Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland
Security.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice lists communities where the addition or
modification of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths,
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or
the regulatory floodway (hereinafter referred to as flood hazard
determinations), as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
reports, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for
each community, is appropriate because of new scientific or technical
data. The FIRM, and where applicable, portions of the FIS report, have
been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through
issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Federal
Regulations. The LOMR will be used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings
and the contents of those buildings. For rating purposes, the currently
effective community number is shown in the table below and must be used
for all new policies and renewals.

DATES: These flood hazard determinations will be finalized on the dates
listed in the table below and revise the FIRM panels and FIS report in
effect prior to this determination for the listed communities.
    From the date of the second publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local circulation, any person has 90 days in
which to request through the community that the Deputy Associate
Administrator for Insurance and Mitigation reconsider the changes. The
flood hazard determination information

may be changed during the 90-day period.

ADDRESSES: The affected communities are listed in the table below.
Revised flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for
comparison.
    Submit comments and/or appeals to the Chief Executive Officer of
the community as listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Mapping and Insurance
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in this notice. However, the online
location and local community map repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is available for inspection is
provided.
    Any request for reconsideration of flood hazard determinations must
be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of the community as listed
in the table below.
    The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR part 65.
    The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management
measures that the community is required either to adopt or to show
evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified
for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
    These flood hazard determinations, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by
other Federal, State, or regional entities. The flood hazard
determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    The affected communities are listed in the following table. Flood
hazard determination information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for
comparison.

[Docket No. FAA-2009-0994; Directorate Identifier 2009-NM-108-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Model Falcon 900EX 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. 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:

    A quality control performed during completion of one Falcon
900EX aeroplane

has shown that the crew and passenger Right-Hand (RH) oxygen lines
may both interfere with the frame 8 of the aeroplane structure. A
subsequent design review of the oxygen lines routing has confirmed
that, on certain aeroplanes, equipped in RH mid-cabin with a 115 cu-
ft oxygen cylinder, the installation of the line support assembly at
frame 8 needs to be accomplished with precaution; otherwise, the
oxygen lines might interfere with the structure, and this condition
could lead to an oxygen leak.
* * * * *
The unsafe condition is an oxygen leak, which would result in
insufficient oxygen flow to passenger oxygen masks during a
depressurization event. 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 December 14,
2009.

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 2009-0126, dated June 18, 2009 (referred to
after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    A quality control performed during completion of one Falcon
900EX aeroplane has shown that the crew and passenger Right-Hand
(RH) oxygen lines may both interfere with the frame 8 of the
aeroplane structure. A subsequent design review of the oxygen lines
routing has confirmed that, on certain aeroplanes, equipped in RH
mid-cabin with a 115 cu-ft oxygen cylinder, the installation of the
line support assembly at frame 8 needs to be accomplished with
precaution; otherwise, the oxygen lines might interfere with the
structure, and this condition could lead to an oxygen leak.
    As a result, [EASA] Airworthiness Directive 2009-0104 was issued
to require inspection of the oxygen lines [for signs of interference
or chafing damage], replacement of any damaged lines and
modification of their support assembly. Since then, it has been
found that the applicability of the AD had not been correctly
defined.
    This [new EASA] AD retains the requirements of AD 2009-0104
which is superseded and corrects the applicability.

The unsafe condition is an oxygen leak, which would result in
insufficient oxygen flow to passenger oxygen masks during a
depressurization event. Modifying the support assembly of the oxygen
lines includes drilling holes to install improved support bracket
assemblies at frame 8, stringers 11 and 13, and installing the improved
assemblies. You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in
the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Dassault has issued Mandatory Service Bulletin F900EX-347, Revision
1, dated May 18, 2009. 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 23 products of U.S. registry.

We also estimate that it would take about 4 work-hours per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average
labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Required parts would cost about $0 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 costs. 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 the proposed AD
on U.S. operators to be $7,360, or $320 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.

    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 adding the following new AD:

Dassault Aviation: Docket No. FAA-2009-0994; Directorate Identifier
2009-NM-108-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by December 14, 2009.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Dassault Model Falcon 900EX airplanes,
certificated in any category, with serial numbers 120 through 123
inclusive, 125 through 127 inclusive, 129, 132, 134 through 145
inclusive, 147, 151, 153, 155, 157 through 159 inclusive, 163, 165,
168 through 170 inclusive, 172, 174, 178, 182, 183, 194, 196, 197,
199, and 206.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 35: Oxygen.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:

    A quality control performed during completion of one Falcon
900EX aeroplane has shown that the crew and passenger Right-Hand
(RH) oxygen lines may both interfere with the frame 8 of the
aeroplane structure. A subsequent design review of the oxygen lines
routing has confirmed that, on certain aeroplanes, equipped in RH
mid-cabin with a 115 cu-ft oxygen cylinder, the installation of the
line support assembly at frame 8 needs to be accomplished with
precaution; otherwise, the oxygen lines might interfere with the
structure, and this condition could lead to an oxygen leak.
    As a result, [European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)]
Airworthiness Directive 2009-0104 was issued to require inspection
of the oxygen lines [for signs of interference and chafing damage],
replacement of any damaged lines and modification of their support
assembly. Since then, it has been found that the applicability of
the AD had not been correctly defined.
    This [EASA] AD retains the requirements of AD 2009-0104 which is
superseded and corrects the applicability.

The unsafe condition is an oxygen leak, which would result in
insufficient oxygen flow to passenger oxygen masks during a
depressurization event. Modifying the support assembly of the oxygen
lines includes drilling holes to install improved support bracket
assemblies at frame 8, stringers 11 and 13, and installing the
improved assemblies.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions.
    (1) Within 2 months after the effective date of this AD, inspect
the oxygen lines in accordance with Part 1 of the Accomplishment
Instructions of Dassault Mandatory Service Bulletin F900EX-347,
Revision 1, dated May 18, 2009. If any interference or damage is
found, before further flight, replace the oxygen lines and install
improved brackets, in accordance with Part 2 of the Accomplishment
Instructions of Dassault Mandatory Service Bulletin F900EX-347,
Revision 1, dated May 18, 2009.
    (2) If no interference and no damage are found during the
inspection required by paragraph (f)(1) of this AD: Within 72 months
after the effective date of this AD, replace the oxygen line support
assemblies, in accordance with Part 2 of the Accomplishment
Instructions of Dassault Mandatory Service Bulletin F900EX-347,
Revision 1, dated May 18, 2009.
    (3) Actions accomplished before the effective date of this AD in
accordance with Dassault Mandatory Service Bulletin F900EX-347,
dated March 19, 2009, are acceptable for compliance with
corresponding actions specified in this AD.
