Energy Conservation Program for

Consumer Products: Clothes Washer

Energy Conservation Standards

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and

Renewable Energy, Energy.

ACTION: Notice of extension of comment

period.

SUMMARY: On November 19, 1998 (63 FR

64344), the Department of Energy

published a Supplemental Advance

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to revise

energy conservation standards for

clothes washers under the Energy Policy

and Conservation Act. The notice

announced that February 2, 1999, would

be the closing date for receiving public

comments. At the December 15, 1998,

workshop on clothes washers, Amana

requested that the comment period be

extended for two months, to allow

additional time for understanding the

financial model and to give better

responses to concerns raised in the

notice. The Department is committed to

issuing the final rule on schedule. In

light of the fact that much of the

information discussed in the notice was

presented at the March 11, 1998,

Clothes Washer Workshop, the

Department agrees to a more limited

extension of the comment period.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before February 16, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Written comments are

welcome. Please submit 10 copies (no

faxes) to: Brenda Edwards-Jones, U.S.

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. 98–NM–318–AD]

RIN 2120–AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing

Model 737–100, –200, –300, –400, and

–500 Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking

(NPRM).

SUMMARY: This document proposes the

supersedure of an existing airworthiness

directive (AD), applicable to all Boeing

Model 737–100, –200, –300, –400, and

–500 series airplanes, that currently

requires removal of the fuel boost pump

wiring in the conduits of the wing and

center fuel tanks; an inspection to detect

damage of the wiring, and corrective

action, if necessary; and eventual

installation of Teflon sleeving over the

electrical cable. This action would

expand the inspection requirement to

include additional airplanes, add

repetitive inspections for all airplanes,

and reidentify the requirement to install

Teflon sleeving as a nonterminating

action. This proposal is prompted by the

FAA’s determination that Model 737–

100 through –500 series airplanes that

are not affected by the current AD must

also be protected against excessive wire

chafing of the fuel boost pump wiring

and that all affected airplanes must be

repetitively inspected. The actions

specified by the proposed AD are

intended to detect and correct chafing

and prevent electrical arcing between

the fuel boost pump wiring and the

surrounding conduit, which could

result in arc-through of the conduit, and

consequent fire or explosion of the fuel

tank.

DATES: Comments must be received by

February 25, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments in

triplicate to the Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), Transport

Airplane Directorate, ANM–114,
