ACTION: Supplemental notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM); 

reopening of comment period. 

SUMMARY: We are revising an earlier 

NPRM for the products listed above. 

This action revises the earlier NPRM by 

expanding the scope. This proposed AD 

results from mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated by an aviation authority of 

another country to identify and correct 

an unsafe condition on an aviation 

product. The MCAI describes the unsafe 

condition as: 

Cracks have been found on seats [with] 

backrest links P/N (part number) 90–000200– 

104–1 and 90–000200–104–2. These cracks 

can significantly affect the structural integrity 

of seat backrests. 

Failure of the backrest links could result 

in injury to an occupant during 

emergency landing conditions. The 

proposed AD would require actions that 

are intended to address the unsafe 

condition described in the MCAI. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by June 9, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by 

any of the following methods:

Discussion 

We proposed to amend 14 CFR part 

39 with an earlier NPRM for the 

specified products, which was 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 19, 2010 (75 FR 2826). That 

earlier NPRM proposed to require 

actions intended to address the unsafe 

condition for the products specified 

above. 

Since that NPRM was issued, we have 

determined that the series 91C3 seat was 

not included in that NPRM because it 

was originally included in the wrong 

service bulletin. Sicma Aero Seat issued 

revised service information that 

includes that seat model with the other 

seat models affected by that NPRM, as 

discussed in the comment responses 

that follow. You may obtain further 

information by examining the MCAI in 

the AD docket. 

Comments 

We have considered the following 

comments received on the earlier 

NPRM. 

Request To Revise Service Bulletin 

Reference 

Boeing requested that we update all 

references to Sicma Aero Seat Service 

Bulletin 90–25–013, Issue 3, dated 

December 19, 2001, to Issue 4, dated 

March 19, 2004, including Annex 1, 

Issue 2, dated March 19, 2004. The 

commenter justified the request by 

stating that seat model 91C3 (installed 

on Boeing Model 737 airplanes) was 

inadvertently excluded in Issue 3 of that 

service bulletin, and that Issue 4 of that 

service bulletin corrects the 

applicability to those seats installed that 

are affected. The commenter also 

requested that we revise the ‘‘Relevant 

Service Information’’ section of the 

NPRM to refer to Issue 4 of that service 

bulletin. 

We agree to update the service 

information in the supplemental NPRM 

for the reason given. We have revised 

paragraphs (c), (f)(1) through (f)(3), 

(f)(5), and (h) of this supplemental 

NPRM to refer to Sicma Aero Seat 

Service Bulletin 90–25–013, Issue 4, 

dated March 19, 2004, including Annex 

1, Issue 2, dated March 19, 2004. We 

also have added new paragraph (f)(6) to 

this supplemental NPRM to give credit 

for actions done according to Issue 3 of 

that service bulletin. We also have 

removed the specific reference to series 

91C3 seats, in paragraph (c) of this 

supplemental NPRM, from the list of 

those series to which this supplemental 

NPRM does not apply, because this AD, 

as now proposed, does apply to series 

91C3 seats. We have not changed the 

‘‘Relevant Service Information’’ section 

of the NPRM because that section does 

not appear in this supplemental NPRM. 

Request To Remove Boeing Model 777 

Airplanes From Applicability Table 1 

Boeing requested that we revise table 

1 of the NPRM to remove Model 777 

airplanes, because those airplanes, due 

to their certification, do not have the 

affected seat series installed. 

We agree to revise table 1 of the 

supplemental NPRM, for the reason 

given. 

Request To Identify Affected Seats by 

Main Component Number 

Vallejo Investments, Inc. requested 

that we specify the affected seats by 

their main component part number 

rather than the part number of the 

subassembly. The commenter stated that 

it could better participate in the rulemaking process with this information. 

We do not agree to provide the main 

component part numbers for the 

affected seats, because the seat assembly 

part numbers as listed are consistent 

with the Technical Standard Order 

(TSO) part number labels attached to 

each seat. We have not changed the 

supplemental NPRM in this regard. 

Explanation of Changes Made to This 

Proposed AD 

We have revised this supplemental 

NPRM to identify the legal name of the 

manufacturer as published in the most 

recent type certificate data sheet for the 

affected airplane models. 

