Airworthiness Directives; Dornier Model 328-100 and -300
Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This proposed AD results from mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation
authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as:

    At least one incident has occurred where, immediately after
take-off, the passenger door of a Dornier 328 completely opened. * *
* Substantial damage to the door, handrails, door hinge arms and
fuselage skin were found.
    * * * Although final proof could not be obtained, the most
likely way in which the door opened was that the door handle was
inadvertently operated during the take-off run.
* * * * *
    [T]his Airworthiness Directive (AD) aims to prevent further
incidents of inadvertent opening and possible detachment of a
passenger door in-flight, likely resulting in damage to airframe and
systems and, under less favorable circumstances, loss of control of
the aircraft.
* * * * *
The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the
unsafe condition described in the MCAI.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by April 28, 2008.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2007-0199, dated July 25, 2007 (corrected July
26, 2007; referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for the specified products. The MCAI states:

    At least one incident has occurred where, immediately after
take-off, the passenger door of a Dornier 328 completely opened. The
flight crew reportedly had no cockpit indication or audible chime
prior to this event. The aircraft returned to the departure airfield
and made an uneventful emergency landing. Substantial damage to the
door, handrails, door hinge arms and fuselage skin were found.

    The subsequent investigation could not find any deficiency in
the design of the main cabin door locking mechanism. In addition, no
technical failure could be determined that precipitated the event.
The flight data recorder showed that the door was closed and locked
before take-off and opened shortly afterward. Although final proof
could not be obtained, the most likely way in which the door opened
was that the door handle was inadvertently operated during the take-
off run.
    In response to the incident, AvCraft (the TC (type certificate)
holder at the time) developed a placard set to warn the occupants
against touching the door handle, as well as a structural
modification of the passenger door hinge supports to make certain
that the door does not separate from the aircraft when inadvertently
opened during flight, allowing a safe descent and landing.
    Although the event described above did not prevent the flight
crew from landing the aircraft safely, the condition of the aircraft
immediately after the opening of the door has been determined to
have been unsafe. [T]his Airworthiness Directive (AD) aims to
prevent further incidents of inadvertent opening and possible
detachment of a passenger door in-flight, likely resulting in damage
to airframe and systems and, under less favorable circumstances,
loss of control of the aircraft.
* * * * *
Corrective actions include installing warning placards on the doors,
and doing a modification that includes replacing the hinge supports and
support struts of the passenger doors with new, improved hinge supports
and support struts. You may obtain further information by examining the
MCAI in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    AvCraft Aerospace GmbH has issued the service information described
in the following table.

The actions described in this service information are intended to
correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have proposed different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a NOTE within the proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 106 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that
it would take about 38 work-hours per product to comply with the basic
requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $80 per
work-hour. Required parts would cost about $11,961 per product. Where
the service information lists required parts costs that are covered
under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no charge for these
costs. As we do not control warranty coverage for affected parties,
some parties may incur costs higher than estimated here. Based on these
figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed AD on U.S. operators to
be $1,590,106, or $15,001 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. 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.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect 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.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

328 Support Services GmbH (Formerly AvCraft Aerospace GmbH): Docket
No. FAA-2008-0362; Directorate Identifier 2007-NM-308-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by April 28, 2008.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Dornier Model 328-100 airplanes, having
serial numbers (S/Ns) 3005 through 3098, 3100, 3101, 3106, 3107,
3109, 3110, 3112, 3113, 3115, 3117 and 3119;

