[Docket No. FAA-2009-0544; Directorate Identifier 2009-NE-37-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; International Aero Engines AG (IAE)
V2500-A1, V2522-A5, V2524-A5, V2525-D5, V2527-A5, V2527E-A5, V2527M-A5,
V2528-D5, V2530-A5, and V2533-A5 Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for all International Aero Engines AG (IAE) V2500-A1, V2525-D5 and
V2528-D5 turbofan engines and certain serial numbers (S/Ns) of IAE
V2522-A5, V2524-A5, V2527-A5, V2527E-A5, V2527M-A5, V2530-A5, and
V2533-A5 turbofan engines. For certain S/Ns of V2500-A1, V2522-A5,
V2524-A5, V2527-A5, V2527E-A5, V2527M-A5, V2530-A5, and V2533-A5 series
turbofan engines, this proposed AD would require initial and repetitive
on-wing ultrasonic inspections (UIs) of the high-pressure compressor
(HPC) stage 3 to 8 drum for cracks. As mandatory terminating action to
the repetitive inspections, this proposed AD would require removal from
service of the fully silver plated nuts attaching the HPC stage 3 to 8
drum to the HPC stage 9 to 12 drum, removal of silver residue from the
HPC stage 3 to 8 drum, and fluorescent penetrant inspection (FPI) of
the stage 3 to 8 drum within a specified time. For all other engines,
this proposed AD would require removal from service of the fully silver
plated nuts attaching the HPC stage 3 to 8 drum to the HPC stage 9 to
12 drum, removal of silver residue from the HPC stage 3 to 8 drum, and
FPI of the HPC stage 3 to 8 drum at the next drum piece-part exposure.
This proposed AD results from reports of 39 HPC stage 3 to 8 drums
found cracked since March 2009. We are proposing this AD to prevent
uncontained failure of the HPC stage 3 to 8 drum, which could result in
damage to the airplane.

DATES: We must receive any comments on this proposed AD by April 13,
2010.

Discussion

    Since March 2009, we received reports of 12 V2500-A5 series HPC
stage 3 to 8 drums found cracked during shop visit inspections, and
reports of 24 V2500-A5 series HPC stage 3 to 8 drums found cracked
during on-wing inspections. We also received reports of 3 V2500-A1
stage 3 to 8 drums found cracked during shop visits. Analysis revealed
that high levels of chlorine in the engine, combined with engine
operation in high temperature and high humidity environments, led to
depletion of the silver plating on the exterior of the nuts that attach
the HPC stage 3 to 8 drum to the HPC stage 9 to 12 drum. The depletion
of the silver plating led to deposits of silver chloride on the HPC
stage 3 to 8 drum, causing stress corrosion and cracking. This
condition, if not corrected, could result in uncontained failure of the
HPC stage 3 to 8 drum, which could result in damage to the airplane.

Relevant Service Information

    We have reviewed and approved the technical contents of IAE Service
Bulletin (SB) No. V2500-ENG-72-0594,

Revision 5, dated November 23, 2009, and IAE SB No. V2500-ENG-0603,
Revision 1, dated December 18, 2009, which describe procedures for
performing initial and repetitive on-wing UIs of HPC stage 3 to 8 drums
for cracks. We have also reviewed and approved the technical contents
of IAE SB No. V2500-ENG-72-0601, Revision 1, dated December 18, 2009,
which describes procedures for removal of silver residue from the HPC
stage 3 to 8 drum. Although SB No. V2500-ENG-72-0601, Revision 1, dated
December 18, 2009, only specifies certain S/N engines in the
effectivity section, we are proposing to require accomplishing this
bulletin on all engines affected by this AD.
    V2500-A5 series engines with S/Ns listed in Groups ``A'' and ``D''
of IAE SB No. V2500-ENG-72-0594, Revision 5, dated November 23, 2009,
and V2500-A1 series engines with S/Ns listed in ``Group A'' of IAE SB
No. V2500-ENG-72-0603, Revision 1, dated December 18, 2009, are those
engines suspect of having been exposed to excessive levels of chlorine
contamination. These engines require initial and repetitive inspection
of the HPC stage 3 to 8 drum for cracks, and removal from service of
the fully silver plated nuts joining the HPC stage 3 to 8 drum to the
HPC stage 9 to 12 drum within 27 months from the effective date of the
proposed AD.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of the Proposed AD

