14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2011-1334; Airspace Docket No. 11-ASO-43]

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Augusta, GA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E Airspace in Augusta, GA. The Bushe
Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) and the Burke County NDB have been
decommissioned and new Standard Instrument Approach Procedures have
been developed at Augusta Regional Airport at Bush Field, Augusta, GA,
and Burke County Airport, Waynesboro, GA, respectively. Airspace
reconfiguration is necessary for the continued safety and management of
instrument flight rules (IFR) operations within the Augusta, GA,
airspace area. This action also updates the geographic coordinates of
Burke County Airport.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, November 15, 2012. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
title 1, Code of Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to the annual
revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On April 10, 2012, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend Class E airspace in the
Augusta, GA area (77 FR 21506). Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on
the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Subsequent to
publication, the FAA found an error in the latitudinal coordinate for
Burke County Airport and makes the correction in the rule. Except for
editorial changes, and the change noted above, this rule is the same as
published in the NPRM.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.9V dated August 9, 2011, and effective September 15,
2011, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Augusta, GA. Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due
to the decommissioning of the Bushe NDB at Augusta Regional at Bush
Field Airport, Augusta, GA, and the Burke County NDB at Burke County
Airport, Waynesboro, GA, thereby cancelling the NDB approaches. This
action ensures the continued safety and management of IFR operations
within the Augusta, GA airspace area. This action also adjusts the
latitude degree coordinate of the Burke County Airport from 32[deg] to
33[deg] to be in concert with the FAA's aeronautical database.
    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, is non-controversial
and unlikely to result in adverse or negative comments. 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. Since this is a routine matter that will only
affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that
this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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.
    This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it amends controlled airspace in the Augusta, GA area.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 311a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A330-200 Series Airplanes;
Model A330-300 Series Airplanes; Model A340-200 Series Airplanes; and
Model A340-300 Series Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This 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:

    When there are significant differences between all airspeed
sources, the flight controls of an Airbus A330 or A340 aeroplane
will revert to alternate law, the autopilot (AP) and the auto-thrust
(A/THR) automatically disconnect, and the Flight Directors (FD) bars
are automatically removed.
    It has been identified that, after such an event, if two
airspeed sources become similar while still erroneous, the flight
guidance computers will:

--Display FD bars again, and
--Enable autopilot and auto-thrust re-engagement

    However, in some cases, the autopilot orders may be
inappropriate, such as possible abrupt pitch command.
* * * * *
The unsafe condition is the potential for abrupt pitch command which
may lead to unexpected maneuvers of the airplane and cause injuries of
the crew and passengers, as well as reduced controllability of the
airplane, and increased pilot workload. This AD requires actions that
are intended to address the unsafe condition described in the MCAI.

DATES: This AD becomes effective February 9, 2011.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in the AD as of February 9,
2011.
    We must receive comments on this AD by March 11, 2011.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2010-0271, dated December 22, 2010 (referred to
after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    When there are significant differences between all airspeed
sources, the flight controls of an Airbus A330 or A340 aeroplane
will revert to alternate law, the autopilot (AP) and the auto-thrust
(A/THR) automatically disconnect, and the Flight Directors (FD) bars
are automatically removed.
    It has been identified that, after such an event, if two
airspeed sources become similar while still erroneous, the flight
guidance computers will:

--Display FD bars again, and
--Enable autopilot and auto-thrust re-engagement

    However, in some cases, the autopilot orders may be
inappropriate, such as possible abrupt pitch command.

    In order to prevent such event which may, under specific
circumstances, constitute an unsafe condition, this AD requires an
amendment of the Flight Manual to ensure that flight crews apply the
appropriate operational procedure.

The unsafe condition is the potential for abrupt pitch command which
may lead to unexpected maneuvers of the airplane and cause injuries of
the crew and passengers, as well as reduced controllability of the
airplane and increased pilot workload. Required actions include
revising the limitations and abnormal sections of the airplane flight
manual to include a procedure for when the autopilot and auto-thrust
are automatically disconnected and flight controls have reverted to
alternate law. You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI
in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Airbus has issued A330/A340 Temporary Revisions TR149 and TR150,
both Issue 1.0, both dated December 20, 2010, to the Airbus A330/A340
Airplane Flight Manual. 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 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 issuing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined the unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Differences Between the 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 required 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 AD.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies
waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because of
the potential for abrupt pitch command which may lead to unexpected
maneuvers of the airplane and cause injuries of the crew and
passengers, as well as reduced controllability of the airplane, and
increased pilot workload. Therefore, we determined that notice and
opportunity for public comment before issuing this AD are impracticable
and that good cause exists for making this amendment effective in fewer
than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2011-0029; Directorate
Identifier 2010-NM-279-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all
comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of
those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this AD.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); 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.

