### 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.

Discussion

We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that would


## 16433 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 55 / Wednesday, March 21, 2012 / Rules and Regulations

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:



### E STIMATED 

### C OSTS

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. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

**[Docket No. FAA–2012–0129; Airspace Docket No. 12–AWA–1]** 

**RIN 2120–AA66**



### 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
