Airworthiness Directives; Short Brothers Model SD3-60 Airplanes
Equipped with an Auxiliary Fuel Tank System Installed in Accordance
With Supplemental Type Certificate SA00404AT

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Short Brothers Model SD3-60 airplanes. This AD requires deactivation of
auxiliary fuel tank systems installed in accordance with Supplemental
Type Certificate SA00404AT. This AD results from fuel tank system
review requirements done in accordance with Special Federal Aviation
Regulation No. 88 (SFAR 88), which identified potential unsafe
conditions. We are issuing this AD to prevent the potential of ignition
sources inside fuel tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel
vapors, could result in fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of the
airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective July 15, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an airworthiness directive (AD) that would apply to
certain Short Brothers Model SD3-60 airplanes. That NPRM was published
in the Federal Register on February 29, 2008 (73 FR 11070). That NPRM
proposed to require deactivation of auxiliary fuel tank systems
installed in accordance with Supplemental Type Certificate SA00404AT.

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 relevant data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.

Costs of Compliance

    The following table provides the estimated costs for the 1 U.S.-
registered airplane to comply with this AD.

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

    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 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.
    You can find our regulatory evaluation and the estimated costs of
compliance in the AD Docket.

    (e) You are responsible for having the actions required by this
AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the
actions have already been done.

Report

    (f) Within 45 days after the effective date of this AD, submit a
report to the Manager, Atlanta Aircraft Certification Office (ACO),
FAA. The report must include the information listed in paragraphs
(f)(1) and (f)(2) of this AD. Under the provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) has approved the information collection requirements
contained in this AD, and assigned OMB Control Number 2120-0056.
    (1) The airplane registration and serial number.

    (2) The usage frequency in terms of total number of flights per
year and total number of flights per year for which the auxiliary
fuel tank system is used.

Prevent Usage of Auxiliary Fuel Tank

    (g) Before December 16, 2008, deactivate the auxiliary fuel tank
system, in accordance with a deactivation procedure approved by the
Manager of the Atlanta ACO. Any auxiliary fuel tank system component
that remains on the airplane must be secured and must have no effect
on the continued operational safety and airworthiness of the
airplane. Deactivation may not result in the need for additional
Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA).

    Note 1: Appendix A of this AD provides criteria that must be
included in the deactivation procedure. The proposed deactivation
procedures should be submitted to the Atlanta ACO as soon as
possible to ensure timely review and approval, prior to
implementation.

    Note 2: For technical information, contact Robert Bosak,
Aerospace Engineer, Propulsion and Services Branch, ACE-118A,
Atlanta ACO, One Crown Center, 1895 Phoenix Boulevard, Suite 450,

6097.

Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (h)(1) The Manager, Atlanta ACO, has the authority to approve
AMOCs for this AD, if requested in accordance with the procedures
found in 14 CFR 39.19.
    (2) To request a different method of compliance or a different
compliance time for this AD, follow the procedures in 14 CFR 39.19.
Before using any approved AMOC on any airplane to which the AMOC
applies, notify your appropriate principal inspector (PI) in the FAA
Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local
FSDO.

Material Incorporated by Reference

    (i) None.

