Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain The Boeing Company Model 737-800 and -900ER series airplanes.
This AD was prompted by reports that several of the fittings that
provide attachment between the radome and fuselage were cracked to the
point of failure on airplanes modified in accordance with a certain
supplemental type certificate (STC). This AD requires demodification of
the STC installation on the airplane by removing the external equipment
installed during the STC modification (including the radome, antenna,
and associated structure), installing doubler and fasteners, and system
deactivation by pulling and collaring associated circuit breakers if
installed. This AD also requires inspecting the external and feed-
through doublers, intercostals, skin, and frames in the area around the
removed external equipment for cracking, and repair if necessary. The
FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

DATES: This AD is effective August 17, 2021.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of August 17,
2021.
    The FAA must receive comments on this AD by October 1, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA has received reports indicating that several of the
fittings that provide attachment between the radome and fuselage were
cracked to the point of failure. The radome to fuselage fittings were
part of the ViaSat In-Flight Connectivity (IFC) System Antenna
Provisions installed in accordance with FAA STC ST04096CH on Model 737-
800 and -900ER series airplanes. This failure of the attachment
fittings, if not addressed, could result in loss of the radome and
antennae, and consequent damage to the tail and damage to the fuselage
in the vicinity of the radome, which could reduce the ability of the
flightcrew to maintain safe flight and landing of the airplane. The FAA
is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

FAA's Determination

    The FAA is issuing this AD because the agency has determined the
unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop in
other products of the same type design.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Astronics Armstrong Aerospace Engineering Order,
``ViaSat In-Flight Connectivity (IFC) System DE-MOD Boeing 737-800/-
900ER Series Aircraft,'' Document No. EO23-9642-02, Revision B, dated
April 25, 2016. This service information specifies procedures for
demodification of the STC installation by removing the external
equipment (including radome, antenna, and associated structure) that
was installed in accordance with FAA STC ST04096CH, and installing
doubler and fasteners (de-mod kit), and system deactivation by pulling
and collaring associated circuit breakers.
    The FAA also reviewed Astronics Connectivity Systems and
Certification Service Bulletin SB44-9642-01, dated July 8, 2021. This
service information specifies procedures for inspecting the external
and feed-through doublers, intercostals, skin, and frames in the area
around the removed external equipment for cracking. The inspections
include an external low frequency eddy current (LFEC) inspection of the
skin at the alteration installation area, doubler fastener holes in the
first two rows of attachments between the doubler and fuselage skin,
fastener and connector hole locations, the external doublers between
fasteners at the area common to the stringers, and at the area common
to the frame tees; an internal high frequency eddy current (HFEC)
inspection of the intercostal at the fastener locations and the frames
in the area of added frame segments; an internal detailed visual
inspection of the frames between stringers 3L and 3R; an open hole HFEC
rotating hole inspections of the stringer fastener holes where the
doublers cover the stringer; a HFEC open-hole inspection of the 4X
fitting base holes common to the external doublers at the 8X AR240-
1949-01 side fitting assembly locations; and an external HFEC
inspection of the skin at the stringer fasteners, including all
stringer fasteners which may be covered beneath the radome and adapter
ring.
    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.

AD Requirements

    This AD requires accomplishing the actions specified in the service
information already described. This AD also requires repairing any
crack found during the inspections.

Justification for Immediate Adoption and Determination of the Effective
Date

    Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 551 et seq.) authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and
comment procedures for rules when the agency, for ``good cause,'' finds
that those procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to
the public interest.'' Under this section, an agency, upon finding good
cause, may issue a final rule without providing notice and seeking
comment prior to issuance. Further, section 553(d) of the APA
authorizes agencies to make rules effective in less than thirty days,
upon a finding of good cause.
    There are currently no U.S.-registered airplanes affected by this
AD. Accordingly, notice and opportunity for prior public comment are
unnecessary, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3). In addition, for the
foregoing reason(s), the FAA finds that good cause exists pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 553(d) for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written data, views, or arguments
about this final rule. Send your comments to an address listed under
ADDRESSES. Include Docket No. FAA-2021-0670 and Project Identifier AD-
2021-00849-T at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the final rule, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this final rule because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The agency will also post a report summarizing each
substantive verbal contact received about this final rule.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this AD contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this AD, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this AD. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to
Surinder Sangha, Aerospace Engineer, Propulsion & Program Management
Section, FAA, Chicago ACO Branch, Room 107, 2300 East Devon Avenue, Des
Plaines, IL 60018; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax<PHONE_NUMBER>; email:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Any commentary that the FAA receives that is
not specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the public docket
for this rulemaking.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) do not
apply when an agency finds good cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt
a rule without prior notice and comment. Because the FAA has determined
that it has good cause to adopt this rule without notice and comment,
RFA analysis is not required.

Costs of Compliance

    Currently, there are no affected U.S.-registered airplanes. For any
affected airplane that is imported and placed on the U.S. Register in
the future, the FAA provides the following cost estimates to comply
with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs

                                                 $680.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA has received no definitive data on which to base the cost
estimates for the on-condition repairs specified in 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.
    The FAA is 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, and
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska.

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31458; Amdt. No. 4035]

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 removes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPS) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure procedures (ODPs) 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 9, 2022. 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 9, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

Availability

    All SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs are available online free
of charge. Visit the National Flight Data Center at nfdc.faa.gov to
register. Additionally, individual SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP
copies may be obtained from the FAA Air Traffic Organization Service
Area in which the affected airport is located.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends 14 CFR part 97 by
establishing, amending, suspending, or removes SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums
and/or ODPS. The complete regulatory description of each SIAP and its
associated Takeoff Minimums or ODP for an identified airport is listed
on FAA form documents which are incorporated by reference in this
amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR part 97.20.
The applicable FAA Forms 8260-3, 8260-4, 8260-5, 8260-15A, 8260-15B,
when required by an entry on 8260-15A, and 8260-15C.
    The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, their complex
nature, and the need for a special format make publication in the
Federal Register expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use
the regulatory text of the SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead
refer to their graphic depiction on charts printed by publishers or
aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages of incorporation by
reference are realized and publication of the complete description of
each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on FAA form documents is
unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and
specifies the typed of SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with their
applicable effective dates. This amendment also identifies the airport
and its location, the procedure, and the amendment number.

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

    The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section.
    The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPS, Takeoff
Minimums and/or ODPs as identified in the amendatory language for Part
97 of this final rule.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as amended in the
transmittal. Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and textual ODP amendments
may have been issued previously by the FAA in a Flight Data Center
(FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate
flights safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that created the need for some SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments may require making them effective in less
than 30 days. For the remaining SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, an
effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided.
    Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPs and
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied to the
conditions existing or anticipated at the affected airports. Because of
the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and
public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and contrary
to the public interest and, where applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d),
good cause exists for making some SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    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.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-11428-01-OLEM]

Forty-Fourth Update of the Federal Agency Hazardous Waste
Compliance Docket

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Since 1988, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has
maintained a Federal Agency Hazardous Waste Compliance Docket
(``Docket'') under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). CERCLA requires EPA to
establish a Docket that contains certain information reported to EPA by
Federal facilities that manage hazardous waste or from which a
reportable quantity of hazardous substances has been released. This
notice identifies the Federal facilities not previously listed on the
Docket and identifies Federal facilities reported to EPA since the last
update on April 24, 2023. In addition to the list of additions to the
Docket, this notice includes a section with revisions of the previous
Docket list and a section of Federal facilities that are to be deleted
from the Docket. Thus, the revisions in this update include three
additions, two deletions, and zero corrections to the Docket since the
previous update.

DATES: This list is current as of September 18, 2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Electronic versions of the Docket and
more information on its implementation can be obtained at https://www.epa.gov/fedfac/federal-agency-hazardous-waste-compliance-docket by
clicking on the link for Cleanups at Federal Facilities or by
contacting Jonathan Tso ([email protected]), Federal Agency
Hazardous Waste Compliance Docket Coordinator, Federal Facilities
Restoration and Reuse Office. Additional information on the Docket and
a complete list of Docket sites can be obtained at: https://www.epa.gov/fedfac/federal-agency-hazardous-waste-compliance-docket-1.

1.0 Introduction

    Section 120(c) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9620(c), as amended by the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), requires
EPA to establish the Federal Agency Hazardous Waste Compliance Docket.
The Docket contains information on Federal facilities that manage
hazardous waste and such information is submitted by Federal agencies
to EPA under sections 3005, 3010, and 3016 of the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA), 42 U.S.C. 6925, 6930, and 6937. Additionally,
the Docket contains information on Federal facilities with a reportable
quantity of hazardous substances that has been released and such
information is submitted by Federal agencies to EPA under section 103
of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9603. Specifically, RCRA section 3005 establishes
a permitting system for certain hazardous waste treatment, storage, and
disposal (TSD) facilities; RCRA section 3010 requires waste generators,
transporters and TSD facilities to notify EPA of their

hazardous waste activities; and RCRA section 3016 requires Federal
agencies to submit biennially to EPA an inventory of their Federal
hazardous waste facilities. CERCLA section 103(a) requires the owner or
operator of a vessel or onshore or offshore facility to notify the
National Response Center (NRC) of any spill or other release of a
hazardous substance that equals or exceeds a reportable quantity (RQ),
as defined by CERCLA section 101. Additionally, CERCLA section 103(c)
requires facilities that have ``stored, treated, or disposed of''
hazardous wastes and where there is ``known, suspected, or likely
releases'' of hazardous substances to report their activities to EPA.
    CERCLA section 120(d) requires EPA to take steps to assure that a
Preliminary Assessment (PA) be completed for those sites identified in
the Docket and that the evaluation and listing of sites with a PA be
completed within a reasonable time frame. The PA is designed to provide
information for EPA to consider when evaluating the site for potential
response action or inclusion on the National Priorities List (NPL).
    The Docket serves three major purposes: (1) To identify all Federal
facilities that must be evaluated to determine whether they pose a
threat to human health and the environment sufficient to warrant
inclusion on the National Priorities List (NPL); (2) to compile and
maintain the information submitted to EPA on such facilities under the
provisions listed in section 120(c) of CERCLA; and (3) to provide a
mechanism to make the information available to the public. Previous
Docket updates are available at https://www.epa.gov/fedfac/previous-federal-agency-hazardous-waste-compliance-docket-updates.
    This notice provides some background information on the Docket.
Additional information on the Docket requirements and implementation
are found in the Docket Reference Manual, Federal Agency Hazardous
Waste Compliance Docket found at http://www.epa.gov/fedfac/docket-reference-manual-federal-agency-hazardous-waste-compliance-docket-interim-final or obtained by calling the Regional Docket Coordinators
listed below. This notice also provides changes to the list of sites
included on the Docket in three areas: (1) Additions, (2) Deletions,
and (3) Corrections. Specifically, additions are newly identified
Federal facilities that have been reported to EPA since the last update
and now are included on the Docket; the deletions section lists Federal
facilities that EPA is deleting from the Docket.\1\ The information
submitted to EPA on each Federal facility is maintained in the Docket
repository located in the EPA Regional office of the Region in which
the Federal facility is located; for a description of the information
required under those provisions, see 53 FR 4280 (February 12, 1988).
Each repository contains the documents submitted to EPA under the
reporting provisions and correspondence relevant to the reporting
provisions for each Federal facility.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See section 3.2 for the criteria for being deleted from the
Docket.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In prior updates, information was also provided regarding No
Further Remedial Action Planned (NFRAP) status changes. However,
information on NFRAP and NPL status is no longer being provided
separately in the Docket update as it is now available at: http://www.epa.gov/fedfacts/federal-facility-cleanup-sites-searchable-list or
by contacting the EPA HQ Docket Coordinator at the address provided in
the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice.

3.0 Revisions of the Previous Docket

    This section includes a discussion of the additions, deletions and
corrections to the list of Docket facilities since the previous Docket
update.

3.1 Additions

    These Federal facilities are being added primarily because of new
information obtained by EPA (for example, recent reporting of a
facility pursuant to RCRA sections 3005, 3010, or 3016 or CERCLA
section 103). CERCLA section 120, as amended by the Defense
Authorization Act of 1997, specifies that EPA take steps to assure that
a Preliminary Assessment (PA) be completed within a reasonable time
frame for those Federal facilities that are included on the Docket.
Among other things, the PA is designed to provide information for EPA
to consider when evaluating the site for potential response action or
listing on the NPL. This notice includes three additions.

3.2 Deletions

    There are no statutory or regulatory provisions that address
deletion of a facility from the Docket. However, if a facility is
incorrectly included on the Docket, it may be deleted from the Docket.
The criteria EPA uses in deleting sites from the Docket include: a
facility for which there was an incorrect report submitted for
hazardous waste activity under RCRA (e.g., 40 CFR 262.44); a facility
that was not Federally-owned or operated at the time of the listing; a
facility included more than once (i.e., redundant listings); or when
multiple facilities are combined under one listing. (See Docket Codes
(Reasons for Deletion of Facilities) for a more refined list of the
criteria EPA uses for deleting sites from the Docket.) Facilities being
deleted no longer will be subject to the requirements of CERCLA section
120(d). This notice includes two deletions.

3.3 Corrections

    Changes necessary to correct the previous Docket are identified by
both EPA and Federal agencies. The corrections section may include
changes in addresses or spelling, and corrections of the recorded name
and ownership of a Federal facility. In addition, changes in the names
of Federal facilities may be made to establish consistency in the
Docket or between the Superfund Enterprise Management System (SEMS) and
the Docket. For the Federal facility for which a correction is entered,
the original entry is as it appeared in previous Docket updates. The
corrected update is shown directly below, for easy

comparison. This notice includes zero corrections.

4.0 Process for Compiling the Updated Docket

    In compiling the newly reported Federal facilities for the update
being published in this notice, EPA extracted the names, addresses, and
identification numbers of facilities from four EPA databases--the
WebEOC, the Biennial Inventory of Federal Agency Hazardous Waste
Activities, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Information
System (RCRAInfo), and SEMS--that contain information about Federal
facilities submitted under the four provisions listed in CERCLA section
120(c).
    EPA assures the quality of the information on the Docket by
conducting extensive evaluation of the current Docket list and contacts
the other Federal Agency (OFA) with the information obtained from the
databases identified above to determine which Federal facilities were,
in fact, newly reported and qualified for inclusion on the update. EPA
is also striving to correct errors for Federal facilities that were
previously reported. For example, state-owned or privately-owned
facilities that are not operated by the Federal government may have
been included. Such problems are sometimes caused by procedures
historically used to report and track Federal facilities data.
Representatives of Federal agencies are asked to contact the EPA HQ
Docket Coordinator at the address provided in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice if revisions of this update
information are necessary.

5.0 Facilities Not Included

    Certain categories of facilities may not be included on the Docket,
such as: (1) Federal facilities formerly owned by a Federal agency that
at the time of consideration was not Federally-owned or operated; (2)
Federal facilities that are small quantity generators (SQGs) that have
not, more than once per calendar year, generated more than 1,000 kg of
hazardous waste in any single month; (3) Federal facilities that are
very small quantity generators (VSQGs) that have never generated more
than 100 kg of hazardous waste in any month; (4) Federal facilities
that are solely hazardous waste transportation facilities, as reported
under RCRA section 3010; and (5) Federal facilities that have mixed
mine or mill site ownership.
    An EPA policy issued in June 2003 provided guidance for a site-by-
site evaluation as to whether ``mixed ownership'' mine or mill sites,
typically created as a result of activities conducted pursuant to the
General Mining Law of 1872 and never reported under section 103(a) of
CERCLA, should be included on the Docket. For purposes of that policy,
mixed ownership mine or mill sites are those located partially on
private land and partially on public land. This policy is found at
http://www.epa.gov/fedfac/policy-listing-mixed-ownership-mine-or-mill-sites-created-result-general-mining-law-1872. The policy of not
including these facilities may change; facilities now omitted may be
added at some point if EPA determines that they should be included.

6.0 Facility NPL Status Reporting, Including NFRAP Status

    EPA tracks the NPL status of Federal facilities listed on the
Docket. An updated list of the NPL status of all Docket facilities, as
well as their NFRAP status, is available at https://www.epa.gov/fedfacts/federal-facility-cleanup-sites-searchable-list or by
contacting the EPA HQ Docket Coordinator at the address provided in the
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice. In prior
updates, information regarding NFRAP status changes was provided
separately.

7.0 Information Contained on Docket Listing

    The information is provided in three tables. The first table is a
list of additional Federal facilities that are being added to the
Docket. The second table is a list of Federal facilities that are being
deleted from the Docket. The third table is for corrections.
    The Federal facilities listed in each table are organized by the
date reported. Under each heading is listed the name and address of the
facility, the Federal agency responsible for the facility, the
statutory provision(s) under which the facility was reported to EPA,
and a code.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Each Federal facility listed in the update has been assigned
a code that indicates a specific reason for the addition or
deletion. The code precedes this list.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The statutory provisions under which a Federal facility is reported
are listed in a column titled ``Reporting Mechanism.'' Applicable
mechanisms are listed for each Federal facility: for example, Sections
3005, 3010, 3016, 103(c), or Other. ``Other'' has been added as a
reporting mechanism to indicate those Federal facilities that otherwise
have been identified to have releases or threat of releases of
hazardous substances. The National Contingency Plan at 40 CFR 300.405
addresses discovery or notification, outlines what constitutes
discovery of a hazardous substance release, and states that a release
may be discovered in several ways, including: (1) A report submitted in
accordance with section 103(a) of CERCLA, i.e., reportable quantities
codified at 40 CFR part 302; (2) a report submitted to EPA in
accordance with section 103(c) of CERCLA; (3) investigation by
government authorities conducted in accordance with section 104(e) of
CERCLA or other statutory authority; (4) notification of a release by a
Federal or state permit holder when required by its permit; (5)
inventory or survey efforts or random or incidental observation
reported by government agencies or the public; (6) submission of a
citizen petition to EPA or the appropriate Federal facility requesting
a preliminary assessment, in accordance with section 105(d) of CERCLA;
(7) a report submitted in accordance with section 311(b)(5) of the
Clean Water Act; and (8) other sources. As a policy matter, EPA
generally believes it is appropriate for Federal facilities identified
through the CERCLA discovery and notification process to be included on
the Docket.
    The complete list of Federal facilities that now make up the Docket
and the NPL and NFRAP status are available to interested parties and
can be obtained at https://www.epa.gov/fedfacts/federal-facility-cleanup-sites-searchable-list or by contacting the EPA HQ Docket
Coordinator at the address provided in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section of this notice. As of the date of this notice, the
total number of Federal facilities that appear on the Docket is 2,393.

Airworthiness Directives; Thielert Aircraft Engines GmbH (TAE)
Models TAE 125-02-99 and TAE 125-01 Reciprocating Engines

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 (MCAIs) issued by an aviation
authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAIs describe the unsafe
condition as:

    As a consequence of occurrences and service experience, Thielert
Aircraft Engines GmbH has introduced a new rail pressure control
valve part number (P/N) 05-7320-E000702 and P/N 02-7320-04100R3 and
has amended the Airworthiness Limitation Section (ALS) of the
Operation & Maintenance Manual OM-02-02 to include a replacement of
the rail pressure control valve. Failure of this part could result
in in-flight shutdowns of the engine(s).

We are proposing this AD to prevent engine in-flight shutdown, possibly
resulting in reduced control of the aircraft.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by November 18,
2009.

Discussion

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Community, has issued AD 2008-0128, dated July 9, 2008, and AD
2008-0215, dated December 5, 2008 (referred to after this as ``the
MCAIs''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products.
These MCAIs state:

    As a consequence of occurrences and service experience, Thielert
Aircraft Engines GmbH has introduced a new rail pressure control
valve P/N 05-7320-E000702 and 02-7320-04100R3 and has amended the
ALS of the Operation & Maintenance Manual OM-02-02 to include a
replacement of the rail pressure control valve. Failure of this part
could result in in-flight shutdowns of the engine(s).

You may obtain further information by examining the MCAIs in the AD
docket.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of Germany
and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to our
bilateral agreement with Germany, EASA has notified us of the unsafe
condition described in the MCAI. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all information provided by EASA and determined the unsafe
condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of
the same type design. This proposed AD would require initial and
repetitive replacements of the rail pressure control valve.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAIs or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAIs and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we have found it necessary to
reduce the initial compliance time for TAE 125-02-99 engines from
within 110 flight hours to within 100 flight hours, and for TAE 125-01
engines from within the next 3 months to within 100 flight hours. We
also have found it necessary to reference a specific repetitive
replacement compliance time for the rail pressure control valve of
within every 600 flight hours. The MCAIs instruct the operators to
follow Thielert Maintenance Manual, Chapter 5, Airworthiness
Limitations, for the repetitive compliance time. We have also found it
necessary to exclude the repetitive inspections of the alternator on
TAE 125-01 engines, as we consider these inspections as maintenance
actions. We made these changes 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.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 370 TAE 125-01 and TAE 125-02-99 reciprocating
engines installed on products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that
it would take about 1.5 work-hours per engine to comply with this
proposed AD. The average labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Required
parts would cost about $500 per engine. Based on these figures, we
estimate the cost of the proposed AD for initial replacement, on U.S.
operators to be $229,400.

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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety.

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:

Thielert Aircraft Engines GmbH: Docket No. FAA-2009-0948;
Directorate Identifier 2009-NE-30-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by November 18, 2009.

Affected Airworthiness Directives (ADs)

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Thielert Aircraft Engines GmbH (TAE)
models TAE 125-01 and TAE 125-02-99 reciprocating engines installed
in, but not limited to, Cessna 172 and Reims-built) F172 series
(EASA STC No. EASA.A.S.01527); Piper PA-28 series (EASA STC No.
EASA.A.S. 01632); APEX (Robin) DR 400 series (EASA STC No.
A.S.01380); and Diamond Aircraft Industries Models DA40 and DA42
airplanes.

Reason

    (d) As a consequence of occurrences and service experience,
Thielert Aircraft Engines GmbH has introduced a new rail pressure
control valve part number (P/N) 05-7320-E000702 and P/N 02-7320-
04100R3 and has amended the Airworthiness Limitation Section (ALS)
of the Operation & Maintenance Manual OM-02-02 to include a
replacement of the rail pressure control valve. Failure of this part
could result in in-flight shutdowns of the engine(s).

This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information
(MCAIs) issued by an aviation authority of another country to
identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. We
are issuing this AD to prevent engine in-flight shutdown, possibly
resulting in reduced control of the aircraft.

Actions and Compliance

    (e) Unless already done, do the following actions.

TAE 125-02-99 Reciprocating Engines

    (1) For TAE 125-02-99 reciprocating engines, within 100 flight
hours after the

effective date of this AD, replace the existing rail pressure
control valve with a rail pressure control valve part number (P/N)
05-7320-E000702, and modify the Vrail plug to make it compatible
with the replacement rail pressure control valve.
    (2) Guidance on the valve replacement and rail modification
specified in paragraph (e)(1) of this AD can be found in Thielert
Repair Manual RM-02-02, Chapter 73-10.08, and Chapter 39-40.08,
respectively.

TAE 125-01 Reciprocating Engines

    (3) For TAE 125-01 reciprocating engines, within 100 flight
hours after the effective date of this AD, replace the existing rail
pressure control valve with a rail pressure control valve, P/N 02-
7320-04100R3.
    (4) Guidance on the valve replacement specified in paragraph
(e)(3) of this AD can be found in Thielert Repair Manual RM-02-01,
Chapter 29.0.

TAE 125-02-99 and TAE 125-01 Engines, Repetitive Replacements of Rail
Pressure Control Valves

    (5) Thereafter, for affected TAE 125-02-99 and TAE 125-01
engines, replace the rail pressure control valve with the same P/N
valve within every 600 flight hours.

FAA AD Differences

    (f) This AD differs from the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness
Information (MCAI) and/or service information as follows:
    (1) We reduced the initial compliance time for TAE 125-02-99
reciprocating engines from within 110 flight hours to within 100
flight hours, and for TAE 125-01 reciprocating engines from within
the next 3 months to within 100 flight hours.
    (2) We require a repetitive replacement compliance time for the
rail pressure control valve of within every 600 flight hours. The
MCAIs instruct the operators to follow Thielert Maintenance Manual,
Chapter 5, Airworthiness Limitations, for the repetitive compliance
time.
    (3) We exclude the repetitive inspections of the alternator on
TAE 125-01 engines, as we consider these inspections as maintenance
actions.

Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (g) The Manager, Engine Certification Office, FAA, has the
authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the
procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19.
