AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are superseding 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2012–12– 

08 for certain The Boeing Company 

Model 777–200 and –300 series 

airplanes. AD 2012–12–08 required an 

inspection for the part number of the 

main landing gear retract actuator fuse 

pin, and replacement of the pin if 

necessary. This new AD retains the 

actions required by AD 2012–12–08 and 

adds airplanes to the applicability. This 

AD was prompted by a determination 

that additional airplanes may be subject 

to the identified unsafe condition. We 

are issuing this AD to prevent structural 

damage to the side and drag brace lock 

assemblies, which could result in 

landing gear collapse during 

touchdown, rollout, or taxi. 

DATES: This AD is effective April 14, 

2014. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of April 14, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to supersede AD 2012–12–08, 

Amendment 39–17088 (77 FR 37781, 

June 25, 2012). (A correction of AD 

2012–12–08 was published in the 

Federal Register on July 20, 2012 (77 FR 

42625)). AD 2012–12–08 applied to 

certain The Boeing Company Model 

777–200 and –300 series airplanes. The 

NPRM published in the Federal 

Register on September 19, 2013 (78 FR 

57542). The NPRM was prompted by a 

determination that additional airplanes 

may be subject to the identified unsafe 

condition. The NPRM also proposed to 

continue to require the actions required 

by AD 2012–12–08. The NPRM also 

proposed to add airplanes to the 

applicability; and to require an 

inspection for the part number of the 

main landing gear retract actuator fuse 

pin, and replacement of the pin if 

necessary. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent structural damage to the side 

and drag brace lock assemblies, which 

could result in landing gear collapse 

during touchdown, rollout, or taxi. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. The 

following presents the comments 

received on the proposal (78 FR 57542, 

September 19, 2013) and the FAA’s 

response to each comment. 

Request for Clarification of Compliance 

Time 

Boeing requested that we revise the 

last sentence of paragraph (g) of the 

NPRM (78 FR 57542, September 19, 

2013) to add the phrase, ‘‘Except as 

required by paragraph (h) of this AD,’’ 

at the beginning of the sentence. Boeing 

reasoned that it is unclear if the 

replacement referred to in the last 

sentence should be done within the 

specified compliance time after the 

release date of Boeing Special Attention 

Service Bulletin 777–32–0083, Revision 

2, dated May 2, 2013, or within the 

specified compliance time after the 

effective date of this AD. 

We agree to revise this final rule for 

the reasons stated by Boeing. We have 

revised paragraph (g) of this final rule 

accordingly. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data, 

considered the comment received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

with the change described previously 

and minor editorial changes. We have 

determined that these minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 

57542, September 19, 2013) for 

correcting the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 57542, 

September 19, 2013). 

We also determined that these 

changes will not increase the economic 

burden on any operator or increase the 

scope of this AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 129 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this AD:

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), 

(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska, and 

(4) 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.

[Docket No. CPSC–2013–0019] 

Safety Standard for Carriages and 

Strollers 

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Danny Keysar Child 

Product Safety Notification Act, section 

104 of the Consumer Product Safety 

Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), 

requires the United States Consumer 

Product Safety Commission 

(Commission or CPSC) to promulgate 

consumer product safety standards for 

durable infant or toddler products. 

These standards are to be ‘‘substantially 

the same as’’ applicable voluntary 

standards or more stringent than the 

voluntary standards if the Commission 

concludes that more stringent 

requirements would further reduce the 

risk of injury associated with the 

products. The Commission is issuing a 

safety standard for carriages and 

strollers in response to the direction 

under Section 104(b) of the CPSIA. 

DATES: The rule is effective on 

September 10, 2015. The incorporation 

by reference of the publication listed in 

this rule is approved by the Director of 

the Federal Register as of September 10, 

2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background and Statutory Authority 

The Consumer Product Safety 

Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA, Pub. 

L. 110–314) was enacted on August 14, 

2008. Section 104(b) of the CPSIA, part 

of the Danny Keysar Child Product 

Safety Notification Act, requires the 

Commission to: (1) Examine and assess 

the effectiveness of voluntary consumer 

product safety standards for durable 

infant or toddler products, in 

consultation with representatives of 

consumer groups, juvenile product 

manufacturers, and independent child 

product engineers and experts; and (2) 

promulgate consumer product safety 

standards for durable infant and toddler 

products. These standards are to be 

‘‘substantially the same as’’ applicable 

voluntary standards or more stringent 

than the voluntary standards if the 

Commission concludes that more 

stringent requirements would further 

reduce the risk of injury associated with 

the products. 

On May 20, 2013, the Commission 

issued a notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPR) for carriages and strollers. 78 FR 

29279. The NPR proposed to 

incorporate by reference the voluntary 

standard, ASTM 833–13, ‘‘Standard 

Consumer Safety Performance 

Specification for Carriages and 

Strollers,’’ with certain changes to 

provisions in the voluntary standard to 

strengthen the ASTM standard. 

In this document, the Commission is 

issuing a safety standard for carriages 

and strollers. As required by Section 

104(b)(1)(A), the Commission consulted 

with manufacturers, retailers, trade 

organizations, laboratories, consumer 

advocacy groups, consultants, and 

members of the public in the 

development of this proposed standard, 

largely through the ASTM process. The 

rule incorporates by reference the most 

recent voluntary standard developed by 

ASTM International (formerly the 

American Society for Testing and 

Materials), ASTM F833–13b, ‘‘Standard 

Consumer Safety Performance 

Specification for Carriages and 

Strollers’’ (ASTM F833–13b), with a 


pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES
