AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are superseding an 

existing airworthiness directive (AD) for 

the products listed above. That AD 

currently requires replacement of the 

power control relays in the P91 and P92 

power distribution panels for the fuel 

boost and override pumps with new, 

improved relays having a ground fault 

interrupter (GFI) feature, or installation 

and maintenance of universal fault 

interrupters (UFIs) using a certain 

supplemental type certificate. This new 

AD continues to require the actions of 

the existing AD and also specifies which 

relays may be replaced by GFIs or UFIs. 

This AD was prompted by a need to 

clarify which relays may be replaced by 

installation of UFIs. We are issuing this 

AD to prevent pump housing burnthrough due to electrical arcing, which 

could create a potential ignition source 

inside a fuel tank. This condition, in 

combination with flammable fuel 

vapors, could result in a fuel tank 

explosion and consequent loss of the 

airplane. 

DATES: This AD is effective November 4, 

2011. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of September 22, 2010 (75 FR 50859, 

August 18, 2010).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to supersede airworthiness 

directive (AD) 2010–17–05, Amendment 

39–16395 (75 FR 50859, August 18, 

2010). That AD applies to the specified 

products. The NPRM published in the 

Federal Register on December 20, 2010 

(75 FR 79317). That NPRM proposed to 

continue to require replacement of the 

power control relays in the P91 and P92 

power distribution panels for the fuel 

boost and override pumps with new, 

improved relays having a ground fault 

interrupter (GFI) feature, or installation 

and maintenance of universal fault 

interrupters (UFIs) using a certain 

supplemental type certificate. That 

NPRM also proposed to specify which 

relays may be replaced by GFIs or UFIs. 

Actions Since NPRM Was Issued 

We have been informed that referring 

to TDG Aerospace UFIs, as provided in 

paragraph (g)(2)(ii) of the NPRM (75 FR 

79317, December 20, 2010), violates 

Office of the Federal Register (OFR) 

regulations (1 CFR part 51) for approval 

of optional materials ‘‘incorporated by 

reference’’ in rules. We have revised 

paragraph (g)(2)(ii) of this AD to specify 

that installation of TDG Aerospace UFIs, 

as provided in that paragraph, must be 

done in accordance with a method 

approved by the Manager, Seattle 

Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), 

FAA. We have also added Note 2 to this 

AD to specify that additional guidance 

on installing TDG Aerospace UFIs can 

be found in TDG Aerospace 

Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) 

ST02076LA. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. The 

following presents the comments 

received on the proposal and the FAA’s 

response to each comment. 

Request To Allow Credit for 

Accomplishment of STC 

Continental Airlines (CAL) requested 

that paragraph (h) of the proposed AD 


wreier-aviles on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 190 / Friday, September 30, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 60711 

(75 FR 79317, December 20, 2010) be 

revised to add credit for work done 

according to STC ST02076LA prior to 

the effective date of the AD. CAL 

claimed that operators who 

accomplished that STC before the 

effective date of the AD would be 

required to request an AMOC to show 

compliance with the proposed AD and 

get credit for those actions. CAL pointed 

out that paragraph (h) of the proposed 

AD provides credit for accomplishment 

of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737– 

28A1201, dated February 19, 2007. 

We agree to provide clarification. 

Paragraph (h) of the proposed AD (75 FR 

79317, December 20, 2010) (paragraph 

(j) in this final rule) provided credit for 

an earlier revision of the service 

information required in paragraph (g) of 

this AD. There is no earlier version of 

STC ST02076LA, which was issued on 

October 26, 2007, that operators might 

have used to accomplish actions 

required by this AD. Paragraph (f) of this 

AD provides relief to operators that 

might have accomplished the actions 

required in this AD before the effective 

date of this AD (i.e., used Boeing Alert 

Service Bulletin 737–28A1201, Revision 

1, dated May 28, 2009, before the 

effective date of the AD). However, 

because STC ST02076LA is no longer 

provided as a means of compliance 

within the text of the AD, operators are 

required to apply for an AMOC if they 

want credit for work done according to 

that STC. We have not changed the AD 

in this regard. 

Request To Revise Previous AD Instead 

of Supersede 

All Nippon Airways (ANA) suggested 

that we revise AD 2010–17–05, 

Amendment 39–16395 (75 FR 50859, 

August 18, 2010), instead of issuing a 

new AD. ANA believed that correcting 

the STC number from STC ST02079LA 

to STC ST02076LA did not require 

issuing a new AD. 

We agree to provide clarification. The 

incorrect STC number was not the 

primary reason to issue a new AD to 

supersede AD 2010–17–05, Amendment 

39–16395 (75 FR 50859, August 18, 

2010). Paragraph (f) of AD 2010–17–05 

allowed actions accomplished according 

to STC ST02079LA to be acceptable for 

all power control relays. However, 

installation and maintenance of UFIs 

using STC ST02076LA may be an 

acceptable method of compliance for the 

center tank override pumps only. Such 

a change to paragraph (f) of AD 2010– 

17–05 to restrict the use of STC 

ST02076LA to installation and 

maintenance of UFIs on only the center 

tank override fuel pumps requires a new 

AD. We have not changed this AD in 

this regard. 

