Airplanes; Equipped With Certain 

Cockpit Door Installations 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bombardier Model DHC–8–102, –103, 

–106, –201, –202, –301, –311, –314, and 

–315 airplanes. This AD requires certain 

Bombardier Model DHC–8–102, –103, 

–106, –201, –202, –301, –311, –314, and 

–315 airplanes. This AD results from a 

report that, during structural testing of 

the cockpit door, the lower hinge block 

rotated and caused the mating hinge pin 

to disengage, and caused excessive door 

deflection. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent failure of a door attachment, 

which could result in uncontrolled 

release of the cockpit door under certain 

fuselage decompression conditions, and 

possible damage to the airplane 

structure. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective July 

18, 2006. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in the AD 

as of July 18, 2006.

Examining the Docket 

You may examine the airworthiness 

directive (AD) docket on the Internet at 

http://dms.dot.gov or in person at the 

Docket Management Facility office 

between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday 

through Friday, except Federal holidays.

(telephone (800) 647–5227) is located on 

the plaza level of the Nassif Building at 

the street address stated in the 

ADDRESSES section. 

Discussion 

The FAA issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that would 

apply to certain Bombardier Model 

DHC–8–102, –103, –106, –201, –202, 

–301, –311, –314, and –315 airplanes. 

That NPRM was published in the 

Federal Register on April 11, 2006 (71 

FR 18244). That NPRM proposed to 

require modifying the hinge attachment 

for the cockpit door from a single-point 

attachment to a two-point attachment. 

Comments 

We provided the public the 

opportunity to participate in the 

development of this AD. We have 

considered the one comment received. 

The commenter, the Air Line Pilots 

Association, supports the NPRM. 

Conclusion 

We have carefully reviewed the 

available data, including the comment 

received, and determined that air safety 

and the public interest require adopting 

the AD as proposed. 

Costs of Compliance 

This AD will affect about 16 airplanes 

of U.S. registry. The required actions 

will take between 3 and 6 work hours 

per airplane, depending on the airplane 

configuration. The average labor rate is 

$80 per work hour. Required parts will 

cost about $2,000 per airplane. Based on 

these figures, the estimated cost of this 

AD for U.S. operators is between 

$35,840 and $39,680, or between $2,240 

and $2,480 per airplane. 

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 

mstockstill on PROD1PC61 with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 113 / Tuesday, June 13, 2006 / Rules and Regulations 34007 

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.

Authorization To Appoint Any 

Commerce Department Employee To 

Be Appeals Coordinator in Certain 

Administrative Appeals 

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and 

Security, Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule revises Section 

756.2 of the Export Administration 

Regulations (EAR) to authorize the 

Under Secretary for Industry and 

Security to designate any employee of 

the Department of Commerce to be the 

appeals coordinator for appeals of 

administrative actions taken under part 

756 of the EAR. Such designation of 

employees from outside the Bureau of 

Industry and Security shall require the 

concurrence of the head of the operating 

unit in which that employee is 

employed. Prior to publication of this 

rule, only a ‘‘BIS official’’ might have 

been designated as appeals coordinator. 

DATES: This rule is effective June 13, 

2006. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

William Arvin, Regulatory Policy 

Division, Office of Exporter Services, 

warvin@bis.doc.gov, 202 482 2440. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Part 756 of the EAR provides the 

procedures for appeal of administrative 

actions taken by BIS under the Export 

Administration Act or the Export 

Administration Regulations. The 

procedures of part 756 apply to actions 

other than the issuance, amendment, 

revocation or appeal of a regulation, and 

most enforcement actions taken under 

part 764 or 766 of the EAR. Part 756 

authorizes the Under Secretary for 

Industry and Security to designate an 

‘‘appeals coordinator to assist in the 

review and processing of an appeal 

* * *.’’ Prior to publication of this rule, 

part 756 authorized the Under Secretary 

for Industry and Security to designate 

‘‘any BIS official’’ as appeals 

coordinator. This rule authorizes the 

Under Secretary for Industry and 

Security to designate any employee of 

the Department of Commerce to be the 

appeals coordinator. The Under 

Secretary for Industry and Security must 

have the concurrence of the head of the 

operating unit in which the employee is 

employed to make such a designation of 

a Department of Commerce employee 

who is not an employee of BIS. 

The agency is making this change, 

which is administrative in nature, in 

order to provide the Under Secretary 

and the Department of Commerce with 

additional flexibility in allocating 

limited legal and official staff resources 

to the review and processing of appeals 

under part 756. The authority to decide 

appeals will remain with the Under 

Secretary, in accordance with section 

756.2(c)(1) of the EAR, subject to the 

Under Secretary’s authority to delegate 

that function to the Deputy Under 

Secretary or another BIS official in 

accordance with section 756.2(a). 

Moreover, this change will not affect the 

Under Secretary’s authority to consider 

recommendations or other relevant 

information (from either the appeals 

coordinator or any other source) in 

deciding appeals, in accordance with 

section 756.2(c)(1). Nor will this change 

affect the substance of the agency’s 

ongoing decision-making activities.
