B. Issues on Which DOE Seeks 

Information 

DOE is particularly interested in 

receiving information on the following 

issues: 

(1) Differences between site-built and 

factory-built construction techniques 

that may justify creating unique energy 

efficiency requirements for 

manufactured housing that are different 

from the requirements in the 2009 IECC. 

(2) Specific construction cost data on 

manufactured home measures affecting 

energy efficiency such as insulation 

levels including associated construction 

impacts, fenestration (windows, 

skylights and doors), duct design and 

insulation, and permanent lighting; 

specifically any information on an 

increase or decrease in first cost to the 

home purchaser of designing and 

constructing manufactured homes 

consistent with the current IECC. 

(3) Other economic parameters such 

as lending scenarios, interest rates, loan 

duration, energy costs, and 

recommended values and approaches 

for addressing financial considerations 

and life cycle costs. 

(4) Statistics associated with HVAC 

system and equipment type, window 

type, and insulation levels, provided in 

recently built new manufactured homes 

by state or region. 

(5) Energy and/or operational cost 

savings estimates and/or metered data 

associated with different energy options 

for manufactured housing design and 

construction. 

(6) The range of design specifications 

available for products, systems, 

equipment, and materials used in the 

construction of manufactured homes, 

and statistics on their frequency of use 

in manufactured homes. 

(7) The manner in which applicable 

climatic differences should be 

addressed through a singular energy 

standard addressing manufactured 

homes. 

(8) Areas in the current HUD code 

that are directly or indirectly related to 

energy or affect energy use of which 

DOE should be aware in establishing 

energy standards for manufactured 

housing (e.g., structural requirements 

that could affect the ability of a wall 

assembly to meet certain energy 

efficiency criteria or the relationship of 

wind loads and fenestration design). 

(9) Relationship, if any, DOE energy 

standards for manufactured housing 

should have with other existing energy 

programs for manufactured housing 

(e.g., ENERGY STAR) and/or the 

analysis that DOE should conduct in 

assessing such programs. 

(10) Relationship, if any, that DOE 

energy conservation standards for 

manufactured housing should have with 

HUD’s manufactured home construction 

and safety standards. 

(11) Whether DOE’s system of 

enforcement should compliment and/or 

be compatible with HUD’s existing 

system of enforcement of the HUD Code 

for manufactured homes. 

(12) What characteristics should 

DOE’s system of enforcement have. 

(13) Suggested sources, studies, and 

research results of other information 

considered relevant to DOE’s effort to 

establish energy standards for 

manufactured housing.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing 

Company Model 767 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 

Model 767–200, –300, –300F, and 

–400ER series airplanes. This proposed 

AD would require a detailed inspection 

of the entryway door movable ceiling 

panel for pin migration at either end of 

the hinge assembly and damage to the 

pin; a detailed inspection for correct 

crimp at both ends and damage to hinge 

stock; a detailed inspection of the 

ceiling area for any visible cosmetic 

and/or tie-rod chafing that could be 

caused by a migrated hinge pin; and a 

detailed inspection for wire damage 

and/or breakage; and other specified 

and corrective actions if necessary. This 

proposed AD results from reports of 

fault messages caused by improperly 

crimped hinge pins coming into contact 

with wires and causing damage. We are 

proposing this AD to detect and correct 

improperly crimped hinge pins, which 

could damage tie rods and wire bundles, 

causing shorts in many systems, 

including the spar fuel shut off valve, 

oxygen mask deployment, and burned 

wires, which could be an ignition 

source in a hidden area of the airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by April 8, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments Invited 

We invite you to send any written 

relevant data, views, or arguments about 

this proposed AD. Send your comments 

to an address listed under the 

ADDRESSES section. Include ‘‘Docket No. 

FAA–2010–0127; Directorate Identifier 

2009–NM–242–AD’’ at the beginning of 

your comments. We specifically invite 

comments on the overall regulatory, 

economic, environmental, and energy 

aspects of this proposed AD. We will 

consider all comments received by the 

closing date and may amend this 

proposed AD because of those 

comments. 

We will post all comments we 

receive, without change, to http:// 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information you provide. We 

will also post a report summarizing each 

substantive verbal contact we receive 

about this proposed AD. 

Discussion 

We received a report that an operator 

experienced several fault messages and 

circuit breakers tripping during a flight. 

An investigation revealed that the hinge 

pin on the movable ceiling panel of the 

entryway door on the forward left side 

had come into contact with some wire 

bundles, causing damaged, broken, and 

burned wires, resulting in system short 

circuits and circuit breakers tripping. 

There were also reported instances of 

migrating hinge pins causing minor 

cosmetic damage and tie-rod chafing. 

Boeing conducted a quality assurance 

investigation and determined that the 

cause of the migrating hinge pin 

resulted from the vendor not properly 

crimping the hinge assembly stock in 

accordance with specifications. This 

condition, if not corrected, could 

damage tie rods and wire bundles, 

causing shorts in many systems, 

including the spar fuel shut off valve, 

oxygen mask deployment, and burned 

wires, which could be an ignition 

source in a hidden area of the airplane. 

Relevant Service Information 

We have reviewed Boeing Service 

Bulletin 767–25–0477, dated August 27, 

2009. The service bulletin describes 

procedures for doing the following 

detailed inspections: 

• A detailed inspection for pin 

migration at either end of the hinge 

assembly and damage to the pin. 

• A detailed inspection for correct 

crimp at both ends and damage to hinge 

stock. 

• A detailed inspection of the ceiling 

area for any visible cosmetic and/or tierod chafing that could be caused by a 

migrated hinge pin. 

• A detailed inspection for wire 

damage and/or breakage. 

The service bulletin also describes other 

specified actions including repartmarking the moveable panel 

assemblies and the hinge if necessary, 

and corrective actions, including 

crimping the hinge assembly, repairing 

tie-rod chafing, repairing wire damage, 

and replacing the hinge assembly. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This Proposed AD 

We are proposing this AD because we 

evaluated all relevant information and 

determined the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop in other products of the same 

type design. This proposed AD would 

require accomplishing the actions 

specified in the service information 

described previously. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

would affect 273 airplanes of U.S. 

registry. We also estimate that it would 

take about 6 work-hours per product to 

comply with this proposed AD. The 

average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. 

Required parts would cost about $770 

per product. Based on these figures, we 

estimate the cost of this proposed AD to 

the U.S. operators to be $349,440, or 

$1,280 per product. 

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), 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. 

You can find our regulatory 

evaluation and the estimated costs of 

compliance in the AD Docket.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Native American Housing 

Assistance and Self-Determination Act 

of 1996 (25 U.S.C. 4101 et seq.) 

(NAHASDA) changed the way that 

housing assistance is provided to Native 

Americans. NAHASDA eliminated 

several separate assistance programs 

and replaced them with a single block 

grant program, known as the Indian 

Housing Block Grant (IHBG) program. In 

addition, Title VI of NAHASDA 

authorizes Federal guarantees for the 

financing of certain tribal activities 

(Title VI Loan Guarantee Program). The 

regulations governing the IHBG and 

Title VI Loan Guarantee programs are 

located in part 1000 of HUD’s 

regulations in title 24 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations. In accordance with 

section 106 of NAHASDA, HUD 

developed the regulations with active 

tribal participation and using the 

procedures of the Negotiated 

Rulemaking Act of 1996 (5 U.S.C. 561– 

570). 

The Native American Housing 

Assistance and Self-Determination 

Reauthorization Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 

110–411, approved October 14, 2008) 

(NAHASDA Reauthorization) 

reauthorizes NAHASDA through 

September 30, 2013, and makes a
