AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above. This AD results 

from mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated 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: 

[T]he Federal Aviation Administration 

(FAA) has published Special Federal 

Aviation Regulation (SFAR) 88, and the Joint 

Aviation Authorities (JAA) has published 

Interim Policy INT/POL/25/12. The review 

conducted by Fokker Services on the Fokker 

F28 Type Design in response to these 

regulations revealed that, under certain 

failure conditions, a short circuit may 

develop in the collector tank level float 

switch wiring. Such a short circuit may result 

in an ignition source in the tank vapour 

space. 

This condition, if not corrected, could 

result in a wing fuel tank explosion and 

consequent loss of the aeroplane. 

* * * * * 

We are issuing this AD to require 

actions to correct the unsafe condition 

on these products. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

September 16, 2011. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of September 16, 2011.

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 May 17, 2011 (76 FR 28373). 

That NPRM proposed to correct an 

unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

[T]he Federal Aviation Administration 

(FAA) has published Special Federal 

Aviation Regulation (SFAR) 88, and the Joint 

Aviation Authorities (JAA) has published 

Interim Policy INT/POL/25/12. The review 

conducted by Fokker Services on the Fokker 

F28 Type Design in response to these 

regulations revealed that, under certain 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with RULES
50116 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 156 / Friday, August 12, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 

failure conditions, a short circuit may 

develop in the collector tank level float 

switch wiring. Such a short circuit may result 

in an ignition source in the tank vapour 

space. 

This condition, if not corrected, could 

result in a wing fuel tank explosion and 

consequent loss of the aeroplane. 

For the reasons described above, this 

[European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)] 

AD requires the installation of a fuse packed 

in a jiffy junction [i.e., crimped wire in-line 

junction device] in the collector tank level 

float switch wiring. 

The required actions also include 

revising the aircraft maintenance 

program by incorporating critical design 

configuration control limitations 

(CDCCLs). You may obtain further 

information by examining the MCAI in 

the AD docket. 

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 available data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

as proposed. 

Differences Between This AD and the 

MCAI or Service Information 

We have reviewed the MCAI and 

related service information and, in 

general, agree with their substance. But 

we might have found it necessary to use 

different words from those in the MCAI 

to ensure the AD is clear for U.S. 

operators and is enforceable. In making 

these changes, we do not intend to differ 

substantively from the information 

provided in the MCAI and related 

service information. 

We might also have required different 

actions in this AD from those in the 

MCAI in order to follow our FAA 

policies. Any such differences are 

highlighted in a NOTE within the AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD will affect 4 

products of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it will take about 5 workhours per product to comply with the 

basic requirements of this AD. The 

average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. 

Required parts will cost about $825 per 

product. Where the service information 

lists required parts costs that are 

covered under warranty, we have 

assumed that there will be no charge for 

these parts. As we do not control 

warranty coverage for affected parties, 

some parties may incur costs higher 

than estimated here. Based on these 

figures, we estimate the cost of this AD 

to the U.S. operators to be $5,000, or 

$1,250 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 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 this AD: 

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 AD and placed it in the AD docket. 

Examining the AD Docket 

You may examine the AD docket on 

the Internet at http:// 

www.regulations.gov; or in person at the 

Docket Operations office between 9 a.m. 

and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

except Federal holidays. The AD docket 

contains the NPRM, the regulatory 

evaluation, any comments received, and 

other information. The street address for 

the Docket Operations office (telephone 

(800) 647–5527) is in the ADDRESSES

section. Comments will be available in 

the AD docket shortly after receipt. 

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 adding 

the following new AD: 

2011–17–03 Fokker Services B.V.: 

Amendment 39–16767. Docket No. 

FAA–2011–0472; Directorate Identifier 

2011–NM–005–AD. 

Effective Date 

(a) This airworthiness directive (AD) 

becomes effective September 16, 2011. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to Fokker Services B.V. 

Model F.28 Mark 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 

airplanes, certificated in any category, all 

serial numbers. 

Note 1: This AD requires revisions to 

certain operator maintenance documents to 

include new Critical Design Configuration 

Control Limitations (CDCCLs). Compliance 

with these CDCCLs is required by 14 CFR 

91.403(c). For airplanes that have been 

previously modified, altered, or repaired in 

the areas addressed by this AD, the operator 

may not be able to accomplish the actions 

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) 

according to paragraph (j) of this AD. The 

request should include a description of 

changes to the required actions that will 

ensure the continued operational safety of 

the airplane. 

Subject 

(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 28: Fuel. 

Reason 

(e) The mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) states: 

[T]he Federal Aviation Administration 

(FAA) has published Special Federal 

Aviation Regulation (SFAR) 88, and the Joint 

Aviation Authorities (JAA) has published 

Interim Policy INT/POL/25/12. The review 

conducted by Fokker Services on the Fokker 

F28 Type Design in response to these 

regulations revealed that, under certain 

failure conditions, a short circuit may

develop in the collector tank level float 

switch wiring. Such a short circuit may result 

in an ignition source in the tank vapour 

space. 

This condition, if not corrected, could 

result in a wing fuel tank explosion and 

consequent loss of the aeroplane. 

* * * * * 

Compliance 

(f) You are responsible for having the 

actions required by this AD performed within 

the compliance times specified, unless the 

actions have already been done. 

Actions 

(g) Within 24 months after the effective 

date of this AD, install fuses packed in jiffy 

junctions [i.e., crimped wire in-line junction 

device], in accordance with the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Fokker 

Service Bulletin SBF28–28–049, dated June 

23, 2010, including Fokker Drawing W57273, 

Sheet 002, Issue C, dated June 23, 2010, 

Fokker Drawing W58048, Sheet 1, dated 

April 29, 2010, and Fokker Manual Change 

Notification MCNM–F28–035, dated June 23, 

2010. 

Maintenance Program Revision 

(h) Before further flight after doing the 

modification required in paragraph (g) of this 

AD: Revise the maintenance program by 

incorporating the CDCCL specified in 

paragraph 1.L.(1)(c) of Fokker Service 

Bulletin SBF28–28–049, dated June 23, 2010, 

including Fokker Drawing W57273, Sheet 

002, Issue C, dated June 23, 2010, Fokker 

Drawing W58048, Sheet 1, dated April 29, 

2010, and Fokker Manual Change 

Notification MCNM–F28–035, dated June 23, 

2010. 

No Alternative Critical Design Configuration 

Control Limitations (CDCCLs) 

(i) After accomplishing the revision 

required by paragraph (h) of this AD, no 

alternative CDCCLs may be used unless the 

CDCCLs are approved as an alternative 

method of compliance (AMOC) in 

accordance with the procedures specified in 

paragraph (j) of this AD. 

FAA AD Differences 

Note 2: This AD differs from the MCAI 

and/or service information as follows: 

Although European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA) Airworthiness Directive 2010–0194, 

dated September 29, 2010, specifies both 

revising the maintenance program to include 

limitations, and maintaining CDCCLs, this 

AD only requires the revision. Requiring a 

revision of the maintenance program, rather 

than requiring maintaining CDCCLs, requires 

operators to record AD compliance only at 

the time the revision is made. Maintaining 

CDCCLs specified in the airworthiness 

limitations must be complied with in 

accordance with 14 CFR 91.403(c). 

Other FAA AD Provisions 

(j) The following provisions also apply to 

this AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, International 

Branch, ANM–116, Transport Airplane 

Directorate, FAA, has the authority to 

approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. 

In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, send your 

request to your principal inspector or local 

Flight Standards District Office, as 

appropriate. If sending information directly 

to the International Branch, send it to Attn: 

Tom Rodriguez, Aerospace Engineer, 

International Branch, ANM–116, Transport 

Airplane Directorate, FAA, 1601 Lind 

Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington 98057– 

3356; telephone (425) 227–1137; fax (425) 

227–1149. Information may be e-mailed to: 

9-ANM-116-AMOC-REQUESTS@faa.gov. 

Before using any approved AMOC, notify 

your appropriate principal inspector, or 

lacking a principal inspector, the manager of 

the local flight standards district office/ 

certificate holding district office. The AMOC 

approval letter must specifically reference 

this AD. 

(2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement 

in this AD to obtain corrective actions from 

a manufacturer or other source, use these 

actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective 

actions are considered FAA-approved if they 

are approved by the State of Design Authority 

(or their delegated agent). You are required 

to assure the product is airworthy before it 

is returned to service.
