products identified in this rulemaking 

action. 

Regulatory Findings 

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. 

You can find our regulatory 

evaluation and the estimated costs of 

compliance in the AD Docket.

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: 

2010–16–03 McDonnell Douglas 

Corporation: Amendment 39–16379. 

Docket No. FAA–2008–0403; Directorate 

Identifier 2007–NM–166–AD. 

Effective Date 

(a) This airworthiness directive (AD) is 

effective September 9, 2010. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to McDonnell Douglas 

Corporation Model MD–11 and MD–11F 

airplanes, certified in any category, equipped 

with General Electric CF6–80C2 series 

engines. 

Subject 

(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 30: Ice and rain protection. 

Unsafe Condition 

(e) This AD results from reports of several 

in-flight engine flameouts, including 

multiple dual engine flameout events, in icecrystal icing conditions. We are issuing this 

AD to ensure that the flightcrew has the 

proper procedures to follow in certain icing 

conditions. These certain icing conditions 

could cause a multiple engine flameout 

during flight with the potential inability to 

restart the engines, and consequent forced 

landing of the airplane. 

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. 

Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) Revision 

(g) Within 14 days after the effective date 

of this AD, revise the Limitations Section of 

the McDonnell Douglas MD–11/MD–11F 

AFM to include the following statement. This 

may be done by inserting a copy of this AD 

into the AFM. 

‘‘Prior to reducing thrust for descent when 

icing conditions (defined by visible moisture 

in the air and TAT is 6 °C or below) are 

present, the ENG IGN OVRD switch and the 

ENG, WING, and TAIL ANTI-ICE switches 

must be placed in the ON position. When 

icing conditions are no longer present or 

anticipated, place the ENG IGN OVRD switch 

and the ENG, WING, and TAIL ANTI-ICE 

switches in the OFF position.’’ 

Note 1: When a statement identical to that 

in paragraph (g) of this AD has been included 

in the general revisions of the AFM, the 

general revisions may be inserted into the 

AFM, and the copy of this AD may be 

removed from the AFM. 

Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(h)(1) The Manager, Los Angeles Aircraft 

Certification Office (ACO), FAA, has the 

authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if 

requested using the procedures found in 14 

CFR 39.19. Send information to ATTN: 

Samuel Lee, Aerospace Engineer, Propulsion 

Branch, ANM–140L, FAA, Los Angeles 

Aircraft Certification Office, 3960 Paramount 

Boulevard, Lakewood, California 90712– 

4137; telephone (562) 627–5262; fax (562) 

627–5210. 

(2) To request a different method of 

compliance or a different compliance time 

for this AD, follow the procedures in 14 CFR 

39.19. Before using any approved AMOC on 

any airplane to which the AMOC applies, 

notify your principal maintenance inspector 

(PMI) or principal avionics inspector (PAI), 

as appropriate, or lacking a principal 

inspector, your local Flight Standards District 

Office. The AMOC approval letter must 

specifically reference this AD.

ACTION: Final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting 

airworthiness directive (AD) 2010–14– 

19, which published in the Federal 

Register on July 13, 2010. That AD 

applies to certain Model A330–200 and

corrects that service bulletin number. In 

all other respects, the original document 

remains the same. 

DATES: This correction is effective 

August 5, 2010. The effective date of AD 

2010–14–19 remains August 17, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 

29, 2010, the FAA issued AD 2010–14– 

19, Amendment 39–16364 (75 FR 

39814, July 13, 2010), for certain Airbus 

Model A330–200 and –300 series 

airplanes, and Model A340–200, –300, 

–500 and –600 series airplanes. The AD 

requires replacing or modifying the 

Halon dual-filter assemblies of the flow 

metering fire extinguishing system in 

the forward and bulk cargo 

compartments, as applicable. 

As published, Note 3 of the AD 

specifies in error Airbus Service 

Bulletin A340–26–4038. The correct 

service bulletin is Airbus Service 

Bulletin A340–26–4030. 

No other part of the regulatory 

information has been changed; 

therefore, the final rule is not 

republished in the Federal Register. 

The effective date of this AD remains 

August 17, 2010.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Model 747 airplanes. This AD requires 

inspecting to verify the part number of 

the low-pressure flex-hoses of the crew 

oxygen system installed under the 

oxygen mask stowage boxes in the flight 

deck, and replacing the flex-hose with a 

new non-conductive low-pressure flexhose if necessary. This AD results from 

reports of low-pressure flex-hoses of the 

crew oxygen system that burned 

through due to inadvertent electrical 

current from a short circuit in the audio 

select panel. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent inadvertent electrical current, 

which can cause the low-pressure flexhoses of the crew oxygen system to melt 

or burn, causing oxygen system leakage 

and smoke or fire. 

DATES: This AD is effective September 9, 

2010. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of September 9, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an airworthiness 

directive (AD) that would apply to 

certain Model 747 airplanes. That 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on January 22, 2010 (75 FR 

3658). That NPRM proposed to require 

inspecting to verify the part number of 

the low-pressure flex-hoses of the crew 

oxygen system installed under the 

oxygen mask stowage boxes in the flight 

deck, and replacing the flex-hose with a 

new non-conductive low-pressure flexhose if necessary. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

considered the comments received. 

Support for the NPRM 

Boeing concurs with the contents of 

the NPRM, and the Air Line Pilots 

Association, International (ALPA) 

supports the intent of the NPRM. 

Request To Shorten Compliance Time 

ALPA requests that the 36-month 

compliance time specified in the NPRM 

be shortened given the potential 

consequence of an oxygen-fed fire in the 

vicinity of the flightcrew station. 

We do not agree. In developing an 

appropriate compliance time, we 

considered the safety implications, parts 

availability, and normal maintenance 

schedules for timely accomplishment of 

replacement of the fasteners. Further, 

we arrived at the compliance time with 

manufacturer concurrence. In 

consideration of all of these factors, we 

determined that the compliance time, as 

proposed, represents an appropriate 

interval in which the inspections can be 

done in a timely manner within the 

fleet, while still maintaining an 

adequate level of safety. Operators are 

always permitted to accomplish the 

requirements of an AD at a time earlier 

than the specified compliance time; 

therefore, an operator may choose to do
