II. Discussion of the Rule

    This technical amendment final rule updates the authority citations
for part 165 within Title 33 of the CFR. This rule adds the statutory
authority 46 U.S.C. 70124 as a regulatory authority for 33 CFR part
165. Specifically, 46 U.S.C. 70124 gives the Secretary authority to
issue regulations necessary to implement 46 U.S.C. Chapter 701. Within
Chapter 701, the delegated authority in 46 U.S.C. 70116 authorizes the
Commandant to establish safety and security zones to prevent or respond
to an act to terrorism, cyber incidents, transitional organized crime,
or foreign state threats. The Secretary has delegated this regulatory
authority to the Commandant in Department of Homeland Security
Delegation No. 00170.1(II)(71), Revision No. 01.3.
    The Frank LoBiondo Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2018 (Pub. L.
115-282, (2018)) redesignated several provisions of the Ports and
Waterways Safety Act into 46 U.S.C. chapters 700 and 701. That Act
moved 33 U.S.C. 1226 into section 46 U.S.C. 70016. Section 70116 is a
potential statutory authority we may use to establish safety and
security zones under 33 CFR part 165.
    We are adding the general regulatory authority in 46 U.S.C. 70124
to the authority citation for part 165 because 46 U.S.C. 70116(c) was
amended in 2021 under section 8341 of The William M. (Mac) Thornberry
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Pub. L. 116-
283, Jan. 1, 2021). This amendment removed the statement about section
70116 being treated as part of 46 U.S.C. chapter 700 for purposes of
rulemaking authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034. With that statement removed,
we instead rely on the regulatory authority in 46 U.S.C. 70124 for the
authorities laid out in 46 U.S.C. 70116.
    The Coast Guard periodically issues technical, organizational, and
conforming amendments to existing regulations in Title 33 of the CFR.
These technical amendments provide the public with more accurate and
current regulatory information, but do not change Title 33 of the CFR's
effect on the public.

III. Regulatory History

    We did not publish a notice of proposed rulemaking for this rule.
Under Title 5 of the United States Code (U.S.C.), Section 553(b)(A),
the Coast Guard finds that this final rule is exempt from notice and
public comment rulemaking requirements because these changes involve
rules of agency organization, procedure, or practice. This rule only
updates the authority citation where the agency lists the relevant
authorities to issue regulations in part 165 of the CFR.
    In addition, the Coast Guard finds that notice and comment
procedures are unnecessary for this final rule under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), as this rule consists of only technical and editorial
corrections and these changes will have no substantive effect on the
public. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that, for the
same reasons, good cause exists for making this final rule effective
upon publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date
of this conforming amendment is unnecessary because the change to our
statutory regulatory authorities is an agency procedural update and it
will have no impact on the public.

IV. Basis and Purpose

    This final rule makes technical and editorial corrections in 33 CFR
part 165. These changes are necessary to update the authority citations
we rely on for issuing regulations in 33 CFR part 165. This rule does
not create or change any substantive requirements for the public.
    This final rule is issued under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a)
and 553; 14 U.S.C. 102 and 503; and Department of Homeland Security
Delegation No. 00170.1(II)(71), Revision No. 01.3.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes or Executive Orders.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 (Regulatory Planning and Review) and 13563
(Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review) 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 (including potential economic, environmental, public
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). 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, this rule has not
been reviewed by OMB. This rule involves non-substantive changes and
internal agency practices and procedures; it will not impose any
additional costs on the public or the government. The qualitative
benefit of the non-substantive changes is increased clarity of
regulations and their authority. By

the adding statutory citations for all of the relevant authorities we
rely on to issue the regulated navigation area regulations, we increase
the clarity of the authorities in the CFR.

B. Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, we have
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small entities''
is comprised of 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.
    A notice of proposed rulemaking does not precede this rule.
Therefore, it is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612). The Regulatory Flexibility Act does
not apply when notice and comment rulemaking is not required.

C. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996, Public Law 104-121, we offer to assist small
entities in understanding this rule so that they can better evaluate
its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. 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.
    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).

D. Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520. This final rule
will not change any of the burdens in the collections currently
approved by OMB.

E. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132
(Federalism) if it has a substantial direct effect on 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 Executive Order 13132 and
have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.

F. 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. Although this rule will not result
in such expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

G. Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630 (Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights).

H. Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988 (Civil Justice Reform) to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

I. Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045 (Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks). This
rule is not an economically significant rule and will not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.

J. Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175 (Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments),
because it will 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.

K. Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211 (Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use). We have determined that it is not a
``significant energy action'' under that order because it is not a
``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is
not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply,
distribution, or use of energy.

L. Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act, codified as a
note to 15 U.S.C. 272, directs agencies to use voluntary consensus
standards in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides
Congress, through OMB, with an explanation of why using these standards
would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical.
Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards (e.g.,
specifications of materials, performance, design, or operation; test
methods; sampling procedures; and related management systems practices)
that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies.
    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

M. 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 concluded that this
action is one of a category of actions that do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. A
final Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this
determination is available in the docket where indicated in the
ADDRESSES section of this preamble. This final rule involves non-
substantive technical, organizational, and conforming amendments to
existing Coast Guard regulations. Therefore, this rule is categorically
excluded under paragraph L54 of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction
Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 01. Paragraph L54 pertains to regulations
which are editorial or procedural.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 165

    Harbors, Marine safety, Navigation (water), Reporting and
recordkeeping requirements, Security measures, Waterways.

    For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard amends
33 CFR part 165 as follows:

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2008-1006; Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-110-AD;
Amendment 39-15822; AD 2009-04-16]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-
200B, 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747SR, and 747SP Series Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive
(AD), which applies to certain Boeing Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-
200B, 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747SR, and 747SP series airplanes.
That AD currently requires an inspection to determine if acceptable
external skin doublers are installed at the stringer 6 (S-6) lap
splices, between station (STA) 340 and STA 400. For airplanes without
the acceptable external skin doublers, the existing AD also requires
repetitive related investigative actions and corrective actions if
necessary. The existing AD also provides an optional terminating
modification for the repetitive related investigative actions. This new
AD mandates the optional terminating modification. This AD results from
a report of cracked fastener holes at the right S-6 lap splice between
STA 340 and STA 380. We are issuing this AD to prevent cracking in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to include an AD that supersedes AD 2008-10-15, amendment
39-15522 (73 FR 29042, May 20, 2008). The existing AD applies to
certain Boeing Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-200F,
747-300, 747SR, and 747SP series airplanes. That NPRM was published in
the Federal

Register on September 23, 2008 (73 FR 54755). That NPRM proposed to
continue to require an inspection to determine if acceptable external
skin doublers are installed at the stringer 6 (S-6) lap splices,
between station (STA) 340 and STA 400. For airplanes without the
acceptable external skin doublers, that NPRM also proposed to continue
to require repetitive related investigative actions and corrective
actions if necessary. That NPRM also proposed to require a previously
optional terminating modification for the repetitive related
investigative actions.

Comments

    We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. We have considered the single comment that has
been received on the NPRM. The commenter, Boeing, concurs with the
NPRM.

Conclusion

    We have carefully reviewed the available data, including the
comment that has been received, and determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.

Costs of Compliance

    The inspection for acceptable external skin doublers that is
required by AD 2008-10-15 and retained in this AD takes about 2 work
hours per airplane, at an average labor rate of $80 per work hour.
Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the inspection for U.S.
operators is $27,840, or $160 per airplane.
    The cost for the terminating action depends on the results of the
inspections. Therefore, we cannot calculate those costs because we do
not know what doubler conditions operators will find.

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 have determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866;
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under 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 AD and placed it in the AD docket. See the ADDRESSES
section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

Adoption of the Amendment

0
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:

0
2. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) amends Sec.  39.13 by
removing amendment 39-15522 (73 FR 29042, May 20, 2008) and by adding
the following new airworthiness directive (AD):

2009-04-16 Boeing: Amendment 39-15822. Docket No. FAA-2008-1006;
Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-110-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This AD becomes effective April 2, 2009.

Affected ADs

    (b) This AD supersedes AD 2008-10-15.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Boeing Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-200B,
747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747SR, and 747SP series airplanes,
certificated in any category; as identified in Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 747-53A2748, dated May 9, 2008.

