SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 

22, 2011, CCC published a Request for 

Comments (76 FR 15859–15864) 

requesting comments about the 

calculation of assessments to fund the 

Tobacco Transition Payment Program 

(TTPP) as authorized by the Fair and 

Equitable Tobacco Reform Act of 2004 

(FETRA) (7 U.S.C. 518–519a). CCC 

needs to correct the information in the 

Request for Comments to remove 

inadvertently inaccurate estimates of the 

impact of an alternative cigar 

assessment methodology. 

The Request for Comments on page 

15864, in the first column, contained a 

paragraph that stated that the possible 

impact of one alternative might have 

been a twelve-fold increase with respect 

to large cigars for 2010, and that the 

effect of this might have even been 

greater for previous years because of a 

recent change in product mix. That 

paragraph reads as follows: 

But assuming a situation in which there are 

substantial small cigar marketings in the 

actual ‘‘small cigar’’ tax category, changing 

the Step B method would substantially 

change assessment levels. Even applied to 

assessment data from the first quarter of 

2010, it appears that the alternative method 

of using cigar subcategories would have 

increased the large cigar unit assessment as 

much as 12 times. That difference might 

actually have been greater before then 

because in 2010, the shift in market volume 

from small to large cigars had already begun. 

The estimate of the impact of the 

alternative method is inaccurate; an 

error was made in the calculations on 

which this paragraph was based. A 

recalculation was made using 2006 data. 

The recalculation demonstrated that had 

the alternative methodology been in use 

in 2006, the alternative methodology 

would have increased the large cigar 

assessment by roughly 80 percent, not 

twelve-fold, and would have decreased 

the small cigars assessment (as ‘‘small 

cigars’’ are defined for the purposes of 

excise taxes) by roughly 95 percent. For 

2010, it is estimated that there would 

have been only a slight change in the 

large cigar assessment if cigar categories 

were broken out separately at the Step 

A level. Therefore, this document 

corrects the Request for Comments by 

removing the paragraph quoted above 

that contains the inaccurate estimate of 

impact.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing 

Company Model 757 Airplanes 

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 

757 airplanes. The existing AD currently 

requires revising the Airworthiness 

Limitations (AWLs) section of the 

Instructions for Continued 

Airworthiness by incorporating new 

limitations for fuel tank systems to 

satisfy Special Federal Aviation 

Regulation No. 88 requirements. That 

AD also requires the initial inspection of 

certain repetitive AWL inspections to 

phase-in those inspections, and repair if 

necessary. This proposed AD would 

require actions that were provided 

previously as optional actions, and 

would require a certain initial 

inspection to be accomplished for a 

revised AWL. This proposed AD results 

from a report that an AWL required by 

the existing AD must be revised. We are 

proposing this AD to prevent the 

potential for ignition sources inside fuel 

tanks caused by latent failures, 

alterations, repairs, or maintenance 

actions, which, in combination with 

flammable fuel vapors, could result in a 

fuel tank explosion and consequent loss 

of the airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by May 23, 2011.

Discussion 

On April 29, 2008, we issued AD 

2008–10–11, amendment 39–15517 (73 

FR 25974, May 8, 2008), for all Model 

757 series airplanes. That AD requires 

revising the Airworthiness Limitations 

(AWLs) section of the Instructions for 

Continued Airworthiness by 

incorporating new limitations for fuel 

tank systems to satisfy Special Federal 

Aviation Regulation No. 88 

requirements. That AD also requires the 

initial inspection of certain repetitive 

AWL inspections to phase-in those 

inspections, and repair if necessary. 

That AD resulted from a design review 

of the fuel tank systems. We issued that 

AD to prevent the potential for ignition 

sources inside fuel tanks caused by 

latent failures, alterations, repairs, or 

maintenance actions, 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 2008–10–11, we 

received a report from the manufacturer 

that AWL No. 28–AWL–03, as specified 

in Boeing Temporary Revision (TR) 09– 

008, dated March 2008, contained 

incorrect information. Boeing TR 09– 

008 was published as Section 9 of the 

Boeing 757 Maintenance Planning Data 

(MPD) Document, D622N001–9, 

Revision March 2008, and was 

referenced by AD 2008–10–11. Use of 

that AWL may result in not detecting 

defects in the fuel quantity indicating 

system (FQIS) wiring shield. Boeing 

issued Boeing TR 09–010, dated July 

2010, which was published as Section 9 

of the Boeing 757 MPD Document, 

D622N001–9, Revision July 2010. That 

document also revises other AWLs 

referenced by AD 2008–10–11. 

Since we issued that AD, we have also 

determined that it is necessary to clarify 

the AD’s intended effect on spare and 

on-airplane fuel tank system 

components, regarding the use of 

maintenance manuals and instructions 

for continued airworthiness. 

Section 91.403(c) of the Federal 

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 91.403(c)) 

specifies the following: 

No person may operate an aircraft for 

which a manufacturer’s maintenance manual 

or instructions for continued airworthiness 

has been issued that contains an 

airworthiness limitation section unless the 

mandatory * * * procedures * * * have 

been complied with. 

Critical design configuration control 

limitations (CDCCLs) are airworthiness 

limitation requirements to preserve a 

critical ignition source prevention 

feature of the fuel tank system design 

that is necessary to prevent the 

occurrence of an unsafe condition. The 

purpose of a CDCCL is to provide 

instruction to retain the critical ignition 

source prevention feature during 

configuration changes that may be 

caused by alterations, repairs, or 

maintenance actions. A CDCCL is not a 

periodic inspection. 

