AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

EADS CASA (Type Certificate 

Previously Held by Construcciones 

Aerona ́uticas, S.A.) Model C–212–CB, 

C–212–CC, C–212–CD, C–212–CE, and 

C–212–DF airplanes. This proposed AD 

was prompted by a report of the 

propeller pitch control (PPC) lever 

becoming disconnected from the engine 

due to a missing bolt. This proposed AD 

would require modifying the PPC lever 

attachment system. We are proposing 

this AD to prevent PPC shaft 

disconnection, which could lead to a 

loss of propeller pitch control, possibly 

resulting in uncommanded change to 

the engine power settings and 

consequent reduced controllability of 

the airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by September 27, 

2013. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by 

any of the following methods:

Discussion 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the aviation authority 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued EASA 

Airworthiness Directive 2012–0251, 

dated November 27, 2012 (referred to 

after this as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for the specified products. The MCAI 

states: 

An occurrence was reported where the 

propeller pitch control (PPC) lever 

disconnected from the engine (a TPE331– 

10R–511C) on a C–212–CC aeroplane. 

The result of the subsequent investigation 

revealed that the PPC lever disconnection 

occurred due to a missing bolt, which fixes 

the clamp that joins the PPC lever to the PPC 

rod. 

This condition, if not corrected, could lead 

to a loss of an affected propeller pitch 

control, possibly resulting in uncommanded 

change to the engine power settings and 

consequent reduced control of the aeroplane. 

To address this potential unsafe condition, 

EADS–CASA developed a modification (mod 

10515) that eliminates the possibility of PPC 

shaft disconnection and made this available 

through Service Bulletin SB–212–76–0009 to 

be applied in service. 

For the reasons described above, this 

[EASA] AD requires modification of PPC 

lever attachment system. 

You may obtain further information by 

examining the MCAI in the AD docket. 

Relevant Service Information 

EADS CASA has issued Service 

Bulletin SB–212–76–0009, Revision 1, 

dated August 03, 2012. EADS CASA 

Bulletin SB–212–76–0009, Revision 1, 

dated August 03, 2012, refers to 

Honeywell Service Bulletin TPE331– 

72–2190, dated December 21, 2011, as 

an additional source of guidance for 

modifying the PPC lever attachment 

system. The actions described in this 

service information are intended to 

correct the unsafe condition identified 

in the MCAI. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This Proposed AD 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country, and is approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to our 

bilateral agreement with the State of 

Design Authority, we have been notified 

of the unsafe condition described in the 

MCAI and service information 

referenced above. We are proposing this 

AD because we evaluated all pertinent 

information and determined an unsafe 

condition exists and is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 42 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 

Modification ............................. 20 work-hours × $85 per hour = $1,700 ................................ $1,018 $2,718 $114,156 

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 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 this 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. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this proposed AD and placed it in the 

AD docket.

Airworthiness Directives; the Boeing 

Company Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

The Boeing Company Model 707 

airplanes; and Model 720 and 720B 

series airplanes. This proposed AD was 

prompted by reports indicating that a 

standard access door was located where 

an impact-resistant access door was 

required, and stencils were missing 

from some impact-resistant access 

doors. This proposed AD would require 

an inspection of the left- and right-hand 

wing fuel tank access doors to 

determine that impact-resistant access 

doors are installed in the correct 

locations, and to replace any door with 

an impact-resistant access door if 

necessary. This proposed AD also 

would require an inspection for stencils 

and index markers on impact-resistant 

access doors, and application of new 

stencils or index markers if necessary. 

This proposed AD would also require 

revising the maintenance program to 

incorporate changes to the airworthiness 

limitations section. We are proposing 

this AD to prevent foreign object 

penetration of the fuel tank, which 

could cause a fuel leak near an ignition 

source (e.g., hot brakes or engine 

exhaust nozzle), consequently leading to 

a fuel-fed fire. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by September 27, 

2013. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following