Appendix A--Deactivation Criteria

    The auxiliary fuel tank system deactivation procedure required
by paragraph (g) of this AD must address the following actions.
    (1) Permanently drain the auxiliary fuel tank system tanks, and
clear them of fuel vapors to eliminate the possibility of out-
gassing of fuel vapors from the emptied auxiliary tank.
    (2) Disconnect all auxiliary fuel tank system electrical
connections from the fuel quantity indication system (FQIS), float,
pressure and transfer valves and switches, and all other electrical
connections required for auxiliary fuel tank system operation, and
stow them at the auxiliary fuel tank interface.
    (3) Disconnect all auxiliary fuel tank system fuel supply and
fuel vent plumbing interfaces with airplane original equipment
manufacturer (OEM) fuel tanks, cap them at the airplane tank side,
and secure them. All disconnected auxiliary fuel tank system vent
systems must not alter the OEM fuel tank vent system configuration
or performance. All empty auxiliary fuel tank system tanks must be
vented to eliminate the possibility of structural deformation during
cabin decompression. The configuration must not permit the
introduction of fuel vapor into any compartments of the airplane.
    (4) Pull and collar all circuit breakers used to operate the
auxiliary fuel tank system.
    (5) Revise the weight and balance document, if required, and
obtain FAA approval for any changes to the weight and balance
document.
    (6) Amend the applicable sections of the applicable airplane
flight manual (AFM) to indicate that the auxiliary fuel tank system
is deactivated. Remove auxiliary fuel tank system operating
procedures to ensure that only the OEM fuel system operational
procedures are contained in the AFM. Amend the Limitations Section
of the AFM to indicate that the AFM Supplement for the STC is not in
effect. Place a placard in the flight deck indicating that the
auxiliary fuel tank system is deactivated. The AFM revisions
specified in this paragraph may be accomplished by inserting a copy
of this AD into the AFM.
    (7) Amend the applicable sections of the applicable airplane
maintenance manual to remove auxiliary fuel tank system maintenance
procedures.
    (8) After the auxiliary fuel tank system is deactivated,
accomplish procedures such as leak checks, pressure checks, and
functional checks deemed necessary before returning the airplane to
service. These procedures must include verification that the basic
airplane OEM FQIS, fuel distribution, and fuel venting systems
function properly and have not been adversely affected by
deactivation of the auxiliary fuel tank system.
    (9) Include with the proposed deactivation procedures any
relevant information or additional steps that are deemed necessary
by the operator to comply with the deactivation of the auxiliary
fuel tank system and return of the airplane to service.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
The Boeing Company Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, -900, and -900ER
series airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of escape slides
failing to deploy from the forward and aft right-hand doors during
scheduled maintenance slide deployments. This AD requires modifying the
escape slide. Also, for certain airplanes, this AD requires modifying
or replacing the Vespel piston. For certain other airplanes, this AD
requires an additional modification of the escape slide. We are issuing
this AD to prevent failure of an escape slide to deploy, which could
result in the slide being unusable during an emergency evacuation and
increased likelihood of injury to passengers or crewmembers due to the
difficulty in evacuating the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective January 31, 2013.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in the AD as of January 31,
2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to
amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an airworthiness directive (AD) that
would apply to the specified products. That SNPRM published in the
Federal Register on August 31, 2012 (77 FR 53155). The original NPRM
(76 FR 69159, November 8, 2011) proposed to require checking the escape
slide girt for serviceability, and replacement if necessary; modifying
the cable routing provision; replacing the regulator padding; modifying
the aspirator orientation; and modifying the valise. The original NPRM
also proposed to require, for certain airplanes, modifying or replacing
the Vespel piston, modifying the pilot valve regulator, installing a
new firing cable and safety pin, and modifying the slide valise. The
SNPRM proposed to add airplanes to the applicability of the original
NPRM, and specify revised service information. For certain other
airplanes, this AD requires an additional modification of the escape
slide.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We have considered the comments received.

Support for the SNPRM (77 FR 53155, August 31, 2012)

    Boeing stated that it concurs with the contents of the SNPRM (77 FR
53155, August 31, 2012), and therefore, no additional comments will be
forthcoming.
    Goodrich Corporation stated that the comments it submitted to the
original NPRM (76 FR 69159, November 8, 2011) have been satisfactorily
addressed, and therefore, it has no additional comments or changes to
offer.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the 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
SNPRM (77 FR 53155, August 31, 2012) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the SNPRM (77 FR 53155, August 31, 2012).

Additional Change Made to This Final Rule

    We have removed the girt replacement on-condition cost specified in
the SNPRM (77 FR 53155, August 31, 2012) from this AD, because the
proposed girt check for continued serviceability was removed from the
SNPRM and is not included in this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 557 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

    According to the parts supplier, some of the costs of this AD may
be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected
individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost
estimate.

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

    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 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

Adoption of the Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA amends 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 adding the following new airworthiness
directive (AD):

2012-25-05 The Boeing Company: Amendment 39-17286; Docket No. FAA-

deploy from the forward and aft right-hand doors during scheduled
maintenance slide deployments. We are issuing this AD to prevent
failure of an escape slide to deploy, which could result in the
slide being unusable during an emergency evacuation and increased
likelihood of injury to passengers or crewmembers due to the
difficulty in evacuating the airplane.

