■ 10. Revise § 741.222 to read as 

follows: 

§ 741.222 Credit union service 

organizations. 

(a) Any credit union that is insured 

pursuant to Title II of the Act must 

adhere to the requirements in 

§§ 712.2(d)(2)(ii), 712.3(d), 712.4 and 

712.11(b) and (c) of this chapter 

concerning permissible investment 

limits for less than adequately 

capitalized credit unions, agreements 

between credit unions and their credit 

union service organizations (CUSOs), 

the requirement to maintain separate 

corporate identities, and investments 

and loans to CUSOs investing in other 

CUSOs. For purposes of this section, a 

CUSO is any entity in which a credit 

union has an ownership interest or to 

which a credit union has extended a 

loan, and that entity is engaged 

primarily in providing products or 

services to credit unions or credit union 

members, or, in the case of checking and 

currency services, including cashing 

checks and money orders for a fee, and 

selling negotiable checks, including 

travelers checks, money orders, and 

other similar money transfer 

instruments (including international 

and domestic electronic fund transfers 

and remittance transfers, as defined in 

section 919 of the Electronic Fund 

Transfer Act, 15 U.S.C. 1693o-1), to 

persons eligible for membership in any 

credit union having a loan, investment 

or contract with the entity. A CUSO also 

includes any entity in which a CUSO 

has an ownership interest of any 

amount, if that entity is engaged 

primarily in providing products or 

services to credit unions or credit union 

members. 

(b) This section shall have no 

preemptive effect with respect to the 

laws or rules of any state providing for 

access to CUSO books and records or

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing 

Company Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

The Boeing Company Model 707 

airplanes; and Model 720 and 720B 

series airplanes. This AD was prompted 

by reports indicating that a standard 

access door was located where an 

impact-resistant access door was 

required, and stencils were missing 

from some impact-resistant access 

doors. This AD requires an inspection of 

the left- and right-hand wing fuel tank 

access doors to determine that impactresistant access doors are installed in 

the correct locations, and to replace any 

door with an impact-resistant access 

door if necessary. This AD also requires 

an inspection for stencils and index 

markers on impact-resistant access 

doors, and application of new stencils 

or index markers if necessary. This AD 

also requires revising the maintenance 

program to incorporate changes to the 

airworthiness limitations section. We 

are issuing this AD to prevent foreign 

object penetration of the fuel tank, 

which could cause a fuel leak near an 

ignition source (e.g., hot brakes or 

engine exhaust nozzle), consequently 

leading to a fuel-fed fire. 

DATES: This AD is effective January 7, 

2014. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of January 7, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. The 

NPRM published in the Federal 

Register on August 13, 2013 (78 FR 

49237). The NPRM proposed to require 

an inspection of the left- and right-hand 

wing fuel tank access doors to 

determine that impact-resistant access 

doors are installed in the correct 

locations, and to replace any door with 

an impact-resistant access door if 

necessary. The NPRM also proposed to 

require an inspection for stencils and 

index markers on impact-resistant 

access doors, and application of new 

stencils or index markers if necessary. 

The NPRM also proposed to require 

revising the maintenance program to 

incorporate changes to the airworthiness 

limitations section. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

have considered the comment received. 

The Boeing Company stated that it 

supports the NPRM (78 FR 49237, 

August 13, 2013). 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data, 

considered the comments 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: 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 232 / Tuesday, December 3, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 72551 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 

49237, August 13, 2013) for correcting 

the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 49237, 

August 13, 2013). 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 13 

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 

Inspection ................................... Up to 12 work-hours × $85 per hour = $1,020 .............................. $0 $1,020 $13,260 

Maintenance program revision ... 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ................................................. 0 85 1,105 

We estimate the following costs to do 

any necessary replacements that would 

be required based on the results of the 

inspection. We have no way of 

determining the number of aircraft that 

might need these replacements: 

ON-CONDITION COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Replacement per door ........................ $3 work-hours × $85 per hour = $255 ........................................................... $8,000 $8,255 

Stencil and index marker (16 to 18 

doors per airplane).

1 work-hour per door × $85 per hour = $85 per door ................................... 0 1,530 

According to the manufacturer, some 

of the costs of this AD may be covered 

under warranty, thereby reducing the 

cost impact on affected individuals. We 

do not control warranty coverage for 

affected individuals. As a result, we 

have included all costs in our cost 

estimate. 

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.

Airworthiness Directives; General 

Electric Company Turbofan Engines 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

General Electric Company model GEnx– 

2B67 and GEnx–2B67B turbofan 

engines. This AD was prompted by the 

original equipment manufacturer’s 

disclosure that certain critical rotating 

life-limited parts (LLPs) used in Boeing 

747–8 flight tests had consumed more 

cyclic life than they would have in 

revenue flight cycles. These parts were 

then installed into engines and 

introduced into revenue service without 

adjustment to remaining cyclic life. This 

AD requires a one-time adjustment to 

the cycle counts of those LLPs to 

account for the additional low cycle 

fatigue (LCF) life consumed during 

flight tests. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent the failure of critical rotating 

LLPs, uncontained engine failure, and 

damage to the airplane. 

DATES: This AD is effective January 7, 

2014. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of January 7, 2014.
