IX. Rulemaking Process 

The NRC will consider comments 

received or other information submitted 

in response to this ANPR in the 

development of the proposed draft 

regulatory basis or any other documents 

developed as a part of any potential 

revisions to the 10 CFR part 50, 

appendix I, regulations. The NRC, 

however, does not intend to provide 

responses to comments or other 

information submitted in response to 

this ANPR. If the NRC develops a 

regulatory basis sufficient to support a 

proposed rule, then there will be an 

opportunity for public comment when 

the proposed rule is published and the 

NRC will respond to such comments if 

and when it publishes a final rule. If the 

NRC develops draft supporting guidance 

or proposes revisions to existing 

guidance documents associated with the 

10 CFR part 50, appendix I regulations, 

then the public, the regulated 

community, and other stakeholders will 

have an opportunity to provide 

comment on the draft guidance. If NRC 

decides not to pursue a 10 CFR part 50, 

appendix I rulemaking, as described in 

this ANPR, the NRC will publish a 

document in the Federal Register that 

will generally address public comments 

and withdraw this ANPR.

Airworthiness Directives; Fokker 

Services B.V. Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Fokker Services B.V. Model F.27 Mark 

200, 300, 400, 500, 600, and 700 

airplanes. This proposed AD was 

prompted by a design review, which 

revealed that no controlled bonding 

provisions are present on a number of 

critical locations inside the fuel tank or 

connected to the fuel tank wall; and no 

anti-spray cover is installed on the fuel 

shut-off valve (FSOV) in both wings. 

This proposed AD would require 

installing additional bonding provisions 

in the fuel tank, installing an anti-spray 

cover on the FSOV, and revising the 

airplane maintenance program by 

incorporating fuel airworthiness 

limitation items and critical design 

configuration control limitations. We 

are proposing this AD to prevent an 

ignition source in the fuel tank vapor 

space, which could result in a fuel tank 

explosion and consequent loss of the 

airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by June 18, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following

Discussion 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Union, has issued EASA Airworthiness 

Directive 2014–0099, dated April 30, 

2014 (referred to after this as the 

Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness 

Information, or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct 

an unsafe condition for all Fokker 

Services B.V. Model F.27 Mark 200, 300, 

400, 500, 600, and 700 airplanes. The 

MCAI states: 

Prompted by an accident * * *, the FAA 

published Special Federal Aviation 

Regulation (SFAR) 88, and the Joint Aviation 

Authorities (JAA) published Interim Policy 

INT/POL/25/12. 

The review conducted by Fokker Services 

on the Fokker 27 design in response to these 

regulations revealed that no controlled 

bonding provisions are present on a number 

of critical locations, inside the fuel tank or 

connected to the fuel tank wall, and no antispray cover is installed on the Fueling ShutOff Valve (FSOV) in both wings. 

This condition, if not corrected, could 

create an ignition source in the fuel tank 

vapour space, possibly resulting in a fuel 

tank explosion and consequent loss of the 

aeroplane. 

To address this potential unsafe condition, 

Fokker Services developed a set of bonding 

modifications and anti-spray covers, 

introduced with Service Bulletin (SB) 

SBF27–28–071 Revision 1 (R1), that require 

opening of the fuel tank access panels. More 

information on this subject can be found in 

Fokker Services All Operators Message 

AOF27.043#03. 

For the reasons described above, this 

[EASA] AD requires installation of additional 

bonding provisions, and of anti-spray covers 

on the FSOV, that require opening of the fuel 

tank access panels. 

Required actions also include revising 

the airplane maintenance program by 

incorporating fuel airworthiness 

limitation items and critical design 

configuration control limitations. You 

may examine the MCAI in the AD 

docket on the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating Docket No. FAA–2015– 

0933. 

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. 

This proposed AD would require 

revisions to certain operator 

maintenance documents to include new 

actions (e.g., inspections) and Critical 

Design Configuration Control 

Limitations (CDCCLs). Compliance with 

these actions and CDCCLs is required by 

14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes that 

have been previously modified, altered, 

or repaired in the areas addressed by 

this AD, the operator may not be able to 

accomplish the actions described in the 

revisions. In this situation, to comply 

with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator 

must request approval for an alternative 

method of compliance according to 

paragraph (j) of this AD. The request 

should include a description of changes 

to the required inspections that will 

ensure the continued operational safety 

of the airplane. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 15 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this proposed AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Installation of bonding provisions, anti-spray 

cover, and maintenance program revision.

70 work-hours × $85 per hour = $5,950 ........ $0 $5,950 $89,250 

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 

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); 

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.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2011–24– 

05, for certain Airbus Model A330–201, 

–202, –203, –223, –243, –301, –302, 

–303, –321, –322, –323, –341, –342, and 

–343 airplanes; and Model A340–200 

and –300 series airplanes. AD 2011–24– 

05 currently requires repetitive 

inspections for cracking of the hole(s) of 

the horizontal flange of the keel beam, 

and repair if necessary. Since we issued 

AD 2011–24–05, a determination was 

made that the rototest inspection and 

applicable corrective actions of a certain 

fastener hole were inadvertently omitted 

from the requirements in that AD. This 

proposed AD would change the 

inspection compliance times, and, for 

certain airplanes, would add a one-time 

ultrasonic inspection for cracking at a 

certain fastener hole. This proposed AD 

would also provide optional terminating 

action for the repetitive inspections. We 

are proposing this AD to detect and 

correct cracking of the fastener holes, 

which could result in rupture of the keel 

beam, and consequent reduced 

structural integrity of the airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by June 18, 2015.
