RE:	Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Notice of Data Availability: New
Information Concerning SNAP Program Proposal on Ozone Depleting
Substances in Foam Blowing, 71 Federal Register 102, May 26, 2006.

Dear Mr. McLean:

The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) was recently
provided a copy of a May 26, 2006 EPA notice of data availability (NODA)
and request for comment regarding “Protection of Stratospheric Ozone:
Notice of Data Availability: New Information Concerning SNAP Program
Proposal on Ozone Depleting Substitutes in Foam Blowing.” 71 Fed.Reg
102 5/26/06. This copy and a May 2, 2006 Stratus report was provided to
NMMA by the SBA Office of Advocacy. The purpose of this letter is to
raise our concerns with the EPA initiative to accelerate the phase out
of HCFCs use as a propellant in USCG required marine vessel floatation
foam applications.

The NMMA is the nation’s leading recreational marine industry
association, representing over 1,500 boat builders, engine
manufacturers, and marine accessory manufacturers.  NMMA members
collectively produce more than 80 percent of all recreational marine
products made in the United States. With nearly 13 million registered
boats and almost 72 million boaters nationwide, the recreational boating
industry contributes $30 billion annually to the U.S. economy.

The NMMA agrees with the EPA assessment that ozone depleting substances
(ODS) alternatives have been developed. NMMA has serious concerns with
the EPA assumption that stated that “companies that chose to plan
ahead for the eventual phase out of HCFC-22 and HCFC-142b could have
initiated this process in the period from 2002-2003, when the current
suite of alternatives became available.” Thus EPA is assuming that
there are many boat builders in the US who have switched over to
alternatives, and guided by the EPA 2000 SNAP proposal are already in
compliance. EPA also makes the assumption that those boat builders that
have already converted to ODS alternatives are bearing higher system
costs.

The EPA assumptions regarding boat builders are not only incorrect; NMMA
has found no data to support these assumptions in the Stratus report.
Stratus surveyed system houses and many end-users, but never surveyed
boat builders, including small business boat builders. It may come as a
surprise, but according the US Coast Guard statistics, there are
approximately 3000 registered boat builders in the U.S. NMMA has about
400+ boat builder members. While Foam Supplies Inc. and other system
houses have alternative products available, a final rule that is
published in March 2007 and goes into effect nine months later will
leave insufficient time to change over every boat builder. The average
boat builder, who is a boat builder who has not converted to non-ODS
ahead of schedule, will not be aware of the final rule until his
supplier notifies him and will definitely not consider making any
changes until that time.

The accelerated ban that would go into effect on January 1, 2008
provides no provision for using up the existing material. Without a
sufficient time, such as that set out in the 2010 timeline, the average
boat builder will not be able to have their systems returned to the
system house, refitted for the new material, and retrain their staff to
properly apply the new material. This will incur a financial and
resource burden on the boat building industry and its suppliers that
physically cannot be met.

NMMA conducted an informal survey of its small business boat builders
and found that not one of these small business boat builders has
switched to the alternative or has begun taking the EPA identified six
transitional steps. This is because small business boat builders
understand that they were granted an extension until 2010. Regarding
information that has been collected from several of the larger boat
builders, NMMA has learned that some have switched to the ODS
alternatives, but many have not. The larger boat builders would have the
ability to purchase the ODS alternatives in a larger volume which would
have a direct impact on the cost. NMMA is concerned that EPA may not
have considered the economic impact that an accelerated implementation
would have on the small volume end user boat builders.

Furthermore, NMMA would ask EPA what is the actual benefit of an
accelerated phase out of ODS vs. the cost. If NMMA was able to better
understand the environmental benefit that would be achieved by beginning
a phase out of ODS materials two years in advance of 2010, then we could
better understand the measurable benefit of this rule. EPA needs to
consider that US boat builders have already committed resources to take
the necessary steps to replace more harmful ODS materials with less
harmful ODS materials, all with the understanding that they were making
these investments on a predetermined timeline.  The proposed change is
drastic only in its affect on the boat builder. NMMA believes that the
environmental benefit of eliminating all the emissions from all the boat
builders in the US on the ozone layer would be immeasurable.