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. 

Certain changes described above 

expand the scope of the earlier NPRM. 

As a result, we have determined that it 

is necessary to reopen the comment 

period to provide additional 

opportunity for the public to comment 

on this proposed AD. 

Differences Between This AD and the 

MCAI or Service Information 

We have reviewed the MCAI and 

related service information and, in 

general, agree with their substance. But 

we might have found it necessary to use 

different words from those in the MCAI 

to ensure the AD is clear for U.S. 

operators and is enforceable. In making 

these changes, we do not intend to differ 

substantively from the information 

provided in the MCAI and related 

service information. 

We might also have proposed 

different actions in this AD from those 

in the MCAI in order to follow FAA 

policies. Any such differences are 

highlighted in a NOTE within the 

proposed AD. 

Explanation of Change to Costs of 

Compliance 

Since issuance of the NPRM, we have 

increased the labor rate used in the 

Costs of Compliance from $80 per workhour to $85 per work-hour. The Costs of 

Compliance information, below, reflects 

this increase in the specified hourly 

labor rate. 

Costs of Compliance 

Based on the service information, we 

estimate that this proposed AD would 

affect about 611 seats on 4 products of 

U.S. registry. We also estimate that it 

would take about 1 work-hour per 

product to comply with the basic 

requirements of this proposed AD. The 

average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. 

Required parts would cost about $0 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 costs. 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 

$51,935, or $85 per seat. 

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 


emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with PROPOSALS
22832 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 79 / Monday, April 25, 2011 / Proposed Rules 

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); and 

3. 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.

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference, 

Safety.

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 79 / Monday, April 25, 2011 / Proposed Rules 22833 

Subject 

(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 25: Equipment/Furnishings. 

Reason 

(e) The mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) states: 

Cracks have been found on seats [with] 

backrest links P/N (part number) 90–000200– 

104–1 and 90–000200–104–2. These cracks 

can significantly affect the structural integrity 

of seat backrests. 

Failure of the backrest links could result in 

injury to an occupant during emergency 

landing conditions. The required actions 

include a general visual inspection for 

cracking of the backrest links; replacement 

with new, improved links if cracking is 

found; and eventual replacement of all links 

with new, improved links. 

Actions and Compliance 

(f) Unless already done, do the following 

actions. 

(1) At the later of the compliance times 

specified in paragraphs (f)(1)(i) and (f)(1)(ii) 

of this AD, do a general visual inspection of 

the backrest links having P/Ns 90–000200– 

104–1 and 90–000200–104–2, in accordance 

with Part One of Sicma Aero Seat Service 

Bulletin 90–25–013, Issue 4, dated March 19, 

2004: 

(i) Before 6,000 flight hours on the backrest 

link since new. 

(ii) Within 900 flight hours or 5 months 

after the effective date of this AD, whichever 

occurs later. 

(2) If, during the inspection required by 

paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, cracking is found 

between the side of the backrest link and the 

lock-out pin hole but the cracking does not 

pass this lock-out pin hole (refer to Figure 2 

of Sicma Aero Seat Service Bulletin 90–25– 

013, Issue 4, dated March 19, 2004): Within 

600 flight hours or 3 months after doing the 

inspection, whichever occurs first, replace 

both backrest links of the affected seat with 

new, improved backrest links having P/Ns 

90–100200–104–1 and 90–100200–104–2, in 

accordance with Part Two of Sicma Aero Seat 

Service Bulletin 90–25–013, Issue 4, dated 

March 19, 2004. 

(3) If, during the inspection required by 

paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, cracking is found 

that passes beyond the lock-out pin hole 

(refer to Figure 2 of Sicma Aero Seat Service 

Bulletin 90–25–013, Issue 4, dated March 19, 

2004): Before further flight, replace both 

backrest links of the affected seat with new, 

improved backrest links having P/Ns 90– 

100200–104–1 and 90–100200–104–2, in 

accordance with Part Two of Sicma Aero Seat 

Service Bulletin 90–25–013, Issue 4, dated 

March 19, 2004. 

