Unsafe Condition 

(d) This AD results from eight reports of 

GE90–115B stage 6 LPT single-blade

and damage to 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. 

Inspections 

(f) Before accumulating 3,000 engine 

operating hours time-since-new, or 400 

engine cycles-since-new, whichever occurs 

first, inspect the stage 6 LPT blades, P/N 

1765M37P03 or P/N 1765M37P04 for shroud 

interlock wear. Thereafter, reinspect within 

every 1,000 engine operating hours, or within 

125 engine cycles-since-last inspection, 

whichever occurs first. Use paragraphs 3.A. 

through 3.A.(3)(g)(12) of the Accomplishment 

Instructions of GE Service Bulletin (SB) No. 

GE90–100 SB 72–0260, Revision 6, dated 

May 1, 2009, to do the inspections. 

Terminating Action 

(g) At the next engine shop visit, replace 

stage 6 LPT blades, P/N 1765M37P03 or 

P/N 1765M37P04, with stage 6 LPT blades 

eligible for installation as terminating action 

to the repetitive inspections required by this 

AD. 

Installation Prohibition of Affected Stage 6 

LPT Blades 

(h) After the effective date of this AD, do 

not install any stage 6 LPT blades, P/N 

1765M37P03 or P/N 1765M37P04, onto any 

engine. 

Previous Credit 

(i) An inspection performed before the 

effective date of this AD using GE SB No. 

GE90–100 SB 72–0260, Revision 4, dated 

October 8, 2008, or Revision 5, dated 

November 7, 2008, satisfies the initial 

inspection requirement of this AD. 

Definition 

(j) For the purpose of this AD, an engine 

shop visit is induction of the engine into the 

shop for any cause. 

Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(k) The Manager, Engine Certification 

Office, has the authority to approve 

alternative methods of compliance for this 

AD if requested using the procedures found

(202) 267–8783. Communications must

11–2A, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

Distribution System, which describes 

the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

This action proposes to amend Title 

14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 

CFR), part 71 by establishing Class D 

airspace from the surface up to but not 

including 2,000 feet MSL for IFR 

operations at Arlington Municipal 

Airport, Arlington, TX. The area would 

be depicted on appropriate aeronautical 

charts. 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 120 / Wednesday, June 24, 2009 / Proposed Rules 30023 

Class D airspace areas are published 

in Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 

7400.9S, dated October 3, 2008, and 

effective October 31, 2008, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D airspace designation 

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. The FAA’s authority to 

issue rules regarding aviation safety is 

found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. 

Subtitle 1, 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 would 

establish controlled airspace at 

Arlington Municipal Airport, Arlington, 

TX. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71 

Airspace, Incorporation by reference, 

Navigation (Air). 

The Proposed Amendment 

In consideration of the foregoing, the 

Federal Aviation Administration 

proposes to amend 14 CFR Part 71 as 

follows: 

PART 71—DESIGNATION OF CLASS A, 

B, C, D, AND E AIRSPACE AREAS; 

AIRWAYS; ROUTES; AND REPORTING 

POINTS 

1. The authority citation for Part 71 

continues to read as follows:

40120; E.O. 10854, 24 FR 9565, 3 CFR, 1959– 

1963 Comp., p. 389. 

§ 71.1 [Amended] 

2. The incorporation by reference in 

14 CFR 71.1 of Federal Aviation 

Administration Order 7400.9S, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated October 3, 2008, and effective 

October 31, 2008, is amended as

surface, to but not including 2,000 feet MSL 

within a 4-mile radius of Arlington 

Municipal Airport, excluding the portion east 

of a line between lat. 32°43′48′′ N.; long.
