5304 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 23 / Wednesday, February 4, 2004 / Proposed Rules 

We estimate the following costs to 

accomplish any necessary replacements 

that would be required based on the 

results of this proposed inspection. We 

have no way of determining the number 

of sailplanes that may need this 

replacement:

Labor cost Parts cost Total cost per airplane 

1 workhour × $65 per hour = $65 .......................................... $10 $65 + 10 = $75 

Regulatory Findings 

Would This Proposed AD Impact 

Various Entities? 

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. 

Would This Proposed AD Involve a 

Significant Rule or Regulatory Action? 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify that this 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. 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 summary of the costs 

to comply with this proposed AD and 

placed it in the AD Docket. You may get 

a copy of this summary by sending a 

request to us at the address listed under 

ADDRESSES. Include ‘‘AD Docket No. 

2003–CE–63–AD’’ in your request.

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the Federal Aviation Administration 

proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as 

follows:

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS 

DIRECTIVES 

1. The authority citation for part 39 

continues to read as follows:

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

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new airworthiness 

directive (AD):

HPH S. R.O.: Docket No. 2003–CE–63–AD. 

When Is the Last Date I Can Submit 

Comments on This Proposed AD? 

(a) We must receive comments on this 

proposed airworthiness directive (AD) by 

March 4, 2004. 

What Other ADs Are Affected by This 

Action? 

(b) None. 

What Sailplanes Are Affected by This AD? 

(c) This AD affects Models Glasflu ̈ gel 

304CZ, 304CZ–17, and 304C sailplanes, 

serial numbers 1 though 60–17, that are

What Is the Unsafe Condition Presented in 

This AD? 

(d) This AD is the result of mandatory 

continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) 

issued by the airworthiness authority for the 

Czech Republic. The actions specified in this 

AD are intended to prevent the airbrake

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Because of disagreements over the 

meaning of gas ‘‘gathering line’’ in 49 

CFR part 192, RSPA/OPS has twice 

proposed to redefine the term. The first 

proposal was withdrawn (43 FR 42773; 

September, 1978), and the second (56 

FR 48505; September 25, 1991) remains 

open. In reaction to unfavorable 

comments on these proposals, RSPA/

OPS delayed final action pending the 

collection and consideration of further 

information on the gas ‘‘gathering line’’

issue. In contrast, RSPA/OPS has had 

little difficulty applying the definition 

of petroleum ‘‘gathering line’’ in 49 CFR 

part 195. 

Following the second proposal to 

define gas ‘‘gathering line,’’ Congress 

directed DOT to define ‘‘gathering line’’

for both gas and hazardous liquid 

pipelines, and, ‘‘if appropriate,’’ define 

as ‘‘regulated gathering line’’ those rural 

gathering lines that, because of specific 

physical characteristics, should be 

regulated (49 U.S.C. 60101(b)). In 

furtherance of the open rulemaking 

proposal and the congressional 

directives, RSPA/OPS held an internet 

discussion that focused on a definition 

offered by the Gas Processors 

Association (GPA) (Docket No. RSPA–

98–4868; 64 FR 12147; March 11, 1999). 

However, follow-up action stalled 

because RSPA/OPS and its associated 

state pipeline safety agencies were 

concerned that physical pipeline 

features referenced in the GPA 

definition were changeable. As a 

stopgap, while deliberating on a suitable 

alternative to the 1991 proposal, RSPA/

OPS published an advisory bulletin 

reminding pipeline operators that we 

would continue to define gas gathering
