the number of total accumulated flight cycles 

on the airplane. Under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et 

seq.), the Office of Management and Budget

New Requirements of This AD 

Modification 

(m) Except as provided by paragraphs 

(m)(1) and (m)(2) of this AD: At the times 

specified in paragraph 1.E, ‘‘Compliance,’’ of 

Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747–53A2559, 

dated January 8, 2009, modify the frame-totension-tie joints at body stations 1120 

through 1220; do all related investigative and 

applicable corrective actions; do the 

repetitive post-modification detailed 

inspections for cracking of the tension tie and 

frame structure and all applicable corrective 

actions; and do the additional modification. 

Do all actions in accordance with the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert 

Service Bulletin 747–53A2559, dated January 

8, 2009. Modifying the frame-to-tension-tie 

joints at body stations 1120 through 1220 

terminates the repetitive inspection 

requirements of paragraphs (g) and (j) of this 

AD. 

(1) Where paragraph 1.E., ‘‘Compliance,’’ of 

Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747–53A2559, 

dated January 8, 2009, specifies a compliance 

time relative to the original issue date of the 

service bulletin, this AD requires compliance 

within the specified compliance time after 

the effective date of this AD. 

(2) Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 

747–53A2559, dated January 8, 2009, 

specifies to contact Boeing for repair 

instructions or additional modification 

requirements: Before further flight, repair the 

discrepancy or do the modification using a 

method approved in accordance with the 

procedures specified in paragraph (n) of this 

AD. 

Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(n)(1) The Manager, Seattle Aircraft 

Certification Office (ACO), FAA, has the 

authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if 

requested using the procedures found in 14 

CFR 39.19. Send information to ATTN: Ivan 

Li, Aerospace Engineer, Airframe Branch, 

ANM–120S, FAA, Seattle Aircraft 

Certification Office, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., 

Renton, Washington 98057–3356; telephone 

(425) 917–6437; fax (425) 917–6590. Or, 

e-mail information to 9-ANM-Seattle-ACOAMOC-Requests@faa.gov. 

(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 principal maintenance inspector 

(PMI) or principal avionics inspector (PAI), 

as appropriate, or lacking a principal 

inspector, your local Flight Standards District 

Office. The AMOC approval letter must 

specifically reference this AD. 

(3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable 

level of safety may be used for any repair 

required by this AD, if it is approved by an 

Authorized Representative for the Boeing 

Commercial Airplanes Delegation Option 

Authorization Organization who has been 

authorized by the Manager, Seattle ACO, to 

make those findings. For a repair method to 

be approved, the repair must meet the 

certification basis of the airplane and 14 CFR 

25.571, Amendment 45, and the approval 

must specifically refer to this AD. 

(4) AMOCs approved previously in 

accordance with AD 2007–23–18 are 

approved as AMOCs for the corresponding 

requirements of paragraphs (g) and (j) of this 

AD.

Persons interested in being placed on

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking, 

(202) 267–9677, for a copy of Advisory 

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 by establishing Class E 

airspace at Ronan, MT. Controlled 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface is necessary to 

accommodate aircraft using the new 

RNAV (GPS) SIAP at Ronan Airport, 

Ronan, MT. This action would enhance 

the safety and management of aircraft 

operations at the airport. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.9S, signed October 3, 2008, 

and effective October 31, 2008, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in this 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. 

Therefore, this proposed 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 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

Section 106, describes the authority for 

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 the 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 

controlled airspace at Ronan, MT.

Airspace, Incorporation by reference, 

Navigation (air). 

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, pursuant to the 

authority delegated to me, 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; AIR 

TRAFFIC SERVICE ROUTES; AND 

REPORTING POINTS 

1. The authority citation for 14 CFR 

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 the FAA Order 7400.9S, 

Airspace Designations and Reporting 

Points, signed October 3, 2008, and 

effective October 31, 2008, is amended

Proposed Establishment of Restricted 

Area R–2502A; Fort Irwin, CA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

establish a restricted area (R–2502A) at 

Fort Irwin, CA, as part of a Department 

of the Army initiative at the National 

Training Center (NTC). The NTC is 

being expanded to meet the critical need 

of the Army for additional training land 

and airspace suitable for maneuvering 

large numbers of military personnel and 

equipment. Additionally, this action 

would modify the Silver military 

operation area (MOA) in the vicinity of 

the NTC Complex. Unlike restricted 

areas, which are designated under 14 

CFR part 73, MOAs are not rulemaking 

airspace actions. However, since the 

proposed R–2502A infringes on the 

Silver MOA, the FAA is including a 

description of the Silver MOA change in 

this rule. The MOA change described 

here will also be published in the 

National Flight Data Digest (NFDD). The 

Army requested these airspace changes 

to provide the additional special use 

airspace (SUA) above the expanded 

ground maneuver area to facilitate 

realistic combat training at the NTC. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before August 27, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the 

proposal to the U.S. Department of 

Transportation, Dockets Operations, M–

Building Ground Floor, Room W12–140, 

Washington, DC 20590–0001; telephone:

Airspace Docket No. 09–AWP–3, at the 

beginning of your comments. You may
