 

for the J–20 segment. In addition, this 

change would provide air traffic control 

with more time to get climbing aircraft 

to their requested altitudes, thereby 

enhancing system efficiency. 

Jet routes are published in paragraph 

2004 of FAA Order 7400.9T dated 

August 27, 2009 and effective 

September 15, 2009, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The jet route listed in this 

document would be subsequently 

published in the Order.