NMMA has always supported the EPA efforts to phase out HCFC 22 and HCFC
142b by 2010. The system houses have been working hard to develop
alternatives and NMMA is confident that our small business US boat
builders will be able to complete the transitional steps to begin using
ODS alternatives by 2010.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide comment on behalf of boat
builders and we appreciate the SBA Office of Advocacy for bring this
proposal to the attention of the small business US boat manufacturers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    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 Class E airspace at Boone County Airport, Harrison, AR to
support IFR operations in the area.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (85 FR 33590, June 2, 2020) for Docket No. FAA-2020-0365 to
amend Class E surface airspace, by removing the southern extension, and
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, by
amending the southern extension and eliminating the northwest
extension, at Boone County Airport, Harrison, AR. In addition, the FAA
proposed to update the airport's descriptor, and replace the outdated
term Airport/Facility Directory with the term Chart Supplement.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No
comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraph 6005, of
FAA Order 7400.11D, dated August 8, 2019, and effective September 15,
2019, 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.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11D, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 8, 2019, and effective September 15,
2019. FAA Order 7400.11D is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11D lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic routes, and reporting
points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 amends Class E surface airspace, by removing the southern
extension, and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface, by amending the southern extension and eliminating the
northwest extension, at Boone County Airport, Harrison, AR, due to the
decommissioning of the (HRO) RWY 36 Outer Marker (OM) and Compass
Locator. The FAA found that BAKKY NDB has been decommissioned, and the
Harrison VOR approach no longer exists. This results in airspace
redesign for Boone County Airport. In addition, the FAA updates the
airport's descriptor by removing the unnecessary city name. Also, the
FAA replaces the outdated term Airport/Facility Directory with the term
Chart Supplement. These changes are necessary for continued safety and
management of IFR operations in the area.
    FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    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. 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 minimal. Since this is a routine matter that only
affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that
this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5a. 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.

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and Designation
of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; Michigan; Redesignation of
the Allegan County Areas to Attainment for Ozone

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is approving Michigan's request to redesignate the Allegan
County, Michigan nonattainment area to attainment for the 1997 8-hour
ozone standard because the request meets the statutory requirements for
redesignation under the Clean Air Act (CAA). The Michigan Department of
Natural Resources and Environment (MDNRE) submitted this request on May
12, 2010, and supplemented it on June 16, 2010.
    This approval involves several related actions. EPA is making a
determination under the CAA that the Allegan County area has attained
the 1997 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS).
This determination is based on three years of complete, quality-assured
and certified ambient air quality monitoring data for the 2007-2009
ozone seasons that demonstrate that the 8-hour ozone NAAQS has been
attained in the area. Preliminary data available for 2010 is consistent
with continued attainment. EPA is also approving, as a revision to the
Michigan State Implementation Plan (SIP), the State's plan for
maintaining the 8-hour ozone NAAQS through 2021 in the area. EPA is
approving the 2005 emissions inventory submitted with the redesignation
request as meeting the comprehensive emissions inventory requirement of
the CAA for the Allegan County area. Finally, EPA found adequate and is
approving the State's 2021 Motor Vehicle Emission Budgets (MVEBs) for
the Allegan County area.

DATES: This final rule is effective September 24, 2010.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action: Docket ID No.
EPA-R05-OAR-2010-0477. All documents in the docket are listed on the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ``we,''
``us,'' or ``our'' is used, we mean EPA. This supplementary information
section is arranged as follows:

Table of Contents

I. What is the background for these actions?
II. What comments did we receive on the proposed rule?
III. What action is EPA taking?
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews.

I. What is the background for these actions?

    The background for today's actions is discussed in detail in EPA's
July 20, 2010, proposal (75 FR 42018). In that rulemaking, we noted
that, under EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 50, the 8-hour ozone
standard is attained when the three-year average of the annual fourth-
highest daily maximum 8-hour average ozone concentrations is less than
or equal to 0.08 ppm. (See 69 FR 23857 (April 30, 2004) for further
information.) Under the CAA, EPA may redesignate nonattainment areas to
attainment if sufficient complete, quality-assured data are available
to determine that the area has attained the standard and if it meets
the other CAA redesignation requirements in section 107(d)(3)(E).
    The MDNRE submitted a request to redesignate the Allegan County
area to attainment for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard on May 12, 2010,
and supplemented it on June 16, 2010. The redesignation request is
based on three years of complete, quality-assured, certified data for
the period of 2007 through 2009, indicating the 8-hour NAAQS for ozone,
as promulgated in 1997, has been attained in the Allegan County area.
Preliminary monitoring data available for 2010 is consistent with
continued attainment. The July 20, 2010, proposed rule provides a
detailed discussion of how Michigan met this and other CAA
requirements.

II. What comments did we receive on the proposed rule?

    EPA provided a 30-day review and comment period. The comment period
closed on August 19, 2010. EPA received comments in support of the
redesignation from Consumers Energy. EPA received no adverse comments
on the proposed rule.

III. What action is EPA taking?

    EPA is making a determination that the Allegan County area has
attained the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS. EPA is also approving the
maintenance plan SIP revisions for the Allegan County area. EPA's
approval of the maintenance plan is based on the State's demonstration
that the plan meets the requirements of section 175A of the CAA. After
evaluating the redesignation requests submitted by MDNRE, EPA believes
that the request meets the redesignation criteria set forth in section
107(d)(3)(E) of the CAA. Therefore, EPA is approving the redesignation
of the Allegan County area from nonattainment to attainment for the
1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS. EPA is also approving MDNRE's 2005 base year
emissions inventory for the Allegan County area as meeting the
requirements of section 172(c)(3) of the CAA. Finally, EPA has found
adequate and is approving Michigan's 2021 MVEBs for the Allegan County
area.
    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(d), EPA finds there is good cause
for this action to become effective immediately upon publication. This
is because a delayed effective date is unnecessary due to the nature of
a redesignation to attainment, which relieves the area from certain CAA
requirements that would otherwise apply to it. The immediate effective
date for this action is authorized under both 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(1), which
provides that rulemaking actions may become effective less than 30 days
after publication if the rule ``grants or recognizes an exemption or
relieves a restriction,'' and section 553(d)(3), which allows an
effective date less than 30 days after publication ``as otherwise
provided by the agency for good cause found and published with the
rule.'' The purpose of the 30-day waiting period prescribed in section
553(d) is to give affected parties a reasonable time to adjust their
behavior and prepare before the final rule takes effect. Today's rule,
however, does not create any new regulatory requirements such that
affected parties would need time to prepare before the rule takes
effect. Rather, today's rule relieves the state of various requirements
for this 8-hour ozone nonattainment area. For these reasons, EPA finds
good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) for this action to become effective
on the date of publication of this action.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, redesignation of an area to attainment and the
accompanying approval of a maintenance plan under section 107(d)(3)(E)
are actions that affect the status of a geographical area and do not
impose any additional regulatory requirements on sources beyond those
imposed by state law. A redesignation to attainment does not in and of
itself create any new requirements, but rather results in the
applicability of requirements contained in the CAA for areas that have
been redesignated to attainment. Moreover, the Administrator is
required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions
of the CAA and applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40
CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to
approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA.
These actions do not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law and the CAA. For that reason, these actions:
     Are not ``significant regulatory actions'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Do not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Are 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.);
     Do not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Do not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Are not an economically significant regulatory action
based on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Are not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Are 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

