## 40485 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 132 / Tuesday, July 10, 2012 / Rules and Regulations

Note 1 to paragraph (j)(2) of this AD: For airplanes identified in paragraph (j)(2) of this AD, post-modification inspection guidance may be included in an approved alternative method of compliance (AMOC) for paragraph (j)(2) of this AD.

(k) Post-Modification Inspection of the Modified Areas

For airplanes identified in paragraph (j)(1) of this AD, within 20,000 flight cycles after doing the modification required by paragraph (j) of this AD: Do an inspection for cracks of the modified areas of the left- and right-side tension tie structure and frame structure, in accordance with a method approved in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (n) of this AD. If any crack is found during any inspection required by this paragraph, before further flight, repair the crack using a method approved in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (n) of this AD.

(l) Post-Modification Repetitive Inspections of the Unmodified Areas

(1) For airplanes identified in paragraph (j)(1) of this AD, within 6,000 flight cycles after doing the modification required by paragraph (j) of this AD: Do a detailed inspection for cracks on the unmodified areas of the left- and right-side tension tie structure and frame structure, at certain stations, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747–53A2605, Revision 1, dated May 27, 2010. If any crack is found during any inspection required by this paragraph, before further flight, repair the crack using a method approved in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (n) of this AD. Repeat the inspection of the unmodified areas thereafter at intervals not to exceed 6,000 flight cycles.

(2) Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747– 53A2605, Revision 1, dated May 27, 2010, refers to Section 51–10–02 of the Boeing 747– 400F Structural Repair Manual (SRM) and Section 51–10–01 of the Boeing 747–100/ 200/300 SRM as additional sources of guidance for removing small cracks and fatigue damage material from the existing holes in the unmodified center section of the tension tie channels. Where those SRM sections state that ‘‘zero-timing must only be used where specifically permitted in an SRM chapter-section-repair,’’ this AD allows the zero-timing procedures specified in those
SRM sections.

(m) Credit for Previous Actions

This paragraph provides credit for the actions required by paragraphs (j), (k), and (l)(1) of this AD, if those actions were performed before the effective date of this AD using Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747– 53A2605, dated October 8, 2009.

**SUMMARY** 

### : We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Model A300 series airplanes; all Model A300 B4–600, B4–600R, and F4– 600R series airplanes, and Model 300 C4–605R Variant F airplanes (collectively called A300–600 series airplanes). This AD was prompted by reports of an inoperative fire shut-off valve (FSOV) as a result of damage due to over-length of the bonding lead. This AD requires a one-time detailed inspection for length of the FSOV bonding leads and for contact or chafing of the wires, and corrective actions, if necessary. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct contact or chafing of wires and bonding leads which, if not detected could be a source of sparks in the wing trailing edge, and could lead to an uncontrolled engine fire.

**DATES** 

### : This AD becomes effective August 14, 2012.

The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of August 14, 2012.

Discussion

We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products. That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on February 6, 2012 (77 FR 5728). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI states:

During a scheduled maintenance check, one operator reported inoperative FSOV [fire shut-off valve]. Investigations showed damage at wire located between engine 2 Hydraulic FSOV and wing rear spar, in the zones 575/675, and at bonding lead, located between wing Rib 7A and Rib 8 below Hydraulic Pressure Lines.

Similar inspections on different aeroplanes have shown that one of the causes of damage, is the contact between bonding lead and the harness, due to over length of the bonding lead.

As the affected wire is not powered during normal operation, no defect had been detected. The defect was detected when a test was performed on the FSOV during maintenance check by the operator.

This condition, in the scope of published FAA SFAR88 and JAA Internal Policy INT/ POL/25/12, is considered to be a potential source of sparks in the wing trailing edge area and if not detected, could lead to an uncontrolled engine fire.

For the reasons stated above, this [EASA] AD requires a one-time [detailed] inspection of the wires [for contact or chafing] located between LH/RH engines Hydraulic FSOV and wing rear spar in the zones 575/675, and the bonding lead [for length] that is located between Rib 7A and Rib 8 below Hydraulic Pressure Lines, and corrective actions [repair wires or replace bonding leads] depending on findings.



### You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Comments

We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD. We have considered the comment received.
Request To Extend the Compliance
Time

UPS Airlines requested that we extend the compliance time from 30 to 40 months after the effective date of the AD. The commenter stated the extension is a better fit within the operator’s heavy maintenance program because the extended compliance time is more conducive to schedule-required aircraft ground time, labor, and parts acquisition. The commenter stated that the compliance time is too restrictive.

We do not agree with the commenter’s request to extend the compliance time. In developing the proposed compliance time, we determined that the compliance time of 4,500 flight hours or 30 months after the effective date of the AD, whichever occurs first, is appropriate when considering the safety implications, the average utilization rate of the affected fleet, the practical aspects of an orderly inspection of the fleet during heavy maintenance checks, and the availability of required replacement parts. In addition, our compliance time corresponds with the compliance time of the parallel AD issued by European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). We have not changed the AD in this regard.
Explanation of Change to AD

We have changed paragraph (i) of this AD to include a compliance time of ‘‘before further flight’’ for the wire repair. This compliance time was required by EASA AD 2011–0084, dated May 24, 2011, and was inadvertently omitted from the NPRM (77 FR 5728, February 6, 2012). Conclusion
We reviewed the available data, including the comment received, and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the 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 (77 FR 5728, February 6, 2012) for correcting the unsafe condition; and

• Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was already proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 5728, February 6, 2012).

We also determined that these changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of the AD.
Costs of Compliance

We estimate that this AD will affect 125 products of U.S. registry. We alsoestimate that it will take about 8 workhours per product to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to the U.S. operators to be $85,000, or $680 per product.

In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions would take about 1 work-hour and require parts costing $50, for a cost of $135 per product. We have no way of determining the number of products that may need these actions.
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 determined that this AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on


## 40487 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 132 / Tuesday, July 10, 2012 / Rules and Regulations

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 the 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.

We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.
Examining the AD Docket

You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http:// www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.

### :

The Rule

This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 changes the name of the airport associated with the Class D airspace and Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class D airspace, at Lakehurst, NJ. The airport name is changed from Lakehurst Naval Air Experimental Center Airport/Maxfield Field to Lakehurst Naval Support Activity/Maxfield Field (Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst) to be in concert with the FAAs aeronautical database. Accordingly, since this is an administrative change, and does not affect the boundaries, altitudes, or operating requirements of the airspace, notice and public procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.

The Class D airspace, and Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraph 5000 and 6004, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9V, dated August 9, 2011, and effective September 15, 2011, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them, operationally current, is non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative comments. It, therefore, (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) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

The FAA’s authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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.

This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A. Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority as it amends controlled airspace for the Lakehurst, NJ, Class D and E airspace

area. Lists of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
