AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Model DC–10–10, DC–10–10F, DC–10– 

15, DC–10–30, DC–10–30F (KC–10A 

and KDC–10), DC–10–40, DC–10–40F, 

MD–10–10F, MD–10–30F, MD–11, and 

MD–11F airplanes. This AD requires a 

one-time installation of electrical 

bonding jumpers for the fill valve 

controllers of fuel tanks. This AD results 

from fuel system reviews conducted by 

the manufacturer. We are issuing this 

AD to prevent point-of-contact arcing or 

filament heating damage in the fuel 

tanks, which could result in fuel tank 

explosions and consequent loss of the 

airplane. 

DATES: This AD is effective June 8, 2010. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in the AD 

as of June 8, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an airworthiness 

directive (AD) that would apply to 

certain Model DC–10–10, DC–10–10F, 

DC–10–15, DC–10–30, DC–10–30F (KC– 

10A and KDC–10), DC–10–40, DC–10– 

40F, MD–10–10F, MD–10–30F, MD–11, 

and MD–11F airplanes. That NPRM was 

published in the Federal Register on 

February 8, 2010 (75 FR 6160). That 

NPRM proposed to require a one-time 

installation of electrical bonding 

jumpers for the fill valve controllers of 

the fuel tanks. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

considered the comment received. 

FedEx supports the NPRM. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data, 

considered the comment received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

as proposed. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD would affect 

267 airplanes of U.S. registry. The 

following table provides the estimated 

costs for U.S. operators to comply with 

this AD.

23572 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 85 / Tuesday, May 4, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 

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 

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. 

You can find our regulatory 

evaluation and the estimated costs of 

compliance in the AD Docket.
