Aviation Falcon 2000 series airplanes.

Note 1: This AD applies to each engine

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

engines that have been modified, altered, or

repaired so that the performance of the

requirements of this AD is affected, the

owner/operator must request approval for an

alternative method of compliance in

accordance with paragraph (g) of this AD.

The request should include an assessment of

the effect of the modification, alteration, or

repair on the unsafe condition addressed by

this AD; and, if the unsafe condition has not

been eliminated, the request should include

specific proposed actions to address it.

Compliance: Compliance with this AD is

required as indicated, unless already done.

To remove from service affected fan disks,

which if not removed, could result in

uncontained engine failure and damage to

the airplane, do the following:

(a) Remove from service before further

flight, the following serial number (SN) fan

rotor disks listed in Table 1:

14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 01–AWP–27]

Establishment of a Class E Enroute

Domestic Airspace Area, Iron

Mountain, CA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Direct final rule, requests for

comments.

SUMMARY: This action establishes a Class

E enroute domestic airspace area

beginning at 1,200 feet above ground

level (AGL) in the vicinity of Iron

Mountain, CA, to replace existing Class

G uncontrolled airspace.

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC

February 21, 2002. Comment Date:

Comments for inclusion in the Rules

Docket must be received on or before

January 22, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the

direct final rule in triplicate to: Federal

Aviation Administration, Attn:

Manager, Airspace Branch, AWP–520,

Docket No. 01–AWP–27, Air Traffic

Division, P.O. Box 92007, Los Angeles,

California 90009.

The official docket may be examined

in the Office of the Assistant Chief

Counsel, Western-Pacific Region,

Federal Aviation Administration, Room

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 246 / Friday, December 21, 2001 / Rules and Regulations 65835

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

action will establish a Class E enroute

domestic airspace area with a base

altitude of 1,200 feet AGL in the vicinity

of Iron Mountain, CA. A review of the

airspace in southern California revealed

large areas of uncontrolled (Class G)

airspace immediately adjacent to

numerous federal airways. Because this

airspace is Class G (uncontrolled) below

14,500 feet mean sea level (MSL), the

Los Angeles Air Route Traffic Control

Center (ARTCC) cannot initiate

instrument flight rules (IFR) air traffic

services within Class G airspace. IFR

services may be provided to aircraft

operating in Class G airspace only when

the pilot requests such service. This

procedure effectively limits the

flexibility of Los Angeles ARTCC in

providing off route vectors and direct

routing to aircraft in these areas. En

route domestic airspace areas are

intended to create controlled airspace in

those areas where there is a

requirement, or need, to provide

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) en route

air traffic control services but the

Federal airway segment is inadequate.

The intended effect of this action is to

establish Class E controlled airspace

within the boundaries of the abovementioned area, thereby replacing the

existing uncontrolled airspace.

Class E enroute domestic airspace

areas are published in Paragraph 6006 of

FAA Order 7400.9J dated August 31,

2001, and effective September 16, 2001,

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 Direct Final Rule Procedure

The FAA anticipates that this

regulation will not result in adverse or

negative comment and therefore is

issuing it as a direct final rule. Unless

a written adverse or negative comment,

or a written notice of intent to submit

an adverse or negative comment is

received within the comment period,

the regulation will become effective on

the date specified above. After the close

of the comment period, the FAA will

publish a document in the Federal

Register indicating that no adverse or

negative comments were received and

confirming the date on which the final

rule will become effective. If the FAA

does receive, within the comment

period, an adverse or negative comment,

or written notice of intent to submit

such a comment, a document

withdrawing the direct final rule will be

published in the Federal Register, and

a notice of proposed rulemaking may be

published with a new comment period.

Comments Invited

Although this action is in the form of

a final rule and was not preceded by a

notice of proposed rulemaking,

comments are invited on this rule.

Interested persons are invited to

comment on this rule by submitting

such written data, views, or arguments

as they may desire. Communications

should identify the Rules Docket

number and be submitted in triplicate to

the address specified under the caption

ADDRESSES. All communications

received on or before the closing date

for comments will be considered, and

this rule may be amended or withdrawn

in light of the comments received.

Factual information that supports the

commenter’s ideas and suggestions is

extremely helpful in evaluating the

effectiveness of this action and

determining whether additional

rulemaking action would be needed.

Comments are specifically invited on

the overall regulatory, economic,

environmental, and energy aspects of

the rule that might suggest a need to

modify the rule. All comments

submitted will be available, both before

and after the closing date for comments,

in the Rules Docket for examination by

interested persons. A report that

summarizes each FAA-public contact

concerned with the substance of this

action will be filed in the Rules Docket.

Commenters wishing the FAA to

acknowledge receipt of their comments

submitted in response to this rule must

submit a self-addressed, stamped

postcard on which the following

statement is made: ‘‘Comments to

Docket No. 01–AWP–27.’’ The postcard

will be date stamped and returned to the

commenter.

Agency Findings

The regulations adopted herein will

not have substantial direct effects on the

States, on the relationship between the

national government and the States, or

on the distribution of power and

responsibilities among the various

levels of government. Therefore, in

accordance with Executive Order 12612,

it is determined that this final rule does

not have sufficient federalism

implications to warrant the preparation

of a Federalism Assessment.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation is noncontroversial and

unlikely to result in adverse or negative

comments. For the reasons discussed in

the preamble, this regulation only

involves an established body of

technical regulations for which frequent

and routine amendments are necessary

to keep them operationally current.

Therefore, this regulation—(1) Is not a

‘‘signification 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 will not have

a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.
