SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

September 9, 2009, we issued AD 2009– 

19–06, which applies to certain Boeing 

Model 747–100, 747–100B, 747–100B 

SUD, 747–200B, 747–200F, 747–300, 

747–400, 747–400D, 747SP, and 747SR 

series airplanes. 

Background 

We have received a report indicating 

that the current design of the flight deck 

door is defective. This condition, if not 

corrected, could jeopardize flight safety. 

Relevant Service Information 

We reviewed Boeing Service Bulletin 

747–52–2293, dated September 4, 2009. 

The service bulletin describes 

procedures for installing certain 

equipment associated with the flight 

deck door. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This AD 

Since the unsafe condition described 

is likely to exist or develop on other 

airplanes of the same type design, we 

issued AD 2009–19–06 to prevent 

failure of the flight deck door, which 

could jeopardize flight safety. The AD 

requires accomplishing the actions 

specified in the service information 

previously described. 

We have determined that notice and 

opportunity for prior public comment 

on AD 2009–19–06 were contrary to the 

public interest, and good cause existed 

to make the AD effective immediately 

by individual notices issued on 

September 9, 2009, to the known U.S. 

owners and operators of certain Boeing 

Model 747–100, 747–100B, 747–100B 

SUD, 747–200B, 747–200F, 747–300, 

747–400, 747–400D, 747SP, and 747SR 

series airplanes. These conditions still 

exist, and the AD is hereby published in 

the Federal Register as an amendment 

to section 39.13 of the Federal Aviation 

Regulations (14 CFR 39.13) to make it 

effective to all persons. 

Comments Invited 

This AD is a final rule that involves 

requirements affecting flight safety, and 

we did not provide you with notice and 

an opportunity to provide your 

comments before it becomes effective. 

However, we invite you to send any 

written data, views, or arguments about 

this AD. Send your comments to an 

address listed under the ADDRESSES

section. Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA– 

2010–0950; Directorate Identifier 2009– 

NM–194–AD’’ at the beginning of your 

comments. We specifically invite 

comments on the overall regulatory, 

economic, environmental, and energy 

aspects of this AD. We will consider all 

comments received by the closing date 

and may amend this AD because of 

those comments. 

We will post all comments we 

receive, without change, to http:// 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information you provide. We 

will also post a report summarizing each 

substantive verbal contact we receive 

about 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 

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.

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier,

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above. This AD results 

from mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated by an aviation authority of 

another country to identify and correct 

an unsafe condition on an aviation 

product. The MCAI describes the unsafe 

condition as: 

The landing gear alternate extension 

system in the cockpit is accessible through an 

access panel located on the cockpit floor. 

There have been reports of failure of the 

access panel latch assembly as a consequence 

of repeated closure of the access panel 

involving the use of excessive force. Failure 

of the latch assembly can result in the access 

panel being jammed in the closed position, 

and require mechanical prying to open. 

An undetected or uncorrected latch failure 

condition in the access panel can prevent 

immediate access to the landing gear 

alternate extension system by the flight crew 

during an emergency. * * * 

We are issuing this AD to require 

actions to correct the unsafe condition 

on these products. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

November 12, 2010. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of November 12, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

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 July 1, 2010 (75 FR 38064). 

That NPRM proposed to correct an 

unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

The landing gear alternate extension 

system in the cockpit is accessible through an 

access panel located on the cockpit floor. 

There have been reports of failure of the 

access panel latch assembly as a consequence 

of repeated closure of the access panel 

involving the use of excessive force. Failure 

of the latch assembly can result in the access 

panel being jammed in the closed position, 

and require mechanical prying to open. 

An undetected or uncorrected latch failure 

condition in the access panel can prevent 

immediate access to the landing gear 

alternate extension system by the flight crew 

during an emergency. This Directive requires 

the replacement of the existing latch 

assembly with a stronger modified latch 

assembly. 

You may obtain further information by 

examining the MCAI in the AD docket. 

Relevant Service Information 

Bombardier, Inc. issued Service 

Bulletin 8–32–166, Revision B, dated 

March 2, 2010. We cited Bombardier 

Service Bulletin 8–32–166, Revision A, 

dated January 29, 2009, in the NPRM. 

Bombardier Service Bulletin 8–32–166, 

Revision B, dated March 2, 2010, 

updates the References section and adds 

a Note to the Accomplishment 

Instructions section. We have changed 

paragraph (g) of this AD to specify 

Revision B of that service bulletin, and 

added Bombardier Service Bulletin 8– 

32–166, Revision A, dated January 29, 

2009, to paragraph (h) of this AD. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

considered the comments received. Air 

Line Pilots Association, International, 

supports the NPRM. Hawaii Island Air, 

Piedmont Airlines, and Mesa Airlines 

request that we revise the NPRM to refer 

to Bombardier Service Bulletin 8–32– 

166, Revision B, dated March 2, 2010, 

as described previously.
