Showerheads; Request for Comments 

AGENCY: Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of availability and 

request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE) or (the Department) is 

providing notice of an interpretive rule 

that sets out the Department’s views on 

the definition of ‘‘showerhead’’ in the 

DOE’s regulations related to the energy 

conservation program for consumer 

products. The draft interpretive rule 

represents the Department’s 

interpretation of its existing regulations 

and is exempt from the notice and 

comment requirements of the 

Administrative Procedure Act. See 5 

U.S.C. 553(b)(A). Nevertheless, given 

that the Department has not previously 

expressed its views on this definition, 

we are interested in receiving feedback 

from the public on the interpretation. At 

the end of the comment period, this 

draft interpretive rule may be adopted, 

revised or withdrawn. 

DATES: Comments regarding this draft 

interpretive rule must be received on or 

before June 18, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be 

submitted to DOE using the following 

method: 

• E-mail: Showerhead_Guidance_

Comments@hq.doe.gov. Include the 

docket number in the subject line of the 

message. Comments and suggestions 

should be provided in WordPerfect, 

Microsoft Word, PDF, or text file format.

Federal Aviation Administration 

14 CFR Part 25 

[Docket No. NM420; Special Conditions No. 

25–406–SC] 

Special Conditions: Dassault Aviation 

Falcon Model 2000EX; Autobraking 

System 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final special conditions. 

SUMMARY: These special conditions are 

issued for the Dassault Aviation Falcon 

Model 2000EX airplane. This airplane 

will have a novel or unusual design 

feature(s) associated with the 

autobraking system for use during 

landing. The applicable airworthiness 

regulations do not contain adequate or 

appropriate safety standards for this 

design feature. These special conditions 

contain the additional safety standards 

that the Administrator considers 

necessary to establish a level of safety 

equivalent to that established by the 

existing airworthiness standards. 

DATES: Effective Date: June 18, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 1, 2008, Dassault Aviation 

applied for a change to Type Certificate 

(TC) No. A50NM to install an automatic 

braking system on the Falcon Model 

2000EX airplane. This is a pilotselectable function that allows earlier 

maximum braking at landing without 

pilot pedal input. When the autobrake 

system is armed before landing, it 

automatically commands maximum 

braking at main wheels touchdown. 

Normal procedures remain unchanged 

and call for manual braking after nose 

wheel touchdown. 

The current Federal Aviation 

Regulations do not contain adequate 

requirements to address the potentially 

higher structural loads that could result 

from this type of automatic braking 

system. Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR) 25.471 through 

25.511 address ground handling loads, 

but do not contain a specific ‘‘pitchover’’ 

requirement addressing the loading on 

the nose gear, the nose gear surrounding 

structure, and the forward fuselage. The 

Dassault autobraking system, which 

applies maximum braking at the main 

wheels before the nose gear touches 

down, will cause a high nose gear sink 

rate, and potentially higher gear and 

airframe loads. Therefore, the FAA has 

determined that a special condition is 

needed. The special condition requires 

that the airplane be designed to 

withstand the loads resulting from 

maximum braking, taking into account 

the effects of the automatic braking 

system. 

Type Certification Basis 

Under the provisions of 14 CFR 

21.101, Dassault Aviation must show 

that the Falcon Model 2000EX, as 

changed, continues to meet the 

applicable provisions of the regulations 

incorporated by reference in TC No. 

A50NM or the applicable regulations in 

effect on the date of application for the 

change. The regulations incorporated by 

reference in the type certificate are 

commonly referred to as the ‘‘original 

type certification basis.’’ The regulations 

incorporated by reference in TC No. 

A50NM are as follows: Part 25 of 14 

CFR as amended by Amendments 25–1 

through 25–69. In addition, Dassault 

Aviation has elected to comply with the 

following amendments: 

• Amendment 25–71 for § 25.365(e).