    We have evaluated all pertinent information and identified an
unsafe condition that is likely to exist or develop on other products
of this same type design. We are proposing this AD, which would
require:

 For certain S/Ns of IAE V2500-A1, V2522-A5, V2524-A5, V2527-
A5, V2527E-A5, V2527M-A5, V2530-A5, and V2533-A5 turbofan engines:
    [cir] Initial and repetitive on-wing UIs of HPC stage 3 to 8 drums
for cracks; and
    [cir] As mandatory terminating action to the repetitive UIs, within
27 months from the effective date of this AD, removal from service of
the fully silver plated nuts attaching the HPC stage 3 to 8 drum to the
HPC stage 9 to 12 drum, removal of silver residue from the HPC stage 3
to 8 drums, and FPI of the HPC stage 3 to 8 drums.
 For all other engines, at the next piece-part exposure of the
HPC stage 3 to 8 drum, removal from service of the fully silver plated
nuts attaching the HPC stage 3 to 8 drum to the HPC stage 9 to 12 drum,
removal of silver residue from the HPC stage 3 to 8 drums, and FPI of
the HPC stage 3 to 8 drums.

The proposed AD would require you to use the service information
described previously to perform the inspections and removal of silver
residue.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 848 IAE V2500-A1,
V2522-A5, V2524-A5, V2525-D5, V2527-A5, V2527E-A5, V2527M-A5, V2528-D5,
V2530-A5, and V2533-A5 turbofan engines installed on airplanes of U.S.
registry. We estimate that 29 of these engines would require UIs, and
that it would take about 3 work-hours per engine to perform one UI. We
estimate that it would take about 2 work-hours per engine to perform
the FPI of the HPC stage 3 to 8 drum, and that the average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour. We also estimate that removal of silver residue
from the engine would cost about $2,600 per engine. Required parts
would cost about $795 per engine. Based on these figures, we estimate
the total cost of the proposed AD to U.S. operators to be $3,030,515.

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 have 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 that the proposed AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Would 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. You may get a copy of this summary at the
address listed under ADDRESSES.

RIN 1625-AA09

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Darby Creek, Essington, PA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is changing the operating regulation that
governs the Conrail railroad bridge over Darby Creek at mile marker
0.25 in Essington, PA. The bridge owner, Conrail, is modifying the
existing remote operating system which controls the bridge operations.
Cameras will be installed and the remote operating site will move from
its current location in Delair, NJ to Mt. Laurel, NJ. The train crew is
no longer required to stop and check the waterway for approaching
vessel traffic prior to initiating a bridge closure and mariners
requesting an opening for the bridge will have to contact the new
remote location.

DATES: This rule is effective December 19, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Documents mentioned in this preamble are part of docket

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

U.S.C. United States Code

A. Regulatory History and Information

    On August 1, 2014, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Darby Creek,
Essington, PA in the Federal Register (79 FR 44724). We received no
comments on the proposed rule. No public meeting was requested, and
none was held.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The bridge owner, Conrail, requested a change to 33 CFR 117.903
because they modified the sensor and visual equipment on site at their
bridge across Darby Creek. They also relocated the remote operation
station to a new location. The regulation is changing two aspects of
the bridge operation. Specifically, the location of the remote operator
and the installation of cameras to verify whether any vessels are
transiting the waterway before a bridge closure is initiated. This rule
does not change the operating schedule of the bridge.
    The scope of the waterway inspection is different between the
current on-site train crewmember inspection process and the range of
the proposed camera installation. There is also a difference in the
time it takes between the inspection and the initiation of the bridge
closure operations. Currently, the regulation requires an on-site train
crewmember to conduct an inspection of the waterway for vessels by
stopping the train approximately 200 feet north of the bridge site when
approached from the north and 300 feet south of the bridge site when
approached from the south. Once the train is stopped, the train
crewmember walks to the bridge site and physically looks up and down
the channel. The time it takes to stop the

