(f) Compliance
Comply with this AD within the
compliance times specified, unless already
done.
(g) Required Actions for Group 2 Airplanes
For airplanes identified as Group 2 in
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737–27A1324,
dated March 2, 2021: Within 120 days after
the effective date of this AD, inspect the AOA
sensor, using a method approved in
accordance with the procedures specified in
paragraph (j) of this AD.
(h) Required Actions for Group 1 Airplanes
Except as specified in paragraph (i) of this
AD: At the applicable times specified in
paragraph 1.E., ‘‘Compliance,’’ of Boeing
Alert Service Bulletin 737–27A1324, dated
March 2, 2021, do all applicable actions
identified as ‘‘RC’’ (required for compliance)
in, and in accordance with, the
Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 737–27A1324, dated March
2, 2021.
(i) Exception to Service Information
Specifications
Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737–
27A1324, dated March 2, 2021, uses the
phrase ‘‘the original issue date of this service
bulletin,’’ this AD requires using ‘‘the
effective date of this AD.’’
(j) Alternative Methods of Compliance
(AMOCs)
(1) The Manager, Los Angeles ACO Branch,
FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs
for this AD, if requested using the procedures
found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with
14 CFR 39.19, send your request to your
principal inspector or local Flight Standards
District Office, as appropriate. If sending
information directly to the manager of the
certification office, send it to the attention of
the person identified in Related Information.
Information may be emailed to: 9-ANM-
LAACO-AMOC-Requests@faa.gov.
(2) Before using any approved AMOC,
notify your appropriate principal inspector,
or lacking a principal inspector, the manager
of the responsible Flight Standards Office.
(3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable
level of safety may be used for any repair,
modification, or alteration required by this
AD if it is approved by The Boeing Company
Organization Designation Authorization
(ODA) that has been authorized by the
Manager, Los Angeles ACO Branch, FAA, to
make those findings. To be approved, the
repair method, modification deviation, or
alteration deviation must meet the
certification basis of the airplane, and the
approval must specifically refer to this AD.
(4) For service information that contains
steps that are labeled as Required for
Compliance (RC), the provisions of
paragraphs (j)(4)(i) and (ii) of this AD apply.
(i) The steps labeled as RC, including
substeps under an RC step and any figures
identified in an RC step, must be done to
comply with the AD. If a step or substep is
labeled ‘‘RC Exempt,’’ then the RC
requirement is removed from that step or
substep. An AMOC is required for any
deviations to RC steps, including substeps
and identified figures.
(ii) Steps not labeled as RC may be
deviated from using accepted methods in
accordance with the operator’s maintenance
or inspection program without obtaining
approval of an AMOC, provided the RC steps,
including substeps and identified figures, can
still be done as specified, and the airplane
can be put back in an airworthy condition.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
Authority for This Rulemaking
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 rulemaking is
promulgated under the authority

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 Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
of the earth to support IFR operations at
Rogers Field, Chester, CA.

Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document proposes to amend
FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
dated July 21, 2020, and effective
September 15, 2020. FAA Order
7400.11E is publicly available as listed
in the
ADDRESSES
section of this
document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting
points.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to 14 CFR part 71 by establishing Class
E airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface of the earth at
Rogers Field, Chester, CA.
The Class E airspace would be
established extending upward from 700
feet above ground level (AGL) within a
4-mile radius of the airport. In addition,
airspace extending upward from 700
feet AGL would be established within
an area 2 miles each side of the
approach course to runway 34,
extending 3.3 miles south from the 4-
mile radius parallel to the extended
center line of runway 16, then
proceeding southeast 7 miles on a
course of 131°. This would form a dog
leg that provides controlled airspace for
aircraft as they descend below 1500 feet
AGL on approach to runway 34. The
airspace extending upward from 700
feet AGL would also include an area 2
miles each side of the 330° bearing from
the airport extending from the 4-mile
radius northwest 1.5 miles. This area
would provide controlled airspace for
the departure and missed approach
procedures.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020,
and effective September 15, 2020, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class E airspace designations
listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on
September 15.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this
regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which
frequent and routine amendments are
necessary to keep them operationally
current, is non-controversial and
unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. 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, would not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
Environmental Review
This proposal will be subject to an
environmental analysis in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F,
‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final
regulatory action.
