14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2012-0589; Directorate Identifier 2011-NM-189-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Fokker Services B.V. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede two existing airworthiness directives
(AD) that apply to certain Fokker Services B.V. Model F.28 Mark 0100
airplanes. The first existing AD currently requires removing the
actuator from the fuel-balance transfer-valve (FBTV) and installing a
locking device on the FBTV. The second existing AD currently requires
inspecting to verify that the position indicator of the FBTV is in the
closed position and deactivating the fuel-balance transfer-system.
Since we issued those ADs, we have received reports that the FBTV was
inadvertently reactivated after required de-activation measures were
undone. This proposed AD would require installing an FBTV locking
device. We are proposing this AD to prevent fuel starvation and
consequently a double-engine flameout, possibly resulting in a forced
landing, damage to the airplane, and injury to occupants.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by July 23, 2012.

Discussion

    On June 23, 1994, we issued AD 94-14-05, Amendment 39-8957 (59 FR
35237, July 11, 1994), and on March 21, 1996, we issued AD 96-07-06,
Amendment 39-9555 (61 FR 14014, March 29, 1996). Those ADs required
actions intended to address an unsafe condition on Model F.28 Mark 0100
airplanes.
    Since we issued AD 94-14-05, Amendment 39-8957 (59 FR 35237, July
11, 1994), and AD 96-07-06, Amendment 39-9555 (61 FR 14014, March 29,
1996): The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the
Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has
issued EASA Airworthiness Directive 2011-0158, dated August 26, 2011
(referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for the specified products. The MCAI states:

    Some Fokker F28 Mark 0100 (Fokker 100) aeroplanes were delivered
from the production line with a Fuel-Balance Transfer-System (FBTS)
installed. Other Fokker 100 aeroplanes were delivered with only FBTS
provisions and for some of those, an option existed for in-service
activation of the FBTS, through Fokker Service Bulletin (SB) SBF100-
28-021.
    The FBTS was designed to be used during maintenance activities
to move the Centre of Gravity (CG) forward by transferring fuel from
the main tanks to the centre tank through the crossfeed system and a
Fuel-Balance Transfer-Valve (FBTV).
    In 1993, a dormant failure mode was discovered, which could lead
to fuel starvation and consequently to a double engine flame-out,
possibly resulting in a forced landing, damage to the aeroplane and
injury to occupants. To address and correct this unsafe condition,
CAA-NL [Civil Aviation Authority--Netherlands] issued AD BLA 93-160,
which required modification of the FBTV (Fokker SBF100-28-029)
[which corresponds to FAA AD 94-14-05, Amendment 39-8957 (59 FR
35237, July 11, 1994)], and later BLA 94-146, which required
deactivation of the FBTS (Fokker SBF100-28-030) [which corresponds
to FAA AD 96-07-06, Amendment 39-9555 (61 FR 14014, March 29,
1996)].
    Recently, one operator reported that on two aeroplanes, the FBTS
had inadvertently been reactivated. SBF100-28-030 had been

accomplished on both aeroplanes but apparently, (some of) the de-
activation measures introduced with that SB were later made undone.
Subsequent investigation also showed that Fokker SBF100-28-021,
containing instructions for activating the FBTS, had inadvertently
been left active when SBF100-28-029 and SBF100-28-030 were
published. To address this safety concern, Fokker Services have
issued SBF100-28-066, which introduces a task to deactivate the FBTS
to a greater extent than previously required. At the same time,
SBF100-28-021 has been cancelled by its Revision 1.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirements of CAA-NL [airworthiness directives] BLA 93-160 and BLA
94-146, which are superseded, and requires the accomplishment of
additional measures to deactivate the FBTS [modify the airplane by
installing an FBTV locking device], in accordance with the
instructions of Fokker Services SBF100-28-066.

You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Fokker Services B.V. has issued Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100-28-
066, dated June 30, 2011, which includes the following attachments (*
the issue date is not specified on the drawing):
     Fokker Manual Change Notification--Maintenance
Documentation MCNM-F100-145, dated June 30, 2011.
     Fokker Manual Change Notification--Operational