Request To Modify Panels While the 

Panels Are Off the Airplane 

American Airlines (AA) requested 

that the proposed AD be revised to 

allow modification of the P91 and P92 

panels (replacing the power control 

relays for the fuel boost pumps and 

override pumps) while the panels are 

removed and reworked outside the 

airplane. AA noted that the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing 

Alert Service Bulletin 737–28A1201, 

Revision 1, dated May 28, 2009, specify 

accomplishing the modification of the 

panels while the panels are still 

installed on the airplane. AA explained 

that allowing the panels to be modified 

or reworked outside the airplane will 

allow better access to the relay 

installation locations. 

We agree. The P91 and P92 power 

distribution panels are ‘‘line replaceable 

units,’’ and reworking those panels in a 

shop environment instead of on the 

airplane may provide better access to 

the panels and control of the applicable 

modifications. We have added 

paragraph (h) to this AD to provide this 

alternative. 

Request To Allow Alternative Means To 

Identify Modified Panels 

AA requested that we allow use of a 

locally manufactured label that includes 

an indelible means of marking the 

modified P91 and P92 panels in lieu of 

the part marking process specified in 

Note (a) in Figures 1 and 2 of Boeing 

Alert Service Bulletin 737–28A1201, 

Revision 1, dated May 28, 2009. AA 

explained that the note describes a 

process to use laser-etched 

identification labels, which involves 

submitting a digital photograph of the 

existing identification label and 

ordering a new label from Honeywell. 

We agree. The intent of this AD is to 

provide procedures to verify the 

changes to the panels, not to specify the 

part marking method. While part 

marking of the panels is needed for 

configuration control, the AD was not 

intended to specify the exact method of 

part marking. We have added paragraph 

(i) to this AD to specify that any 

industry-accepted method of marking 

the part number is acceptable for 

compliance. 

Request To Clarify Note 1 

Delta Air Lines (DAL) requested that 

the Note specified in the proposed AD 

(75 FR 79317, December 20, 2010) be 

revised to clarify that the Honeywell 

service bulletins have no bearing on the 

installation of the TDG Aerospace UFI 

relays. DAL noted that the note is not 

applicable if an operator complies with 

paragraph (g)(2)(ii) of the proposed AD. 

DAL suggested that the following phrase 

be added to the end of the sentence: ‘‘as 

given in paragraphs (g)(1) and (g)(2)(i).’’ 

We agree that Note 1 of this AD does 

not apply to the TDG Aerospace 

installation of UFI relays using STC 

ST02076LA referenced in paragraph 

(g)(2)(ii) of the proposed AD (75 FR 

79317, December 20, 2010) (referenced 

in Note 2 of this AD). However, we do 

not agree to revise Note 1 of this AD as 

suggested. As it is written, Note 1 of this 

AD already states that Boeing Alert 

Service Bulletin 737–28A1201, Revision 

1, dated May 28, 2009, references 

Honeywell Service Bulletins 1151932– 

24–61 and 1151934–24–62, both 

Revision 5, both dated May 25, 2009, as 

additional sources of guidance for 

replacing the power control relays in the 

P91 and P92 panels. There is no 

mention of STC ST02076LA in that 

note. Because that STC is not referenced 

in that note, that STC does not provide 

for Honeywell Service Bulletins 

1151932–24–61 and 1151934–24–62, 

both Revision 5, both dated May 25, 

2009, to be used as additional sources 

of guidance, and Note 1 of this AD does 

not apply to paragraph (g)(2)(ii) of this 

AD. We have not revised this AD in this 

regard. 

Request To Provide Contact 

Information for STC Holder 

DAL requested that the contact 

information for TDG Aerospace be 

included in paragraph (k) of the 

proposed AD (75 FR 79317, December 

20, 2010) because STC ST02076LA is an 

acceptable method of compliance for 

certain requirements of this AD. DAL 

noted that paragraph (k) of the proposed 

AD provides contact information for 

Boeing service information, but did not 

provide contact information for the TDG 

Aerospace STC ST02076LA. 

We agree partially. We do not agree to 

revise paragraph (k) of the proposed AD 

(75 FR 79317, December 20, 2010), 

because that paragraph is not restated in 

this final rule. However, we do agree to 

provide contact information for TDG 

Aerospace. We have revised the 

ADDRESSES section of this AD to include 

this contact information. 

Request To Revise a Word 

Boeing requested a change to a word 

in paragraph (h) of the proposed AD (75 

FR 79317, December 20, 2010) 

(paragraph (j) in this final rule) from 

‘‘is’’ to ‘‘were’’ in the phrase ‘‘ is used 

as an additional * * *.’’ 

