(ii) When AQI treatment services are 

provided by APHIS, APHIS will collect 

the AQI treatment fee applicable at the 

time the treatment is applied from the 

person receiving the services. 

Remittances must be made by check or 

money order, payable in United States 

dollars, through a United States bank, to 

‘‘The Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service.’’ 

(3) Collection of fees. (i) In cases 

where APHIS is not providing the AQI 

treatment and collecting the associated 

fee, AQI user fees collected from 

importers pursuant to paragraph (h) of 

this section shall be held in trust for the 

United States by the person collecting 

such fees, by any person holding such 

fees, or by the person who is ultimately 

responsible for remittance of such fees 

to APHIS. AQI user fees collected from 

importers shall be accounted for 

separately and shall be regarded as trust 

funds held by the person possessing 

such fees as agents, for the beneficial 

interest of the United States. All such 

user fees held by any person shall be 

property in which the person holds only 

a possessory interest and not an 

equitable interest. As compensation for 

collecting, handling, and remitting the 

AQI treatment user fees, the person 

holding such user fees shall be entitled 

to any interest or other investment 

return earned on the user fees between 

the time of collection and the time the 

user fees are due to be remitted to 

APHIS under this section. Nothing in 

this section shall affect APHIS’ right to 

collect interest from the person holding 

such user fees for late remittance. 

(4) Remittance and statement 

procedures. (i) The treatment provider 

that collects the AQI treatment user fee 

must remit the fee to [address to be 

added in final rule]. 

(ii) AQI treatment user fees must be 

remitted to [address to be added in final 

rule] for receipt no later than 31 days 

after the close of the calendar quarter in 

which the AQI user fees were collected. 

Late payments will be subject to 

interest, penalty, and handling charges 

as provided in the Debt Collection Act 

of 1982, as amended by the Debt 

Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (31 

U.S.C. 3717).

Airworthiness Directives; the Boeing 

Company Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

The Boeing Company Model 777 

airplanes. This proposed AD was 

prompted by reports of dual pitch rate 

sensor (PRS) failures, resulting in 

autopilot disconnects. This proposed 

AD would require an inspection to 

determine the PRS part number and 

replacement if necessary. We are 

proposing this AD to prevent a dual PRS 

failure that could cause an automatic 

disengagement of the autopilot and 

autoland, which may prevent continued 

safe flight and landing if disengagement 

occurs at low altitude and the flight 

crew is unable to safely assume control 

and execute a go-around or manual 

landing. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by June 9, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 80 / Friday, April 25, 2014 / Proposed Rules 22909 

Discussion 

We received reports of dual PRS 

failures on Model 777 airplanes causing 

the primary flight computers (PFCs) to 

transition from primary mode to 

secondary mode, resulting in autopilot 

disconnects. Vibration testing of the 

sensors identified a mechanical 

resonance, which can result in an 

erroneous sensor output that the PFCs 

would interpret as a PRS failure. It is 

suspected that variability in 

manufacturing tolerances could cause 

differences in the resonant frequency for 

individual PRS and, when combined 

with variability in the airplane vibration 

environment, results in a PRS failure. 

This condition, if not corrected, could 

cause an automatic disengagement of 

the autopilot and autoland, which may 

prevent continued safe flight and 

landing if disengagement occurs at low 

altitude and the flight crew is unable to 

safely assume control and execute a goaround or manual landing. 

Relevant Service Information 

We reviewed Boeing Special 

Attention Service Bulletin 777–27– 

0115, dated May 22, 2013. For 

information on the procedures, see this 

service information at http://

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

Docket No. FAA–2014–0256. 

FAA’s Determination 

We are proposing this AD because we 

evaluated all the relevant information 

and determined the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop in other products of the same 

type design. 

Proposed AD Requirements 

This proposed AD would require 

accomplishing the actions specified in 

the service information described 

previously, including an inspection to 

determine the PRS part number and 

replacement if necessary. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 47 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 

Inspection ................... 2 work-hours × $85 per hour = $170 ................................................. $0 $170 $7,990 

We estimate the following costs to do 

any necessary replacements that would 

be required based on the results of the 

proposed inspection. We have received 

no definitive data that would enable us 

to provide the cost of parts specified in 

this proposed AD. 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 (Up to 4 PRSs per airplane) .................... Up to 4 work-hours × $85 per hour = $340 ................... $0 Up to $340. 

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.