Some operators have questioned 

whether existing components affected 

by the new CDCCLs must be reworked. 

We did not intend for the AD to 

retroactively require rework of 

components that had been maintained 

using acceptable methods before the 

effective date of the AD. Owners and 

operators of the affected airplanes 

therefore are not required to rework 

affected components identified as 

airworthy or installed on the affected 

airplanes before the required revisions 

of the maintenance program. But once 

the CDCCLs are incorporated into the 

maintenance program, future 

maintenance actions on components 

must be done in accordance with those 

CDCCLs. 

Explanation of Changes to AD 2008–10– 

11 

AD 2008–10–11 allowed the inclusion 

of AWLs No. 28–AWL–25 and 28– 

AWL–26 as an optional action. We have 

determined that those AWLs must be 

required. We have added that 

requirement in paragraph (l) of this 

proposed AD to require those AWLs and 

paragraphs (n) and (o) of this proposed 

AD to clarify the required compliance 

times for those AWLs. 

We have removed the ‘‘Service 

Information’’ reference paragraph from 

this proposed AD. That paragraph was 

identified as paragraph (f) in AD 2008– 

10–11. Instead, we have provided the 

full service information citations 

throughout this NPRM. 

AD 2008–10–11 allowed the use of 

alternative inspections, intervals, or 

CDCCLs if they are part of a later 

revision of Boeing TR 09–008, dated 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with PROPOSALS

19712 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 68 / Friday, April 8, 2011 / Proposed Rules 

March 2008, to Section 9 of the Boeing 

757 MPD Document, D622N001–9. AD 

2008–10–11 also allowed the use of later 

revisions of Section 9 of the Boeing 757 

MPD Document, D622N001–9. Those 

provisions have been removed from this 

proposed AD. We have removed the 

references to ‘‘a later revision’’ or ‘‘later 

FAA-approved revisions’’ of specific 

service documents to be consistent with 

FAA policy and with Office of the 

Federal Register regulations for 

approving materials that are 

incorporated by reference. Affected 

operators, however, may request 

approval to use a later revision or an 

alternative CDCCL, inspection, or 

interval that is part of a later revision of 

the referenced service documents as an 

alternative method of compliance, 

under the provisions of paragraph (u) of 

this AD. 

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 2008– 

10–11 and would retain the 

requirements of the existing AD with 

revised service information. This 

proposed AD would also require actions 

that were previously provided as 

optional actions in the existing AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

There are about 990 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.

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 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. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference, 

Safety. 

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 

39 as follows: 

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS 

DIRECTIVES 

1. The authority citation for part 39 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by 

removing amendment 39–15517 (73 FR 

25974, May 8, 2008) and adding the 

following new AD: 

The Boeing Company: Docket No. FAA– 

2011–0304; Directorate Identifier 2010– 

NM–103–AD. 

Comments Due Date 

(a) The FAA must receive comments on 

this AD action by May 23, 2011. 

Affected ADs 

(b) This AD supersedes AD 2008–10–11, 

Amendment 39–15517. Certain requirements 

of this AD terminate certain requirements of 

AD 2008–11–07, Amendment 39–15529; AD 

2008–06–03, Amendment 39–15415; and AD 

2009–06–20, Amendment 39–15857. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to all The Boeing 

Company Model 757–200, –200PF, –200CB, 

and –300 series airplanes, certificated in any 

category. 

Note 1: This AD requires revisions to 

certain operator maintenance documents to 

include new actions (e.g., inspections) and/ 

or Critical Design Configuration Control 

Limitations (CDCCLs). Compliance with 

these actions and/or CDCCLs is required by 

14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes that have 

been previously modified, altered, or 

repaired in the areas addressed by these 

inspections, the operator may not be able to 

accomplish the actions described in the 

revisions. In this situation, to comply with 14 

CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request 

approval of an alternative method of 

compliance (AMOC) according to paragraph 

(u) of this AD. The request should include a 

description of changes to the required actions 

that will ensure the continued operational 

safety of the airplane. 

Subject 

(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 28: Fuel. 

Unsafe Condition 

(e) This AD results from a design review 

of the fuel tank systems. The Federal 

Aviation Administration is issuing this AD to 

prevent the potential for ignition sources 

inside fuel tanks caused by latent failures, 

alterations, repairs, or maintenance actions, 

which, in combination with flammable fuel 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with PROPOSALS

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 68 / Friday, April 8, 2011 / Proposed Rules 19713 

vapors, could result in a fuel tank explosion 

and consequent loss of the airplane. 

Compliance 

(f) You are responsible for having the 

actions required by this AD performed within 

the compliance times specified, unless the 

actions have already been done. 

Restatement of Requirements of AD 2008– 

10–11, With Revised Service Information 

Revision of Airworthiness Limitations (AWLs)

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model 

A320–214, –232, and –233 Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above. This proposed 

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: 

* * * * * 

Results from a design review done by 

AIRBUS for documentation update have 

revealed that, on post-mod 38310 A320 

aeroplanes only, in case of emergency 

electrical configuration combined with a 

Green and Yellow hydraulic system loss, 

during landing phase (nose landing gear 

extended), the roll control would only be 

provided by the left aileron. 

This condition, if not corrected, could lead 

to an asymmetrical landing configuration, 

resulting in reduced control of the aeroplane. 

* * * * * 

The proposed AD would require actions 

that are intended to address the unsafe 

condition described in the MCAI. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by May 23, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by 

any of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to 

http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments.
