[Docket No. DOT-OST-2012-0028]

Submission of U.S. Carrier and Airport Tarmac Delay Contingency
Plans to Department of Transportation for Approval

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary (OST), Department of Transportation
(DOT).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 requires covered
U.S. carriers and U.S. airports to submit to the Secretary of
Transportation for review and approval tarmac delay contingency plans
on or before May 14, 2012. The U.S. Department of Transportation's
Office of Aviation Enforcement and Proceedings (Enforcement Office)
will be establishing an electronic submission system to enable covered
airlines and airports to submit the required plans through the World
Wide Web. The Enforcement Office plans to issue another notice within
45 days that will provide information on how covered carriers and
airports can submit these required plans. Submissions of the plans
should not be made prior to that date to ensure proper review and
recording.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 14, 2012, President Obama signed the FAA Modernization
and Reform Act of 2012 (the ``Act'') into law. Among other things, the
Act requires U.S. carriers that operate scheduled passenger service or
public charter service using any aircraft with a design capacity of 30
or more seats, and operators of large hub, medium hub, small hub, or
non-hub U.S. airports, to submit contingency plans for lengthy tarmac
delays to the Secretary of Transportation for review and approval no
later than May 14, 2012.
    The requirements of the Act do not conflict with the Department's
existing tarmac delay rule (14 CFR part 259). The Act also permits the
Department to establish, as necessary, minimum standards for
contingency plans. As such, the specific requirements of Part 259
remain in effect for U.S. carriers.
    U.S. carrier contingency plans must contain a provision that a
passenger shall have the option to deplane an aircraft and return to
the airport terminal when there is an excessive tarmac delay (3 hours
for domestic flights and 4 hours for international flights) at each
large hub, medium hub, small hub, or non-hub U.S. airport at which they
operate scheduled or public charter air service, with the following
exceptions: (1) Where an air traffic controller with authority over the
aircraft advises the pilot in command that permitting a passenger to
deplane would significantly disrupt airport operations; or (2) where
the pilot in command determines that permitting a passenger to deplane
would jeopardize passenger safety or security. The deplaning option
must be offered to a passenger even if the flight in covered air
transportation is diverted to a commercial airport other than the
originally scheduled airport. Under the Act, U.S. carrier contingency
plans must also contain a description of how the carrier will: (1)
Provide adequate food, potable water, restroom facilities, comfortable
cabin temperatures (a requirement not currently contained in DOT
rules), and access to medical treatment for passengers onboard an
aircraft when the departure of a flight is delayed or disembarkation of
passengers is delayed; and (2) share facilities and make gates
available at the airport in an emergency (another requirement not
currently in DOT rules). Existing DOT rules require carriers to provide
assurance that the plan has been coordinated with airport authorities
(including terminal facility operators where applicable), U.S. Customs
and Border Protection and the Transportation Security Administration at
each U.S. large hub airport, medium hub airport, small hub airport and
non-hub airport that the carriers serve, as well as their regular U.S.
diversion airports.
    Under the statute airport contingency plans must contain a
description of how the airport operator, to the maximum extent
practicable, will: (1) Provide for the deplanement of passengers
following excessive tarmac delays; (2) provide for the sharing of
facilities and make gates available at the airport in an emergency; and
(3) provide a sterile area following excessive tarmac delays for
passengers who have not yet cleared U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
DOT tarmac delay rules currently do not apply directly to airports.
    The Enforcement Office intends to establish an electronic
submission system, similar to the Department's current disability
complaint reporting system, where covered airlines and airports will
submit their required plans. The Enforcement Office is working to
establish the necessary mechanisms to implement that system and plans
to issue another notice within 45 days with detailed information on the
submission process.
    In defining the hub size of an airport, the Department uses the
airport-specific thresholds published by the Department's Bureau of
Transportation Statistics (BTS). A list of airport information for
calendar year 2010 (the latest available data) is available on the
FAA's Web site at http://www.faa.gov/airports/planning_capacity/passenger_allcargo_stats/passenger/media/cy10_primary_enplanements.pdf. In addition, a preliminary list of covered U.S.
carriers provided by BTS can be found on the Department's Aviation
Consumer Protection Division Web site at http://airconsumer.ost.dot.gov/SA_FlightDelays.htm. Any U.S. carrier or
airport on the referenced air carrier or airport lists that believes
that it is not