train, walk to the bridge, conduct the inspection, walk back to the
train, and re-start the train takes 15-20 minutes. As changed, the
regulation allows the remote operating station to inspect the waterway
with cameras without first stopping the train which permits a more
efficient operating system.
    The closer the vessels are to the bridge, the more likely it is
that the train crewmember will see them using the process required by
the current regulation. Under the modified regulation, the camera
inspection of the waterway has the capability to zoom up and down
stream allowing for easier detection of a smaller vessel approaching
the bridge. After inspection of the waterway, using the cameras, the
bridge closing operations would then occur from a remote location at
the Mt. Laurel remote operating station.
    Currently, the bridge is in the open to navigation position between
April 1 and October 31 and operated by the bridge controller at the
remote operating station in Delair, NJ. The shift from the Delair, NJ
to the Mt. Laurel, NJ operating station enables Conrail to consolidate
its control of the train line and Darby Creek Bridge. By controlling
the track as well as the bridge operating mechanism at the Mt. Laurel
station, the remote operator has access to more information regarding
the anticipated arrival time for when the trains will be at the bridge
site. Information such as train speed and location directly contribute
to when the bridge will need to be closed. The shift of the remote
operating location to the Mt. Laurel location may shorten the duration
of the bridge closures due to the higher accuracy of information on
train speed and anticipated arrival time at the bridge site.
    The average tidal range for Darby Creek is 5 feet. Currents run on
average between 1-2 knots. The actual depth at the bridge ranges
between 15 and 20 feet. Darby Creek is used by several recreational
vessels during the summer boating season. There is no commercial vessel
traffic on Darby Creek.
    From April 1 to October 31, the bridge is left in the open to
navigation position and will only be lowered for the passage of train
and maintenance. Train activity in this location requires the bridge to
close to navigation four times a day Monday thru Friday. On Saturday
and Sunday, the bridge is used twice each day.
    From November 1 through March 31, the bridge is in the closed to
navigation position but will open if 24 hours notice is given.

C. Discussion of Comments, Changes and the Final Rule

    The Coast Guard provided a comment period of 45 days and no
comments were received therefore no changes were made. However, the
Coast Guard is making non-substantive changes in the Final Rule that
were not identified in the NPRM.
    The mile marker listed in 33 CFR Sec.  117.903 (a) describes the
bridge as being located at mile marker 0.3. Upon further review, the
description of the geographic location for this bridge is being revised
to reflect its actual location at mile marker 0.25. The regulatory text
has been updated to clarify (1) how the lights on the drawbridge
actually operate when the span is in motion and (2) change the
terminology channel traffic lights to center span lights. Also, the
paragraphs under 33 CFR 117.903(a) have been reorganized for
efficiency. None of these changes affect the intent of the NPRM or the
operation of the bridge.
    The drawbridge operating schedule will not change under the Final
Rule. From April 1 to October 31, the bridge will continue to be left
in the open to navigation position and will only be lowered for the
passage of train and maintenance. From November 1 through March 31, the
bridge is in the closed to navigation position but will open if 24
hours notice is given.

D. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes or executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Order 12866 or under
section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and Budget
has not reviewed it under those Orders. There are no changes to the
drawbridge operating schedule only to the methods used to operate the
drawbridge.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard received no comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rule. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C.
605(b) that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    This action will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons. There
are no changes to the drawbridge operating schedule. Vessels that can
safely transit under the bridge may do so at any time.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT,
above.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it does not have

implications for federalism. The Coast Guard did not receive any
comments relating to federalism. Accordingly, there were no changes to
the proposed regulatory text.

6. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

9. Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

10. Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

12. Energy Effects

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA)(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
that this action is one of a category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule promulgates the operating regulations or
procedures for drawbridges. This rule is categorically excluded, under
figure 2-1, paragraph (32)(e), of the Instruction.
    Under figure 2-1, paragraph (32)(e), of the Instruction, an
environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are not required for this rule.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 117

    Bridges.

    For the reasons discussed in the preamble, the Coast Guard amends
33 CFR part 117 as follows:

PART 117--DRAWBRIDGE OPERATION REGULATIONS

0
1. The authority citation for part 117 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  33 U.S.C. 499; 33 CFR 1.05-1; Department of Homeland
Security Delegation No. 0170.1.

0
2. Revise Sec.  117.903(a) to read as follows:

Sec.  117.903  Darby Creek.