     Fokker Drawing W41190, Sheet 014, Issue P.*
     Fokker Drawing W41190, Sheet 016, Issue P.*
    The actions described in this service information are intended to
correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 2 products of U.S. registry.
    The actions that are required by AD 94-14-05, Amendment 39-8957 (59
FR 35237, July 11, 1994), and retained in this proposed AD take about 1
work-hour per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per work hour.
Required parts cost about $250 per product. Based on these figures, the
estimated cost of the currently required actions is $335 per product.
    The actions required by AD 96-07-06, Amendment 39-9555 (61 FR
14014, March 29, 1996), and retained in this proposed AD take about 1
work-hour per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per work hour.
Required parts cost about $0 per product. Based on these figures, the
estimated cost of the currently required actions is $85 per product.
    We estimate that it would take about 5 work-hours per product to
comply with the new basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost about $650
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 the proposed AD
on U.S. operators to be $2,150, or $1,075 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    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 proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 28: Fuel.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by reports that the fuel-balance transfer-
valve (FBTV) was inadvertently reactivated after required de-
activation measures were undone. We are issuing this AD to prevent
fuel starvation and consequently a double-engine flameout, possibly
resulting in a forced landing, damage to the airplane, and injury to
occupants.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Retained Installation of a Locking Device for the FBTV

    This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (a) of AD
94-14-05, Amendment 39-8957 (59 FR 35237, July 11, 1994). For
airplanes having serial numbers 11443, 11446 through 11449
inclusive, and 11456: Within 30 days after August 10, 1994 (the
effective date of AD 94-14-05), remove the actuator from the fuel-
balance transfer-valve, part number (P/N) 7933141J and install a
locking device on the fuel-balance transfer-valve, in accordance
with the Accomplishment Instructions of Fokker Service Bulletin
SBF100-28-029, Revision 1, dated November 30, 1993.

(h) Retained Inspection and Deactivation

    (1) This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraphs (a)
and (b) of AD 96-07-06, Amendment 39-9555 (61 FR 14014, March 29,
1996). For airplanes identified in Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100-
28-030, Revision 1, dated December 5, 1994: After April 29, 1996
(the effective date of AD 96-07-06), whenever the fuel balance
transfer system (FBTS) is used during maintenance, prior to further
flight, perform an inspection to verify that the position indicator
of the FBTV is in the closed position, in accordance with Fokker
Service Bulletin SBF100-28-030, Revision 1, dated December 5, 1994.
The inspection requirements of this paragraph must be accomplished
until the deactivation required by paragraph (h)(2) of this AD is
accomplished.
    (i) If the position indicator is in the closed position, no
further action is required by this paragraph.
    (ii) If the position indicator is in the open position, close
the FBTV, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of
Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100-28-030, Revision 1, dated December 5,
1994.
    (2) Within 90 days after April 29, 1996 (the effective date of
AD 96-07-06, Amendment 39-9555 (61 FR 14014, March 29, 1996)),
deactivate the FBTS in accordance with either Part 2 or Part 3, as
applicable, of the Accomplishment Instructions of Fokker Service
Bulletin SBF100-28-030, Revision 1, dated December 5, 1994.
Accomplishment of the deactivation constitutes terminating action
for the repetitive inspection requirements of paragraph (h)(1) of
this AD.

(i) New Requirements of This AD

    Within 12 months after the effective date of this AD, modify the
airplane by installing an FBTV locking device, in accordance with
the Accomplishment Instructions of Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100-
28-066, dated June 30, 2011, which includes the attachments
identified in paragraphs (i)(1) through (i)(5) of this AD (* the
issue date is not specified on the drawing.)

[Docket No. QF07-116-000]

State University of New York, Old Westbury; Notice of Self-
Certification of Qualifying Status of a Cogeneration Facility

June 29, 2007.
    Take notice that on March 15, 2007, the State University of New
York (SUNY), 223 Store Hill Road, Old Westbury, New York 11568 filed
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission a notice of self-
certification of a facility as a qualifying cogeneration facility
pursuant to 18 CFR 292.207(a) of the Commission's regulations.
    Description of facility:
    (A) The cogeneration facility produces electricity and high
temperature hot water (250 [deg]F to 350 [deg]F),
    (B) the energy source used is natural gas,
    (C) the power production equipment is a GE Jenbacher Model JMS 612
GS NL Gaseous Generator Set. It uses a Stamford HVS 1804R2 generator
with a gross rated capacity of 1778 kW and net capacity of 1723 kW at
unity power factor,
    (D) the cogeneration facility is located on the SUNY Old Westbury
campus, in the boiler room.
    The cogeneration facility expects to interconnect to the Long
Island Power Authority (LIPA) and LIPA will provide standby, back-up
and maintenance power.
    A notice of self-certification does not institute a proceeding
regarding qualifying facility status; a notice of self-certification
provides notice that the entity making filing has determined the
Facility meets the applicable criteria to be a qualifying facility. Any
person seeking to challenge such qualifying facility status may do so
by filing a motion pursuant to 18 CFR 292.207(d)(iii).
    This filing is accessible online at http://www.ferc.gov, using the

``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription''
link on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive e-mail
