Implementation Plans 

CCC will consider stakeholder input 

in determining the revised fee structure. 

CCC plans to implement a revised fee 

structure no later than September 30, 

2009, so that any revised fees will be in 

effect for the FY 2010 GSM–102 

program. Review of the fee structure 

will be an on-going process. CCC 

intends to make future revisions as 

internal and external events warrant, 

including in response to budget subsidy 

re-estimates, with the goal of being 

responsive to comments from program 

participants and meeting the 

requirements of the Act.

Airworthiness Directives; Vulcanair 

S.p.A. Models P 68, P 68B, P 68C, P 

68C–TC, and P 68 ‘‘OBSERVER’’ 

Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 85–08–04, 

which applies to certain Vulcanair 

S.p.A. (Vulcanair) Models P 68, P 68B, 

P 68C, P 68C–TC, and P 68 

‘‘OBSERVER’’ airplanes. AD 85–08–04 

currently requires you to repetitively 

visually inspect the front and rear wing 

spars for cracks. If cracks are found, AD 

85–08–04 requires you to modify the 

wing spars. The wing spar modification 

terminates the repetitive inspection AD 

action and may be installed before 

cracks develop. Since we issued AD 85– 

08–04, the manufacturer revised the 

modification kit and identified 

additional airplane serial numbers that 

require the inspection and/or 

modification. Consequently, this 

proposed AD would retain the actions of 

AD 85–08–04, allow you to install the 

revised modification kit, and add 

additional serial numbers to the 

Applicability section. We are proposing 

this AD to detect and correct cracks in 

the front and rear wing spar, which 

could result in the wing separating from 

the airplane. This failure could lead to 

loss of control. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by November 5, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Use one of the following 

addresses to comment on this proposed 

AD: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to 

http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments Invited 

We invite you to send any written 

relevant data, views, or arguments 

regarding this proposed AD. Send your 

comments to an address listed under the 

ADDRESSES section. Include the docket 

number, ‘‘FAA–2009–0869; Directorate 

Identifier 2009–CE–043–AD’’ at the

overall regulatory, economic, 

environmental, and energy aspects of 

the proposed AD. We will consider all 

comments received by the closing date 

and may amend the proposed AD in 

light of those comments. 

We will post all comments we

Discussion 

Reports of cracks in the front and rear 

wing spar on Vulcanair P 68 series 

airplanes caused us to issue AD 85–08– 

04, Amendment 39–5037 (50 FR 14370, 

April 12, 1985). AD 85–08–04 currently 

requires the following on certain 

Vulcanair Models P 68, P 68B, P 68C, P 

68C–TC, and P 68 ‘‘OBSERVER’’ 

airplanes: 

• Repetitively visually inspecting the 

front and rear wing spars; 

• Repairing the front and rear wing 

spars if cracks are found; and 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 181 / Monday, September 21, 2009 / Proposed Rules 48017 

• Modifying the front and rear spar if 

cracks are found or as a terminating 

action to the repetitive inspections. 

Since we issued AD 85–08–04, the 

manufacturer revised the modification 

kit and identified additional airplane 

serial numbers that require the 

inspection and/or modification. 

This condition, if not corrected, could 

result in the wing separating from the 

airplane. This failure could lead to loss 

of control. 

Relevant Service Information 

We have reviewed Partenavia 

Costruzioni Aeronautiche S.p.A. Service 

Bulletin No. 65 Rev. 3, dated September 

30, 1985. 

The service information describes 

procedures for: 

• Inspecting the front and rear wing 

spars for cracks; 

• Repairing the front and rear spars if 

cracks are found; and 

• Installing a front and rear spar 

modification kit. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of the Proposed AD 

We are proposing this AD because we 

evaluated all information and 

determined the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. This proposed AD would 

supersede AD 85–08–04 with a new AD 

that would retain the actions of AD 85– 

08–04, allow you to install the revised 

modification kit, and add additional 

serial numbers to the Applicability 

section. This proposed AD would 

require you to use the service 

information described previously to 

perform these actions. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

would affect 81 airplanes in the U.S. 

registry. 

We estimate the following costs to do 

the proposed inspection: 

Labor cost Parts cost Total cost per 

airplane 

Total cost on 

U.S. operators 

24 work-hours × $80 per hour = $1,920 ................................................... Not applicable .................................. $1,920 $155,520 

We estimate the following costs to do 

any necessary repair and modification 

that would be required based on the 

results of the proposed inspection. We 

have no way of determining the number 

of airplanes that may need this repair/ 

replacement: 

Labor cost Parts cost Total cost per 

airplane 

100 work-hours × $80 per hour = $8,000 ............................................................................................................... $700 $8,700 

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 

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 that the 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. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this proposed AD and placed it in the 

AD docket. 

Examining the AD Docket 

You may examine the AD docket that 

contains the proposed AD, the 

regulatory evaluation, any comments 

received, and other information on the 

Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; 

or in person at the Docket Management 

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

Monday through Friday, except Federal 

holidays. The Docket Office (telephone 

(800) 647–5527) is located at the street 

address stated in the ADDRESSES section. 

Comments will be available in the AD 

docket shortly after receipt.

85–08–04, Amendment 39–5037 (50 FR 

14370, April 12, 1985), and adding the 

following new AD:
