Airworthiness Directives; 328 Support Services GmbH Dornier Model
328-100 Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

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:

    During overhaul on a Dornier 328-100 landing gear unit, parts of
the MLG (main

landing gear) main body and trailing arm bushings have been found
corroded. Investigation showed that over time, these bushings can
migrate, creating the risk of corrosion in adjacent areas. Such
corrosion, if not detected, could cause damage to the MLG, possibly
resulting in MLG functional problems or failure.

* * * * *
Functional problems or failure of the MLG could result in the inability
of the MLG to extend or retract. We are issuing this AD to require
actions to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective April 28, 2009.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of April 28,
2009.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
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 September 30, 2008
(73 FR 56763). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for
the specified products. The MCAI states:

    During overhaul on a Dornier 328-100 landing gear unit, parts of
the MLG (main landing gear) main body and trailing arm bushings have
been found corroded. Investigation showed that over time, these
bushings can migrate, creating the risk of corrosion in adjacent
areas. Such corrosion, if not detected, could cause damage to the
MLG, possibly resulting in MLG functional problems or failure.
    Based on these findings, the existing mandatory retrofit
limitation (as required by Airworthiness Limitations Document under
Section E ``Mandatory Retrofit Items'' since 16 September 1998) for
the MLG bushings at 15,000 FC (flight cycles) has been amended with
``* * * or 6 calendar years time-in-service (TIS), whichever occurs
first''.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] Airworthiness
Directive requires the implementation of the revised mandatory
retrofit limitation and modification of MLG bushings that have
exceeded the new limit.

Functional problems or failure of the MLG could result in the inability
of the MLG to extend or retract. 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 considered the comment received from the commenter.

Request To Clarify Certain Language

    The commenter, Patrick Brady, has a concern about proposed language
in the compliance section that may lead to confusion for operators. The
commenter asks that paragraph (f)(1)(ii) of the NPRM be changed to
clarify that the requirement for replacing the bushings is applicable
only to bushings that were installed before issuance of Dornier Service
Bulletin SB-328-32-245, Revision 2, dated November 21, 2007; and
Messier-Dowty Service Bulletin 800-32-014, Revision 1, dated July 19,
1999. The commenter adds that if the bushings were replaced in
accordance with the referenced service bulletins, and bushings with
post-service bulletin part numbers were installed, no additional
requirement to replace the bushings should be imposed.
    We agree that further clarification is necessary; however, we do
not agree that it is necessary to change the language specified in
paragraph (f)(1)(ii) of this AD. If new bushings with post-service
bulletin part numbers were installed in accordance with Dornier Service
Bulletin SB-328-32-245, Revision 2, dated November 21, 2007; and
Messier-Dowty Service Bulletin 800-32-014, Revision 1, dated July 19,
1999; and a records check has been done which verifies that the
bushings were replaced with new bushings, there is no requirement in
this AD to replace those bushings. In addition, paragraph (f) of the AD
specifies to do the actions ``unless already done.'' We have made no
change to the AD in this regard.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comment received, 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 13 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 28 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 $10,000 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 $159,120, or $12,240 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.

2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

2009-06-09 328 Support Services GMBH (Formerly, AvCraft Aerospace
GmbH, Formerly Fairchild Dornier GmbH, Formerly Dornier Luftfahrt
GmbH): Amendment 39-15845. Docket No. FAA-2008-1043; Directorate
Identifier 2008-NM-036-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective April
28, 2009.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to 328 Support Services GmbH Dornier Model
328-100 airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 32: Landing
gear.

Reason

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

    During overhaul on a Dornier 328-100 landing gear unit, parts of
the MLG (main landing gear) main body and trailing arm bushings have
been found corroded. Investigation showed that over time, these
bushings can migrate, creating the risk of corrosion in adjacent
areas. Such corrosion, if not detected, could cause damage to the
MLG, possibly resulting in MLG functional problems or failure.
    Based on these findings, the existing mandatory retrofit
limitation (as required by Airworthiness Limitations Document under
Section E ``Mandatory Retrofit Items'' since 16 September 1998) for
the MLG bushings at 15,000 FC (flight cycles) has been amended with
``* * * or 6 calendar years time-in-service (TIS), whichever occurs
first''.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] Airworthiness
Directive requires the implementation of the revised mandatory
retrofit limitation and modification of MLG bushings that have
exceeded the new limit.

Functional problems or failure of the MLG could result in the
inability of the MLG to extend or retract.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions.
    (1) Modify the MLG main body and trailing arm bushings at the
applicable time specified in paragraph (f)(1)(i) or (f)(1)(ii) of
this AD, or within 12 months after the effective date of this AD,
whichever occurs later. Do the modification in accordance with the
instructions of Dornier Service Bulletin SB-328-32-245, Revision 2,
dated November 21, 2007; and Messier-Dowty Service Bulletin 800-32-
014, Revision 1, dated July 19, 1999.
    (i) For airplanes on which the bushings have not been replaced
as of the effective date of this AD: Before the MLG accumulates
15,000 flight cycles or 6 years, whichever occurs first.
    (ii) For airplanes on which the bushings have been replaced as
of the effective date of this AD: Before the MLG exceeds 15,000
flight cycles or 6 years after replacement of the bushings,
whichever occurs first.
    (2) Within 1 month after the effective date of this AD: Revise
the Airworthiness Limitations (AWL) section of the Instructions for
Continued Airworthiness by incorporating the information in Dornier
328 Temporary Revision (TR) ALD-084, dated November 7, 2005, into
Section E, ``Mandatory Retrofit Items'' of the Dornier 328
Airworthiness Limitations Document (ALD).

    Note 1: The actions required by paragraph (f)(2) of this AD may
be done by inserting a copy of Dornier 328 TR ALD-084, dated
November 7, 2005, into Section E of the Dornier 328 ALD.

    (3) After doing the replacement required by paragraph (f)(1) of
this AD, no person may install, on any airplane, a MLG unit as a
replacement part, unless it has been modified in accordance with
paragraph (f)(1) of this AD.

Additional Information/Clarification

on the August 14/15 Scientific Advisory Panel Dietary Session’s Charge
Question 3

________________________________________________________________

Charge Question 3: Bayer Drinking Water Consumption Survey Data

The CSFII data does not contain information on the time and amounts of

direct drinking water consumption. Bayer CropScience sponsored a study,

Drinking Water Consumption Survey (DWCS) that was designed to obtain

a distribution of water intake for a 24-hour time period from a

representative sample of the US population. Participants recorded their

water consumption (time of day and amount consumed) over a one-week

(7 consecutive day) period. The authors, Barraj et.al. (2004), suggested

that it may be possible to “allocate the total daily water consumption

amount reported in the CSFII into various drinking occasions” using

information from the DWCS. In addition to offering a fixed option for

allocating direct drinking water throughout the day, the Agency is
planning

to include in SHEDS-Multimedia v. 4 the option to allocate direct
drinking

water consumption throughout the day through empirical use of the Bayer

DWCS data.

Please comment on the advantages and disadvantages of providing

an option to use the Bayer DWCS data in SHEDS-Multimedia v. 4.

Please include in your comments any statistical concerns or issues

associated with the design and conduct of the DWCS study.

************************************************************************
********************

EPA considers the dietary session of this SAP meeting to be a
consultation on a variety of disparate topics rather than a formal
review. We have not provided the Panel with working dietary software,
nor have asked the Panel for a formal review of the dietary code.  As
such, we offer the following clarification to Charge Question 3:

EPA Clarification of Charge Question 3:   EPA recognizes that it has
provided each of the Panel members with only background information on
the Bayer DWCS as part of the document “An Update on the Development
of the SHEDS-Dietary Model”  and has not provided Panel members with
the Bayer submission itself.  The intended purpose of the above charge
question was less to receive specific comments on the conduct and
analysis of the Bayer DWCS, but rather to introduce this as a possible
source of data  and obtain the Panel’s thoughts and ideas on the
conceptual utility of this kind of study, in principle.    More
specifically, we are looking for advice from the Panel on ways studies
conducted in this way could be interpreted and potentially used and any
suggestions the Panel might have on ways data collected in this manner
should be examined and interpreted. EPA has, to date, only performed
exploratory analysis of the data provided by Bayer and has not yet
formally reviewed this submission or used it as part of a regulatory
decision.  EPA will use the thoughts and ideas presented by the Panel in
its discussion of this topic and, if warranted at a later date, may
present the study and our analysis to the Panel, along with our proposed
use of the study as an available option in the SHEDS model.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land Use Assurance;
Billings Logan International Airport, Billings, MT

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is being given that the FAA is considering a proposal
from the City of Billings (Sponsor of the Billings Logan International
Airport) to release Federal obligations on portions of the Billings
Logan International Airport for disposal. The proposal consists of 15.2
acres acquired with an Airport Improvement Program grant shown as the
east most section of Parcel 2A on the Airport's Exhibit ``A''.

DATES: Comments must be received by May 31, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Comments on this application may be mailed or delivered to
the FAA at the following address:
    Mr. William C. Garrison, Manager, Federal Aviation Administration,
Northwest Mountain Region, Airports Division, Helena Airports District
Office, 2725 Skyway Drive, Suite 2, Helena, Montana 59602.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
    Mr. Joe Nye, Civil Engineer, Federal Aviation Administration,
Northwest Mountain Region, Helena Airports District Office, 2725 Skyway
Drive, Suite 2, Helena, MT 59602.
    The request to release Federal obligations may be reviewed, by
appointment, in person at the same location.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the
request to release Federal obligations of 15.2 acres at the Billings
Logan International Airport under the provisions of the Title 49,
U.S.C. Section 47107(h).
    The City of Billings, referred to herein as the Sponsor, has
requested release from the Federal obligations assigned to 15.2 acres
of land acquired under Airport Improvement Program Grant 3-30-0008-004-
1986. The 15.2 acres is shown on the Airport's Exhibit ``A'' as the
east most section of Parcel 2A and is isolated from the airfield by
Highway 318.
    The Sponsor has completed an appraisal for the 15.2 acres of Parcel
2A and found that current fair market value of the property is
$223,000. The Sponsor proposes to reimburse the federal interest in the
15.2 acres of Parcel 2A by reinvesting an amount of $200,700 (90% of
the current fair market value) towards the AIP eligible portion of the
terminal expansion currently underway.
    The Sponsor proposes to sell the property to Northwestern Energy
for expansion of the Northwestern Energy Rimrock Substation. The
proposed use of this property is compatible with other airport
operations and the Sponsor will retain necessary easements to ensure
the property continues to serve its intended purpose of approach
protection and compatible land use.
    Any person may inspect the request in person at the FAA office
listed above under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