covered by the statute and should not be on either list should notify
one of the Department contacts listed above immediately. If any person,
including any U.S. carrier or airport, believes that a carrier or
airport is covered by the statute but does not appear on the
appropriate list, that person should notify one of the Department
contacts noted above immediately with that information.
    The Enforcement Office's review of the contingency plans will
concentrate on the statutory and existing regulatory requirements for
such plans. However, carriers and airports are directed to the model
contingency planning document, titled ``Development of Contingency
Plans for Lengthy Airline On-Board Ground Delays,'' that was developed
by the National Task Force to Develop Model Contingency Plans to Deal
with Lengthy Airline On-Board Ground Delays for contingency planning
guidance. See Docket No. DOT-OST-2007-0108-0124. This document can also
be found at http://airconsumer.dot.gov/publications/TarmacTFModelContingencyPlanningDocument.pdf. We also understand that
the Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) has developed some
preliminary guidance materials in this area as well. Those materials
can be found at http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/acrp/docs/ACRP10-10.Update.10Dec2011.pdf.

    Issued this 24th day of February 2012, at Washington, DC.

Clean Air Act Operating Permit Program; Petition To Object to
Title V Permits for Mettiki Coal, LLC; Maryland

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of final action.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA), the EPA Administrator
signed an Order, dated September 26, 2014, granting a petition to
object to a state operating permit issued by the Maryland Department of
the Environment (MDE). The Order responds to a February 5, 2013
petition. The petition was submitted by the Environmental Integrity
Project (EIP), as well as Benjamin Feldman, and Brenda and Shayne
Lambert (Petitioners). This Order constitutes final action on that
petition requesting that the Administrator object to the issuance of
the proposed CAA title V permit.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the final Order, the petition, and all pertinent
information relating thereto are on file at the following location:
EPA, Region III, Air Protection Division (APD), 1650 Arch St.,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103. EPA requests that if at all possible,
you contact the individual listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section to view copies of the final Order, petition, and other
supporting information. You may view the hard copies Monday through
Friday, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., excluding Federal holidays. If you wish
to examine these documents, you should make an appointment at least 24
hours before the visiting day. The final Order is also available
electronically at the following Web site: http://www.epa.gov/region07/air/title5/petitiondb/petitiondb.htm.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Talley, Air Protection Division,

<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CAA affords EPA a 45-day period to
review and object to, as appropriate, operating permits proposed by
state permitting authorities. Section 505(b)(2) of the CAA authorizes
any person to petition the EPA Administrator within 60 days after the
expiration of this review period to object to a state operating permit
if EPA has not done so. Petitions must be based only on objections
raised with reasonable specificity during the public comment period,
unless the petitioner demonstrates that it was impracticable to raise
these issues during the comment period or that the grounds for
objection or other issue arose after the comment period.

    The February 5, 2013 petition requested that the Administrator
object to the proposed title V operating permit issued by MDE (Permit
No. 24-023-0042), on the grounds that it did not contain testing and
monitoring requirements sufficient to assure compliance with limits for
sulfur dioxide (SO2) and particulate matter (PM) emissions
from the facility's thermal dryer.
    The Order explains the reasons behind EPA's decision to grant the
petition for objection.

    Dated: October 3, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2013-02-12, Amendment 39-17333 (78 FR 7262,
February 1, 2013) (``AD 2013-02-12''). AD 2013-02-12 applied to all
EADS CASA (now Airbus Defense and Space S.A.) Model CN-235, CN-235-100,
CN-235-200, and CN-235-300 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal
Register on June 16, 2017 (82 FR 27631). The NPRM was prompted by
reports of incorrect electrical polarity connections on engine fire
extinguishing discharge cartridges. The NPRM proposed to continue to
require identifying the correct polarity of each pair of electrical
connectors of the affected engine fire extinguisher cartridge, and
doing a repair if necessary. The NPRM also proposed to require
modifying the installation of the fire extinguisher circuit harnesses.
We are issuing this AD to detect and correct incorrect polarity
connections, which could prevent the actuation of the discharge
cartridge in case of automatic fire detection or manual initiation
during a potential engine fire, and could result in damage to the
airplane and injury to passengers.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD
2016-0201, dated October 11, 2016 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to
correct an unsafe condition for all Airbus Defense and Space S.A. Model
CN-235, CN-235-100, CN-235-200, and CN-235-300 airplanes. The MCAI
states:

    Reports have been received of finding wrong electrical polarity
connections of engine fire extinguishing discharge cartridges on
CASA CN-235 aeroplanes. The results of the subsequent investigation
showed that the incorrect discharge cartridge assembly was caused by
production line errors.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could prevent the
actuation of the discharge cartridge in case of automatic fire
detection or manual initiation in case of engine fire, possibly
resulting in damage to the aeroplane and injury to occupants.
    To address this potentially unsafe condition, EADS CASA (Airbus
Military) developed instructions to identify erroneous wiring
polarity installation and EASA issued AD 2012-0045 [which correlates
to FAA AD 2013-02-12, Amendment 39-17333 (78 FR 7262, February 1,
2013)] to require a one-time inspection to verify proper electrical
polarity of wiring of each engine fire extinguisher discharge
cartridge and, depending on findings, corrective action.
    Since [EASA] AD 2012-0045 was issued, Airbus Defence and Space
(D&S) developed modification of the installation of the fire
extinguisher circuit harnesses, available for in-service
installation through Service Bulletin (SB) SB-235-26-0005, which
represents technical solution for an unsafe condition addressed by
[EASA] AD 2012-0045 for those aeroplanes. Embodiment of this
modification introduces a design solution that avoids maintenance
errors during (re)connecting of the affected fire extinguisher
circuit harnesses after accomplishment of maintenance tasks or
functional tests.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirements of EASA AD 2012-0045, which is superseded and

requires identification of the correct polarity after each
maintenance action involving (re)connecting of the engine fire
extinguisher cartridge electrical connector. This [EASA] AD also
requires modification of the affected fire extinguisher circuit
harnesses.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2017-
0555.

Comments

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

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting this AD as proposed except for
minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     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.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed EADS CASA Service Bulletin SB-235-26-0005, dated July
9, 2014. This service information describes procedures for modifying
the installation of the fire extinguisher circuit harnesses.
    We have also reviewed Airbus Military All Operator Letter 235-020,
Revision 01, dated November 12, 2013. This service information
describes procedures for identifying the correct polarity of each pair
of electrical connectors of the affected engine fire extinguisher
cartridge, and repairing the erroneous wiring polarity if necessary.
    This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 12 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                                     Estimated Costs

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.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to transport category airplanes to
the Director of the System Oversight Division.

Regulatory Findings

    We 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);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    You may be potentially affected by this action if you are an
agricultural producer, food manufacturer, or pesticide manufacturer.
Potentially affected entities may include, but are not limited to:
     Crop production (NAICS code 111).
     Animal production (NAICS code 112).
     Food manufacturing (NAICS code 311).
     Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS code 32532).
    This listing is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides
a guide for readers regarding entities likely to be affected by this
action. Other types of entities not listed in this unit could also be
affected. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS)
codes have been provided to

assist you and others in determining whether this action might apply to
certain entities. If you have any questions regarding the applicability
of this action to a particular entity, consult the person listed under
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. How can I get copies of this document and other related information?

    EPA has established a docket for this action under docket
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2007-0092. Publicly available
docket materials are available either in the electronic docket at
http://www.regulations.gov, or, if only available in hard copy, at the
Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) Regulatory Public Docket in Rm. S-
4400, One Potomac Yard (South Bldg.), 2777 S. Crystal Dr., Arlington,
VA. The hours of operation of this Docket Facility are from 8:30 a.m.
to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The Docket
Facility telephone number is<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    In accordance with section 3(c)(2) of FIFRA, a copy of the approved
label, the list of data references, the data and other scientific
information used to support registration, except for material
specifically protected by section 10 of FIFRA, are also available for
public inspection. Requests for data must be made in accordance with
the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act and must be addressed
to the Freedom of Information Office (A-101), 1200 Pennsylvania Ave.,
NW., Washington, DC 20460-0001. Such requests should: Identify the
product name and registration number and specify the data or
information desired.
    A paper copy of the fact sheet, which provides more detail on this
registration, may be obtained from the National Technical Information
Service (NTIS), 5285 Port Royal Rd., Springfield, VA 22161.

