68246 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 214 / Friday, November 5, 2010 / Proposed Rules 

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.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to 

supersede an existing airworthiness 

directive (AD) that applies to all 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. The existing AD currently 

requires an inspection to determine if a 

certain fuel pump housing electrical 

connector is installed. The existing AD 

also requires a revision to the FAAapproved airplane flight manual (AFM) 

to advise the flightcrew of the 

appropriate procedures for disabling 

certain fuel pump electrical circuits 

following failure of a fuel pump housing 

electrical connector if applicable. The 

existing AD also requires the 

deactivation of certain fuel tanks or fuel 

pumps and the installation of placards 

if applicable. The existing AD allows 

the optional replacement of the fuel 

pump housing electrical connectors 

with new, improved parts, which would 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with PROPOSALS

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 214 / Friday, November 5, 2010 / Proposed Rules 68247 

terminate the AFM revisions, 

deactivation of certain fuel tanks and 

fuel pumps, and placard installation. 

This proposed AD would instead 

require replacing the fuel pump housing 

electrical connector assembly with a 

new part and doing repetitive 

inspections for continuity, resistance, 

and insulation resistance, and doing 

corrective actions if necessary. This 

proposed AD results from reports of 

failures of a certain fuel pump housing 

electrical connector. We are proposing 

this AD to detect and correct insulation 

resistance degradation and arcing in the 

potted backside of the electrical 

connector assembly of the fuel boost/ 

transfer pump housing, which could 

compromise its performance and cause 

an ignition source in the fuel tank, 

resulting in a fuel tank explosion and 

consequent loss of the airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by December 20, 

2010.

about this proposed AD. 

Discussion 

On July 13, 2007, we issued AD 2007– 

15–05, Amendment 39–15134 (72 FR 

40216, July 24, 2007), for all 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 AD requires an 

inspection to determine if a certain fuel 

pump housing electrical connector is 

installed, and a revision to the FAAapproved airplane flight manual (AFM) 

to advise the flightcrew of the 

appropriate procedures for disabling 

certain fuel pump electrical circuits 

following failure of a fuel pump housing 

electrical connector if applicable. That 

AD also requires the deactivation of 

certain fuel tanks or fuel pumps and the 

installation of placards if applicable. 

That AD allows the optional 

replacement of the fuel pump housing 

electrical connectors with new, 

improved parts, which would terminate 

the AFM revisions, deactivation of 

certain fuel tanks and fuel pumps, and 

placard installation. That AD resulted 

from a report of two failures of the fuel 

pump housing electrical connector. We 

issued that AD to prevent continued 

arcing following a short circuit of the 

fuel pump housing electrical connector, 

which could damage the conduit that 

protects the power lead inside the fuel 

tank; this condition could create an 

ignition source inside the fuel tank, 

which, in combination with flammable 

fuel vapors, could result in a fuel tank 

explosion and consequent loss of the 

airplane. 

Actions Since Existing AD Was Issued 

Since we issued AD 2007–15–05, 

operators have reported failures of fuel 

pump housing electrical connector 

assemblies having part number (P/N) 

60–84355–1. The installation of P/N 60– 

84355–1 was required in AD 2007–15– 

05, but due to reported failures of that 

part, it needs to be replaced with a new 

fuel pump housing electrical connector 

assembly having part number (P/N) 60– 

84351. Inspecting the fuel boost/transfer 

pump housing electrical connector 

assembly and fuel boost/transfer pump, 

and replacing any fuel pump electrical 

connector assembly having 

P/N 60–84355–1 with one having P/N 

60–84351, as required based on 

inspection results, will minimize the 

possibility of a potential ignition source 

in the fuel tanks and potential fuel tank 

explosion. If not corrected, insulation 

resistance degradation and arcing in the 

potted backside of the electrical 

connector assembly of the fuel boost/ 

transfer pump housing could 

compromise the performance of the 

electrical connector assembly of the fuel 

boost/transfer pump housing and result 

in a failure that could introduce an 

ignition source into the fuel tank and 

cause a fuel tank explosion. The 

requirements of AD 2007–15–05 do not 

adequately address the identified unsafe 

condition. 

Relevant Service Information 

We have reviewed Boeing Alert 

Service Bulletin MD11–28A143, dated 

December 2, 2009; and Boeing Alert 

Service Bulletin DC10–28A261, dated 

December 1, 2009. The service bulletins 

describe procedures for replacing the 

fuel pump housing electrical connector 

assembly having P/N 60–84355–1 with 

new or serviceable fuel pump housing 

electrical connector assembly having P/ 

N 60–84351; and doing repetitive 

inspections for continuity, resistance, 

and insulation resistance; and doing 

corrective actions if necessary. 

Corrective actions include replacing the 

fuel boost/transfer pump and replacing 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with PROPOSALS

any fuel pump electrical connector 

assembly having P/N 60–84355–1 with 

one having P/N 60–84351. 

Explanation of Change to This Proposed 

AD 

We have removed the ‘‘Service 

Bulletin Reference’’ paragraph from this 

proposed AD. That paragraph was 

identified as paragraph (f) in the 

existing AD. Instead, we have provided 

the full service bulletin citations 

throughout this proposed AD. We have 

re-identified the paragraphs 

accordingly. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of the Proposed AD 

We have evaluated all pertinent 

information and identified an unsafe 

condition that is likely to develop on 

other airplanes of the same type design. 

For this reason, we are proposing this 

AD, which would supersede AD 2007– 

15–05. This proposed AD would instead 

require accomplishing the actions 

described previously in accordance with 

Boeing Alert Service Bulletin MD11– 

28A143, dated December 2, 2009; and 

Boeing Alert Service Bulletin DC10– 

28A261, dated December 1, 2009. 

Costs of Compliance 

There are about 281 airplanes of the 

affected design in the worldwide fleet. 

The following table provides the 

estimated costs for U.S. operators to 

comply with this proposed AD. 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Replacement.Up to 44 ....................... 85 Up to $4,478 .... Up to $8,218 ................ 281 Up to $2,309,258. 

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 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); 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. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this proposed AD and placed it in the 

AD docket. See the ADDRESSES section 

for a location to examine the regulatory 

evaluation.
