Airworthiness Directives; Goodrich Evacuation Systems Approved
Under Technical Standard Orders (TSOs) TSO-C69, TSO-C69a, TSO-C69b, and
TSO-C69c, Installed on Various Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, and Airbus
Transport Category Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Goodrich evacuation systems approved under Technical Standard Orders
(TSOs) TSO-C69, TSO-C69a, TSO-C69b, and TSO-C69c, installed on certain
Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, and Airbus transport category airplanes. For
certain systems, this AD requires replacing the evacuation system's
shear-pin restraints with new ones. For certain other systems, this AD
requires an inspection for manufacturing lot numbers; and a general
visual inspection of the shear-pin restraint for discrepancies, and
corrective actions if necessary. This AD results from several reports
of corroded shear-pin restraints that prevented Goodrich evacuation
systems from deploying properly. We are issuing this AD to prevent
failure of an evacuation system, which could impede an emergency
evacuation and increase the chance of injury to passengers and
flightcrew during the evacuation.

DATES: This AD is effective April 28, 2008.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of April 28,
2008.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain other publication listed in this AD as of March
11, 2008 (73 FR 6586, February 5, 2008).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an airworthiness directive (AD) that would apply to
certain Goodrich evacuation systems approved under Technical Standard
Orders (TSOs) TSO-C69, TSO-C69a, TSO-C69b, and TSO-C69c, installed on
certain Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, and Airbus transport category
airplanes. That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on June 8,
2007 (72 FR 31761). For certain systems, that NPRM proposed to require
replacing the evacuation systems shear-pin restraints with new ones.
For certain other systems, that NPRM proposed to require an inspection
for manufacturing lot numbers; and a general visual inspection of the
shear-pin restraint for discrepancies, and corrective actions if
necessary.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comments received from the 5 commenters.

Supportive Comments

    Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA), and Air
Transport Association (ATA), on behalf of its member Continental
Airlines, support the intent of the rule. Continental states that it
has captured Goodrich Service Bulletin 25-343 on a total of 969 slide
assemblies since the service bulletin's October 2003 release.

Request To Combine Two AD Actions Into One AD Action

    ATA, on behalf of its member United Airlines, notes that this NPRM
is similar to NPRM 2005-NM-139-AD (AD 2008-03-05, amendment 39-15354
(73 FR 6586, February 5, 2008)). United requests that this AD action be
incorporated into NPRM 2005-NM-139-AD.
    We do not agree with the commenter's request. While the evacuation
slides affected by this AD and AD 2008-03-05 are identified in the same
service bulletin and have the same unsafe condition, the individual
evacuation slides were approved under different certification
processes. This AD affects certain evacuation slides that were approved
under a TSO that specified certain requirements for evacuation slides.
AD 2008-03-05 affects airplanes that had certain other evacuation
slides approved as part of a type certificate. The TSO approval process
specifies the airplane model(s) on which a specific evacuation slide
can be installed. These two approval processes affect how we issue ADs.
We have not changed this AD or AD 2008-03-05 in this regard.

Request To Extend Compliance Times

    ATA, on behalf of its member United Airlines, requests that the
compliance times be extended from 18 months after the effective date of
the AD for Model 767 airplane off-wing evacuation systems and 36 months
after the effective date of the AD for the other evacuation systems to
36 and 48 months respectively. The commenters state that extended
compliance times would match routine overhaul cycles, account for parts
lead-time, take into consideration the large quantity of affected
evacuation systems, and relieve a burden on resources and capacity.
    We disagree with the request to extend the compliance times. A
significant number of affected evacuation systems have already been
modified. We have received confirmation from Goodrich that parts are
available to support the 18- and 36-month compliance times. In
developing an appropriate compliance time for this AD, we considered
the manufacturer's recommendation, the degree of urgency associated
with the subject unsafe condition, and the average utilization of the
affected fleet. In light of all of these factors, we find that a
compliance time of 18 months for Goodrich evacuation systems installed
on Boeing Model 767 off-wing ramp/slide units and 36 months for all
other evacuation systems represents an appropriate interval of time for
affected airplanes to continue to operate without compromising safety.
We have not changed the AD in this regard.

Request To Accept Certain Service Bulletins for Accomplishment

    ATA, on behalf of its member United Airlines, requests that the FAA
accept accomplishment of either Goodrich Service Bulletin 25-343,
Revision 1, dated January 31, 2005; or Revision 2, dated October 11,
2006; after the effective date of the AD. The commenters explain that
there are no technical or procedural changes between these revisions
and the most recent revision, Revision 3, dated January 12, 2007.
    We disagree with the request to accept accomplishment of earlier
service bulletin revisions after the effective date of the AD. It is
our policy to require compliance with the most recent revision of
service information. However, in paragraph (k) of this AD, we provide
credit for accomplishment of the earlier service bulletin revisions if
done before the effective date of the AD. We have not changed the AD in
this regard.

