SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 5, 2011 (76 FR 61625), the NRC 

published a notice of receipt (76 FR 

61625) for PRM–26–7. The petitioner 

requested the NRC to amend its 

regulations under 10 CFR 26.187(b)(5) to 

include the Academy as one of the 

organizations authorized to certify a 

substance abuse expert. 

The NRC received one comment 

during the public comment period 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML11341A064), 

which closed on December 19, 2011. 

The commenter, a student pursuing a 

master’s degree in social work, provided 

a statement in support of the Academy’s 

request to amend the NRC’s regulations. 

The commenter stated that by 

‘‘amending the NRC’s regulations to 

include the Academy as an authorized 

organization to certify substance abuse 

experts, more individuals can become 

qualified to provide addiction 

counseling. This would hopefully 

reduce the number of under qualified 

care providers and ensure that the 

clients are receiving the highest level of 

care.’’ 

The NRC determined that the issues 

raised in PRM–26–7 are appropriate for 

consideration and will address them in 

the ongoing 10 CFR part 26 Technical 

Issues rulemaking. Docket No. PRM–26– 

7 is closed. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 17th day 

of May 2012.

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are superseding an 

existing airworthiness directive (AD) for 

certain The Boeing Company Model 

767–200, –300, and –400ER series 

airplanes. That AD currently requires 

replacing the separation link assembly

doors with an improved separation link 

assembly, and doing related 

investigative and corrective actions if 

necessary. This new AD adds an

airplane to the applicability and 

removes certain other airplanes. This 

AD was prompted by a report that an 

additional airplane is subject to the 

unsafe condition. We are issuing this 

AD to prevent failure of an entry or 

service door to open fully in the event 

of an emergency evacuation, which 

could impede exit from the airplane. 

This condition could result in injury to 

passengers or crewmembers. 

DATES: This AD is effective July 12, 

2012. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of July 12, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to supersede AD 2009–04–12, 

Amendment 39–15818 (74 FR 8717, 

February 26, 2009). That AD applies to 

the specified products. The NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

July 19, 2011 (76 FR 42607). That NPRM 

proposed to continue to require 

replacing the separation link assembly 

on the applicable entry and service 

doors with an improved separation link 

assembly, and doing related 

investigative and corrective actions if 

necessary. That NPRM also proposed to 

add an airplane to the applicability and 

also remove certain other airplanes from 

the applicability. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. The 

following presents the comments 

received on the proposal (76 FR 42607, 

July 19, 2011) and the FAA’s response 

to each comment. 

Request To Remove Certain Airplanes 

From the Applicability Statement 

ANA stated that it has converted 

seven airplanes to a freighter 

configuration, not the four that were 

described in the Actions Since Existing 

AD Was Issued section of the proposed 

AD (76 FR 42607, July 19, 2011). 

We infer the commenter requested 

that we revise the applicability of this 

AD. Airplanes that have been converted 

to a freighter configuration do not have 

active escape slides that are affected by 

the unsafe condition. We have revised 

paragraph (c) of this AD to apply to 

airplanes operating in a passenger or 

passenger/cargo configuration, and to 

indicate that the requirements of this 

AD become applicable when an airplane 

is converted to a passenger or 

passenger/cargo configuration. 

Request To Revise the Description of 

Certain Service Bulletins 

Boeing requested that the description 

of Boeing Special Attention Service 

Bulletin 767–25–0428, Revision 2, dated 

February 4, 2010; and Boeing Special 

Attention Service Bulletin 767–25– 

0428, Revision 3, dated October 21, 

2010; be revised. Boeing noted that the 

descriptions given in the Relevant 

Service Information section of the 

proposed AD (76 FR 42607, July 19, 

2011) do not match the revision 

descriptions as given in those service 

bulletins. 

We agree to provide clarification. The 

Relevant Service Information section is 

intended to describe only major changes 

made to the service information without 

describing those changes in detail. In 

addition, the Relevant Service 

Information section is not restated in a 

final rule. Therefore, we have not 

changed the AD in this regard. 

Request To Provide Credit for 

Accomplishing a Service Bulletin With 

Information From an Information 

Notice 

United Airlines (UAL) requested that 

we provide credit for accomplishing 

Boeing Special Attention Service 

Bulletin 767–25–0428, Revision 2, dated 

February 4, 2010; and Boeing Service 

Bulletin Information Notice 767–25– 

0428 IN 03, dated May 6, 2010. Boeing 

Special Attention Service Bulletin 767– 

25–0428, Revision 3, dated October 21, 

2010, includes the information provided 

in that information notice. 

We partially agree. The content of an 

information notice is not approved by 

the FAA and is not intended to be used 

as a basis for deviation from an FAAapproved service bulletin. We have not 

revised the AD in this regard. However, 

we have provided credit for 

accomplishing Boeing Special Attention 

Service Bulletin 767–25–0428, Revision 

2, dated February 4, 2010, in paragraph 

(h) of this final rule. 