(f) Compliance

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

II. Background

    On October 31, 1989, EPA promulgated the National Emissions
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) under Section 112 of
the Clean Air Act to control radionuclide emissions to the ambient air
from a number of different source categories (54 FR 51654, December 15,
1989 (Docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2002-0050, Item 0028)). Subpart H of 40 CFR
part 61 is one of the source categories covered in this 1989 final
rule. Facilities owned and operated by the Department of Energy (DOE)
are covered by subpart H. DOE administers many facilities, including
government-owned, contractor-operated facilities across the country.
Some of these DOE facilities handle significant amounts of radioactive
material and can emit radionuclides into the air in various physical
and chemical states. The purpose of subpart H is to limit radionuclide
emissions (not including radon) from the stacks and vents at DOE
facilities so that no member of the public receives an effective dose
equivalent of more than 10 millirem per year (mrem/yr).

III. CAP88-PC Model for Demonstrating Compliance

A. CAP88-PC Model History

    EPA is today announcing the availability of Version 3 of the CAP88-
PC model for use in demonstrating compliance with the requirements of
40 CFR part 61, subpart H. CAP88 (Clean Air Act Assessment Package--
1988) (Docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2002-0050, Items 0033 through 0036) is a set
of computer programs, databases and associated utility programs for
estimation of dose and risk from radionuclide emissions to air. CAP88-
PC implements, on the personal computer platform, modified versions of
the AIRDOS-EPA and DARTAB codes that were written in FORTRAN 77 and
executed in a mainframe computing environment. CAP88-PC provides for
dose and risk assessments of collective populations, maximally-exposed
individuals, and selected individuals. The complete set of dose and
risk factors is provided.
    The original CAP88-PC software package, Version 1.0 (Docket EPA-HQ-
OAR-2002-0050, Items 0040 and 0041), allowed users to perform full-
featured dose and risk assessments in a DOS environment for the purpose
of demonstrating compliance with 40 CFR 61.93(a); it was approved for
compliance demonstration in February 1992.
    CAP88-PC Version 2.0 (Docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2002-0050, Items 0042 and
0043) provided a framework for developing inputs to perform full-
featured dose and risk assessments in a Windows environment for the
purpose of demonstrating compliance with 40 CFR 61.93(a). Version 2.0
was approved for compliance demonstration in 1999. Version 2.1 included
some additional changes compared to the DOS version and the previous
Windows version, 2.0.

The changes included the addition of more decay chains, improvements in
the Windows code error handling, and a modified nuclide data input
form. Section 1.6 of the CAP88-PC Version 3 User's Guide (Docket EPA-
HQ-OAR-2002-0050, Item 0047) provides a summary of the changes
incorporated into Version 2.1 relative to Version 2.0.
    CAP88-PC Version 3.0 is a significant update to Version 2.1.
Version 3 incorporates dose and risk factors from Federal Guidance
Report 13, ``Cancer Risk Coefficients for Environmental Exposure to
Radionuclides'' (FGR 13, Docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2002-0050, Items 0037
through 0039, also available at http://www.epa.gov/radiation/federal/techdocs.htm
), in place of the RADRISK data that was used in previous

versions. The FGR 13 factors are based on the methods in Publication 72
of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP),
``Age-Dependent Doses to Members of the Public from Intake of
Radionuclides''. In addition, the CAP88-PC database, the user
interface, input files, and output files, were modified to accommodate
the FGR 13 data formats and nomenclature. Section 1.7 of the CAP88-PC
Version 3 User's Guide (Docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2002-0050, Item 0047)
describes the modifications incorporated into Version 3 relative to
Version 2.1.

B. CAP88-PC Model Summary

    All versions of CAP-88 PC use a modified Gaussian plume equation to
estimate the average dispersion of radionuclides released from up to
six types of sources. The sources may be either elevated stacks, such
as a smokestack, or uniform area sources, such as a pile of uranium
mill tailings. Plume rise can be calculated assuming either a momentum
or buoyant-driven plume. Assessments are made for a circular grid of
distances and directions for a radius of up to 80 kilometers (50 miles)
around the source. The Gaussian plume model produces results that agree
with experimental data as well as any model, is fairly easy to work
with, and is consistent with the random nature of turbulence. Site
specific information on population locations and meteorological
conditions are provided to CAP88-PC as input files developed by the
user. The formats for these input files have not changed from the
original mainframe version of the CAP88 code package.
    There are a few differences between CAP88-PC and earlier mainframe
versions. When performing population dose assessments, CAP88-PC uses
the distances in the population array to determine the sector midpoint
distances where the code calculates concentrations. When an individual
assessment is run, the sector midpoint distances are input by the user
on the Run Option tab form. CAP88-PC only uses circular grids, whereas
the mainframe version allowed users to define a square grid. Also,
direct user input of radionuclide concentrations in each sector is not
an option in CAP88-PC.
    CAP88-PC is also modified to do either ``Radon-only'' or ``Non-
Radon'' runs to conform to the format of the 1988 Clean Air Act NESHAPs
Rulemaking. ``Radon-only'' assessments, which only have Rn-222 in the
source term, automatically include working level calculations; any
other source term ignores working levels. When performing ``Radon-
only'' runs, CAP88-PC has the capability to vary the equilibrium
fractions for the Radon daughters based on the distance from the
source; previously the equilibrium fractions were set to a constant of
0.7. Synopsis reports customized to both ``Radon Only'' and ``Non-
Radon'' formats are automatically generated. Input of any additional
radionuclides, even Rn-220, will cause CAP88-PC to omit working level
calculations. Version 3 has not changed the ``Radon Only'' methodology
relative to the previous Versions 2.0 and 2.1.
    The calculation of deposition velocity and the default scavenging
coefficient in CAP88-PC is defined by current EPA policy. Deposition
velocity is set to 3.5 x 10-\2\ (0.035) m/sec for Iodine,
1.8 x 10-\3\ (0.0018) m/sec for particulate, and 0.0 m/sec
for gas. The default scavenging coefficient is calculated as a function
of annual precipitation, which is input on the Meteorological Data tab
form. Version 3 has not modified these calculations.
    Organs and weighting factors have been modified in Version 3 to
follow the FGR 13 method. In accordance with the FGR 13 dose model, the
code now calculates dose for twenty-three (23) internal organs, rather
than the seven (7) organs used in earlier versions. A twenty-fourth
organ is also calculated, which is the total effective dose equivalent.
The code now reports cancer risk for the fifteen (15) target cancer
sites used in FGR 13. As was the case in Version 2, changing the organs
and weights will invalidate the results.

C. Validation of the CAP88-PC Model

    The CAP88-PC programs represent one of the best available validated
codes for the purpose of making comprehensive dose and risk
assessments. The Gaussian plume model used in CAP88-PC to estimate
dispersion of radionuclides in air is one of the most commonly used
models in government guidebooks. It produces results that agree with
experimental data as well as any model, is fairly easy to work with,
and is consistent with the random nature of turbulence. Version 3 has
not modified the basic Gaussian plume algorithm used by the AIRDOS
module of CAP88-PC, and comparison of cases between Versions 2 and 3
has shown no significant changes in the dispersion calculations.
    The Office of Radiation and Indoor Air has made comparisons between
the predictions of annual average ground-level concentration to actual
environmental measurements and found very good agreement. In the paper
``Comparison of AIRDOS-EPA Prediction of Ground-Level Airborne
Radionuclide Concentrations to Measured Values'' (Docket EPA-HQ-OAR-
2002-0050, Item 0048), environmental monitoring data at five DOE sites
were compared to AIRDOS-EPA predictions. EPA concluded that the
concentrations predicted by AIRDOS-EPA are in substantial agreement to
the measured concentrations, within an acceptable uncertainty level.

D. Limitations of the CAP88-PC Model

    Like all models, there are some limitations in the CAP88-PC system.
While up to six stack or area sources can be modeled, all the sources
are modeled as if located at the same point; that is, stacks cannot be
located in different areas of a facility. The same plume rise mechanism
(buoyant or momentum) is used for each source. Also, area sources are
treated as uniform. Variation in radionuclide concentrations due to
complex terrain cannot be modeled. Errors arising from these
assumptions will have a negligible effect for assessments where the
distance to exposed individuals is large compared to the stack height,
area or facility size.
    Dose and risk estimates from CAP88-PC are applicable only to low-
level chronic exposures, since the health effects and dosimetric data
are based on low-level chronic intakes. CAP88-PC cannot be used for
either short-term or high-level radionuclide intakes.
    These limitations, common to all versions of CAP88, have not
changed in Version 3.

E. Summary of CAP88-PC Changes From Version 2.1 to Version 3

    Version 3 of CAP88-PC is a significant update to Version 2.1. The
most significant change is the incorporation of the FGR 13 dose and
risk factors. FGR 13 includes both dose and risk factors for 825
isotopes rather

than the 265 previously available. The decay chains for these 825
isotopes are now modeled using a full implementation of the Bateman
decay equations to replace the predefined decay chains in previous
versions. The FGR 13 dose and risk factors also introduce new
functionality and terminology. Ingestion and inhalation factors are now
a function of the chemical form of the isotope, which is entered by the
user. The radionuclide inhalation absorption ``Class'' terminology has
been replaced by the new ``Type'' nomenclature. The new types are F
(fast), M (medium), and S (slow), analogous to the older classes D
(day), W (week), and Y (year). FGR 13 assumes a 1.0 micron size for
inhaled particles, so Version 3 sets all particle sizes to 1.0 micron.
Gas and vapor forms use a particle size of 0.0. Although not
implemented in Version 3, CAP88-PC now also contains additional
functionality that may be added in later versions, including age
dependent factors, factors for morbidity in addition to mortality, and
factors for additional exposure pathways.
    To accommodate the FGR 13 methodology, CAP88-PC Version 3 also now
calculates dose equivalent to 23 internal organs, and estimates the
risk of cancer for 15 potential cancer induction sites. Additionally,
CAP88-PC Version 3 no longer estimates genetic effects because genetic
effects are not part of the FGR 13 dose and risk factor dataset.
    The pathway transfer factors for all elements in the CAP88-PC
database have been updated in Version 3 to the values from the National
Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) report number
123, ``Screening Models for Releases of Radionuclides to Atmosphere,
Surface Water, and Ground''. This was done to ensure that all the
elements represented by the 825 isotopes in FGR 13 have appropriate
elemental transfer factors.
    CAP88-PC Version 3 still reports data in the same report structure
used by previous versions of CAP88-PC. This has been done to retain
conformance of the model to the applicable regulation, 40 CFR part 61,
subpart H. Accordingly, the dose factors used in Version 3 are the
values in FGR 13 for adults, and the risk values reported by Version 3
are those for mortality, not morbidity, although additional dose factor
sets are now included in CAP88-PC Version 3. It is important to note
that because of the extensive data modifications, Version 3 does not
allow the use of case input files created under earlier versions to be
used as input for Version 3. Previous POP and WIND files are still
usable with Version 3.
    CAP88-PC Version 3 will generate dose and risk results that differ
from those results calculated by previous versions. The primary reason
for this difference is the change in dose and risk conversion factors.
Revisions of CAP88-PC up to Version 3 used dose factors generated by
the RADRISK code, which was based upon the uptake and dose models
contained in ICRP Publications 26 and 30. Risk was calculated in the
earlier versions from dose using a constant conversion factor of 0.0004
risk per rem of whole body dose. Version 3 of CAP88-PC implements the
dose conversion factors of FGR 13, which are calculated using models
from more recent publications of the ICRP such as Publications 56, 66,
67, 69, and 71, and calculates risk using risk factors that are
specific to the isotope rather than using the conversion factor method
of previous versions. The effective dose coefficient in FGR 13 is
calculated using the tissue weighting factors of ICRP publication 60.
Dose factors in CAP88-PC Version 3 are also now in many cases a
function of the chemical form of the isotope. This functionality was
not present in previous versions of CAP88-PC.
    Dose and risk results from CAP88-PC Version 3 also will differ from
those calculated using previous versions because of a change in the
elemental transfer factors. CAP88-PC Version 3 contains isotopes
representing many more elements in the periodic table than were
represented in previous versions of CAP88-PC. A new set of elemental
transfer factors were required to support these new elements. CAP88-PC
Version 3 replaces the transfer factors from the previous version of
CAP88-PC with the factors listed in NCRP Publication 123.
    Dose and risk results calculated by CAP88-PC Version 3 may also
differ from those calculated by previous versions because Version 3
provides for a full incorporation of the decay chains for the
radioisotopes represented in FGR-13. The new decay chain representation
will most directly affect calculations that involve those radioisotopes
that were not part of the decay chains represented in the earlier
versions.
    The changes implemented in Version 3 of CAP88-PC improve the code
by bringing both the software code base and the modeling data used by
the code up to the latest standards. The updated code base makes CAP88-
PC Version 3 run faster and with greater stability on the latest
Windows platforms, and provides improved debugging and troubleshooting
tools. The updated code base also eases future coding modifications to
make code support easier. By implementing the dose and risk factor data
from FGR 13 and the elemental transport factors from NCRP 123, CAP88-PC
Version 3 now incorporates the latest dose and risk modeling data
recommended by EPA. The new data, combined with the improved methods
for calculating decay chains, provides Version 3 of CAP88 with a much
larger library of radioisotopes and a more current scientific
methodology for calculating dose and risk.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information
collection requirements in accord with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that information
is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs) is minimal,
collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA's estimate of
the information collection burden is accurate. The Occupational Safety
and Health Act of 1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) authorizes
information collection by employers as necessary or appropriate for
enforcement of the OSH Act or for developing information regarding the
causes and prevention of occupational injuries, illnesses, and
accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires that OSHA obtain
such information with minimum burden upon employers, especially those
operating small businesses, and to reduce to the maximum extent
feasible unnecessary duplication of efforts in obtaining information
(29 U.S.C. 657).
    The information collection requirements specified in the 4,4'-
Methylenedianiline Standard for Construction (the ``MDA Standard'') (29
CFR 1926.60) protect workers from the adverse health effects that may
result from their exposure to MDA, including cancer, liver and skin
disease. The major paperwork requirements specify that employers must
perform initial, periodic, and additional exposure

monitoring; notify each worker in writing of their results, as soon as
possible but no longer than 5 days after receiving exposure monitoring
results; and routinely inspect the hands, face, and forearms of each
worker potentially exposed to MDA for signs of dermal exposure to MDA.
Employers must also: establish a written compliance program; institute
a respiratory protection program in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.134
(OSHA's Respiratory Protection Standard); and develop a written
emergency plan for any construction operation that could have an
emergency (i.e., an unexpected and potentially hazardous release of
MDA).
    Employers must label any material or products containing MDA,
including containers used to store MDA-contaminated protective clothing
and equipment. They also must inform personnel who launder MDA-
contaminated clothing of the requirement to prevent release of MDA,
while personnel who launder or clean MDA-contaminated protective
clothing or equipment must receive information about the potentially
harmful effects of MDA. In addition, employers are to post warning
signs at entrances or accessways to regulated areas, as well as train
workers exposed to MDA at the time of their initial assignment, and at
least annually thereafter.
    Other paperwork provisions of the MDA Standard require employers to
provide workers with medical examinations, including initial, periodic,
emergency and follow-up examinations. As part of the medical
surveillance program, employers must ensure that the examining
physician receives specific written information, and that they obtain
from the physician a written opinion regarding the worker's medical
results and exposure limitations.
    The MDA Standard also specifies that employers are to establish and
maintain exposure monitoring and medical surveillance records for each
worker who is subject to these respective requirements, make any
required record available to OSHA compliance officers and the National
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) for examination
and copying, and provide exposure monitoring and medical surveillance
records to workers and their designated representatives.

II. Special Issues for Comment

    OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:
     Whether the proposed information collection requirements
are necessary for the proper performance of the Agency's functions,
including whether the information is useful;
     The accuracy of OSHA's estimate of the burden (time and
costs) of the information collection requirements, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     The quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and
     Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply;
for example, by using automated or other technological information
collection and transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions

    The Agency is requesting that it retain its previous burden hour
request of 1,029 hours. As reported by the Consumer Price Index (CPI)
there was a 9.1% inflation from 2007 to 2010. Therefore, there is an
overall increase in capital costs of $5,640 (from $62,838 to $68,478).
This adjustment is a result of an increase in the estimated cost of
medical examinations from $168 to $183. Also, there is an increase in
the estimated cost of laboratory airborne sample analysis from $107 to
$117.
    The Agency will summarize the comments submitted in response to
this notice and will include this summary in the request to OMB to
extend the approval of the information collection requirements
contained in the Standard.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Title: 4,4'- Methylenedianiline in Construction Standard (29 CFR
1926.60).
    OMB Control Number: 1218-0183.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profits; Not-for-profit
organizations; Federal Government; State, Local, or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 330.
    Total Responses: 2,631.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Average Time per Response: Varies from 5 minutes (.08 hour) for
employers to provide information to the physician to 2 hours for
initial monitoring.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 1,029.
    Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $68,478.
