Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 173 / Thursday, September 7, 2006 / Proposed Rules 52757 

In lieu of the requirements of 14 CFR 

25.1353(c)(1) through (c)(4), the 

following special conditions apply: 

Lithium-ion batteries on the Airbus 

Model 380–800 airplane must be 

designed and installed as follows: 

(1) Safe cell temperatures and 

pressures must be maintained during 

any foreseeable charging or discharging 

condition and during any failure of the 

charging or battery monitoring system 

not shown to be extremely remote. The 

lithium ion battery installation must 

preclude explosion in the event of those 

failures. 

(2) Design of the lithium ion batteries 

must preclude the occurrence of selfsustaining, uncontrolled increases in 

temperature or pressure. 

(3) No explosive or toxic gasses 

emitted by any lithium ion battery in 

normal operation or as the result of any 

failure of the battery charging system, 

monitoring system, or battery 

installation—not shown to be extremely 

remote—may accumulate in hazardous 

quantities within the airplane. 

(4) Installations of lithium ion 

batteries must meet the requirements of 

14 CFR 25.863(a) through (d). 

(5) No corrosive fluids or gasses that 

escape from any lithium ion battery may 

damage surrounding airplane structure 

or adjacent essential equipment. 

(6) Each lithium ion battery 

installation must have provisions to 

prevent any hazardous effect on 

structure or essential systems caused by 

the maximum amount of heat the 

battery can generate during a short 

circuit of the battery or of its individual 

cells. 

(7) Lithium ion battery installations 

must have a system to control the 

charging rate of the battery 

automatically, so as to prevent battery 

overheating or overcharging, and, 

(i) A battery temperature sensing and 

over-temperature warning system with a 

means for automatically disconnecting 

the battery from its charging source in 

the event of an over-temperature 

condition, or, 

(ii) A battery failure sensing and 

warning system with a means for 

automatically disconnecting the battery 

from its charging source in the event of 

battery failure. 

(8) Any lithium ion battery 

installation whose function is required 

for safe operation of the airplane must 

incorporate a monitoring and warning 

feature that will provide an indication 

to the appropriate flight crewmembers, 

whenever the state-of-charge of the 

batteries has fallen below levels 

considered acceptable for dispatch of 

the airplane. 

(9) The Instructions for Continued 

Airworthiness must contain 

maintenance requirements for 

measurements of battery capacity at 

appropriate intervals to ensure that 

batteries whose function is required for 

safe operation of the airplane will 

perform their intended function as long 

as the battery is installed in the 

airplane. The Instructions for Continued 

Airworthiness must also contain 

procedures for the maintenance of 

lithium ion batteries in spares storage to 

prevent the replacement of batteries 

whose function is required for safe 

operation of the airplane with batteries 

that have experienced degraded charge 

retention ability or other damage due to 

prolonged storage at a low state of 

charge. 

Note: These special conditions are not 

intended to replace 14 CFR 25.1353(c) in the 

certification basis of the Airbus A380–800 

airplane. The special conditions apply only 

to lithium ion batteries and their 

installations. The requirements of 14 CFR 

25.1353(c) remain in effect for batteries and 

battery installations of the Airbus A380–800 

airplane that do not utilize lithium ion 

batteries.

15 CFR Part 922 

Initiation of Review of the Management 

Plan/Regulations of the Flower Garden 

Banks National Marine Sanctuary; 

Intent To Prepare Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement and Management 

Plan; Scoping Meetings 

AGENCY: National Marine Sanctuary 

Program (NMSP), National Ocean 

Service (NOS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Department of Commerce (DOC). 

ACTION: Initiation of review of 

management plan/regulations; intent to 

prepare environmental impact 

statement; scoping meetings. 

SUMMARY: The Flower Garden Banks 

National Marine Sanctuary (FGBNMS or 

Sanctuary) was designated in January 

1992, and consists of three separate 

areas in the Northwestern Gulf of 

Mexico, known as East Flower Garden, 

West Flower Garden and Stetson Banks. 

The present management plan for the 

Sanctuary was completed at the time of 

designation. In accordance with Section 

304(e) of the National Marine 

Sanctuaries Act, as amended, (NMSA) 

(16 U.S.C. 1431 et seq.), the National 

Marine Sanctuary Program (NMSP) of 

the National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (NOAA) is initiating a 

review of the management plan, to 

evaluate substantive progress toward 

implementing the goals for the 

Sanctuary, and to make revisions to the 

plan and regulations as necessary to 

fulfill the purposes and policies of the 

NMSA. 

The proposed revised management 

plan will likely involve changes to 

existing policies and regulations of the 

Sanctuary, to address contemporary 

issues and challenges, and to better 

protect and manage the Sanctuary’s 

resources and qualities. The review 

process is composed of four major 

stages: Information collection and 

characterization; preparation and 

release of a draft management plan/ 

environmental impact statement, and 

any proposed amendments to the 

regulations; public review and 

comment; and preparation and release 

of a final management plan/ 

environmental impact statement, and 

any final amendments to the 

regulations. NOAA anticipates 

completion of the revised management 

plan and concomitant documents will 

require approximately eighteen to 

twenty-four months. 

NOAA will conduct public scoping 

meetings to gather information and 

other comments from individuals, 

organizations, and government agencies 

on the scope, types and significance of 

issues related to the Sanctuary’s 

management plan and regulations. The 

scoping meetings are scheduled for 

October 17, 19, and 24, 2006, as detailed 

below. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

received on or before November 10, 

2006. 

Scoping meetings will be held at: 

(1) October 17, 7–10 p.m., Webster, 

TX (Houston/Galveston area). 

(2) October 19, 7–10 p.m., Corpus 

Christi, TX. 

(3) October 24, 7–10 p.m., New 

Orleans, LA. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be 

sent to the Flower Garden Banks 

National Marine Sanctuary 

(Management Plan Review), 4700 

Avenue U, Building 216, Galveston, 

Texas 77551. Comments will be