     Do 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, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because redesignation is an action that affects the status of a
geographical area and does not impose any new regulatory requirements
on the tribes, impact any existing sources of air pollution on tribal
lands, nor impair the maintenance of ozone NAAQS in tribal lands.
However, because there are tribal lands located in Allegan County, we
provided the affected tribe with the opportunity to consult with EPA on
the redesignation. The affected tribe raised no concerns with the
proposed rule.
    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 CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by November 23, 2010. 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).)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Section 745A(b) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C
Act) (21 U.S.C. 379k-1(b)), amended by section 207 of the FDA
Reauthorization Act of 2017 (Pub. L. 115-52), requires that
presubmissions and submissions for devices under section 510(k),
513(f)(2)(A), 515(c), 515(d), 515(f), 520(g), 520(m), or 564 of the
FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360(k), 360c(f)(2)(A), 360e(c), 360e(d), 360e(f),
360j(g), 360j(m), or 360bbb-3) or section 351 of the Public Health
Service Act (42 U.S.C. 262) and any supplements to such presubmissions
or submissions, including appeals of those submissions, be submitted in
electronic format specified by FDA beginning on such date as specified
by FDA in final guidance. It also mandates that FDA issue a draft
guidance not later than October 1, 2019, providing for further
standards for the submission by electronic format, a timetable for
establishment of these further standards, and criteria for waivers of
and exemptions from the requirements.
    In addition, in the Medical Device User Fee Amendments of 2017
(MDUFA IV) Commitment Letter \1\ from the Secretary of Health and Human
Services to Congress, FDA committed to developing ``electronic
submission templates that will serve as guided submission preparation
tools for industry to improve submission consistency and enhance
efficiency in the review process'' and ``[b]y FY [fiscal year] 2020,
the Agency will issue a draft guidance document on the use of the
electronic submission templates.'' In addition, the Commitment Letter
states that ``[n]o later than 12 months after the close of the public
comment period, the Agency will issue a final guidance.'' FDA's
guidance document ``Providing Regulatory Submissions for Medical
Devices in Electronic Format--Submissions Under Section 745A(b) of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act'' issued July 15, 2020, (the
``parent guidance'') \2\ was intended to satisfy the final guidance
documents referenced in section 745A(b)(3) of the FD&C Act and the
MDUFA IV Commitment Letter. A notice of availability of the parent
guidance appeared in the Federal Register of July 15, 2020 (85 FR
42864).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Available at: https://www.fda.gov/media/102699/download.
    \2\ ``Providing Regulatory Submissions for Medical Devices in
Electronic Format--Submissions Under Section 745A(b) of the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act; Guidance for Industry and Food and
Drug Administration Staff'' available at https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/providing-regulatory-submissions-medical-devices-electronic-format-submissions-under-section-745ab.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the parent guidance, the Agency concluded that it is not
feasible to describe and implement the electronic format(s) that would
apply to all the submissions covered by section 745A(b) of the FD&C Act
in one guidance document. Accordingly, the parent guidance describes
how FDA interprets and plans to implement the requirements of section
745A(b)(3) of the FD&C Act, while individual guidances will be
developed to specify the formats for specific submissions and
corresponding timetables for implementation.
    This final guidance ``Electronic Submission Template for Medical
Device 510(k) Submissions'' is the first of these individual guidances
that provides further standards for the submission of 510(k)s by
electronic format, a timetable for establishment of these further
standards, and criteria for waivers of and exemptions from the
requirements. At this time, the electronic Submission Template And

Resource (eSTAR) is the only electronic submission template available
to prepare a complete 510(k) electronic submission using the guided
prompts for the collection of structured and unstructured data.
    All 510(k) submissions, including original submissions for
Traditional, Special, and Abbreviated 510(k)s, and subsequent
Supplements and Amendments (amendments include add-to-files and
appeals), and any other subsequent submissions to an original
submission unless exempted in this final guidance, will be required to
be submitted as electronic submissions as specified in the guidance.
Section 745A(b)(2) of the FD&C Act allows for FDA to set forth criteria
for exemptions and waivers from electronic submission requirements. FDA
has identified such criteria in the final guidance document. FDA is
identifying October 1, 2023, as the date on which the 510(k) electronic
submission requirements will take effect.
    A notice of availability of the draft guidance appeared in the
Federal Register of September 29, 2021 (86 FR 53965). FDA considered
comments received and revised the guidance as appropriate in response
to the comments, including updated criteria for exemptions;
clarification of the technical screening hold; and description of the
transition period and effective date on which 510(k) electronic
submissions will be required.
    In section 745A(b) of the FD&C Act, Congress granted explicit
statutory authorization to FDA to specify in guidance the statutory
requirement for electronic submissions solely in electronic format by
providing standards, a timetable, and criteria for waivers and
exemptions. To the extent that this final guidance provides such
requirements under section 745A(b)(3) of the FD&C Act (i.e., standards,
timetable, criteria for waivers of and exemptions), indicated by the
use of the mandatory words, such as must or required, this document is
not subject to the usual restrictions in FDA's good guidance practice
regulations, such as the requirement that guidances not establish
legally enforceable responsibilities. (See Sec.  10.115(d).)
    To the extent that this final guidance describes recommendations
that are not standards, timetable, criteria for waivers of, or
exemptions under section 745A(b)(3) of the FD&C Act, it is being issued
in accordance with FDA's good guidance practices regulation (Sec.
10.115). This guidance represents the current thinking of FDA on this
topic. It does not establish any rights for any person and is not
binding on FDA or the public. You can use an alternative approach if it
satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations.
This final guidance contains both binding and nonbinding provisions.