Unsafe Condition

    (d) This AD results from a report of cracked fastener holes at
the right stringer 6 (S-6) lap splice between station (STA) 340 and
STA 380. We are issuing this AD to prevent cracking in the fuselage
skin, which could result in rapid decompression and loss of
structural integrity of the airplane.

Compliance

    (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.

Requirements of AD 2008-10-15

Service Bulletin Reference Paragraph

    (f) The term ``alert service bulletin,'' as used in this AD,
means the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 747-53A2748, dated May 9, 2008.

Inspection for Acceptable External Skin Doublers

    (g) For airplanes identified as Group 1, Configuration 2, in
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-53A2748, dated May 9, 2008: At the
latest of the times specified in paragraphs (g)(1), (g)(2), and
(g)(3) of this AD, do an external general visual inspection to
determine if acceptable external skin doublers are installed at the
left- and right-side S-6 lap splices, in accordance with Part 1 of
the alert service bulletin.
    (1) Prior to the accumulation of 10,000 total flight cycles.
    (2) Within 8,000 flight cycles after a modification was done in
accordance with Boeing Service Bulletin 747-53-2253.
    (3) Within 15 days or 100 flight cycles after May 20, 2008 (the
effective date of AD 2008-10-15), whichever occurs first.

Acceptable External Skin Doublers Found at Both Sides

    (h) If, during the inspection required by paragraph (g) of this
AD, acceptable external skin doublers in accordance with the alert
service bulletin are found installed at both the left- and right-
side S-6 lap splices, no further work is required by this AD.

Acceptable External Skin Doublers Not Found--Repetitive Related
Investigative Actions and Corrective Actions

    (i) If, during the inspection required by paragraph (g) of this
AD, acceptable external skin doublers in accordance with alert
service bulletin are not found installed at either the left- or
right-side S-6 lap splice: Before further flight, do all applicable
related investigative and corrective actions by doing all actions
specified in Part 2 of the alert service bulletin. Repeat the
applicable related investigative actions thereafter at intervals not
to exceed 300 flight cycles until the modification specified in
paragraph (j) of this AD is done.

New Requirement of This AD

Terminating Modification

whichever occurs later, install acceptable external skin doublers at
both the left- and right-side S-6 lap splices, as applicable. The
installation of the acceptable skin doublers is required on the side
of the airplane that does not have the acceptable doublers already.
The installation includes doing an open-hole high-frequency eddy
current (HFEC) inspection of the skin for cracking, and trimming out
cracking as applicable. Do all actions in accordance with the alert
service bulletin. Doing this installation terminates the repetitive
related investigative actions required by paragraph (i) of this AD.

    Note 1: The alert service bulletin refers to Boeing Service

of the Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of
the Lake 3160 Hydroelectric Project (project) to be located on Lake
3160 near Juneau in Juneau Borough, Alaska. The sole purpose of a
preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the permit holder priority
to file a license application during the permit term. A preliminary
permit does not authorize the permit holder to perform any land-
disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands

or waters owned by others without the owners' express permission. The
project would occupy about 475 acres of lands within the Tongass
National Forest managed by the U.S. Forest Service.
    The proposed project would use the existing natural lake named Lake
3160 with a surface area of 451 acres, storage capacity of 19,710 acre-
feet, and normal water surface elevation of 3,160 feet above mean sea
level; and consist of the following new facilities: (1) A siphon
intake, directional bore, or 20-foot-high concrete dam with either
intakes at the exit of Lake 3160; (2) an above-ground 8,800-feet-long,
20- to 24-inch-diameter penstock; (3) a powerhouse containing one or
two generating units with a total installed capacity of 4.995
megawatts; (4) an open-channel tailrace discharging flows to Evelyn
Lake; (5) a 7.6-mile-long, 14.4/24.9-kilovolt overhead, underground, or

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2012-1001; Directorate Identifier 2012-NM-020-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Cessna Aircraft Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM); reopening of
comment period.