(4) If no cracking is found during the 

inspection required by paragraph (f)(1) of this 

AD: Do the replacement required by 

paragraph (f)(5) of this AD at the compliance 

time specified in paragraph (f)(5) of this AD. 

(5) At the later of the compliance times 

specified in paragraphs (f)(5)(i) and (f)(5)(ii) 

of this AD, replace the links, P/Ns 90– 

000200–104–1 and 90–000200–104–2, with 

new improved links, P/Ns 90–100200–104–1 

and 90–100200–104–2, in accordance with 

Part Two of Sicma Aero Seat Service Bulletin 

90–25–013, Issue 4, dated March 19, 2004. 

Doing this replacement for an affected 

passenger seat assembly terminates the 

inspection requirements of paragraph (f)(1) of 

this AD for that passenger seat assembly. 

(i) Before 12,000 flight hours on the 

backrest links, P/Ns 90–000200–104–1 and 

90–000200–104–2, since new. 

(ii) Within 900 flight hours or 5 months 

after the effective date of this AD, whichever 

occurs later. 

Credit for Actions Done in Accordance With 

Previous Service Information 

(6) Actions done before the effective date 

of this AD in accordance with Sicma Aero 

Seat Service Bulletin 90–25–013, Issue 3, 

dated December 19, 2001, including Annex 1, 

Issue 2, dated March 19, 2004, are acceptable 

for compliance with the corresponding 

actions of this AD. 

FAA AD Differences 

Note 2: This AD differs from the MCAI 

and/or service information as follows: The 

MCAI specifies doing repetitive inspections 

for cracking of links having over 12,000 flight 

hours since new until the replacement of the 

link is done. This AD does not include those 

repetitive inspections because we have 

reduced the compliance time for replacing 

those links. This AD requires replacing the 

link before 12,000 flight hours since new or 

within 900 flight hours or 5 months of the 

effective date of this AD, whichever occurs 

later. 

Other FAA AD Provisions 

(g) The following provisions also apply to 

this AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, Boston Aircraft 

Certification Office, FAA, has the authority to 

approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. 

In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, send your 

request to your principal inspector or local 

Flight Standards District Office, as 

appropriate. If sending information directly 

to the ACO, send it to ATTN: Jeffrey Lee, 

Aerospace Engineer, Boston Aircraft 

Certification Office, FAA, Engine & Propeller 

Directorate, 12 New England Executive Park, 

Burlington, Massachusetts 01803; telephone 

(781) 238–7161; fax (781) 238–7170. Before 

using any approved AMOC, notify your 

appropriate principal inspector, or lacking a 

principal inspector, the manager of the local 

flight standards district office/certificate 

holding district office. The AMOC approval 

letter must specifically reference this AD. 

(2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement 

in this AD to obtain corrective actions from 

a manufacturer or other source, use these 

actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective 

actions are considered FAA-approved if they 

are approved by the State of Design Authority 

(or their delegated agent). You are required 

to assure the product is airworthy before it 

is returned to service.

COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING 

COMMISSION 

17 CFR Part 46 

[3038–AD48] 

Swap Data Recordkeeping and 

Reporting Requirements: PreEnactment and Transition Swaps 

AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading 

Commission. 

ACTION: Proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Commodity Futures 

Trading Commission (‘‘Commission’’ or 

‘‘CFTC’’) is proposing rules to 

implement new statutory provisions 

introduced by Title VII of the DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer 

Protection Act (‘‘Dodd-Frank Act’’). The 

Dodd-Frank Act amends the Commodity 

Exchange Act (‘‘CEA’’ or ‘‘Act’’) directing 

that rules adopted by the Commission 

shall provide for the reporting of data 

relating to swaps entered into before the 

date of enactment of the Dodd-Frank 

Act, the terms of which have not 

expired as of the date of enactment of 

that Act (‘‘pre-enactment swaps’’) and 

data relating to swaps entered into on or 

after the date of enactment of the DoddFrank Act and prior to the compliance 

date specified in the Commission’s final 

swap data reporting rules (‘‘transition 

swaps’’). This proposal would establish 

recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements for pre-enactment swaps 

and transition swaps.