    (a) The draw of the Conrail automated railroad bridge, mile 0.25,
at Essington, shall operate as follows:
    (1) The bridge will be operated remotely by the South Jersey Train
Dispatcher located in Mt. Laurel, NJ. Operational information will be
provided 24 hours a day by telephone at<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    (2) From April 1 through October 31, the draw shall be left in the
open position and will only be lowered for the passage of trains and to
perform periodic maintenance authorized in accordance with subpart A of
this part.
    (3) From November 1 through March 31, the draw shall open on signal
if at least 24 hours notice is given by telephone at<PHONE_NUMBER>.
Operational information will be provided 24 hours a day by telephone at
(856) 231-2282.
    (4) The timeframe to initiate the bridge closure will be not more
than 10 minutes before a train will arrive at the bridge location. If a
train, moving toward the bridge has crossed the home signal for the
bridge, the train may continue across the bridge and must clear the
bridge prior to stopping for any reason. Trains shall be controlled so
that any delay in opening of the draw shall not exceed fifteen minutes
except as provided in Sec.  117.31(b).
    (5) The bridge will be equipped with cameras and channel sensors to
visually and electronically ensure the waterway is clear before the
bridge closes. The video and sensors are located and monitored at the
remote operating location in Mt. Laurel, NJ. The channel sensors signal
will be a direct input to the bridge control system. In the event of
failure or obstruction of the infrared channel sensors, the bridge will
automatically stop closing and the South Jersey Train Dispatcher will
return the bridge to the open position. In the event of video failure
the bridge will remain in the full open position.
    (6) The Conrail Railroad center span light will change from fixed
green to flashing red anytime the bridge is not in the full open
position.
    (7) Prior to downward movement of the span, the horn will sound two
prolonged blasts, followed by a pause, and then two short blasts until
the bridge is seated and locked down. At the time of movement, the
center span light will change from fixed green to flashing red and
remain flashing until the bridge has returned to its full open
position.
    (8) When the train controller at Mt. Laurel has verified that rail
traffic has cleared, they will sound the horn five times to signal the
draw is about to return to its full open position.
    (9) During upward movement of the span, the horn will sound two
prolonged blasts, followed by a pause, and then sound two short blasts
until the bridge is in the full open position. The center span light
will continue to flash red until the bridge is in the fully open
position.
    (10) When the draw cannot be operated from the remote site, a
bridge tender must be called to operate the bridge in the traditional
manner. Personnel shall be dispatched to arrive

at the bridge as soon as possible, but not more than one hour after
malfunction or disability of the remote system.

Dear Tim:

On March 4, 2008, Mike Laney at RTI sent you this email requesting
comments, if any, on the data and calculations we performed using the
data you submitted to us on mercury and TOC.  We received one comment on
this information, which was to correct the coal mercury concentration
for the Unionbridge facility.  We received no other comments, so we are
assuming everything else is correct.  We need to begin using this
information this week in order to meet our rule schedule.  If you have
found any errors, please contact me as soon as possible.

Also, were you intending to send additional information on Unionbridge
coal?  We only have one data point at this time.  I was assuming that
you planned to take additional samples and send those to us.

Dear Mr. Matz:

As you may remember, I am working with Keith Barnett of the EPA on the
revisions to the Portland cement NESHAP. Specifically, I have been
compiling the data submitted by your company on the mercury and total
organic content of the raw materials and fuel used in the production of
cement. Attached is the data we compiled for the Lehigh facilities and
our estimate for each kiln of mercury emissions as well as total organic
content of the raw materials fed to the kiln. Also attached is a brief
overview of the approach used to estimate mercury emissions and the
total raw material TOC entering each kiln. At this time, we have not
entered the mercury and TOC data for the Leeds, Alabama facility as we
were waiting for an electronic version of the data, which were more
complex than other data submittals, to facilitate the data entry. We
were instructed by EPA to proceed without the data with the possibility
that it could be entered later.

Given the large amount of data that had to be entered into the database
and the complexity of some of the concentration and usage data, there
were opportunities for errors. We have checked the data as well as the
calculations for mistakes. Invariably it is likely that we have made
some data entry mistakes or we may have incorrectly interpreted data
that were submitted. We would appreciate your review of the data and
calculations and your feedback with any problems you find.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thanks again for
your assistance.

