CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is establishing five new fireworks displays to be
conducted during the 2017 season. These new safety zones are listed in
existing 33 CFR 164.1315. Additionally, the Coast Guard is
consolidating two fireworks display safety zones into the table in
Sec.  165.1315.
    On April 7, 2017, the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) titled, ``Safety Zone; Annual Fireworks Displays
within the Sector Columbia River Captain of the Port Zone'' (82 FR
16976). There we stated why we issued the NPRM, and invited comments on
our proposed regulatory action related to this fireworks display.
During the comment period that ended May 8, 2017, we received one
comment. There are no changes in the regulatory text of this rule from
the proposed rule in the NPRM.
    We are issuing this rule, and under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for making it effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal Register, due to the first newly
added fireworks display covered under this rule being conducted on July
4, 2017. Delaying this rule would be impractical as it would prevent
the Coast Guard from ensuring the safety of spectators and vessels
during the fireworks displays and immediate action is necessary to
prevent possible loss of life and property.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1231. The Captain of the Port Sector Columbia River has determined that
fireworks displays create hazardous conditions for the maritime public
because of the large number of vessels near the displays, as well as
the noise, falling debris, and explosions that occur during the event.
Because firework discharge sites pose a potential hazard to the
maritime public, these safety zones are necessary in order to restrict
vessel movement and reduce vessel congregation in the proximity of the
firework discharge sites.

IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule

    As noted above, we received one comment stating, ``The Coast Guard
should establish five new fireworks display safety zones at various
locations in the Sector Columbia River Captain of the Port zone. In
addition to adding new fireworks display safety zones, this proposed
rule making would consolidate existing safety zones into one regulation
and eliminate one safety zone listed in two regulations.'' In essence,
this comment restates what the rule is seeking to accomplish. There are
no changes in the regulatory text of this rule from the proposed rule
in the NPRM.
    The rule establishes five new fireworks display safety zones to
revise 33 CFR 165.1315 to include multiple locations in the Sector
Columbia River COTP Zone. The added safety zones would cover all waters
of the Oregon

coast, Tillamook Bay, the Columbia River and its tributaries, and the
Clatskanie River, within a 450 yard radius of the launch site at the
approximate locations listed in the table located in 33 CFR 165.1315.
The safety zones will be enforced at least 1 hour before and 1 hour
after the duration of the scheduled event. The duration of the zone is
intended to ensure the safety of vessels and these navigable waters
before, during, and after the scheduled fireworks display. No vessel or
person will be permitted to enter the safety zone without obtaining
permission from the COTP or a designated representative.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of
quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing
rules, and of promoting flexibility. This rule has not been designated
a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866.
Accordingly, it has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and
Budget.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration, and time-of-day of the safety zones. Vessel traffic
would be able to safely transit around these safety zones which would
impact small designated areas of the Oregon coast, Tillamook Bay, the
Columbia River and its tributaries, and the Clatskanie River for less
than 1 hour during the evening when commercial vessel traffic is
normally low. Moreover, the Coast Guard would issue a Broadcast Notice
to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the zone, and the rule
would allow vessels to seek permission to enter the zone.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard received no comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rulemaking. The Coast Guard certifies under 5
U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If
you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have made a preliminary
determination that this action is one of a category of actions that do
not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule involves safety zones that are approximately 3
hours in duration and would prohibit entry within 450 yards of the
launch sites. Normally such actions are categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of Commandant
Instruction M16475.lD. A preliminary environmental analysis checklist
and Categorical Exclusion Determination are available in the docket
where indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information
that may lead to the discovery of a significant environmental impact
from this rule.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to

coordinate protest activities so that your message can be received
without jeopardizing the safety or security of people, places or
vessels.

