AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an 

existing airworthiness directive (AD) 

that applies to all of the McDonnell 

Douglas Corporation airplanes 

identified above. The existing AD 

currently requires revising the 

maintenance program to incorporate 

new airworthiness limitations for fuel 

tank systems to satisfy Special Federal 

Aviation Regulation No. 88 

requirements. This new AD adds 

requirements to revise the maintenance 

program to incorporate specific Critical 

Design Configuration Control 

Limitations (CDCCL) information and 

install fuel tank float switch in-line 

fuses. This new AD also adds two 

Airworthiness Limitations inspections 

(ALIs). This AD results from a design 

review of the fuel tank systems. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent the potential 

for ignition sources inside fuel tanks 

caused by latent failures, alterations, 

repairs, or maintenance actions, which, 

in combination with flammable fuel 

vapors, could result in a fuel tank 

explosion and consequent loss of the 

airplane. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

November 12, 2010. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in the AD 

as of November 12, 2010. 

On May 27, 2008 (73 FR 21523, April 

22, 2008), the Director of the Federal 

Register approved the incorporation by 

reference of a certain other publication 

listed in the AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

The FAA issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that 

supersedes AD 2008–09–04, 

Amendment 39–15484 (73 FR 21523, 

April 22, 2008). The existing AD applies 

to all Model DC–8–31, DC–8–32, DC–8– 

33, DC–8–41, DC–8–42, and DC–8–43 

airplanes; Model DC–8–50 series 

airplanes; Model DC–8F–54 and DC– 

8F–55 airplanes; Model DC–8–60 series 

airplanes; Model DC–8–60F series 

airplanes; Model DC–8–70 series 

airplanes; and Model DC–8–70F series 

airplanes. That NPRM was published in 

the Federal Register on June 25, 2010 

(75 FR 36298). That NPRM proposed to 

continue to require revising the 

maintenance program. That NPRM also 

proposed to add requirements to revise 

the maintenance program to incorporate 

specific Critical Design Configuration 

Control Limitations (CDCCL) 

information and install fuel tank float 

switch in-line fuses. That NPRM also 

proposed to add two Airworthiness 

Limitations inspections (ALIs). 

Relevant Service Information 

We reviewed Boeing DC–8 Special 

Compliance Item Report, MDC– 

02K9030, Revision D, dated June 9, 

2010. This service information does not 

add any additional work. We have 

revised paragraphs (j), (m), and (n) of 

this AD to refer to this report. 

Comments 

We provided the public the 

opportunity to participate in the 

development of this AD. No comments 

have been received on the NPRM or on 

the determination of the cost to the 

public. 

Change to Paragraph Reference 

We revised paragraph (l) of this AD to 

correct a typographical error that 

appeared in the NPRM. In paragraph (l) 

of the NPRM, we inadvertently referred 

to ‘‘paragraph (k)’’ instead of ‘‘paragraph 

(j)’’ of the AD. Paragraph (l) of this final 

rule correctly references paragraph (j) of 

this AD. 

Explanation of Additional Change to 

NPRM 

We also clarified the airplanes 

affected by paragraph (k) of this AD by 

referring to the airplanes identified in 

Boeing Service Bulletin DC8–28–090, 

dated October 9, 2009. Airplanes not 

listed in the effectivity of Boeing Service 

Bulletin DC8–28–090, dated October 9, 

2009, are not required to do the 

installation required by paragraph (k) of 

this AD. 

Conclusion 

We have carefully reviewed the 

available data and determined that air 

safety and the public interest require 

adopting the AD with the changes 

mentioned previously. 

Costs of Compliance 

There are about 125 airplanes of the 

affected design in the worldwide fleet. 

The following table provides the 

estimated costs for U.S. operators to 

comply with this AD.

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 have determined that 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); 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 regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this AD and placed it in the AD docket. 

See the ADDRESSES section for a location 

to examine the regulatory evaluation.

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

■ 2. The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) amends § 39.13 

by removing Amendment 39–15484 (73 

FR 21523, April 22, 2008) and by adding 

the following new airworthiness 

directive (AD): 

2010–21–03 McDonnell Douglas 

Corporation: Amendment 39–16463. 

Docket No. FAA–2010–0639; Directorate 

Identifier 2009–NM–232–AD. 

Effective Date 

(a) This AD becomes effective November 

12, 2010. 

Affected ADs 

(b) This AD supersedes AD 2008–09–04, 

Amendment 39–15484. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to all McDonnell 

Douglas Model DC–8–31, DC–8–32, DC–8– 

33, DC–8–41, DC–8–42, and DC–8–43 

airplanes; Model DC–8–51, DC–8–52, DC–8– 

53, and DC–8–55 airplanes; Model DC–8F–54 

and DC–8F–55 airplanes; Model DC–8–61,

certificated in any category. 

Note 1: This AD requires revisions to 

certain operator maintenance documents to 

include new inspections. Compliance with 

these inspections is required by 14 CFR 

91.403(c). For airplanes that have been 

previously modified, altered, or repaired in 

the areas addressed by these inspections, the 

operator may not be able to accomplish the 

inspections 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 (AMOC) in 

accordance with paragraph (o) 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. 

Subject 

(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 28: Fuel.

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Kwajalein Island, Marshall Islands, RMI 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule, technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This action removes the 

reference to the Kwajalein Tactacial Air 

Navigation (TACAN) System from the 

legal description of the Class E airspace 

areas for Kwajalein Island, Bucholz 

AAF, Marshall Islands, RMI. The U.S. 

Army notified the FAA that the 

Kwajalein TACAN was 

decommissioned. This action corrects 

the legal descriptions for the Class E 

airspace areas in the vicinity of the 

Marshall Islands. 

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, January 

13, 2011. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under 1 CFR part 51, 

subject to the annual revision of FAA 

Order 7400.9 and publication of 

conforming amendments. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ken

and AIM, Federal Aviation 

Administration, 800 Independence 

Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591; 

telephone: (202) 267–8783. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

removing the reference to the Kwajalein 

TACAN, as it has been 

decommissioned, from the legal 

description of Class E airspace 

designated as an extension to a Class D 

surface area, and Class E airspace areas 

extending upward from 700 feet or more 

above the surface of the earth at 

Kwajalein Island, Bucholz AAF, 

Marshall Islands, RMI. Therefore, notice 

and public procedures under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b) are unnecessary. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraphs 6004 and 6005 

of FAA Order 7400.9U signed August 

18, 2010, and effective September 15, 

2010, which is incorporated by 

reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E 

airspace designations listed in this 

document will be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not 

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of 

Transportation (DOT) Regulatory 

Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; 

February 26, 1979); and (3) does not 

warrant preparation of a regulatory 

evaluation as the anticipated impact is 

so minimal. Since this is a routine 

matter that will only affect air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

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. 

This rulemaking is promulgated 

under the authority described in subtitle 

VII, part A, subpart I, section 40103. 

Under that section, the FAA is charged 

with prescribing regulations to assign 

the use of the airspace necessary to 

ensure the safety of aircraft and the 

efficient use of airspace. This regulation 

is within the scope of that authority as 

it amends Class E airspace at Kwajalein 

Island, Marshall Island, RMI. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with 311a., 

FAA Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures.’’ This 

airspace action is not expected to cause 

any potentially significant 

environmental impacts, and no 

extraordinary circumstances exist that 

warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.