and Model 328-300 airplanes, having S/Ns 3102, 3105, 3108, 3111,
3114, 3116, 3118, and 3120 through 3224; certificated in any
category.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 11: Placards
and Markings; and Code 52: Doors.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
    At least one incident has occurred where, immediately after
take-off, the passenger door of a Dornier 328 completely opened. The
flight crew reportedly had no cockpit indication or audible chime
prior to this event. The aircraft returned to the departure airfield
and made an uneventful emergency landing. Substantial damage to the
door, handrails, door hinge arms and fuselage skin were found.
    The subsequent investigation could not find any deficiency in
the design of the main cabin door locking mechanism. In addition, no
technical failure could be determined that precipitated the event.
The flight data recorder showed that the door was closed and locked
before take-off and opened shortly afterward. Although final proof
could not be obtained, the most likely way in which the door opened
was that the door handle was inadvertently operated during the take-
off run.
    In response to the incident, AvCraft (the TC (type certificate)
holder at the time) developed a placard set to warn the occupants
against touching the door handle, as well as a structural
modification of the passenger door hinge supports to make certain
that the door does not separate from the aircraft when inadvertently
opened during flight, allowing a safe descent and landing.
    Although the event described above did not prevent the flight
crew from landing the aircraft safely, the condition of the aircraft
immediately after the opening of the door has been determined to
have been unsafe. [T]his Airworthiness Directive (AD) aims to
prevent further incidents of inadvertent opening and possible
detachment of a passenger door in-flight, likely resulting in damage
to airframe and systems and, under less favorable circumstances,
loss of control of the aircraft.
* * * * *
Corrective actions include installing warning placards on the doors,
and doing a modification that includes replacing the hinge supports
and support struts of the passenger doors with new, improved hinge
supports and support struts.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions.
    (1) Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, install
warning placards on the inside of the passenger door and service
doors, in accordance with AvCraft Dornier Service Bulletin SB-328-
11-454 (for Model 328-100 airplanes) or SB-328J-11-209 (for Model
328-300 airplanes), both dated May 3, 2004, as applicable.
    (2) Within 12 months after the effective date of this AD, modify
the hinge supports and support struts of the passenger doors, in
accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of AvCraft Dornier
Service Bulletin SB-328-52-460 (for Model 328-100 airplanes) or SB-
328J-52-213, (for Model 328-300 airplanes), both dated February 4,
2005, as applicable.

FAA AD Differences

    Note: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information
as follows: No differences.

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (g) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 30870; Amdt. No. 3505]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports.
These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or
revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National
Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective December 3, 2012. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of December 3, 2012.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:
    For Examination--
    1. FAA Rules Docket, FAA Headquarters Building, 800 Independence
Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591;
    2. The FAA Regional Office of the region in which the affected

City, OK. 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082 Oklahoma City, OK. 73125)
telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97) by amending the referenced SIAPs.
The complete regulatory description of each SIAP is listed on the
appropriate FAA Form 8260, as modified by the National Flight Data
Center (FDC)/Permanent Notice to Airmen (P-NOTAM), and is incorporated
by reference in the amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and
Sec.  97.20 of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
    The large number of SIAPs, their complex nature, and the need for a
special format make their verbatim publication in the Federal Register
expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use the regulatory
text of the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic depiction on charts
printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages
of incorporation by reference are realized and publication of the
complete description of each SIAP contained in FAA form documents is
unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and
specifies the types of SIAP and the corresponding effective dates. This
amendment also identifies the airport and its location, the procedure
and the amendment number.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP as amended in the transmittal. For safety and
timeliness of change considerations, this amendment incorporates only
specific changes contained for each SIAP as modified by FDC/P-NOTAMs.
    The SIAPs, as modified by FDC P-NOTAM, and contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these changes to
SIAPs, the TERPS criteria were applied only to specific conditions
existing at the affected airports. All SIAP amendments in this rule
have been previously issued by the FAA in a FDC NOTAM as an emergency
action of immediate flight safety relating directly to published
aeronautical charts. The circumstances which created the need for all
these SIAP amendments requires making them effective in less than 30
days.
    Because of the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs
and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and public procedure
before adopting these SIAPs are impracticable and contrary to the
public interest and, where applicable, that good cause exists for
making these SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.

Conclusion

    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.
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. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Order designating certain professional

pursuant to Rule 501(a)(10) under the Securities Act of 1933
(``Securities Act'').
    After consideration of public comments and for the reasons set
forth in the adopting release for Rule 501(a)(10),\1\ the Commission
hereby finds that the following professional licenses meet the
attributes to qualify natural persons holding such licenses in good
standing as accredited investors under Rule 501(a)(10): General
Securities Representative license (Series 7),\2\ Private Securities
Offerings Representative license (Series 82),\3\ and Investment Adviser
Representative license (Series 65).\4\ Our determination that these

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Amending the ``Accredited Investor'' Definition, Release
Nos. 33-10824; 34-89669 (Aug. 26, 2020).
    \2\ The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(``FINRA'') developed and administers the Series 7 examination. An
individual must be associated with a FINRA member firm or other
applicable self-regulatory organization member firm to be eligible
to take the exam and be granted a license. See https://www.finra.org/registration-exams-ce/qualification-exams/series7.