Request To Refer to Current Service Bulletins as Acceptable for Credit

    Goodrich, the evacuation slide manufacturer, requests that we give
credit for accomplishing paragraph (h) of this AD to airlines/overhaul
shops that might have accomplished Revision 3 of Goodrich Service
Bulletin 25-343, dated January 12, 2007; and Revision 2 of Goodrich
Service Bulletin 25-344, dated October 11, 2006; before the effective
date of this AD. Goodrich states that ``The wording of paragraph (k)
does not clearly provide credit for actions done in compliance with 25-
343, revision 3, and 25-344, revision 2, unless it occurs `after the
effective date of this AD'.''
    We infer that Goodrich interprets the text of paragraph (k) of the
AD to mean that operators that have accomplished Revision 3 of Goodrich
Service Bulletin 25-343 or Revision 2 of Goodrich Service Bulletin 25-
344 before the effective date would be required to accomplish those
actions again after the effective date to comply with this AD. We find
that clarification is necessary. Paragraph (e) of this AD states that
the actions must be done as specified in the AD ``unless the actions
have already been done,'' so it is not necessary to repeat this
information in paragraph (k) of the AD. We refer to Goodrich Service
Bulletin 25-343, Revision 3, dated January 12, 2007; and Goodrich
Service Bulletin 25-344, Revision 2, dated October 11, 2006; as the
sources of service information for accomplishing the requirements of
paragraph (h) of this AD. Accomplishing the requirements of

this AD in accordance with these service bulletins before the effective
date of the AD is acceptable for compliance with this AD. We have not
changed the AD in this regard.

Request To Allow Other Methods of Recording Compliance

    ATA, on behalf of its member United Airlines, states that the
Accomplishment Instructions of Goodrich Service Bulletin 25-343
instruct the operator to record service bulletin compliance on the
system information card. United requests that the method of recording
compliance on the card be made optional, as operators have alternative
means to record compliance and the system information card might not be
available.
    We infer that the commenters want us to revise the AD to allow
different methods of recording compliance with the service bulletin. We
agree with the request to revise the AD. We have revised paragraph (h)
of this AD to specify that recording compliance with the service
bulletin in accordance with the service bulletin instructions is not
required by this AD. Operators may record service bulletin compliance
whichever way their applicable record-keeping system specifies.
However, recording compliance with the AD is still required. Recording
AD compliance is accomplished in a maintenance log, on job/task cards,
or some other method approved by the operator's principal inspector or
local flight standards district office. We have not changed the AD in
this regard.

Request To Reverse Order of Sub-Paragraphs

    Goodrich requests that we reverse the sequence of paragraphs (f)(1)
and (f)(2) of the NPRM so that the references to Tables 1 and 2 of the
AD are called out first before Table 3.
    We agree with the commenter's request. Revising the sequence of the
paragraphs to match the sequence of the tables will reduce confusion.
We have changed paragraphs (f)(1) and (f)(2) of this AD as requested.

Clarification of Alternative Method of Compliance (AMOC) Paragraph

    We have revised this action to clarify the appropriate procedure
for notifying the principal inspector before using any approved AMOC on
any airplane to which the AMOC applies.

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. We also determined that
this change will not increase the economic burden on any operator or
increase the scope of the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    This AD affects certain Goodrich evacuation systems installed on
about 2,844 airplanes worldwide. This AD affects about 1,240 airplanes
of U.S. registry. The following table provides the estimated costs for
U.S. operators 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), 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.
    You can find our regulatory evaluation and the estimated costs of
compliance in the AD Docket.

Unsafe Condition

    (d) This AD is prompted by several reports of corroded shear-pin
restraints that prevented Goodrich evacuation systems from deploying
properly. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of an evacuation
system, which could impede an emergency evacuation and increase the
chance of injury to passengers and flightcrew during the evacuation.

Compliance

    (e) You are responsible for having the actions required by this
AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the
actions have already been done.

Service Bulletin Reference

    (f) The term ``service bulletin,'' as used in this AD, means the
following service bulletins, as applicable:
    (1) For Goodrich evacuation systems identified in Tables 1 and 2
of this AD: Goodrich Service Bulletin 25-343, Revision 3, dated
January 12, 2007; and
    (2) For Goodrich evacuation systems identified in Table 3 of
this AD: Goodrich Service Bulletin 25-344, Revision 2, dated October
11, 2006.

Compliance Times

    (g) Perform the actions specified in paragraph (h) of this AD at
the applicable compliance time specified in paragraph (g)(1) or
(g)(2) of this AD.
    (1) For Goodrich evacuation systems installed on Boeing Model
767 airplanes as off-wing ramp/slide units and identified in Table 1
of this AD: Do the actions within 18 months after the effective date
of this AD.

    (2) For Goodrich evacuation systems other than those identified
in paragraph (g)(1) of this AD: Do the actions within 36 months
after the effective date of this AD.

Replacement, or Inspections and Corrective Action

    (h) Do the actions specified in paragraph (h)(1) or (h)(2) of
this AD in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of the
applicable service bulletin, except where the service bulletin
specifies to record service bulletin compliance on a system
information card, this AD requires recording accomplishment in
accordance with an FAA-approved record-keeping system.
    (1) For Goodrich evacuation systems identified in paragraphs
(c)(1)(i) through (c)(1)(xxxi) inclusive in Table 1 of this AD,
(c)(2)(i) through (c)(2)(iii) inclusive in Table 2 of this AD, and
(c)(3)(i) through (c)(3)(xviii) inclusive in Table 3 of this AD:
Replace the shear-pin restraints with new restraints.
    (2) For Goodrich evacuation systems identified in paragraphs
(c)(1)(xxxii) through (c)(1)(lxii) inclusive in Table 1 of this AD,
(c)(2)(iv) through (c)(2)(ix) inclusive in Table 2 of this AD, and
(c)(3)(xix) through (c)(3)(xxx) inclusive in Table 3 of this AD: Do
an inspection to verify the manufacturing lot number of the shear-
pin restraint. A review of airplane maintenance records is
acceptable in lieu of this inspection if the manufacturing lot
number of the shear-pin restraint can be conclusively determined
from that review.
    (i) If a manufacturing lot number from 3375 through 5551
inclusive is found, before further flight, replace the shear-pin
restraint with a new restraint.
    (ii) If a manufacturing lot number from 3375 through 5551
inclusive is not found, do a general visual inspection of the shear-
pin restraints for discrepancies (i.e., corrosion, security of pin
retainer/label, overall condition, and lack of play). If any
discrepancy is found, before further flight, replace the shear-pin
restraint with a new restraint.

    Note 1: For the purposes of this AD, a general visual inspection
is: ``A visual examination of an interior or exterior area,
installation, or assembly to detect obvious damage, failure, or
irregularity. This level of inspection is made from within touching
distance unless otherwise specified. A mirror may be necessary to
ensure visual access to all surfaces in the inspection area. This
level of inspection is made under normally available lighting
conditions such as daylight, hangar lighting, flashlight, or
droplight and may require removal or opening of access panels or
doors. Stands, ladders, or platforms may be required to gain
proximity to the area being checked.''

Parts Installation

    (i) As of the effective date of this AD, no Goodrich evacuation
system identified in paragraph (h)(1) of this AD may be installed on
any airplane, unless the shear-pin restraints have been replaced
with new restraints in accordance with paragraph (h)(1) of this AD.
    (j) As of the effective date of this AD, no Goodrich evacuation
system identified in paragraph (h)(2) of this AD may be installed on
any airplane, unless the shear-pin restraints have been inspected
and found acceptable in accordance with paragraph (h)(2) of this AD.

 Credit for Actions Done Using Previous Service Information

    (k) Replacements and inspections done before the effective date
of this AD in accordance with the applicable service bulletins
identified in Table 4 of this AD, are acceptable for compliance with
the requirements of paragraph (h) of this AD.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 65

[Docket No. FEMA--B-1011]

Changes in Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Interim rule.

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

SUMMARY: This interim rule lists communities where modification of the
Base (1% annual-chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) is appropriate because
of new scientific or technical data. New flood insurance premium rates
will be calculated from the modified BFEs for new buildings and their
contents.

DATES: These modified BFEs are currently in effect on the dates listed
in the table below and revise the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) in
effect prior to this determination for the listed communities.
    From the date of the second publication of these changes in a
newspaper of local circulation, any person has ninety (90) days in
which to request through the community that the Mitigation Assistant
Administrator of FEMA reconsider the changes. The modified BFEs may be
changed during the 90-day period.

ADDRESSES: The modified BFEs for each community are available for
inspection at the office of the Chief Executive Officer of each
community. The respective addresses are listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William R. Blanton, Jr., Engineering
Management Branch, Mitigation Directorate, Federal Emergency Management
Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The modified BFEs are not listed for each
community in this interim rule. However, the address of the Chief
Executive Officer of the community where the modified BFE
determinations are available for inspection is provided.
    Any request for reconsideration must be based on knowledge of
changed conditions or new scientific or technical data.
    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.

    For rating purposes, the currently effective community number is
shown and must be used for all new policies and renewals.
    The modified BFEs are the basis for the floodplain management
measures that the community is required to either adopt or to show
evidence of being already in effect in order to qualify or to remain
qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
    These modified BFEs, 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 the
other Federal, State, or regional entities. The changes in BFEs are in
accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This interim rule is
categorically excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10,
Environmental Consideration. An environmental impact assessment has not
been prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. As flood elevation determinations are
not within the scope of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-
612, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.
    Regulatory Classification. This interim 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 interim rule involves no
policies that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This interim rule
meets the applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.
