SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption
for a 2-year period if it finds ``such exemption would likely achieve a
level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that
would be achieved absent such exemption.'' The statute also allows the
Agency to renew exemptions at the end of the 2-year period. The 24
individuals listed in this notice have recently requested an exemption
from the diabetes prohibition in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3), which applies to
drivers of CMV in interstate commerce. Accordingly, the Agency will
evaluate the qualifications of each applicant to determine whether
granting the exemption will achieve the required level of safety
mandated by the statutes.

Request for Comments

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA requests
public comment from all interested persons on the exemption petitions
described in this notice. We will consider all comments received before
the close of business on the closing date indicated in the date section
of the Notice.
    FMCSA notes that Section 4129 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible
and Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-
LU) requires the Secretary to revise its diabetes exemption program
established on September 3, 2003 (68 FR 52441).\1\ The revision must
provide for individual assessment of drivers with diabetes mellitus,
and be consistent with the criteria described in section 4018 of the
Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (49 U.S.C. 31305).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Section 4129(a) refers to the 2003 Notice as a ``final
rule.'' However, the 2003 Notice did not issue a ``final rule'' but
did establish the procedures and standards for issuing exemptions
for drivers with ITDM.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 4129 requires: (1) The elimination of the requirement for
three years of experience operating CMVs while being treated with
insulin; and (2) the establishment of a specified minimum period of
insulin use to demonstrate stable control of diabetes before being
allowed to operate a CMV.
    In response to section 4129, FMCSA made immediate revisions to the
diabetes exemption program established by the September 3, 2003 Notice.
FMCSA discontinued use of the 3-year driving experience and fulfilled
the requirements of section 4129 while continuing to ensure that
operation of CMVs by drivers with ITDM will achieve the requisite level
of safety required of all exemptions granted under 49 USC. 31136 (e).
    Section 4129(d) also directed FMCSA to ensure that drivers of CMVs
with ITDM are not held to a higher standard than other drivers, with
the exception of limited operating, monitoring and medical requirements
that are deemed medically necessary.
    FMCSA concluded that all of the operating, monitoring and medical
requirements set out in the September 3, 2003 Notice, except as
modified, were in compliance with section 4129(d). Therefore, all of
the requirements set out in the September 3, 2003 Notice, except as
modified by the Notice in the Federal Register on November 8, 2005 (70
FR 67777), remain in effect.

Amendment 39-15713; AD 2007-07-06 R1]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Cessna Aircraft Company (Type
Certificate Previously Held by Columbia Aircraft Manufacturing) Models
LC40-550FG, LC41-550FG, and LC42-550FG Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) to revise
AD 2007-07-06, which applies to certain Cessna Aircraft Company (type
certificate previously held by Columbia Aircraft Manufacturing)
(Cessna) Models LC40-550FG, LC41-550FG, and LC42-550FG airplanes. AD
2007-07-06 currently requires the following: Adding information to the
limitations section of

the airplane flight manual (AFM); repetitively inspecting the aileron
and the elevator linear bearings and control rods for foreign object
debris, scarring, or damage; and taking all necessary corrective
actions. Since we issued AD 2007-07-06, Cessna has issued a new service
bulletin that contains procedures for installing an access panel to
facilitate the required inspections. Consequently, this AD retains the
actions currently required in AD 2007-07-06; allows installing access
panels; and changes the serial number applicability. We are issuing
this AD to prevent jamming in the aileron and elevator control systems,
which could result in failure. This failure could lead to loss of
control.

DATES: This AD becomes effective on December 5, 2008.
    On December 5, 2008, the Director of the Federal Register approved
the incorporation by reference of Cessna Mandatory Service Bulletin SB-
07-002D, dated May 29, 2008, and Cessna Mandatory Service Bulletin SB-
07-018, dated May 29, 2008, listed in this AD.
    As of April 9, 2007 (72 FR 15822, April 3, 2007), the Director of
the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of
Columbia Mandatory Service Bulletin SB-07-002, dated March 14, 2007,
listed in this AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On August 1, 2008, we issued a proposal to amend part 39 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to include an AD that
would apply to certain Cessna Models LC40-550FG, LC41-550FG, and LC42-
550FG airplanes. This proposal was published in the Federal Register as
a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on August 7, 2008 (73 FR 45902).
The NPRM proposed to revise AD 2007-07-06 with a new AD that will
retain the actions currently required in AD 2007-07-06; allow
installing access panels; and change the serial number applicability.

Comments

    We provided the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the proposal or on the
determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We have carefully reviewed the available data and determined that
air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed
except for minor editorial corrections. We have determined that these
minor corrections:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 1,495 airplanes in the U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to do the inspection:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Total cost
                   Labor cost                                 Parts cost               Total cost      on U.S.
                                                                                per airplane    operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 work-hours x $80 per hour = $320..............  Not applicable....................         $320      $478,400
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We estimate the following costs to do the optional access panel
installation:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             Total cost
             Labor cost                    Parts cost       per airplane
------------------------------------------------------------------------
14 work-hours x $80 per hour =       Not applicable.......       $1,120
 $1,120.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Warranty credit for installing the access panel may be given to the
extent noted in Cessna Mandatory Service Bulletins SB-07-018, dated May
29, 2008.

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 AD.

Regulatory Findings

    We have determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will 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 that this AD:
    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 summary of the costs to comply with this AD (and
other

information as included in the Regulatory Evaluation) and placed it in
the AD Docket. You may get a copy of this summary by sending a request
to us at the address listed under ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-
2007-27628; Directorate Identifier 2007-CE-025-AD'' in your request.

Adoption of the Amendment

0
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator,
the Federal Aviation Administration amends part 39 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
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]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2007-07-06, Amendment 39-15011 (72 FR 15822, April 3, 2007), and adding
the following new AD:

2007-07-06 R1 Cessna Aircraft Company (type certificate previously
held by Columbia Aircraft Manufacturing): Amendment 39-15713; Docket
No. FAA-2007-27628; Directorate Identifier 2007-CE-025-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This AD becomes effective on December 5, 2008.

Affected ADs

    (b) This AD revises AD 2007-07-06, Amendment 39-15011.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to the following airplane models and serial
numbers that are certificated in any category:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 Model                             Serial Nos.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
LC40-550FG............................  40001 through 40079.
LC41-550FG............................  41001 through 41800 and 411001
                                         through 411041.
LC42-550FG............................  42001 through 42569 and 421001
                                         through 421006.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unsafe Condition

    (d) This AD is the result of reports of possible foreign object
contamination of the linear bearings. We are issuing this AD to
prevent jamming in the aileron and elevator control systems, which
could result in failure. This failure could lead to loss of control.