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2012-0152; Directorate Identifier 2011-NM-059-AD;
Amendment 39-17092; AD 2012-12-12]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Airbus Model A330-200 series airplanes; Airbus Model A330-200 Freighter
series airplanes; Airbus Model A330-300 series airplanes; Airbus Model
A340-200 series airplanes; and Airbus Model A340-300 series airplanes.
This AD was prompted by reports of sheared fasteners located on the
outside skin of the forward cargo door and cracks on the frame fork
ends, as well as cracks of the aft cargo door frame 64A. This AD
requires performing a detailed inspection of the outer skin rivets at
the frame fork ends of the forward and aft cargo door for sheared,
loose, and missing rivets; repairing the outer skin rivets, if
necessary; and performing repetitive inspections. We are issuing this
AD to detect and correct sheared, loose, or missing fasteners on the
forward and aft cargo door frame, which could result in the loss of
structural integrity of the forward and aft cargo door.

DATES: This AD becomes effective July 30, 2012.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of July 30,
2012.

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 February 23, 2012
(77 FR 10691). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for
the specified products. The MCAI states:

    Two operators have reported cases of some sheared fasteners on
the outside skin of the forward cargo door, detected during walk
around checks. Further inspections revealed crack findings on the
frame (FR) fork ends.
    In addition, during a scheduled maintenance check, the aft cargo
door frame 64A of an aeroplane has been found cracked for a length
of more than 3 inches. Outer skin rivets were also found sheared. At
time of findings the aeroplane had accumulated 10564 flight cycles
(FC), i.e. below the 12000 FC threshold defined in DGAC [Direction
G[eacute]n[eacute]rale de l'Aviation Civile] France AD F-2001-124(B)
and DGAC France AD F-2001-126(B) [which corresponds with FAA AD
2001-16-01, Amendment 39-12369 (66 FR 40874, August 6, 2001], which
require a special detailed inspection of the aft cargo compartment
door.
    In case of cracked or ruptured (forward or aft) cargo door
frame, the loads will be transferred to the remaining structural
elements. Such second load path is able to sustain the loads for a
limited number of flight cycles only. Rupture of two vertical frames
could result in the loss of the structural integrity of the forward
or aft cargo door.
    For the above described reasons, this [EASA] AD requires
repetitive detailed visual inspections of the aft and forward cargo
doors outer skin for sheared, loose or missing rivets at all frame
fork ends and the accomplishment of the applicable corrective
actions [repair if necessary].
    This [EASA] AD is considered to be an interim action, further
actions might be required to revise/supersede the above mentioned
DGAC France ADs.
    This [EASA] AD is revised in order to recognize that aeroplanes
on which Airbus modification 44852 has been embodied in production
are not affected by the repetitive inspection requirements of this
[EASA] AD on the Aft Cargo Compartment Door.

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 (77 FR 10691, February 23,
2012) 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.

Clarification of the Repetitive Inspections

    For clarification purposes, we changed the interval for the
repetitive inspections in paragraph (g) of this AD to the following:
``* * * at intervals not to exceed 800 flight cycles.'' The repetitive
interval was stated incorrectly in the NPRM (77 FR 10691, February 23,
2012) as 800 ``total'' flight cycles.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 55 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of
this AD to the U.S. operators to be $4,675, or $85 per product.
    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in 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 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 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.
    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 (77 FR 10691, February 23,
2012), 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.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2011-1320; Directorate Identifier 2011-NM-208-AD;
Amendment 39-17066; AD 2012-11-03]
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 all The
Boeing Company Model 777 airplanes. This AD was prompted by four
reports of retaining cross bolt hardware not fully engaged into the
fuse pins of the forward trunnion lower housing of the main landing
gear (MLG), which could result in an incorrect MLG emergency landing
break-away sequence. This AD requires a detailed inspection of the fuse
pin cross bolts and fuse pins of the left and right MLG forward
trunnion lower housing to verify that the cross bolts are correctly
installed and that there are no missing fuse pins, and replacement of
the fuse pins if necessary. We are issuing this AD to prevent an
incorrect emergency landing MLG break-away sequence, which could result
in puncturing of the wing box and consequent fuel leaks and an airplane
fire. Failure of the fuse pins could also result in a possible landing
gear collapse causing a runway excursion during take-off or landing.

