Airworthiness Directives; Cessna 

Aircraft Company Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Cessna Aircraft Company Model 560XL 

airplanes. This AD was prompted by 

reports of jammed or stiff rudder control 

due to water freezing on the rudder bias 

cables and pulleys of the stinger. This 

AD requires modification of the drain 

installation of the tailcone stinger on the 

aft canted bulkhead, inspections for 

drain holes in the forward and aft 

frames, and modification of the drain 

holes. We are issuing this AD to prevent 

ice accumulation on the cables and 

pulleys of the stinger, which could 

result in jamming of the rudder and 

consequent reduced controllability of 

the airplane. 

DATES: This AD is effective April 25, 

2012. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in the AD 

as of April 25, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that would 


erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 55 / Wednesday, March 21, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 16433 

apply to the specified products. That 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on December 30, 2011 (76 FR 

82205). That NPRM proposed to require 

modification of the drain installation of 

the tailcone stinger on the aft canted 

bulkhead, inspections for drain holes in 

the forward and aft frames, and 

modification of the drain holes. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

have considered the comment received. 

The National Transportation Safety 

Board supports the NPRM (76 FR 82205, 

December 30, 2011). 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data, 

considered the comment received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

as proposed–except for minor editorial 

changes. We have determined that these 

minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (76 FR 

82205, December 30, 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 82205, 

December 30, 2011). 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 475 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on 

U.S. 

operators 

Modification of stinger drain installation ............... 10 work-hours × $85 per hour = $850 ................. $489 $1,339 $636,025 

Prior/concurrent modification of drain holes ......... 5 work-hours × $85 per hour = $425 ................... 255 680 323,000 

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.

Revocation of Multiple Domestic, 

Alaskan, and Hawaiian Compulsory 

Reporting Points 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action removes twentytwo Domestic, Alaskan, and Hawaiian 

compulsory reporting points previously 

removed from service and taken out of 

the FAA aeronautical database. The 

FAA is removing these Part 71 outdated 

compulsory reporting points since they 

are no longer valid, to be consistent 

with the FAA’s aeronautical database. 

This will avoid confusion and eliminate 

safety issues with existing fixes using 

the same fix name elsewhere within the 

National Airspace System (NAS). 

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, May 31, 

2012. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under 1 CFR part 51, 

subject to the annual revision of FAA 

Order 7400.9 and publication of 

conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

After a recent review of aeronautical 

data, the National Flight Data Center 

(NFDC) identified twenty-two 

compulsory reporting points listed in 

FAA Order (FAAO) 7400.9, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points that 

were no longer valid and not contained 

in the FAA’s aeronautical database as 

reporting points. The reporting points 

included fourteen Domestic reporting 

points designated at all altitudes, two 

Alaskan low altitude and five Alaskan 

high altitude reporting points, and one 

Hawaiian reporting point designated at 

all altitudes. No regulatory actions were 

accomplished prior to these compulsory 

reporting points being removed from the 

FAA aeronautical database and seven of 

the reporting point names have since 

been reused for navigation fixes 

elsewhere within the NAS. To overcome 

confusion and flight safety issues 

associated with publishing outdated and 

conflicting compulsory reporting point 

information, the FAA is removing the 

twenty-two reporting points, as 

identified by NFDC, from Part 71, and 

removing them from FAAO 7400.9. 

Accordingly, since this is an 

administrative change and does not 

affect any current compulsory reporting 

points, notice and public procedures 

under Title 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are 

unnecessary. 

The Rule 

The FAA amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

removing fourteen Domestic reporting 

points designated at all altitudes, two 

Alaskan low altitude and five Alaskan 

high altitude reporting points, and one 

Hawaiian reporting point. Specifically, 

the FAA removes the ABACO, ALLBA, 

BACUS, BRIMS, CARPS, CATFI, 

CRABI, EARNS, FLASH, FLORI, 

GATES, OHIOS, SMELT, and SQUID 

Domestic reporting points; the NESSY 

and SAVRY (both low altitude) and the 

AUGIN, ENCOR, KILLA, NESSY, and 

SAVRY (all high altitude) Alaskan 

reporting points; and the SHILA 

Hawaiian reporting point, from part 71. 

Domestic Reporting Points designated 

at all altitudes are listed in paragraph 

7003 of FAA Order 7400.9V dated 

August 9, 2011, and effective September 

15, 2011, which is incorporated by 

reference in 14 CFR 71.1. Alaskan Low 

Altitude Reporting Points are listed in 

paragraph 7004 of FAA Order 7400.9V 

dated August 9, 2011, and effective 

September 15, 2011, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. Alaskan High Altitude Reporting 

Points are listed in paragraph 7005 of 

FAA Order 7400.9V dated August 9, 

2011, and effective September 15, 2011, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. Hawaiian Reporting Points 

are listed in paragraph 7006 of FAA 

Order 7400.9V dated August 9, 2011, 

and effective September 15, 2011, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The reporting points listed in this 

document will be revised subsequently 

in the Order. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are