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

SUMMARY: We are revising an earlier proposed airworthiness directive
(AD) for certain Cessna Aircraft Company Model 500, 501, 550, 551,
S550, 560, 560XL, and 650 airplanes. That NPRM proposed to require an
inspection to determine if certain air conditioning (A/C) compressor
motors are installed and to determine the accumulated hours on certain
A/C drive motor assemblies; repetitive replacement of the brushes in
the drive motor assembly, or as an option to the brush replacement,
deactivation of the A/C system and placard installation; and return of
replaced brushes to Cessna. That NPRM was prompted by multiple reports
of smoke and/or fire in the tailcone caused by sparking due to
excessive wear of the brushes in the A/C motor. This action revises
that NPRM by revising the optional A/C system deactivation procedure.
We are proposing this supplemental NPRM to prevent the brushes in the
A/C motor from wearing down beyond their limits, which could result in
the rivet in the brush contacting the commutator causing sparks and
consequent fire and/or smoke in the tailcone with no means to detect or
extinguish the fire and/or smoke. Since these actions impose an
additional burden over that proposed in the NPRM, we are reopening the
comment period to allow the public the chance to comment on these
proposed changes.

DATES: We must receive comments on this supplemental NPRM by March 28,
2013.

Discussion

    We issued an NPRM to amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that
would apply to the products listed above. That NPRM published in the
Federal Register on September 26, 2012 (77 FR 59146). That NPRM
proposed to require an inspection to determine the accumulated hours on
certain A/C drive motor assemblies; repetitive replacement of the
brushes in the drive motor assembly, or as an option to the brush
replacement, deactivation of the air conditioner; and return of
replaced brushes to Cessna.

Actions Since Previous NPRM (77 FR 59146, September 26, 2012) Was
Issued

    Since we issued the previous NPRM (77 FR 59146, September 26,
2012), Cessna has revised the A/C system deactivation procedure.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to comment on the previous NPRM
(77 FR 59146, September 26, 2012). The following presents the comments
received on the NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment.

Request To Change A/C System Deactivation Procedure

    Cessna requested that we change the A/C system deactivation
procedure specified in paragraph (j)(1) of the previous NPRM (77 FR
59146, September 26, 2012), because simply pulling the circuit breaker
does not disable the A/C compressor motor for Model 560XL airplanes,
and the circuit breaker labeling differs depending on the airplane
model. Cessna stated that the vapor cycle A/C circuit breaker labeled
``AIR COND'' for Model 500, 501, 550, 551, S550, and 560 airplanes
should be pulled, and the vapor cycle A/C circuit breaker labeled ``FWD
EVAP FAN'' for Model 650 airplanes should be pulled. Cessna also stated
that, for Model 560XL airplanes, deactivation of the A/C system
requires removing a

certain fuse limiter. Cessna suggested a procedure to remove that fuse
limiter.
    We agree with the commenter's request because the new procedure is
more appropriate to address the identified unsafe condition. We have
changed paragraph (k) of the supplemental NPRM (i.e., paragraph (j) of
the previous NPRM) to specify the correct A/C system deactivation
procedure. We have also added new paragraph (l) to this supplemental
NPRM, which specifies the optional reactivation procedure for the A/C
system, and re-identified subsequent paragraphs accordingly.

Request To Extend Compliance Time

    Netjets Aviation Inc. (Netjets) requested that we extend the
inspection compliance time in paragraph (h) of the NPRM (77 FR 59146,
September 26, 2012) from within 30 days or 10 flight hours, whichever
occurs first, to within 90 days or 60 flight hours, whichever occurs
first. Netjets stated that it operates 29 airplanes affected by the
NPRM, which average 62 flight hours per month per airplane, and the
compliance time in the NPRM poses an undue burden. Netjets also stated
that extending the proposed compliance time would allow time to
schedule maintenance personnel and material to support each airplane
without compromising safety.
    We do not agree with the commenter's request to extend the
compliance time. In developing an appropriate compliance time for this
action, we considered the urgency and severity associated with the
identified unsafe condition. In light of these considerations, we find
the proposed compliance time to be appropriate to address the
identified unsafe condition and provide an adequate level of safety.
However, under the provisions of paragraph (q) of this supplemental
NPRM, we might consider requests for approval of an extension of the
compliance time if sufficient data are submitted to substantiate that
the new compliance time would provide an acceptable level of safety. We
have not changed this supplemental NPRM in this regard.

Request To Change A/C Compressor Motor Brush Replacement Time

    Netjets requested we specify that the repetitive 500 hours time-in-
service A/C compressor motor brush replacement may be done ``in a
scheduled inspection based on the Cessna 560 chapter 5 inspection
programs.'' Netjets stated that this change would allow a more robust
and systematic approach to scheduling brush replacement.
    We disagree with the commenter's request to change the repetitive
500 hours time-in-service A/C compressor motor brush replacement time.
The 500 hours time-in-service replacement period is based on data
collected from the field. This supplemental NPRM would require
reporting for the first two replacement cycles. The intent of this
proposed requirement is to obtain further field data to determine if
the replacement period might be extended through future rulemaking.
However, under the provisions of paragraph (q) of the supplemental
NPRM, we might consider requests for changing the repetitive 500 hours
time-in-service A/C compressor motor brush replacement period if
sufficient data are submitted to substantiate that the change would
provide an acceptable level of safety. We have not changed the
supplemental NPRM in this regard.

Request To Use Later Revisions of Service Documents

    Cessna requested that we change the document revision references in
paragraph (i)(3) of the previous NPRM (77 FR 59146, September 26, 2012)
to refer to the specified revision level ``or later revisions.'' Cessna
stated that referencing only a specific revision level will cause
confusion for maintenance personnel when the manuals are updated with a
newer revision and date. Cessna also stated that its customer support
receives calls from maintenance personnel requesting old revisions of a
manual due to ADs requiring an exact revision and that old revisions
are not available.
    We acknowledge this concern, but cannot agree with the commenter's
request to include unspecified later document revisions. When referring
to a specific document in an AD, using the phrase, ``or later FAA-
approved revisions,'' violates Office of the Federal Register
regulations for approving materials that are incorporated by reference.
However, affected operators may request approval to use a later
revision of the referenced service document as an alternative method of
compliance under the provisions of paragraph (q) of the supplemental
NPRM. We have not changed the supplemental NPRM in this regard.

Request To Investigate Other A/C Motor Assemblies

    An anonymous commenter requested that we investigate other A/C
drive motor assemblies, because these motors are quite difficult to get
to and are often overlooked. The commenter also stated that there are
other supplemental type certificates (STCs) for the Cessna Citation
that use a similar motor to the motor identified in the previous NPRM
(77 FR 59146, September 26, 2012).
    We infer that the commenter wants us to investigate if there are
other unsafe conditions occurring in other A/C motor assemblies used in
the airplanes identified in this supplemental NPRM. We acknowledge the
commenter's concern. We only have event reports pertaining to the A/C
motors addressed by this supplemental NPRM. If an additional unsafe
condition is determined to exist on other A/C motors, we might consider
future rulemaking. We have not changed this supplemental NPRM in this
regard.

Request To Clarify ``Proposed AD Requirements''

    Cessna requested that we clarify the statement in the ``Proposed AD
Requirements'' paragraph of the previous NPRM (77 FR 59146, September
26, 2012) regarding motor brush replacement. Cessna suggested that the
wording be changed from ``prohibiting use of the A/C system until
replacement of the brushes as an option to the brush replacement'' to
``prohibiting use of the A/C system until replacement of the brushes is
accomplished.''
    We agree with the commenter's request because the suggested wording
improves the clarity of the proposed actions. We have changed the
``Proposed Requirements of the Supplemental NPRM'' paragraph of this
supplemental NPRM accordingly.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this supplemental NPRM because we evaluated all
the relevant information and determined the unsafe condition described
previously is likely to exist or develop in other products of the same
type design. Certain changes described above expand the scope of the
original NPRM (77 FR 59146, September 26, 2012). As a result, we have
determined that it is necessary to reopen the comment period to provide
additional opportunity for the public to comment on this supplemental
NPRM.

Proposed Requirements of the Supplemental NPRM

    This supplemental NPRM would require an inspection to determine if
certain A/C compressor motors are installed; an inspection of the A/C
compressor hour meter that has part number (P/N) 1134104-1 or P/N
1134104-5 A/C compressor motors installed; repetitive replacement of
the brushes, or as an option to the brush replacement, deactivation of
the A/C

system with installation of a placard prohibiting use of the A/C system
until replacement of the brushes is accomplished. This supplemental AD
would also require, when the brushes are replaced, reporting of
airplane information related to the replacement of the brushes, and
sending the replaced motor brushes to the Cessna Aircraft Company for
two replacement cycles.

Interim Action

    We consider this supplemental NPRM interim action. The reporting
data required by this supplemental NPRM will enable us to obtain better
insight into brush wear. The reporting data will also indicate if the
replacement intervals we established are adequate. After we analyze the
reporting data received, we might consider further rulemaking.
    Model 525 airplanes are not subject to this supplemental NPRM. We
are currently considering requiring similar actions for these
airplanes.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD will affect 1,987 airplanes of
U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed 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

    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),
    (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

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):

Cessna Aircraft Company: Docket No. FAA-2012-1001; Directorate
Identifier 2012-NM-020-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by March 28, 2013.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(d) Subject

    Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)/Air Transport Association
(ATA) of America Code 21, Air Conditioning.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by multiple reports of smoke and/or fire in
the tailcone caused by sparking due to excessive wear of the brushes
in the air conditioning (A/C) motor. We are issuing this AD to
prevent the brushes in the A/C motor from wearing down, which could
result in the rivet in the brush contacting the commutator causing
sparks and consequent fire and/or smoke in the tailcone with no
means to detect or extinguish the fire and/or smoke.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Inspection for Part Number (P/N)

    Within 30 days or 10 flight hours after the effective date of
this AD, whichever occurs first: Inspect the A/C compressor motor to

determine whether P/N 1134104-1 or P/N 1134104-5 is installed. A
review of airplane maintenance records is acceptable in lieu of this
inspection if the part number of the A/C compressor motor can be
conclusively determined from that review.

(h) Inspection of Compressor Hour Meter and Maintenance Records

    If, during the inspection required by paragraph (g) of this AD,
any A/C compressor motor is found having P/N 1134104-1 or P/N
1134104-5: Within 30 days or 10 flight hours after the effective
date of this AD, whichever occurs first, determine the hour reading
on the A/C compressor hour meter as specified in paragraphs (h)(1)
and (h)(2) of this AD.
    (1) Inspect the number of hours on the A/C compressor hour
meter; and
    (2) Check the airplane logbook for any entry for replacing the
A/C compressor motor brushes with new brushes, or for replacing the
compressor motor or compressor condenser module assembly (pallet)
with a motor or assembly that has new brushes.
    (i) If the logbook contains an entry for replacement of parts,
as specified in paragraph (h)(2) of this AD, determine the number of
hours on the A/C compressor motor brushes by comparing the number of
hours on the compressor motor since replacement and use this number
in lieu of the number determined in paragraph (h)(1) of this AD. Or
    (ii) If, through the logbook check you cannot positively
determine the number of hours on the A/C compressor motor brushes,
as specified in paragraph (h)(2) of this AD, use the number of hours
on the A/C compressor hour meter determined in paragraph (h)(1) of
this AD or presume the brushes have over 500 hours time-in-service.

(i) Replacement

    Using the hour reading on the A/C compressor hour meter
determined in paragraph (h) of this AD, replace the A/C compressor
motor brushes with new brushes at the later of the times specified
in paragraphs (i)(1) and (i)(2) of this AD. Thereafter, repeat the
replacement of the A/C compressor motor brushes at intervals not to
exceed 500 hours time-in-service on the A/C compressor motor. Do the
replacement in accordance with the applicable Cessna maintenance
manual subject specified in paragraphs (j)(1) through (j)(7) of this
AD.
    (1) Before the accumulation of 500 total hours time-in-service
on the A/C compressor motor.
    (2) Before further flight after doing the inspection required in
paragraph (h) of this AD.

(j) Replacement Maintenance Manual Information

    Use the instructions in the applicable Cessna maintenance manual
subject specified in paragraphs (j)(1) through (j)(7) of this AD to
do the replacement required by paragraph (i) of this AD.
    (1) Subject 4-11-00, Replacement Time Limits, of Chapter 4,