DATES: This AD is effective July 9, 2012.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of July 9, 2012.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact

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 published in the Federal Register on December 15, 2011 (76 FR
77937). That NPRM proposed to require a detailed inspection of the fuse
pin cross bolts and fuse pins of the forward trunnion lower housing of
the left and right MLG to verify that the cross bolts are correctly
installed and that there are no missing fuse pins, and replacing all
fuse pins in the MLG forward trunnion upper and lower housing with new
fuse pins if necessary.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the proposal
(76 FR 77937, December 15, 2011) and the FAA's response to each
comment.

Support for the NPRM (76 FR 77937, December 15, 2011)

    United Airlines stated it concurs with the proposed rule (76 FR
77937, December 15, 2011) to inspect for the correct installation of
the cross bolts and the fuse pins to ensure a high level of safety for
the 777 fleet.
    Thomas Hayden Barnes stated that he supports efforts to ensure
airline safety and the proposed rule (76 FR 77937, December 15, 2011).

Request To Clarify Fuse Pin Replacement

    American Airlines (American) and FedEx requested clarification as
to whether the NPRM (76 FR 77937, December 15, 2011) requires changing
all fuse pins on both left and right MLG even if the discrepant
condition is only found on one side of the airplane MLG.
    We agree to clarify the fuse pin replacement by changing paragraph
(g) of the final rule to read, in part: ``If any cross bolt of the MLG
forward trunnion lower housing is not installed correctly, or if any
fuse pin of the MLG forward trunnion lower housing is missing: Before
further flight, replace all fuse pins in the MLG forward trunnion upper
and lower housing on the side, or sides of the airplane, where the
missing or incorrectly installed fuse pin/pins were discovered * * *.''

Request To Use Maintenance Pits and Clarify Procedure

    American requested that the NPRM (76 FR 77937, December 15, 2011)
permit the use of maintenance pits in lieu of jacking the airplane, as
specified in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777-57A0090, dated August
24, 2011. American stated that it is acceptable to stabilize the
airplane on jacks and lower maintenance pits until the wheels do not
touch the surface, and accomplishes the same effect of unloading the
airplane weight from the trunnion for the purposes of changing the fuse
pins.
    American also noted that the phrase ``until the wheels are just off
the ground'' in Part 2 of the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing
Alert Service Bulletin 777-57A0090, dated August 24, 2011, might be
construed to be a dimension without tolerance.
    We agree that the use of lowered maintenance pits to unload the MLG
does have the same effect as lifting. We also agree that the meaning of
the phrase ``just off the ground'' is a dimension without tolerance. We
have changed paragraph (g) of the final rule to specify that step 1 in
Part 2 of paragraph 3.B. of the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing
Alert Service Bulletin 777-57A0090, dated August 24, 2011, is not
considered regulatory for the purposes of this AD.

Request To Change Applicability

    Boeing and FedEx requested that the applicability of the NPRM (76
FR 77937, December 15, 2011) list only the airplanes specified in
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777-57A0090, dated August 24, 2011.
Boeing stated that airplanes not listed in this service information
have been inspected during production to ensure they do not have the
unsafe condition. FedEx stated that it currently flies 6 aircraft that
are not listed in the NPRM, and is adding new aircraft to its fleet,
none of which will be listed in the NPRM.
    We agree. The intent of the AD is to ensure that inspections are
done on airplanes on which Boeing was unable to confirm that the cross
bolts are installed correctly and on which there are no missing fuse
pins. We have changed paragraph (c) of the final rule to apply to the
airplanes identified in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777-57A0090,
dated August 24, 2011.

Additional Change Made to This Final Rule

    We have removed Note 1 that followed paragraph (g) in the NPRM (76
FR 77937, December 15, 2011) from the final rule. That information is
contained in Note 7 of the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 777-57A0090, dated August 24, 2011, and does not need
to be included in the AD.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (76 FR 77937, December 15, 2011) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (76 FR 77937, December 15, 2011).
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of the AD.

 Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 166 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per    Cost on U.S.
                  Action                            Labor cost           Parts cost    product       operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Detailed Inspection......................  3 work-hours x $85 per hour           $0         $255         $42,330
                                            = $255.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements
that would be required based on the results of the inspection. We have
no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need these
replacements.

                                               On-Condition Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                Action                        Labor cost               Parts cost            Cost per product
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Replace fuse pins....................  44 work-hours x $85 per  Between $15,216 and      Between $18,956 and
                                        hour = $3,740.           $52,620.                 $56,360.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this AD may be
covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected
individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost
estimate.

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.