We agree. We revised paragraph (j) of 

this AD as requested.

60712 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 190 / Friday, September 30, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data, 

considered the comments received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

with the changes described previously. 

We have determined that these minor 

changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (75 FR 

79317, December 20, 2010) for 

correcting the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM. 

We also determined that these 

changes will not increase the economic 

burden on any operator or increase the 

scope of the AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 754 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Installation of GFI relays (retained actions 

from existing AD).

8 work-hours × $85 per hour = $680 ............. $11,010 $11,690 $8,814,260 

The new requirements of this AD add 

no additional economic burden. 

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 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), 

(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. 

Adoption of the Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as

(d) Joint Aircraft System Component 

(JASC)/Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 28: Fuel. 

Unsafe Condition 

(e) This AD was prompted by fuel system 

reviews conducted by the manufacturer. We 

are issuing this AD to prevent pump housing 

burn-through due to electrical arcing, which 

could create a potential ignition source 

inside a fuel tank. This condition, in 

combination with flammable fuel vapors, 

could result in a fuel tank explosion and 

consequent loss of the airplane. 

Compliance 

(f) Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

Replacement or Installation 

(g) Within 60 months after the effective 

date of this AD, do the actions required in 

paragraphs (g)(1) and (g)(2) of this AD. 

(1) Replace the power control relays that 

are located in the R18, R19, R20, and R21 

positions in the P91 and P92 power 

distribution panels for the fuel boost pumps 

with new, improved relays, part number 

KDAG–X4F–001, having a ground fault 

interrupter (GFI) feature, in accordance with 

the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing

(i) Replace with new, improved relays, part 

number KDAG–X4F–001, having a GFI 

feature, in accordance with the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert 

Service Bulletin 737–28A1201, Revision 1, 

dated May 28, 2009, except as provided in 

paragraphs (h) and (i) of this AD. 

(ii) Install and maintain TDG Aerospace 

universal fault interrupters (UFIs) in 

accordance with a method approved by the 

Manager, Seattle Aircraft Certification Office, 

FAA. 

Note 1: Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737– 

28A1201, Revision 1, dated May 28, 2009, 

refers to Honeywell Service Bulletin 

1151932–24–61 and Honeywell Service 

Bulletin 1151934–24–62, both Revision 5, 

both dated May 25, 2009, as additional 

sources of guidance for replacement of the 


wreier-aviles on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 190 / Friday, September 30, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 60713 

power control relays in the P91 and P92 

power distribution panels. 

Note 2: Guidance on installing TDG 

Aerospace universal fault interrupters (UFIs) 

can be found in Supplemental Type 

Certificate ST02076LA. 

(h) Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 

737–28A1201, Revision 1, dated May 28, 

2009, specifies accomplishing actions in the 

P91 and P92 power distribution panels while 

those panels are installed on the airplane, 

this AD does not require that the panels are 

on the airplane while the actions are 

accomplished. This AD allows the actions on 

the P91 and P92 panels to be accomplished 

while those panels are removed from the 

airplane. 

Note 3: Section 24–21–21, ‘‘Power 

Distribution Panel,’’ of the Practices and 

Procedures section of the Boeing 737–600– 

700–800–900 Aircraft Maintenance Manual 

may be used as an additional source of 

guidance on removing and reinstalling the 

P91 and P92 power distribution panels. 

(i) Where Note (a) in Figures 1 and 2 of the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert 

Service Bulletin 737–28A1201, Revision 1, 

dated May 28, 2009, specifies procedures for 

marking the part numbers of the panels, this 

AD does not require a specific method for 

marking. Operators are allowed to use any 

industry-accepted method. 

Credit for Actions Accomplished in 

Accordance With Previous Service 

Information 

(j) Actions done before the effective date of 

this AD in accordance with Boeing Alert 

Service Bulletin 737–28A1201, dated 

February 19, 2007, are acceptable for 

compliance with the requirements of 

paragraphs (g)(1) and (g)(2)(i) of this AD, 

provided that Revision 5 of Honeywell 

Service Bulletins 1151932–24–61 and 

1151934–24–62, both dated May 25, 2009, 

were used as an additional source of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On July 29,2011, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking to establish Class 

E airspace at Bumpass, VA (76 FR 

45479) Docket No. FAA–2011–0377. 

Interested parties were invited to 2 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments 

were received. Class E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

6005 of FAA Order 7400.9V dated 

August 9, 2011, and effective September 

15, 2011, which is incorporated by 

reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E 

airspace designations listed in this 

document will be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

establishes Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Bumpass, VA, to provide the 

controlled airspace required to support 

the new RNA V GPS standard 

instrument approach procedures 

developed for Lake Anna Airport. This 

action is necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current, is non-controversial and 

unlikely to result in adverse or negative 

comments. It, therefore, (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) 

does not warrant preparation of a 

Regulatory Evaluation as the anticipated 

impact is so minimal. Since this is a 

routine matter that will only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial
