14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2013-0544; Directorate Identifier 2012-NM-057-AD;
Amendment 39-17935; AD 2014-16-11]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
The Boeing Company Model 777-200 series airplanes. This AD was prompted
by reports of smoke or flames in the passenger cabin of various
transport category airplanes related to the wiring for the passenger
cabin in-flight entertainment (IFE) system, cabin lighting, and
passenger seats. This AD requires, for certain airplanes, doing an
inspection of the electrical power control panel for a certain part
number, and corrective action if necessary; and, for certain other
airplanes, installing a new electrical power control panel, and making
changes to the wiring and certain electrical load management system
(ELMS) panels. We are issuing this AD to ensure that the flightcrew is
able to turn off electrical power to the IFE systems and other non-
essential electrical systems through one or two switches in the flight
deck in the event of smoke or flames. In the event of smoke or flames
in the airplane flight deck or passenger cabin, the flightcrew's
inability to turn off electrical power to the IFE system and other non-
essential electrical systems could result in the inability to control
smoke or flames in the airplane flight deck or passenger cabin during a
non-normal or emergency situation, and consequent loss of control of
the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective September 23, 2014.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of September 23,
2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain The Boeing Company
Model 777-200 series airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal
Register on July 17, 2013 (78 FR 42727). The NPRM was prompted by
reports of smoke or flames in the passenger cabin of various transport
category airplanes, related to the wiring for the passenger cabin IFE
system, cabin lighting, and passenger seats. The NPRM proposed to
require, for certain airplanes, doing an inspection of the electrical
power control panel for a certain part number, and corrective action if
necessary; and, for certain other airplanes, installing a new
electrical power control panel, and making changes to the wiring and
certain ELMS panels. We are issuing this AD to ensure that the
flightcrew is able to turn off electrical power to the IFE systems and
other non-essential electrical systems through one or two switches in
the flight deck in the event of smoke or flames. In the event of smoke
or flames in the airplane flight deck or passenger cabin, the
flightcrew's inability to turn off electrical power to the IFE system
and other non-essential electrical systems could result in the
inability to control smoke or flames in the airplane flight deck or
passenger cabin during a non-normal or emergency situation, and
consequent loss of control of the airplane.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the proposal
(78 FR 42727, July 17, 2013) and the FAA's response to each comment.

Support for the NPRM (78 FR 42727, July 17, 2013)

    United Airlines (UA) supported the NPRM (78 FR 42727, July 17,
2013).

Request To Accept Modification Deviations Proposed by Japan Airlines
(JAL)

    Japan Airlines (JAL) requested that we accept modification
deviations proposed by JAL. JAL stated that there were problems with
the repair kits including short electrical wire and missing wires. JAL
proposed various deviations from the service bulletin instructions in
order to address these problems.
    We disagree with the request to accept modification deviations. The
issues that JAL experienced with the Boeing kit may not be applicable
to other operators; therefore, we are not changing this final rule in
this regard. Operators may, however, request approval of an alternative
method of compliance (AMOC) for deviations for the Boeing repair kit in
accordance with paragraph (k) of this AD.

Request To Use Alternative Service Information

    JAL requested that we allow the use of Boeing Service Bulletin 777-
23-0254 to load an alternative version of cabin management system (CMS)
software. JAL stated that the NPRM (78 FR 42727, July 17, 2013), would
require loading the CMS software in accordance with Boeing Service
Bulletin 777-23-0176, Revision 2, dated October 26, 2006, as a
concurrent requirement to Boeing Service Bulletin 777-23-0254. JAL
stated that it has loaded this required software, but also loaded
another version of the software for a cabin configuration change using
Boeing Service Bulletin 777-23-0254. JAL stated that Boeing Service
Bulletin 777-23-0254 identifies Boeing Service Bulletin 777-23-0176,
Revision 2, dated October 26, 2006, as a concurrent requirement; JAL
therefore requested that we include Boeing Service Bulletin 777-23-0254
in the NPRM.
    We disagree with the request to use Boeing Service Bulletin 777-23-
0254 to load an alternative version of CMS software. Although Boeing
Service Bulletin 777-23-0254 identifies Boeing Service Bulletin 777-23-
0176, Revision 2, dated October 26, 2006, as a concurrent requirement,
we have not evaluated the alternative software to ensure it provides an
acceptable level of safety to the AD requirements. Operators may
request approval of an AMOC for installation of this alternative CMS
software in accordance with paragraph (k) of this AD.

Request To Add New Optional Action

    Boeing and JAL requested that we revise the Costs of Compliance
section and paragraph (i)(2) of the NPRM (78 FR 42727, July 17, 2013)
to add Boeing Service Bulletin 777-28A0039, Revision 2, dated September
20, 2010, as an option to Boeing Service Bulletin 777-24-0077, Revision
4, dated October 17, 2012, for installation of additional ELMS
software.
    The commenters stated that the new ELMS software is required for
compliance to another AD (AD 2011-09-15, Amendment 39-16677 (76 FR
24345, May 2, 2011)). The commenters stated that AD 2011-09-15 requires
installing new panels in the main equipment center and installing new
ELMS software in accordance with Boeing Service Bulletin 777-28A0037,
Revision 2, dated September 20, 2010, in order to prevent potential
ignition sources inside fuel tanks. The commenters also stated that AD
2011-09-15 identifies Boeing Service Bulletin 777-28A0039, Revision 2,
dated September 20, 2010, as an additional source of guidance for
installing ELMS software.
    Boeing and JAL stated that requiring ELMS software to be installed
according to Boeing Service Bulletin 777-24-0087, Revision 2, dated
August 16, 2007, as proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 42727, July 17, 2013),
will create a conflict with the requirements of AD 2011-09-15,
Amendment 39-16677 (76 FR 24345, May 2, 2011). Boeing stated that it
intends to revise Service Bulletin 777-24-0077 to Revision 5 to include
Boeing Service Bulletin 777-28A0039, Revision 2, dated September 20,
2010, as concurrent service information.
    We agree to add an option to use Boeing Service Bulletin 777-
28A0039, Revision 2, dated September 20, 2010, for installation of
additional ELMS software. We have added this reference to the Costs of
Compliance section and to paragraph (i)(2) of this final rule, as
requested.

Change to Final Rule

    For editorial purposes, we have moved the credit service bulletin
references from paragraph (j)(3) of the NPRM (78 FR 42727, July 17,
2013) to new paragraphs (j)(3)(i) through (j)(3)(v) of this final rule.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     [Agr]re consistent with the intent that was proposed in
the NPRM (78 FR 42727, July 17, 2013) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 42727, July 17, 2013).
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 49 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with 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

    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),
    (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.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 64

[Docket No. FEMA-8037]

Suspension of Community Eligibility

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule identifies communities, where the sale of flood
insurance has been authorized under the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP), that are scheduled for suspension on the effective
dates listed within this rule because of noncompliance with the
floodplain management requirements of the program. If the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) receives documentation proving the
community has adopted the required floodplain management measures prior
to the effective suspension date given in this rule, the suspension
will not occur and a notice will be provided by publication in the
Federal Register on a subsequent date.

DATES: Effective Dates: The effective date of each community's
scheduled suspension is the third date (``Susp.'') listed in the third
column of the following tables.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you want to determine whether a
particular community was suspended on the suspension date or obtain
additional information, contact David Stearrett, Federal Emergency
Management Agency, Mitigation Directorate, 500 C Street, SW.,
Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP enables property owners to purchase
flood insurance which is generally not otherwise available. In return,
communities agree to adopt and administer local floodplain management
aimed at protecting lives and new construction from future flooding.
Section 1315 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended,
42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance coverage as authorized under
the NFIP, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et. seq.; unless an appropriate public body
adopts adequate floodplain management measures with effective
enforcement measures. The communities listed in this document no longer
meet the statutory requirement for compliance with program regulations,
44 CFR part 59. Accordingly, the communities will be suspended on the
effective date in the third column. As of that date, flood insurance
will no longer be available in the community. However, some of these
communities may adopt and submit the required documentation of legally
enforceable floodplain management measures after this rule is published
but prior to the actual suspension date. These communities will not be
suspended and will continue their eligibility for the sale of
insurance. A notice withdrawing the suspension of the communities will
be published in the Federal Register.
    Previously, FEMA identified the Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs)
in these communities by publishing a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM).
The date of the FIRM, if one has been published, is indicated in the
fourth column of the table. No direct Federal financial assistance
(except assistance pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act not in connection with a flood) may
legally be provided for construction or acquisition of buildings in
identified SFHAs for communities not participating in the NFIP and
identified for more than a year, on the FEMA initial flood insurance
map of the community as having flood-prone areas (section 202(a) of the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4106(a), as amended).
This prohibition against certain types of Federal assistance becomes
effective for the communities listed on the date shown in the last
column. The Administrator finds the notice and public comment under 5
U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and unnecessary because the communities
listed in this final rule have been adequately notified.
    Each community receives 6-month, 90-day, and 30-day notification
letters addressed to the Chief Executive Officer stating the community
will be suspended unless the required floodplain management measures
are met prior to the effective suspension date. Since these
notifications were made, this final rule may take effect within less
than 30 days.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This rule is categorically
excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR Part 10, Environmental
Considerations. No environmental impact assessment has been prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Administrator has determined this
rule is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act
because the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C.
4022, prohibits flood insurance coverage unless an appropriate public
body adopts adequate floodplain management measures with effective
enforcement measures. The communities listed no longer comply with the
statutory requirements, and after the effective date, flood insurance
will no longer be available in the communities unless remedial action
takes place.
    Regulatory Classification. This final rule is not a significant
regulatory action under the criteria of section 3(f) of Executive Order
12866 of September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR
51735.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This rule involves no policies
that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This rule meets the
applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.
    Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule does not involve any collection
of information for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et. seq.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2021-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-2190]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

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

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard
determinations, which may include additions or modifications of any
Base Flood Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundary or zone designation, or regulatory floodway on the
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the
supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the communities
listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to seek
general information and comment regarding the preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report that the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has provided to the affected communities. 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).

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before April 11, 2022.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location https://hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/prelimdownload and the
respective Community Map Repository address listed in the tables 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.

    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-2190, to
Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400 C Street SW, Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email) [email protected].

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 protected]; or visit the FEMA Mapping and Insurance
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community listed below, in accordance with
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed 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. These flood
hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS
report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b)
is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard
determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
become effective.
    Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are
independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other
pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the
SRP only may be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days
without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional
information regarding the SRP process can be found online at https://www.floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_overview.pdf.
    The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables
below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection at both the online location
https://hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/prelimdownload and the respective
Community Map Repository address listed in the tables. For communities
with multiple ongoing Preliminary studies, the studies can be
identified by the unique project number and Preliminary FIRM date
listed in the tables. 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.