[Proposed Rules]
[Pages 43983-43987]
[FR Doc No: 2014-17781]

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

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2014-0487; Directorate Identifier 2014-NM-026-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2012-19-
11, which applies to certain The Boeing Company Model 737 airplanes. AD
2012-19-11 currently requires incorporating design changes to improve
the reliability of the cabin altitude warning system by installing a
redundant cabin altitude pressure switch, replacing the aural warning
module (AWM) with a new or reworked AWM, and changing certain wire
bundles or connecting certain previously capped and stowed wires as
necessary. For certain airplanes, AD 2012-19-11 also requires prior or
concurrent incorporation of related design changes by modifying the
instrument panels, installing light assemblies, modifying the wire
bundles, and installing a new circuit breaker, as necessary. Since we
issued AD 2012-19-11, we have determined that certain airplanes were
not included in the requirement to incorporate related design changes.
This proposed AD would add, for certain airplanes, a requirement to
incorporate related design changes. This proposed AD also, for certain
airplanes, no longer gives credit for accomplishing certain previous
actions. We are proposing this AD to prevent the loss of cabin altitude
warning, which could delay flightcrew recognition of a lack of cabin
pressurization, and could result in incapacitation of the flightcrew
due to hypoxia (a lack of oxygen in the body), and consequent loss of
control of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by September 12,
2014.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposed AD. Send your comments to an address
listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2014-0487;
Directorate Identifier 2014-NM-026-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposed AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this proposed AD.

Discussion

    On September 19, 2012, we issued AD 2012-19-11, Amendment 39-17206
(77 FR 60296, October 3, 2012), for certain The Boeing Company Model
737 airplanes. AD 2012-19-11 requires incorporating design changes to
improve the reliability of the cabin altitude warning system by
installing a redundant cabin altitude pressure switch, replacing the
AWM with a new or reworked AWM, and changing certain wire bundles or
connecting certain previously capped and stowed wires as necessary. For
certain airplanes, AD 2012-19-11 also requires prior or concurrent
incorporation of related design changes by modifying the instrument
panels, installing light assemblies, modifying the wire bundles, and
installing a new circuit breaker, as necessary. AD 2012-19-11 resulted
from a report of a flightcrew not receiving an aural warning during a
lack of cabin pressurization event. We issued AD 2012-19-11 to prevent
the loss of cabin altitude warning, which could delay flightcrew
recognition of a lack of cabin pressurization, and could result in
incapacitation of the flightcrew due to hypoxia (a lack of oxygen in
the body), and consequent loss of control of the airplane.

Other Related Rulemaking

    The concurrent actions for AD 2012-19-11, Amendment 39-17206 (77 FR
60296, October 3, 2012), are the primary corrective actions for AD
2011-03-14, Amendment 39-16598 (76 FR 6529, February 7, 2011), and AD
2013-02-05, Amendment 39-17326 (78 FR 6202, January 30, 2013). AD 2011-
03-14 and AD 2013-02-05 provide the necessary wiring configuration to
perform the corrective actions for AD 2012-19-11. AD 2011-03-14 (for
certain Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series
airplanes) and AD 2013-02-05 (for certain Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -
800, -900, and -900ER series airplanes) were issued to prevent failure
of the flightcrew to recognize and react to a valid cabin altitude
warning horn, which could result in incapacitation of the flightcrew
due to hypoxia (a lack of oxygen in the body), and consequent loss of
control of the airplane.

