Airworthiness Directives; Meggitt 

(Troy), Inc. Combustion Heaters 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 81–09–09, 

which applies to certain Meggitt (Troy), 

Inc. (previously known as Stewart 

Warner South Wind Corporation and as 

Stewart Warner South Wind Division) 

Model Series 8240 (Models 8240–A, 

8240–C, 8240E, and 8248), 8253 

(Models 8253–A, 8253–B, and 8253–C), 

8259 (Models 8259–A, 8259–C, 8259– 

DL, 8259HL2, 8259HR2, 8259JR2, 

8259L, and 8259M), and 8472 (Models 

8472C and 8472D) combustion heaters. 

AD 81–09–09 currently requires 

repetitive inspections of the combustion 

heater; repetitive general inspections of 

the combustion heater installation; and, 

for combustion heaters having 1,000 

hours or more time-in-service (TIS), 

overhaul of the combustion heater. 

Since we issued AD 81–09–09, there 

was an airplane accident, and we 

received reports of the heater 

malfunction. This proposed AD would 

retain most actions from AD 81–09–09, 

add a calendar time to the repetitive 

inspections, and add more detailed 

actions for the general inspection. We 

are proposing this AD to correct the 

unsafe condition on these products. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by October 6, 2014.

Discussion 

On April 16, 1981, we issued AD 81– 

09–09, Amendment 39–4102 (46 FR 

24936, May 4, 1981) (‘‘AD 81–09–09’’), 

for certain Meggitt (Troy), Inc. 

(previously known as Stewart Warner 

South Wind Corporation and as Stewart 

Warner South Wind Division) Model 

Series 8240 (Models 8240–A, 8240–C, 

8240E, and 8248), 8253 (Models 8253– 

A, 8253–B, and 8253–C), 8259 (Models 

8259–A, 8259–C, 8259–DL, 8259HL2, 

8259HR2, 8259JR2, 8259L, and 8259M), 

and 8472 (Models 8472C and 8472D) 

combustion heaters marked as meeting 

the standards of FAA TSO–C20. AD 81– 

09–09 requires repetitive inspection of 

the combustion heater and inspection of 

the installation of the combustion 

heater. AD 81–09–09 resulted from a 

hazardous condition caused by 

deterioration of the combustion heater. 

We issued AD 81–09–09 to detect and 

correct a hazardous condition caused by 

deterioration of the combustion heater, 

which could lead to ignition of 

components and result in smoke and 

fumes in the cabin. 

Actions Since AD 81–09–09 Was Issued 

Since we issued AD 81–09–09, 

Amendment 39–4102 (46 FR 24936, 

May 4, 1981), we received a report of an 

airplane accident that resulted in four 

fatalities and one serious injury. Only 

the survivor of the accident provided a 

written statement of the accident. She 

reported that when the pilot turned on 

the heater, a ‘‘terrible smell’’ was 

detected. The pilot told the passengers 

that the smell was normal for some 

heaters. When the pilot turned the 

heater off, dark, black smoke began to 

enter the airplane, which made it 

difficult to see. In a flight prior to the 

accident flight, the heater’s overheat 

light illuminated when the heater was 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
49250 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 161 / Wednesday, August 20, 2014 / Proposed Rules 

turned on. The airplane maintenance 

records indicated a previous problem 

with the heater. 

Regardless of whether the heater 

played a part in the above-referenced 

accident, this condition of deteriorated 

ignition components and smoke and 

fumes in the cabin could lead to 

passenger injury on other airplanes 

incorporating such heaters if not 

inspected and corrected. 

Since the accident, Meggitt, Inc. 

issued new service information for 

doing a pressure decay test (PDT). It was 

also identified that the repetitive 

inspections for the combustion heater 

required only time-in-service 

inspections and did not include a 

calendar time compliance. 

Relevant Service Information 

We reviewed:

8253–B), revised: April 1965; 

• South Wind Division StewartWarner Corporation Service Manual 

South Wind Aircraft Heater 8472 Series, 

Form No. 09–1015, issued: April 1975; 

and 

• Meggitt Inspection Procedure, 

Pressure Decay Test, Aircraft Heaters, 

dated May 17, 2014. 

The service information describes 

procedures for inspection of the 

combustion heater, inspection of the 

installation of the combustion heater, 

and the pressure decay test for aircraft 

heaters. 

FAA’s Determination 

We are proposing this AD because we 

evaluated all the relevant information 

and determined the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop in other products of the same 

type design. 

Proposed AD Requirements 

This proposed AD would retain 

certain requirements of AD 81–09–09. 

This proposed AD would continue 

requiring the inspection of the 

combustion heater; however, the repair 

of the combustion tube would be 

prohibited. This proposed AD would 

also require a repetitive combustion 

heater pressure decay test and a more 

detailed inspection of the combustion 

heater and components. 

Change to AD 81–09–09 

Since AD 81–09–09 was issued, the 

AD format has been revised, and certain 

paragraphs have been rearranged. As a 

result, the corresponding paragraph 

identifiers have been redesignated in 

this proposed AD, as listed in the 

following table: 

REVISED PARAGRAPH IDENTIFIERS

Requirement in 

AD 81–09–09 

Corresponding 

requirement in 

this proposed 

AD 

Paragraph (a) .................... Paragraph (g). 

Paragraph (b) .................... Paragraph (j). 

Differences Between This Proposed AD 

and the Service Information 

The proposed AD would prohibit 

repair of any defective combustion tube 

while the service information does not 

specify this. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 6,000 combustion heaters 

installed on, but not limited to, Piper 

Aircraft, Inc. and Cessna Aircraft 

Company airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this proposed AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on 

U.S. 

operators 

Perform pressure decay test .................... 2 work-hours × $85 per hour = $170 ....... Not Applicable .................... $170 $1,020,000 

Inspection of thermostat switch and 

upper limit switch.

1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 .......... Not Applicable .................... 85 510,000 

Inspection of solenoid valve and fuel 

pump.

2 work-hours × $85 per hour = $170 ....... Not Applicable .................... 170 1,020,000 

We estimate the following costs to do 

any necessary combustion heater 

overhaul/disable/related replacement 

that would be required based on the 

results of the proposed inspection/test. 

We have no way of determining the 

number of aircraft that might need a 

combustion heater overhaul/disable/ 

related replacement: 

ON-CONDITION COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Overhaul heater with South Wind parts ........................... 8 work-hours × $85 per hour = $680 ............................... $4,220 $4,900 

Replace temperature switches ......................................... 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ................................... 320 405 

Repair pump ..................................................................... 2 work-hours × $85 per hour = $170 ............................... 470 640 

Disable heater ................................................................... 2 work-hours × $85 per hour = $170 ............................... (1) 170 

Remove heater ................................................................. 3 work-hours × $85 per hour = $255 ............................... (1) 255 

1 Not applicable. 

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 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 161 / Wednesday, August 20, 2014 / Proposed Rules 49251 

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 

proposed AD would not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This proposed AD would 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 the proposed regulation: 

(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.

40 CFR Part 261 

[EPA–R07–RCRA–2014–0452; FRL–9915– 

45–Region 7] 

Hazardous Waste Management 

System; Identification and Listing of 

Hazardous Waste; Proposed Exclusion 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule and request for 

comment. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA, also, ‘‘the Agency’’ or 

‘‘we’’) is proposing to grant a petition 

submitted by the John Deere Des Moines 

Works (John Deere) of Deere & 

Company, in Ankeny, Iowa to exclude 

or ‘‘delist’’ up to 600 tons per calendar 

year of F006/F019 wastewater treatment 

sludge filter cake generated by John 

Deere’s wastewater treatment system 

from the list of hazardous wastes. 

The Agency has tentatively decided to 

grant the petition based on an 

evaluation of waste-specific information 

provided by John Deere. This proposed 

decision, if finalized, would 

conditionally exclude the petitioned 

waste from the requirements of 

hazardous waste regulations under the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act (RCRA). 

This exclusion would be valid only 

when the wastewater treatment sludge 

filter cake is disposed of in a Subtitle D 

landfill which is permitted, licensed, or 

otherwise authorized by a State to 

manage industrial solid waste. 

If finalized, EPA would conclude that 

John Deere’s petitioned waste is 

nonhazardous with respect to the 

original listing criteria and that there are 

no other current factors which would 

cause the waste to be hazardous. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before September 19, 2014. EPA will 

stamp comments received after the close 

of the comment period as late. These 

late comments may not be considered in 

formulating a final decision. Any person 

may request a hearing on the proposed 

decision by filing a request to EPA by 

September 4, 2014. The request must 

contain the information prescribed in 40 

CFR 260.20(d).