Explanation of Changes Made to This 

AD 

We have revised the wording in 

paragraph (h) of this AD. This change 

has not affected the intent of that 

paragraph. 

We have removed table 1 of the 

proposed AD (76 FR 42607, July 19, 

2011). Instead, we have added 

paragraph (g)(3) of this final rule to 

specify the applicable service 

information for accomplishing the 

actions required by paragraph (g) of this 

AD. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data, 

considered the comments received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

with the changes described previously— 

and minor editorial changes. We have 

determined that these minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (76 FR 

42607, July 19, 2011) for correcting the 

unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (76 FR 42607, 

July 19, 2011). 

We also determined that this change 

will not increase the economic burden 

on any operator or increase the scope of 

the 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), 

(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. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference, 

Safety. 

Adoption of the Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as 

follows: 

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS 

DIRECTIVES 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 39 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by 

removing airworthiness directive (AD) 

2009–04–12, Amendment 39–15818 (74 

FR 8717, February 26, 2009), and adding 

the following new AD: 

2012–11–11 The Boeing Company: 

Amendment 39–17074; Docket No. 

FAA–2011–0719; Directorate Identifier 

2010–NM–087–AD. 

(a) Effective Date 

This airworthiness directive (AD) is 

effective July 12, 2012. 

(b) Affected ADs 

This AD supersedes AD 2009–04–12, 

Amendment 39–15818 (74 FR 8717, February 

26, 2009). 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to The Boeing Company 

Model 767–200, –300, and –400ER series 

airplanes; operating in a passenger or 

passenger/cargo configuration; certificated in 

any category; as identified in Boeing Special 

Attention Service Bulletin 767–25–0428, 

Revision 3, dated October 21, 2010. The 

requirements of this AD become applicable at 

the time an airplane operating in an all-cargo 

configuration is converted to a passenger or 

passenger/cargo configuration. 

(d) Subject 

Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)/

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by reports that 

entry and service doors did not open fully 

during deployment of emergency escape 

slides, and reports of missing snap rings. We 

are issuing this AD to prevent failure of an 

entry or service door to open fully in the 

event of an emergency evacuation, which 

could impede exit from the airplane. This 

condition could result in injury to passengers 

or crewmembers. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Retained Replacement 

This paragraph restates the requirements of 

paragraph (f) of AD 2009–04–12, Amendment 

39–15818 (74 FR 8717, February 26, 2009). 

At the applicable time specified in 

paragraphs (g)(1) and (g)(2) of this AD, 

replace the separation link assembly on the 

deployment bar of the emergency escape 

system on all the applicable entry and service 

doors with an improved separation link 

assembly, and do all the applicable related 

investigative and corrective actions before 

further flight, by accomplishing all of the 

applicable actions specified in the 

Accomplishment Instructions of any service 

bulletin identified in paragraphs (g)(3)(i) 

through (g)(3)(iii) of this AD. After April 2, 

2009 (the effective date of AD 2009–04–12), 

only the service bulletins specified in 

paragraphs (g)(3)(ii) and (g)(3)(iii) of this AD 

may be used to accomplish the actions 

required by this paragraph. After the effective 

date of this AD, only the service bulletin 

identified in paragraph (g)(3)(iii) of this AD 

may be used to accomplish the actions 

required by this paragraph. 

(1) For airplanes other than those having 

variable number VN 137: Within 48 months 

after April 2, 2009 (the effective date of AD 

2009–04–12, Amendment 39–15818 (74 FR 

8717, February 26, 2009)). 

(2) For the airplane having variable number 

VN 137: Within 48 months after the effective 

date of this AD. 

(3) Use the following service information,

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for Alpha 

Aviation Concept Limited Model R2160 

Airplanes. This AD results from 

mandatory continuing airworthiness 

information (MCAI) issued by an 

aviation authority of another country to 

identify and correct an unsafe condition 

on an aviation product. The MCAI 

describes the unsafe condition as oil 

lines fitted to affected aircraft are not 

fire resistant. We are issuing this AD to 

require actions to address the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

DATES: This AD is effective July 12, 

2012. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in the AD 

as of July 12, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD 

docket on the Internet at http://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. That 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on March 19, 2012 (77 FR 

15980). That NPRM proposed to correct 

an unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

It has been determined that the oil lines 

fitted to affected aircraft are not fire resistant 

and not compliant with the requirements in 

FAR 23.1183. To correct this unsafe 

condition the Civil Aviation Authority of 

New Zealand issued DCA/R2000/34 

requiring the replacement of oil lines with 

fire resistant lines. Since the issue of that AD 

it has been determined that the oil 

transmitter hoses are also not compliant with 

FAR 23.1183. DCA/R2000/40 retains the 

requirements in superseded DCA/R2000/34. 

The AD requirement expanded to include the 

replacement of the oil pressure transducer 

hoses. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM or 

on the determination of the cost to the 

public. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data 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: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 

15980, March 19, 2012) for correcting 

the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 15980, 

March 19, 2012).