    (1) Revise the Limitations and Abnormal Sections of the Airbus
A330/A340 Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) to include the following
statement and operate the airplane according to these limitations
and procedures. This may be done by inserting a copy of this AD in
the AFM.
    ``PROCEDURE:
    When autopilot and auto-thrust are automatically disconnected
and flight controls have reverted to alternate law:

--Do not engage the AP and the A/THR, even if FD bars have
reappeared
--Do not follow the FD orders
--ALL SPEED INDICATIONS--X-CHECK

     If unreliable speed indication is suspected:

--UNRELIABLE SPEED INDIC/ADR CHECK PROC--APPLY

intended path:
    AP/FD and A/THR--As required''

    Note 1: When a statement identical to that in paragraph (g)(1)
of this AD has been included in the general revisions of the
Limitations and Abnormal Sections of the AFM, the general revisions
may be inserted into the AFM, and the copy of this AD may be removed
from the AFM.

    (2) Revise the Limitations and Abnormal Sections of the Airbus
A330/A340 Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) to include the information in
Airbus A330/A340 Temporary Revision (TR) TR149 (for Model A330

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving the
Limited Maintenance Plan (LMP) for the Columbia Falls, Kalispell and
Libby nonattainment areas (NAAs) and the State's request to redesignate
the Columbia Falls, Kalispell and Libby NAAs from nonattainment to
attainment for the 1987 24-hour particulate matter with an aerodynamic
diameter less than or equal to a nominal 10 micrometers
(PM10) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS).
Additionally, the EPA is determining that the Libby and Kalispell NAAs
have attained the PM10 NAAQS based on monitoring data from
calendar years 2016-2018. On January 31, 2011, the EPA determined that
the Columbia Falls NAA attained the PM10 NAAQS. The EPA is
also approving the Columbia Falls, Kalispell and Libby LMP as meeting
the appropriate transportation conformity requirements. The EPA is
taking this action pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,''
and ``our'' means the EPA.

I. Background

    The Columbia Falls PM10 NAA is one of three NAAs in
Flathead County. It is rectangularly shaped, and generally encompasses
the downtown portion of Columbia Falls and the nearby surrounding
areas. Columbia Falls was originally designated as a Group I area on
August 7, 1987, meaning it was likely to violate the PM10
NAAQS, and was subsequently classified as a Moderate NAA for the 1987
24-hour PM10 NAAQS on November 6, 1991. See 56 FR 56694.
States containing initial Moderate PM10 NAAs were required
to submit, by November 15, 1991, a Moderate NAA State Implementation
Plan (SIP) that, among other requirements, implemented Reasonably
Available Control Measures (RACM) by December 10, 1993, and
demonstrated whether it was practicable to attain the PM10
NAAQS by December 31, 1994. See generally 57 FR 13498 (April 16, 1992);
see also 57 FR 18070 (April 28, 1992). The State of Montana submitted
an initial PM10 SIP to the EPA on May 6, 1992, and
subsequent submissions on August 26, 1994 and July 18, 1995. The State
of Montana's SIP for the Columbia Falls Moderate NAA included, among
other things: A comprehensive emissions inventory; RACM; a
demonstration that attainment of the PM10 NAAQS would be
achieved in Columbia Falls by December 31, 1994; Reasonable Further
Progress (RFP) requirements; and control measures that satisfy the
contingency measures requirement of section 172(c)(9) of the CAA. The
EPA fully approved the Columbia Falls NAA PM10 attainment
plan on March 19, 1996 (61 FR 11153).
    The Libby PM10 NAA is one of three NAAs in Flathead
County. It is an irregularly shaped portion of Lincoln County,
comprising of the city of Libby, and the surrounding communities. The
area was originally designated as a Group I area on August 7, 1987,
meaning it was likely to violate the PM10 NAAQS, and was
subsequently classified as a Moderate NAA for the 1987 24-hour
PM10 NAAQS on November 6, 1991. See 56 FR 56694.
    The State of Montana submitted an initial PM10 SIP to
the EPA on November 25, 1991, with revisions and corrections submitted
on May 24, 1993 and June 3, 1994. The State of Montana's SIP for the
Libby Moderate PM10 NAA included, among other things: A
comprehensive emissions inventory; RACM; a demonstration that
attainment of the PM10 NAAQS would be achieved in Libby by
December 31, 1994; RFP requirements; and control measures that satisfy
the contingency measures requirement of section 172(c)(9) of the CAA.
The EPA approved the Libby NAA PM10 attainment plan, with
the exception of the contingency plan, on August 30, 1994 (59 FR
44627). Revisions to the contingency plan were submitted by Montana on
March 15, 1995 and subsequently approved on September 30, 1996 (61 FR
51074).
    The Kalispell PM10 NAA is one of three NAAs in Flathead
County. It is irregularly shaped and generally encompasses the City of
Kalispell and the nearby surrounding areas, including the
unincorporated community of Evergreen. Kalispell was originally
designated as a Group I area on August 7, 1987, meaning it was likely
to violate the PM10 NAAQS, and was subsequently classified
as a Moderate NAA for the 1987 24-hour PM10 NAAQS on
November 6, 1991. See 56 FR 56694. The State of Montana submitted an
initial PM10 SIP to the EPA on November 25, 1991 and
submitted three additional SIP revisions between 1991 and 1994. The
State of Montana's SIP for the Kalispell Moderate NAA included, among
other things: A comprehensive emissions inventory; RACM; a
demonstration that attainment of the PM10 NAAQS would be
achieved in Kalispell by December 31, 1994; RFP requirements; and
control measures that satisfy the contingency measures requirement of
section 172(c)(9) of the CAA. The EPA fully approved the Kalispell NAA
PM10 attainment plan on March 19, 1996 (61 FR 11153).
    The factual and legal background for this action is discussed in
detail in our March 20, 2020 (85 FR 16029) proposed approval of the
Columbia Falls, Kalispell and Libby LMP as meeting the appropriate
transportation conformity requirements, and concurrent redesignation of
the Columbia Falls, Kalispell and Libby NAAs to attainment of the NAAQS
for PM10.

II. Response to Comments

    The public comment period on the EPA's proposed rule opened on
March 20, 2020, the date of its publication in the Federal Register,
(85 FR 16029), and closed on April 20, 2020. During this time, the EPA
received no comments.

III. Final Action

    For the reasons explained in our proposed action, we are approving
the LMP for the Columbia Falls, Kalispell and Libby NAAs and the
State's request to redesignate the Columbia Falls, Kalispell and Libby
NAAs from nonattainment to attainment for the 1987 24-hour
PM10 NAAQS. Additionally, the EPA has determined that the
Kalispell and Libby NAAs have attained the NAAQS for
PM10.\1\ This determination is based upon monitored air
quality data for the PM10 NAAQS during the years 2016-2018.
The EPA is approving the Columbia Falls, Kalispell and Libby LMPs as
meeting the appropriate transportation conformity requirements found in
40 CFR part 93, subpart A and general conformity requirements found in
40 CFR part 93, subpart B.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See January 31, 2011 (76 FR 5280) wherein the EPA determined
that the Columbia Falls NAA attained the PM10 NAAQS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735,

October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866;
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, described in the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by August 25, 2020. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2)).

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This 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, the FAA has published Special Federal
Aviation Regulation 88 (SFAR88) * * * [which] required * * *
[conducting] a design review against explosion risks.

The unsafe condition is 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. We are
issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe condition on
these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective March 28, 2008.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of March 28,
2008.

www.regulations.gov or in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor,
Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on December 17, 2007
(72 FR 71271). That NPRM proposed 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 has published Special Federal
Aviation Regulation 88 (SFAR88) in June 2001.
    In their Letters referenced 04/00/02/07/01-L296 dated March 4,
2002 and 04/00/02/07/03-L024, dated February 3, 2003, the JAA (Joint
Aviation Authorities) recommended the application of a similar
regulation to the National Aviation Authorities (NAA).
    Under this regulation, all holders of type certificates for
passenger transport aircraft with either a passenger capacity of 30
or more, or a payload capacity of 7,500 pounds (3402 kg) or more,
which have received their certification since January 1, 1958, are
required to conduct a design review against explosion risks.
    This Airworthiness Directive, which renders mandatory the
modification [3162] to separate wiring of Fuel Quantity Indication
System [FQIS], is a consequence of the design review.

The unsafe condition is 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.
Modification 3162 includes parking (stowing) of the existing wiring to
the FQIS, installing new wires with shields to the FQIS, and
operational and functional tests of the FQIS. You may obtain further
information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Comments

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

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.

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 required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences
are highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect about 218 products of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that it will take about 80 work-hours per
product to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average
labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $12,900
per product. Where the service information lists required parts costs
that are covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no
charge for these parts. As we do not control warranty coverage for
affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated
here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to the
U.S. operators to be $4,207,400, or $19,300 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 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 this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); 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.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the
ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly
after receipt.

Aviation Regulation 88 (SFAR88) in June 2001.
    In their Letters referenced 04/00/02/07/01-L296 dated March 4,
2002, and 04/00/02/07/03-L024, dated February 3, 2003, the JAA
(Joint Aviation Authorities) recommended the application of a
similar regulation to the National Aviation Authorities (NAA).
    Under this regulation, all holders of type certificates for
passenger transport aircraft with either a passenger capacity of 30
or more, or a payload capacity of 7,500 pounds (3402 kg) or more,
which have received their certification since January 1, 1958, are
required to conduct a design review against explosion risks.
    This Airworthiness Directive, which renders mandatory the
modification [3162] to separate wiring of Fuel Quantity Indication
System, is a consequence of the design review.

The unsafe condition is 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.
Modification 3162 includes parking (stowing) of the existing wiring
to the FQIS, installing new wires with shields to the FQIS, and