Actions Since AD 2012-19-11, Amendment 39-17206 (77 FR 60296, October
3, 2012), Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 2012-19-11, Amendment 39-17206 (77 FR 60296,
October 3, 2012), we have reviewed new service information for the
actions required by paragraph (g) of AD 2012-19-11, which refers to
Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-21-1164, Revision 1,
dated May 17, 2012, as one of the appropriate sources of service
information. Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-21-1164,
Revision 2, dated August 23, 2013, provides essentially the same
procedure for accomplishing the actions, except for certain airplanes,
Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-21-1164, Revision 2,
dated August 23, 2013, specifies to contact the manufacturer for the
installation and replacement of certain wire bundles.
    We also have reviewed new service information for the concurrent
actions required by paragraph (h) of AD 2012-19-11, Amendment 39-17206
(77 FR 60296, October 3, 2012), which refers to Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 737-31A1325, dated January 11, 2010; and Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 737-31A1332, Revision 3, dated March 28, 2012; as the
appropriate sources of service information. Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 737-31A1325, Revision 1, dated July 5, 2012; and Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 737-31A1332, Revision 4, dated October 31, 2013;
provide essentially the same procedures for accomplishing the
concurrent actions, except, for certain airplanes, Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 737-31A1325, Revision 1, dated July 5, 2012, specifies to
contact the manufacturer for modification, installation, and repair
instructions. Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-31A1332, Revision 4,
dated October 31, 2013, also specified that airplanes having line
numbers YA091 through YA097 were inadvertently removed from Boeing
Alert Service Bulletin 737-31A1332, Revision 3, dated March 28, 2012,
and are now included in Group 1 airplanes as identified in Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 737-31A1332, Revision 4, dated October 31, 2013.
    In addition, we are also correcting a typographical error in
paragraph (i)(1) of AD 2012-19-11, Amendment 39-17206 (77 FR 60296,
October 3, 2012), which refers to paragraph (h) of that AD; paragraph
(i)(1) of AD 2012-19-11 should refer to paragraph (g) of that AD.
Operators that accomplished Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin
737-21-1165, Revision 1, dated July 16, 2010, get credit for the
actions in paragraph (g) of this AD; operators cannot get credit for
the concurrent actions required by paragraph (h) of this AD because
they cannot accomplish the concurrent actions using Boeing Special
Attention Service Bulletin 737-21-1165, Revision 1, dated July 16,
2010.
    We have revised paragraphs (i)(2) through (i)(4) of AD 2012-19-11,
Amendment 39-17206 (77 FR 60296, October 3, 2012), to specify certain
airplane variable numbers to clearly identify the airplanes that are
allowed to receive credit for previous actions using certain service
information and to match the information specified in AD 2013-02-05,
Amendment 39-17326 (78 FR 6202, January 30, 2013). The airplanes
identified in paragraphs (j)(2) through (j)(4) of this proposed AD
match the airplanes specified in paragraphs (i)(1) through (i)(3) of AD
2013-02-05; these

paragraphs give credit for doing actions specified in Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 737-31A1332, Revision 1, dated June 24, 2010; and
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-31Al332, Revision 2, dated August 18,
2011.
    However, airplanes having variable numbers YA001 through YA008,
YA251, YA501 through YA508, and YC321 through YC325, were allowed to
take credit for actions as specified in paragraph (i)(2) and (i)(3) of
AD 2012-19-11, Amendment 39-17206 (77 FR 60296, October 3, 2012).
Airplanes having variable numbers YA001 through YA008, YA251, YA501
through YA508, and YC321 through YC325 are now excluded from the credit
for doing certain actions given in paragraphs (j)(2) and (j)(3) of this
proposed AD; therefore, we have provided a new compliance time for
those airplanes in paragraph (i) of this AD.

Relevant Service Information

    We reviewed the following service information:
     Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-21-1164,
Revision 2, dated August 23, 2013.
     Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-31A1325, Revision 1,
dated July 5, 2012.
     Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-31A1332, Revision 4,
dated October 31, 2013.
    For information on the procedures and compliance times, see this
service information at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and
locating Docket No. FAA-2014-0487.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would retain all requirements of AD 2012-19-11,
Amendment 39-17206 (77 FR 60296, October 3, 2012). This proposed AD
would add, for certain airplanes, a requirement to incorporate related
design changes. This proposed AD also, for certain airplanes, no longer
gives credit for accomplishing certain previous actions.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the Service Information

    Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-21-1164, Revision 2,
dated August 23, 2013; and Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-31A1325,
Revision 1, dated July 5, 2012; specify to contact the manufacturer for
instructions on how to repair certain conditions, but this proposed AD
would require repairing those conditions in one of the following ways:
     In accordance with a method that we approve; or
     Using data that meet the certification basis of the
airplane, and that have been approved by the Boeing Commercial
Airplanes Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) whom we have
authorized to make those findings.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 1,618 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with 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 have 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 that the 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2012-19-11, Amendment 39-17206 (77 FR 60296, October 3, 2012), and
adding the following new AD:

The Boeing Company: Docket No. FAA-2014-0487; Directorate Identifier
2014-NM-026-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    The FAA must receive comments on this AD action by September 12,
2014.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD replaces AD 2012-19-11, Amendment 39-17206 (77 FR 60296,
October 3, 2012).

