that revised FHFA’s implementing 

regulation under the Privacy Act of 1974 

(Privacy Act). The changes to the 

existing Privacy Act regulation provide 

the procedures and guidelines under 

which FHFA and the FHFA Office of 

Inspector General (FHFA–OIG) will 

implement the Privacy Act of 1974, as 

amended (5 U.S.C. 552a). 

DATES: The final regulation is effective 

January 31, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

In August 2011, FHFA published an 

interim final regulation with request for 

comments that revised its Privacy Act 

regulation. See 76 FR 51869 (Aug. 19, 

2011). The revised Privacy Act 

regulation (12 CFR part 1204) provided 

the procedures and guidelines under 

which FHFA and FHFA–OIG will 

implement the Privacy Act. The 60-day 

public comment period for the interim 

final regulation closed on October 18, 

2011. See 76 FR 51869. 

II. Analysis of Public Comments and 

the Final Regulation 

FHFA received no comments in 

response to the interim final regulation. 

Thus, for the reasons set forth in detail 

in the interim final regulation, FHFA is 

adopting the interim final regulation as 

a final regulation without any 

substantive changes. However, since the 

publication of the interim final 

regulation, FHFA has relocated its 

headquarters and its mailing address 

and contact information for the Privacy 

program has changed. As a result, FHFA 

will be making only technical changes 

to the regulation to include the new 

mailing address and facsimile numbers 

for the Privacy program. 

III. Paperwork Reduction Act 

The final regulation does not contain 

any information collection requirement 

that requires the approval of OMB under 

the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

3501 et seq.). 

IV. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.) requires that a 

regulation that has a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities, small 

businesses, or small organizations 

include an initial regulatory flexibility 

analysis describing the regulation’s 

impact on small entities. Such an 

analysis need not be undertaken if the 

agency has certified that the regulation 

does not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities. 5 U.S.C. 605(b). FHFA has 

considered the impact of the final 

regulation under the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. FHFA certifies that the 

regulation is not likely to have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small business 

entities because the regulation is 

applicable to the internal operations and 

legal obligations of FHFA and FHFA– 

OIG.

ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Bombardier, Inc. Model DHC–8–400, 

–401, and –402 airplanes. This AD 

requires an inspection of a certain 

alternating current (AC) power wire 

bundle for damage, and repair if 

necessary. Additionally, this AD 

requires segregating the wire bundle 

into two wire bundles and installing 

Teflon tubing. This AD was prompted 

by multiple reports of the loss of certain 

AC systems caused by a burnt AC power 

wire bundle. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent the loss of ice protection 

systems for the angle of attack vanes, 

pitot probes, engine inlets, and 

windshields, and consequent loss of or 

misleading airspeed indication and 

increased workload for the flight crew, 

which could lead to loss of control of 

the airplane. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

February 15, 2012. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of February 15, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian 

Airworthiness Directive CF–2011–46, 

dated December 20, 2011 (referred to 

after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an 

unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

There have been several reports of the loss 

of certain Alternating Current (AC) systems 

along with the tripping of associated circuit 

breakers. During maintenance 

troubleshooting, the same AC power wire 

bundle was found burnt. All AC systems and 

AC Generators could be affected by damage 

to this AC power wire bundle resulting in the 

loss of ice protection systems for the angle of 

attack vanes, pitot probes, engine inlets or 

windshields. In icing conditions, the loss of 

the ice protection systems could affect 

continued safe flight. 

This [TCCA] Airworthiness Directive (AD) 

mandates the detailed inspection [for 

damage] of the AC power wire bundle [and 

repair if necessary] and segregation of the 

wires within the affected AC power wire 

bundle to prevent a dual system loss [and 

installing Teflon tubing]. 

The detailed inspection for damage 

includes inspecting for any foreign 

object damage (FOD), damage due to 

sharp bends and kinking or 

deterioration, insulation cracking, 

evidence of heat damage to the 

insulation, and chafing. The unsafe 

condition is the loss of ice protection 

systems for the angle of attack vanes, 

pitot probes, engine inlets, and 

windshields, and consequent loss of or 

misleading airspeed indication and 

increased workload for the flight crew, 

which could lead to loss of control of 

the airplane. You may obtain further 

information by examining the MCAI in 

the AD docket. 

Relevant Service Information 

Bombardier has issued Service 

Bulletin 84–24–52, dated November 22, 

2011. The actions described in this 

service information are intended to 

correct the unsafe condition identified 

in the MCAI. 

Differences Between the AD and the 

MCAI 

Although the MCAI recommends 

accomplishing the actions within 600 

flight hours or 90 days, whichever 

occurs first, after the effective date of 

the MCAI, this AD requires 

accomplishment within 400 flight hours 

or 60 days, whichever occurs first, after 

the effective date of this AD. We find 

that a compliance time of 600 flight 

hours or 90 days, whichever occurs first, 

would not address the unsafe condition 

soon enough to maintain an adequate 

level of safety for the affected fleet. In 

developing an appropriate compliance 

time for this AD, we considered the 

degree of urgency associated with 

addressing the unsafe condition, the 

upcoming inclement weather 

conditions, and the maximum interval 

of time allowable for all affected 

airplanes to continue to operate without 

compromising safety. We find that 400 

flight hours or 60 days, whichever 

occurs first, after the effective date of 

this AD, to be an appropriate 

compliance time to complete these 

actions. This difference has been 

coordinated with TCCA. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This 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 issuing this 

AD because we evaluated all pertinent 

information and determined the unsafe 

condition exists and is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. 

FAA’s Determination of the Effective 

Date 

An unsafe condition exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

AD. The FAA has found that the risk to 

the flying public justifies waiving notice 

and comment prior to adoption of this 

rule because there have been several 

reports of the loss of certain AC systems 

along with the tripping of associated 

circuit breakers. During maintenance 

troubleshooting, the same AC power 

wire bundle was found burnt. All AC 

systems and AC Generators could be 

affected by damage to this AC power 

wire bundle resulting in the loss of ice 

protection systems for the angle of 

attack vanes, pitot probes, engine inlets 

or windshields. In icing conditions, the 

loss of the ice protection systems could 

affect continued safe flight. Therefore, 

we determined that notice and 

opportunity for public comment before 

issuing this AD are impracticable and 

that good cause exists for making this 

amendment effective in fewer than 

30 days. 

Comments Invited 

This AD is a final rule that involves 

requirements affecting flight safety, and 

we did not precede it by notice and 

opportunity for public comment. We 

invite you to send any written relevant 

data, views, or arguments about this AD. 

Send your comments to an address 

listed under the ADDRESSES section. 

Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA–2012–0037; 

Directorate Identifier 2012–NM–003– 

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 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
4648 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 20 / Tuesday, January 31, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 

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 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 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 AD and placed it in the AD docket.