II. Did EPA conditionally approve the application?

    A conditional registration may be granted under section 3(c)(7)(C)
of FIFRA for a new active ingredient where certain data are lacking, on
condition that such data are received by the end of the conditional
registration period and do not meet or exceed the risk criteria set
forth in 40 CFR 154.7; that use of the pesticide during the conditional
registration period will not cause unreasonable adverse effects; and
that use of the pesticide is in the public interest. The Agency has
considered the available data on the risks associated with the proposed
use of dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), and information on social, economic,
and environmental benefits to be derived from such use. Specifically,
the Agency has considered the nature and its pattern of use,
application methods and rates, and level and extent of potential
exposure. Based on these reviews, the Agency was able to make basic
health and safety determinations which show that use of DMDS during the
period of conditional registration will not cause any unreasonable
adverse effect on the environment, and that use of the pesticide is in
the public interest.
    Consistent with section 3(c)(7)(C) of FIFRA, the Agency has
determined that these conditional registrations are in the public
interest. Use of the pesticides are of significance to the user
community, and appropriate labeling, use directions, and other measures
have been taken to ensure that use of the pesticides will not result in
unreasonable adverse effects to man and the environment.

III. Conditional Approval Form

    EPA issued a notice, published in the Federal Register of May 1,
2009 (74 FR 20298) (FRL-8404-9), which announced that Arkema, Inc., 639

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to
amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain 328
Support Services GmbH Model 328-100 and Model 328-300 airplanes. The
SNPRM published in the Federal Register on June 30, 2017 (82 FR 29786)
(``the SNPRM''). We preceded the SNPRM with a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) that published in the Federal Register on January 11,
2017 (82 FR 3217) (``the NPRM''). The NPRM proposed to require a one-
time inspection of certain fuel line clamps for discrepancies, and
replacement of any discrepant clamps. The NPRM was prompted by reports
of broken bonding wires of certain fuel line clamps. The SNPRM proposed
to expand the applicability and require repetitive inspections of
certain fuel line clamps for discrepancies; repetitive inspections of
certain jet fuel pumps, connection parts, and fuel lines for chafing
marks; a measurement of the depth of the chafing marks on affected
parts; and replacement of any discrepant parts. We are issuing this AD
to prevent the loss of bonding function, which, in

combination with a lightning strike, could create a source of ignition
in a fuel tank, possibly resulting in a fire or explosion and
consequent loss of the airplane.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2017-0016, dated January 31, 2017 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for certain 328 Support
Services GmbH Model 328-100 and Model 328-300 airplanes. The MCAI
states:

    Occurrences of broken bonding wires of the fuel line clamps have
been reported on Dornier 328-100 and Dornier 328-300 aeroplanes
equipped with fuel line clamps Part Number (P/N) 14C02-10A, or P/N
14C02-12A, or P/N 14C02-16A. The affected fuel line clamps have been
installed in accordance with the instructions of Dornier 328 Service
Bulletin (SB) SB-328-28-490 or SB-328J-28-241, as applicable, to
reduce occurrences of fuel line chafing.
    The results of the investigation did not identify design
deficiency or production failure of the fuel line clamps. It is
assumed that the chafing and breaking of the bonding wires are
caused either by excessive vibration, misalignment, excessive
installation tolerances or mistakes on installation or a combination
thereof.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to the
loss of bonding function and, in combination with a lightning
strike, create a source of ignition in a fuel tank, possibly
resulting in a fire or explosion and consequent loss of the
aeroplane.
    To address the unsafe condition, 328 Support Services issued
Alert SB (ASB) ASB-328-28-041 (for Dornier 328-100) and ASB-328J-28-
018 (for Dornier 328-300), providing inspection instructions.
    Consequently, EASA issued AD 2016-0169 [which corresponds to the
NPRM] to require a one-time inspection of the fuel line clamps and,
depending on findings, replacement. That [EASA] AD also required the
reporting of all inspection results to the design approval holder.
    Since that [EASA] AD was issued, it was determined that
repetitive inspections are necessary and 328 Support Services
revised the applicable ASBs accordingly.
    For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirements of EASA AD 2016-0169, which is superseded, and requires
repetitive inspections of all Hydraflow fuel line clamps [i.e., a
general visual inspection of all Hydraflow fuel line clamps for worn
and missing bonding wires; a general visual inspection of the jet
pump outlet, connection part, and fuel lines for chafing marks; and
a measurement of the depth of the chafing marks on affected parts]
and continued reporting to the TC Holder.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2016-
9568.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comment received on the SNPRM and
the FAA's response to that comment.

Request To Incorporate a New Optional Terminating Action

    One commenter, Christoph Thallmayr, stated that 328 Support
Services has released Service Bulletin SB-328-28-553, Revision 1, dated
July 10, 2017; and Service Bulletin SB-328J-28-322, Revision 1, dated
July 10, 2017. The commenter noted that this service information
contains instructions for a modification, which is considered a
terminating action to the inspections specified in the SNPRM. The
commenter requested that we incorporate the terminating action and
applicable service information into the final rule.
    We agree with the commenter's request. We have added paragraph (l)
to this AD to allow operators to accomplish an optional terminating
modification, which must be done in accordance with 328 Support
Services GmbH Service Bulletin SB-328-28-553, Revision 1, dated July
10, 2017; or Service Bulletin SB-328J-28-322, Revision 1, dated July
10, 2017; as applicable. We also have redesignated subsequent
paragraphs accordingly.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
SNPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the SNPRM.
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    328 Support Services GmbH has issued Alert Service Bulletin ASB-
328J-28-018, Revision 2, dated December 12, 2016; and Alert Service
Bulletin ASB-328-28-041, Revision 2, dated December 12, 2016. The
service information describes procedures for a general visual
inspection of all Hydraflow fuel line clamps for worn and missing
bonding wires; a general visual inspection of the jet pump outlet,
connection part, and fuel lines for chafing marks; a measurement of the
depth of the chafing marks; and replacement of discrepant parts. These
documents are distinct since they apply to different airplane models.
    328 Support Services GmbH has also issued Service Bulletin SB-328-
28-553, Revision 1, dated July 10, 2017; and Service Bulletin SB-328J-
28-322, Revision 1, dated July 10, 2017. The service information
describes procedures for modifying the wing tank distribution system.
These documents are distinct since they apply to different airplane
models.
    This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 25 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control
number for the collection of information required by this AD is 2120-
0056. The paperwork cost associated with this AD has been detailed in
the Costs of Compliance section of this document and includes time for
reviewing instructions, as well as completing and reviewing the
collection of information. Therefore, all reporting associated with
this AD is mandatory. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden
and suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the FAA
at 800 Independence Ave. SW., Washington, DC 20591, ATTN: Information
Collection Clearance Officer, AES-200.

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.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to transport category airplanes to
the Director of the System Oversight Division.

Regulatory Findings

    We 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);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. 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.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 28, Fuel.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by reports of broken bonding wires of
certain fuel line clamps. We are issuing this AD to prevent the loss
of bonding function, which, in combination with a lightning strike,
could create a source of ignition in a fuel tank, possibly resulting
in a fire or explosion and consequent loss of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Repetitive Inspections

    Within 6 months after the effective date of this AD, do a
general visual inspection of all Hydraflow fuel line clamps for worn
and missing bonding wires; do a general visual inspection of the jet
pump outlet, connection part, and fuel lines for chafing marks; and
for parts with chafing marks, before further flight, measure the
depth of the chafing marks; in accordance with the Accomplishment
Instructions of the service information specified in paragraph
(g)(1) or (g)(2) of this AD, as applicable. Repeat the inspections
thereafter at intervals not to exceed 2,500 flight hours.

    (1) If any worn or missing bonding wires are found during any
inspection required by paragraph (g) of this AD, before further
flight, replace all affected clamps, in accordance with the
Accomplishment Instructions of the service information specified in
paragraph (g)(1) or (g)(2) of this AD, as applicable.
    (2) If, during any inspection required by paragraph (g) of this
AD, any chafing depth is found that is more than the replacement
limits specified in the Accomplishment Instructions of the service
information specified in paragraph (g)(1) or (g)(2) of this AD, as
applicable, before further flight, replace all affected parts, in
accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of the service
information specified in paragraph (g)(1) or (g)(2) of this AD, as
applicable.