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

    (b) Special requirements. Fireworks barges or launch sites on land
used in locations stated in this section must display a sign. The sign
will be affixed to the port and starboard side of the barge or mounted
on a post 3 feet above ground level when on land and in close proximity
to the shoreline facing the water labeled ``FIREWORKS--DANGER--STAY
AWAY.'' This will provide on-scene notice that the safety zone is, or
will, be enforced on that day. This notice will consist of a diamond
shaped sign, 4-foot by 4-foot, with a 3-inch orange retro-reflective
border. The word ``DANGER'' will be 10-inch black block letters
centered on the sign with the words ``FIREWORKS'' and ``STAY AWAY'' in
6-inch black block letters placed above and below the word ``DANGER''
respectively on a white background. An on-scene patrol vessel may
enforce these safety zones at least 1 hour prior to the start and 1
hour after the conclusion of the fireworks display.
    (c) Notice of enforcement. These safety zones will be activated and
thus subject to enforcement, under the following conditions: The Coast
Guard must receive an Application for Marine Event for each fireworks
display; and, the Captain of the Port will cause notice of the
enforcement of these safety zones to be made by all appropriate means
to provide notice to the affected segments of the public as
practicable, in accordance with Sec.  165.7(a). The Captain of the Port
will issue a Local Notice to Mariners notifying the public of
activation and suspension of enforcement of these safety zones.
Additionally, an on-scene Patrol Commander may be appointed to enforce
the safety zones by limiting the transit of non-participating vessels
in the designated areas described in paragraph (a) of this section.
    (d) Enforcement periods. This section will be enforced at least 1
hour before and 1 hour after the duration of the event each day a barge
or launch site with a ``FIREWORKS--DANGER--STAY AWAY'' sign is located
within any of the safety zones identified in paragraph (a) of this
section and meets the criteria established in paragraphs (b) and (c) of
this section.
    (e) Regulations. In accordance with the general regulations in
subpart C of this part no person may enter or remain in the safety zone
created in this section or bring, cause to be brought, or allow to
remain in the safety zone created in this section any vehicle, vessel,
or object unless authorized by the Captain of the Port or his
designated representative. The Captain of the Port may be assisted by
other Federal, State, or local agencies with the enforcement of the
safety zone.
    (f) Authorization. All vessel operators who desire to enter the
safety zone must obtain permission from the Captain of the Port or
Designated Representative by contacting either the on-scene patrol
craft on VHF Ch 13 or Ch 16 or the Coast Guard Sector Columbia River
Command Center via telephone at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

Airworthiness Directives; Short Brothers PLC Model SD3 Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

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

    Subsequent to accidents involving Fuel Tank System explosions in
flight * * * and on ground, * * * Special Federal Aviation
Regulation 88 (SFAR88) * * * required a safety review of the
aircraft Fuel Tank System * * *.
* * * * *
    Fuel Airworthiness Limitations are items arising from a systems
safety analysis that have been shown to have failure mode(s)
associated with an `unsafe condition' * * *. These are identified in
Failure Conditions for which an unacceptable probability of ignition
risk could exist if specific tasks and/or practices are not
performed in accordance with the manufacturers' requirements.
* * * * *
    The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address
the unsafe condition described in the MCAI.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by April 29, 2010.

Discussion

    On June 5, 2006, we issued AD 2006-12-18, Amendment 39-14644 (71 FR
34801, June 16, 2006). That AD required actions intended to address an
unsafe condition on the products listed above.
    Since we issued AD 2006-12-18, we have determined that additional
limitations for fuel tank systems and Critical Design Control
Configuration Limitations (CDCCLs) are necessary. The European Aviation
Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member
States of the European Community, has issued EASA Airworthiness
Directive 2006-0198, dated July 11, 2006 (referred to after this as
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states:

    Subsequent to accidents involving Fuel Tank System explosions in
flight * * * and on ground, the FAA published Special Federal
Aviation Regulation 88 (SFAR88) in June 2001. SFAR 88 required a
safety review of the aircraft Fuel Tank System to determine that the
design meets the requirements of FAR [Federal Aviation Regulation]
Sec.  25.901 and Sec.  25.981(a) and (b).
    A similar regulation has been recommended by the JAA [Joint
Aviation Authorities] to the European National Aviation Authorities
in JAA letter 04/00/02/07/03-L024 of 3 February 2003. The review was
requested to be mandated by NAA's [National Airworthiness
Authorities] using JAR [Joint Aviation Requirement] Sec.  25.901(c),
Sec.  25.1309.
    In August 2005 EASA published a policy statement on the process
for developing instructions for maintenance and inspection of Fuel
Tank System ignition source prevention (EASA D 2005/CPRO,
www.easa.eu.int/home/cert_policy_statements_en.html) that also
included the EASA expectations with regard to compliance times of
the corrective actions on the unsafe and the not unsafe part of the
harmonised design review results. On a global scale the TC [type
certificate] holders committed themselves to the EASA published
compliance dates (see EASA policy statement). The EASA policy
statement has been revised in March 2006: the date of 31-12-2005 for
the unsafe related actions has now been set at 01-07-2006.
    Fuel Airworthiness Limitations are items arising from a systems
safety analysis that have been shown to have failure mode(s)
associated with an `unsafe condition' as defined in FAA's memo 2003-
112-15 `SFAR 88--Mandatory Action Decision Criteria'. These are
identified in Failure Conditions for which an unacceptable
probability of ignition risk could exist if specific tasks and/or
practices are not performed in accordance with the manufacturers'
requirements.
    This EASA Airworthiness Directive mandates the Fuel System
Airworthiness Limitations, comprising maintenance/inspection tasks
and Critical Design Control Configuration Limitations (CDCCL) for
the type of aircraft, that resulted from the design reviews and the
JAA recommendation and EASA policy statement mentioned above.
    Revision History: PAD [proposed airworthiness directive] 06-
018R1 has been issued to endorse comments received for PAD 06-018
and due to the change of the EASA policy statement on fuel tank
safety on March 2006.

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

    The FAA has examined the underlying safety issues involved in fuel
tank explosions on several large transport airplanes, including the
adequacy of existing regulations, the service history of airplanes
subject to those regulations, and existing maintenance practices for
fuel tank systems. As a result of those findings, we issued a
regulation titled ``Transport Airplane Fuel Tank System Design Review,
Flammability Reduction and Maintenance and Inspection Requirements''
(66 FR 23086, May 7, 2001). In addition to new airworthiness standards
for transport airplanes and new maintenance requirements, this rule
included Special Federal Aviation Regulation No. 88 (``SFAR 88,''
Amendment 21-78, and subsequent Amendments 21-82 and 21-83).
    Among other actions, SFAR 88 requires certain type design (i.e.,
type certificate (TC) and supplemental type certificate (STC)) holders
to substantiate that their fuel tank systems can prevent ignition
sources in the fuel tanks. This requirement applies to type design
holders for large turbine-powered transport airplanes and for
subsequent modifications to those airplanes. It requires them to
perform design reviews and to develop design changes and maintenance
procedures if their designs do not meet the new fuel tank safety
standards. As explained in the preamble to the rule, we intended to
adopt airworthiness directives to mandate any changes found necessary
to address unsafe conditions identified as a result of these reviews.
    In evaluating these design reviews, we have established four
criteria intended to define the unsafe conditions associated with fuel
tank systems that require corrective actions. The percentage of
operating time during which fuel tanks are exposed to flammable
conditions is one of these criteria. The other three criteria address
the failure types under evaluation: single failures, single failures in
combination with a latent condition(s), and in-service failure
experience. For all four criteria, the evaluations included
consideration of previous actions taken that may mitigate the need for
further action.
    The Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) issued a regulation that is
similar to SFAR 88. Under that regulation, the JAA stated that all
members of the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) that hold type
certificates for transport category airplanes are required to conduct a
design review against explosion risks.
    We have determined that the actions identified in this AD are
necessary to reduce 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.

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

FAA's Determination and Requirements of this Proposed AD

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

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

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

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 54 products of U.S. registry.
    The actions that are required by AD 2006-12-18 and retained in this
proposed AD take about 41 work-hours per product, at an average labor
rate of $85 per work hour. Required parts cost about $10 per product.
Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the currently required
actions is $3,495 per product.
    We estimate that it would take about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the new basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate
the cost of the proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $4,590, or $85 per
product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

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

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, 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 removing Amendment 39-14644 (71 FR
34801, June 16, 2006) and adding the following new AD:

Short Brothers PLC: Docket No. FAA-2010-0225; Directorate Identifier
2009-NM-203-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by April 29, 2010.

Affected ADs

    (b) This AD supersedes AD 2006-12-18, Amendment 39-14644.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to all Short Brothers PLC Model SD3-60
SHERPA, SD3-SHERPA, SD3-30, and SD3-60 airplanes, certificated in
any category.

    Note 1: This AD requires revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new inspections. Compliance with
these inspections is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes
that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in the
areas addressed by these inspections, the operator may not be able
to accomplish the inspections described in the revisions. In this
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must
request approval for an alternative method of compliance according
to paragraph (l) of this AD. The request should include a
description of changes to the required inspections that will ensure
the continued damage tolerance of the affected structure. The FAA
has provided guidance for this determination in Advisory Circular
(AC) 25-1529.

Subject

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

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
    Subsequent to accidents involving Fuel Tank System explosions in
flight * * * and on ground, the FAA published Special Federal
Aviation Regulation 88 (SFAR88) in June 2001. SFAR 88 required a
safety review of the aircraft Fuel Tank System to determine that the
design meets the requirements of FAR [Federal Aviation Regulation]
Sec.  25.901 and Sec.  25.981(a) and (b).
    A similar regulation has been recommended by the JAA [Joint
Aviation Authorities] to the European National Aviation Authorities
in JAA letter 04/00/02/07/03-L024 of 3 February 2003. The review was
requested to be mandated by NAA's [National Airworthiness
Authorities] using JAR [Joint Aviation Requirement] Sec.  25.901(c),
Sec.  25.1309.
    In August 2005 EASA [European Aviation Safety Agency] published
a policy statement on the process for developing instructions for
maintenance and inspection of Fuel Tank System ignition source
prevention (EASA D 2005/CPRO, www.easa.eu.int/home/cert_policy_
statements_en.html) that also included the EASA expectations with
regard to compliance times of the corrective actions on the unsafe
and the not unsafe part of the harmonised design review results. On
a global scale the TC [type certificate] holders committed
themselves to the EASA published compliance dates (see EASA policy
statement). The EASA policy statement has been revised in March
2006: the date of 31-12-2005 for the unsafe related actions has now
been set at 01-07-2006.
    Fuel Airworthiness Limitations are items arising from a systems
safety analysis that have been shown to have failure mode(s)
associated with an `unsafe condition' as defined in FAA's memo 2003-
112-15 `SFAR 88--Mandatory Action Decision Criteria'. These are
identified in Failure Conditions for which an unacceptable
probability of ignition risk could exist if specific tasks and/or
practices are not performed in accordance with the manufacturers'
requirements.
    This EASA Airworthiness Directive mandates the Fuel System
Airworthiness Limitations, comprising maintenance/inspection tasks
and Critical Design Control Configuration Limitations (CDCCL) for
the type of aircraft, that resulted from the design reviews and the
JAA recommendation and EASA policy statement mentioned above.
    Revision History: PAD [proposed airworthiness directive] 06-
018R1 has been issued to endorse comments received for PAD 06-018
and due to the change of the EASA policy statement on fuel tank
safety on March 2006.

Compliance

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

    Note 5: The requirements of paragraph (j) of this AD may be done
by inserting a copy of the applicable TR into the applicable AMM.
When the TR has been included in general revisions of the AMM, the
general revisions may be inserted in the AMM and the TR may be
removed, provided the relevant information in the general revision
is identical to that in the TR.

    (k) After accomplishing the actions specified in paragraph (j)
of this AD, no alternative inspections, inspection intervals, or
CDCCLs may be used unless the inspections, intervals, or CDCCLs are
approved as an alternative method of compliance (AMOC), in
accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (l) of this
AD.

Explanation of CDCCL Requirements

    Note 6: Notwithstanding any other maintenance or operational
requirements, components that have been identified as airworthy or
installed on the affected airplanes before the revision of the AMM,
as required by paragraph (h) or (j) of this AD, do not need to be
reworked in accordance with the CDCCLs. However, once the AMM has
been revised, future maintenance actions on these components must be
done in accordance with the CDCCLs.