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to The Boeing Company airplanes, certificated in
any category, as identified in paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this
AD.
    (1) Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series
airplanes, as identified in Boeing Special Attention Service
Bulletin 737-21-1164, Revision 2, dated August 23, 2013.
    (2) Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, -900, and -900ER series

dated April 30, 2012.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 21, Air
Conditioning.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by the report of a flightcrew not receiving
an aural warning during a lack of cabin pressurization event. We are
issuing this AD to prevent the loss of cabin altitude warning, which
could delay flightcrew recognition of a lack of cabin
pressurization, and could result in incapacitation of the flightcrew
due to hypoxia (a lack of oxygen in the body), and consequent loss
of control of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Retained Installation

    This paragraph restates the actions required by paragraph (g) of
AD 2012-19-11, Amendment 39-17206 (77 FR 60296, October 3, 2012),
with revised service information. Within 72 months after November 7,
2012 (the effective date of AD 2012-19-11), install a redundant
cabin altitude pressure switch, replace the aural warning module
(AWM) with a new or reworked AWM, and change certain wire bundles or
connect certain capped and stowed wires, as applicable, in
accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of the applicable

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 147

[Docket No.: FAA-2015-3901; Notice No. 15-10]
RIN 2120-AK48

Aviation Maintenance Technician Schools

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM); extension of comment
period.

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

SUMMARY: This action extends the comment period for an NPRM published
on October 2, 2015. In that document, the FAA proposes to amend the
regulations governing the curriculum and operations of FAA-certificated
Aviation Maintenance Technician Schools. These amendments would
modernize and reorganize the required curriculum subjects in the
appendices of the current regulations. They would also remove the
course content items currently located in the appendices and require
that they be placed in each school's operations specifications so they
could more easily be amended when necessary. The amendments are needed
because the existing curriculums are outdated, do not meet current
industry needs, and can be changed only through notice and comment
rulemaking. These amendments would ensure that aviation maintenance
technician students receive up-to-date foundational training to meet
the demanding and consistently changing needs of the aviation industry.
This extension is a result of a joint request from Aviation Technical
Education Council (ATEC), Aeronautical Repair Station Association
(ARSA), Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), Airlines for
America (A4A), Aviation Suppliers Association (ASA), Helicopter
Association International (HAI), Modification And Replacement Parts
Association (MARPA), National Air Carrier Association (NACA), National
Air Transport Association (NATA), Regional Airline Association, STEM
Education Coalition (STEM), and University Aviation Association (UAA)
(collectively, the ``Petitioners'').

DATES: The comment period for the notice of proposed rulemaking
published on October 2, 2015 (80 FR 59674), is extended. Send comments
on or before February 1, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Send comments identified by docket number FAA-2015-3901
using any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    The FAA continues to invite interested persons to take part in this
rulemaking by submitting written comments, data, or views about the
NPRM we issued on October 2, 2015 (part 147, Aviation Maintenance
Technician Schools (80 FR 59674)(October 2, 2015). The most

helpful comments will reference a specific portion of the NPRM, explain
the reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data.

Background

    On October 2, 2015, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
issued Notice No. 15-10, Aviation Maintenance Technician Schools (80 FR
59674) (October 2, 2015) (``NPRM''). The comment period for the NPRM
ends on December 31, 2015.
    By letter dated October 26, 2015, the Petitioners jointly asked the
FAA to extend the NPRM's comment period by 90 days. The Petitioners
believe that, with the additional time requested, the aviation industry
and its partners in technical education will help the FAA develop a
rule that supports schools, aids students at the beginning of a
rewarding career, and serves an important growing industry.
    The FAA recognizes the NPRM's contents are significant and complex
and that a ninety-day comment period may not be sufficient. However,
the FAA believes that a 90 day extension, for a total of 180 days, is
excessive. We have determined that an additional 30 days will be enough
for potential commenters to collect the cost and operational data
necessary to provide meaningful comments to the NPRM (for a total of
120 days from October 2, 2015). Absent unusual circumstances, the FAA
does not anticipate any further extension of the comment period for
this rulemaking.

Extension of Comment Period

    In accordance with 14 CFR 11.47(c), the FAA has reviewed the
petition submitted by the Petitioners for an extension of the comment
period to the NPRM. The FAA finds that the petitioners have a
substantive interest in the proposed rule, and that an extension of the
comment period for Notice No. 15-10 is consistent with the public
interest, and that good cause exists for granting this extension.
    Accordingly, the comment period for Notice No. 15-10 is extended
until February 1, 2016.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on November 16, 2015.
Lirio Liu,
Director, Office of Rulemaking.
