Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 26 / Wednesday, February 8, 2006 / Rules and Regulations 6343 

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 have 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 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. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this AD and placed it in the AD docket. 

See the ADDRESSES section for a location 

to examine the regulatory evaluation.

safety, 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 Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) amends § 39.13 

by adding the following new 

airworthiness directive (AD): 

2006–03–16 Hamburger Flugzeugbau 

GmbH: Amendment 39–14480. Docket 

No. FAA–2005–22401; Directorate 

Identifier 2004–NM–93–AD. 

Effective Date 

(a) This AD becomes effective March 15, 

2006. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to all Hamburger 

Flugzeugbau GmbH Model HFB 320 HANSA 

airplanes, certificated in any category. 

Unsafe Condition 

(d) This AD results from a report that all 

airplanes in operation might have met or 

exceeded the designed life limit for the 

primary structure. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent continued operation of an airplane 

beyond its designed life limit for the primary 

structure, which could result in reduced 

structural integrity of the airplane. 

Compliance 

(e) You are responsible for having the 

actions required by this AD performed within 

the compliance times specified, unless the 

actions have already been done. 

Airworthiness Limitations Revision 

(f) Within 30 days after the effective date 

of this AD: Revise the Limitations section of 

the HFB 320 Hansa Airplane Flight Manual 

(AFM) to state the following (or insert a copy 

of this AD into the Limitations section): 

‘‘Do not operate the airplane beyond 15,000 

total flight cycles, or 15,000 total flight hours, 

whichever occurs first.’’

(g) This limitation may be removed from 

the HFB 320 Hansa AFM after the Manager, 

International Branch, ANM–116, FAA, 

approves analysis that would substantiate 

continued safe operation beyond the 

designed life limit of 15,000 total flight 

cycles, or within 15,000 total flight hours on 

the airplane, whichever occurs first. 

Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(h)(1) The Manager, International Branch, 

ANM–116, has the authority to approve 

AMOCs for this AD, if requested in 

accordance with the procedures found in 14 

CFR 39.19. 

(2) Before using any AMOC approved in 

accordance with § 39.19 on any airplane to 

which the AMOC applies, notify the 

appropriate principal inspector in the FAA 

Flight Standards Certificate Holding District 

Office. 

Related Information 

(i) German airworthiness directive 2002–

158, effective October 3, 2002, also addresses 

the subject of this AD.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Fokker Model F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 

airplanes. This AD requires modifying 

the passenger door and installing new 

placards. This AD results from reports 

of the airstairs-type passenger door 

opening during flight. We are issuing 

this AD to prevent rapid decompression 

of the airplane, or ejection of a 

passenger or crew member out the door 

during flight. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

March 15, 2006. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of March 15, 2006.

Discussion 

The FAA issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that would 

apply to certain Fokker Model F.28 

Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes. That 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on October 21, 2005 (70 FR 

61239). That NPRM proposed to require 

modifying the passenger door and 

installing new placards. 

Comments 

We provided the public the 

opportunity to participate in the 

development of this AD. We received no 

comments on the NPRM or on the 

determination of the cost to the public. 

Conclusion 

We have carefully reviewed the 

available data and determined that air 

safety and the public interest require 

adopting the AD as proposed. 

Costs of Compliance 

The following table provides the 

estimated costs for U.S. operators to 

comply with this AD.

Amendments 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This amendment establishes, 

amends, suspends, or revokes Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures 

(SIAPs) and/or Weather Takeoff 

Minimums for operations at certain 

airports. These regulatory actions are 

needed because of the adoption of new 

or revised criteria, or because of changes 

occurring in the National Airspace 

System, such as the commissioning of 

new navigational facilities, addition of 

new obstacles, or changes in air traffic 

requirements. These changes are 

designed to provide safe and efficient 

use of the navigable airspace and to 

promote safe flight operations under 

instrument flight rules at the affected 

airports.
