SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EDA’s 

regulations, which are codified at 13 

CFR chapter III, provide the framework 

through which the agency administers 

its economic development assistance 

programs. In a Federal Register notice 

published on February 1, 2011 (76 FR 

5501), EDA requested public feedback 

on any obstacles created by EDA’s 

current regulations and ways to improve 

them to help the agency better advance 

innovative economic development in 

the 21st century. Because of strong 

interest in this initiative and to ensure 

our stakeholders have ample time to 

comment, EDA is extending the 

deadline for the submission of 

comments from March 9, 2011, to April 

11, 2011. Although EDA welcomes 

comments on all of its regulations, the 

agency requests particular input on 

those regulations that impact the 

creation and growth of Regional 

Innovation Clusters (RICs) and on the 

agency’s property management 

regulations. Please see the notice and 

request for comments, 76 FR 5501 

(February 1, 2011), and EDA’s Web site

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing 

Company Model 777–200 and –300 

Series Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Model 777–200 and –300 series 

airplanes. This proposed AD would 

require removing the electrical system 

control panel, changing the wiring, 

installing a new electrical power control 

panel, and installing new operational 

software for the electrical load 

management system and configuration 

database. This proposed AD results from 

an in-flight entertainment (IFE) systems 

review. We are proposing this AD to 

ensure that the flightcrew is able to turn 

off electrical power to the IFE system 

and other non-essential electrical 

systems through a switch in the flight 

compartment in the event of smoke or 

flames. In the event of smoke or flames 

in the airplane flight deck or passenger 

cabin, the flightcrew’s inability to turn 

off electrical power to the IFE system 

and other non-essential electrical 

systems could result in the inability to 

control smoke or flames in the airplane 

flight deck or passenger cabin during a 

non-normal or emergency situation. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by April 22, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by 

any of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to 

http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments.

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–2011–0153; Directorate Identifier 

2010–NM–022–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 

In response to numerous reports of 

smoke or flames in the passenger cabin 

of various models of transport category 

airplanes, we conducted a 

comprehensive in-flight entertainment 

(IFE) systems review. Earlier 

investigation of the reports had revealed 

that the source of the smoke and flames 

was from cabin IFE system components, 

including electronic seat boxes mounted 

under passenger seats, IFE wirings, IFE 

monitors, cabin lighting, wall outlets, 

and other non-essential cabin electrical 

systems. 

The systems review disclosed that in 

order to minimize the risk of smoke or 

flames in the passenger cabin, a switch 

is needed in the flight compartment to 

enable the flightcrew to turn off 

electrical power to the IFE system and 

other non-essential electrical systems. In 

the event of smoke or flames in the 

airplane flight deck or passenger cabin, 

the flightcrew’s inability to turn off 

power to the IFE system and other nonessential electrical systems, if not 

corrected, could result in the inability to 

control smoke or flames in the airplane 

flight deck or passenger cabin during a 

non-normal or emergency situation. 

Relevant Service Information 

We have reviewed Boeing Service 

Bulletin 777–24–0074, Revision 1, dated 

October 5, 2006. This service bulletin 

describes procedures for removing the 

electrical power control panel, changing 

the wiring, and installing a new 

electrical power control panel having 

the two new cabin power control 

switches. 

Boeing Service Bulletin 777–24–0074, 

Revision 1, dated October 5, 2006, also 

specifies prior or concurrent 

accomplishment of Boeing Service 

Bulletin 777–24–0070, dated April 4, 

2002, which describes procedures for 

installing new operational software 

(OPS) for the electrical load 

management system and new 

configuration database software. 

Boeing Service Bulletin 777–24–0074, 

Revision 1, dated October 5, 2006, refers 

to Boeing Component Service Bulletin 

233W3202–24–04, Revision 1, dated 

September 25, 2003, as an additional 

source of guidance for installing the 

passenger compartment electrical power 

isolation switches. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This Proposed AD 

We are proposing this AD because we 

evaluated all relevant information and 

determined the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop in other products of these same
