MD–10–30F Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Model DC–10–30, DC–10–30F, DC–10– 

30F (KC–10A and KDC–10), DC–10–40, 

DC–10–40F, and MD–10–30F airplanes. 

This AD requires doing a one-time 

inspection of the wire bundles to 

determine if wires touch the upper 

surface of the center upper auxiliary 

fuel tank, and marking the location if 

necessary; a one-time inspection for 

splices and damage of all wire bundles 

routed above the center upper auxiliary 

fuel tank; a one-time inspection for 

damage to the fuel vapor barrier seal 

and upper surface of the center upper 

auxiliary fuel tank; and corrective 

actions, if necessary. This AD also 

requires installing non-metallic barrier/ 

shield sleeving to the wire harnesses, 

new clamps, new attaching hardware, 

and new extruded channels. This AD 

was prompted by fuel system reviews 

conducted by the manufacturer. We are 

issuing this AD to reduce the potential 

of ignition sources inside fuel tanks, 

which, in combination with flammable 

fuel vapors, could result in fuel tank 

explosions and consequent loss of the 

airplane. 

DATES: This AD is effective November 9, 

2010. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of November 9, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an airworthiness 

directive (AD) that would apply to 

certain Model DC–10–30, DC–10–30F, 

DC–10–30F (KC–10A and KDC–10), DC– 

10–40, DC–10–40F, and MD–10–30F 

airplanes. That NPRM was published in 

the Federal Register on June 28, 2010 

(75 FR 36579). That NPRM proposed to 

require doing a one-time inspection of 

the wire bundles to determine if wires 

touch the upper surface of the center 

upper auxiliary fuel tank, and marking 

the location if necessary; a one-time 

inspection for splices and damage of all 

wire bundles routed above the center 

upper auxiliary fuel tank; a one-time 

inspection for damage to the fuel vapor 

barrier seal and upper surface of the 

center upper auxiliary fuel tank; and 

corrective actions, if necessary. That 

NPRM also proposed to require 

installing non-metallic barrier/shield 

sleeving to the wire harnesses, new 

clamps, new attaching hardware, and 

new extruded channels. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

have considered the comment received. 

FedEx supports the NPRM. 

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. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 166 

airplanes of U.S. registry.

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.

Repairs, Columbia River, Portland, OR 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Temporary final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is 

establishing a temporary safety zone on 

the waters of the Columbia River due to 

repairs being made to the Interstate 5 

Bridge. The safety zone is necessary to 

ensure the safety of the workers 

involved as well as the maritime public 

and will do so by prohibiting all persons 

and vessels from entering or remaining 

in the safety zone unless authorized by 

the Captain of the Port or his designated 

representative. 

DATES: This rule is effective in the CFR 

on October 5, 2010 through 5 p.m. on 

October 13, 2010. This rule is effective

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulatory Information 

The Coast Guard is issuing this 

temporary final rule without prior 

notice and opportunity to comment 

pursuant to authority under section 4(a) 

of the Administrative Procedure Act 

(APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision 

authorizes an agency to issue a rule 

without prior notice and opportunity to 

comment when the agency for good 

cause finds that those procedures are 

‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary 

to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that 

good cause exists for not publishing a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

with respect to this rule because to do 

so would be contrary to public interest 

since the repairs to the Interstate 5 

Bridge would be completed by the time 

notice could be published and 

comments taken. 

Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast 

Guard finds that good cause exists for 

making this rule effective less than 30 

days after publication in the Federal 

Register because to do otherwise would 

be contrary to the public interest since 

the repairs to the Interstate 5 Bridge 

would be completed by the time the 30 

day period will have passed. 

Basis and Purpose 

The Oregon Department of 

Transportation will be conducting 

inspections and repairs to the Interstate 

5 Bridge over the Columbia River on 

October 4, 5, 8, 11, 12, and 13, 2010. A 

tug and barge equipped with a man lift 

will be in position under the bridge to 

conduct the work. Due to the inherent 

dangers associated with such work, a 

safety zone is necessary to help ensure 

the safety of the workers involved as 

well as the maritime public. 

Discussion of Rule 

The safety zone created by this rule 

encompasses all waters of the Columbia 

River within the area created by 

connecting the following four piers of 

the Interstate 5 Bridge: East Pier 3 across 

the wide span channel to East Pier 5 

then downstream under the bridge to 

West Pier 5, across the wide span 

channel to West Pier 3, then back 

upstream under the bridge to East Pier 

3. The piers are numbered from the 

North bank to the South bank. 

Geographically this location is a 

rectangle enclosing the wide span 

channel of the Interstate 5 Bridge 

starting at the draw span reaching across 

to the first pier of the high span and 

then back to the draw span. 

The safety zone will be in effect from 

6 a.m. through 5 p.m. on October 4, 5, 

8, 11, 12, and 13, 2010. 

All persons and vessels are prohibited 

from entering or remaining in the safety 

zone unless authorized by the Captain 

of the Port or designated representative. 

Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this rule after 

considering numerous statutes and 

executive orders related to rulemaking. 

Below we summarize our analyses 

based on 13 of these statutes or 

executive orders. 

Regulatory Planning and Review 

This rule is not a significant 

regulatory action under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review, and does not 

require an assessment of potential costs 

and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that 

Order. The Office of Management and 

Budget has not reviewed it under that 

Order. The Coast Guard has made this
