ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

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: 

There has been one reported case of an aft 

equipment bay fire occurring due to arcing of 

chafed integrated drive generator (IDG) 

power cables. Additionally, the hydraulic 

line support brackets located at the fuselage 

station (FS) 672 have been found broken in 

service on several aeroplanes. A broken 

hydraulic line support bracket at FS 672 

could result in inadequate clearance between 

the IDG power cables and hydraulic lines, 

potentially resulting in chafing of the IDG 

power cables. Chafed IDG power cables can 

generate high energy arcing, which can result 

in an uncontrolled fire in the aft equipment 

bay. 

* * * * * 

This AD requires actions that are 

intended to address the unsafe 

condition described in the MCAI. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

September 9, 2011. 

We must receive comments on this 

AD by October 11, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

Transport Canada Civil Aviation 

(TCCA), which is the aviation authority 

for Canada, has issued Canadian 

Airworthiness Directive CF–2011–18, 

dated July 7, 2011 (referred to after this 

as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe 

condition for the specified products. 

The MCAI states: 

There has been one reported case of an aft 

equipment bay fire occurring due to arcing of 

chafed integrated drive generator (IDG) 

power cables. Additionally, the hydraulic 

line support brackets located at the fuselage 

station (FS) 672 have been found broken in 

service on several aeroplanes. A broken 

hydraulic line support bracket at FS 672 

could result in inadequate clearance between 

the IDG power cables and hydraulic lines, 

potentially resulting in chafing of the IDG 

power cables. Chafed IDG power cables can 

generate high energy arcing, which can result 

in an uncontrolled fire in the aft equipment 

bay. 

This [TCCA] directive mandates the 

detailed visual inspection [for chafing and 

damage] and, if required, rectification of the 

IDG power cables and hydraulic line support 

bracket. 

You may obtain further information by 

examining the MCAI in the AD docket. 

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 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 165 / Thursday, August 25, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 53047 

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. 

Differences Between the AD and the 

MCAI or Service Information 

We have reviewed the MCAI and 

related service information and, in 

general, agree with their substance. But 

we might have found it necessary to use 

different words from those in the MCAI 

to ensure the AD is clear for U.S. 

operators and is enforceable. In making 

these changes, we do not intend to differ 

substantively from the information 

provided in the MCAI and related 

service information. 

We might also have required different 

actions in this AD from those in the 

MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. 

Any such differences are highlighted in 

a NOTE within the AD. 

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 chafed IDG power cables 

can generate high energy arcing, which 

can result in an uncontrolled fire in the 

aft equipment bay. 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–2011–0907; 

Directorate Identifier 2011–NM–146– 

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 

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 AD: 

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 AD and placed it in the AD docket.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On June 21, 2011, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking to amend 

controlled airspace at Casper, WY (76 

FR 36017). Interested parties were 

invited to participate in this rulemaking 

effort by submitting written comments 

on the proposal to the FAA. No 

comments were received. 

Class D and Class E airspace 

designations are published in 

paragraphs 5000, 6002, 6004, 6005 and 

6006, respectively, of FAA Order 

7400.9U dated August 18, 2010, and 

effective September 15, 2010, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D and Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in that 

Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

amending Class D airspace, Class E 

surface airspace, Class E airspace 

designated as an extension, and Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700/ 

1,200 feet above the surface, by 

adjusting the geographic coordinates of 

Casper, Natrona County International 

Airport to be in concert with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database. Also, this action 

establishes Class E en route domestic 

airspace extending upward from 1,200 

feet above the surface to facilitate 

vectoring of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) traffic from en route airspace to 

the airport. This enhances the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. 

The FAA has determined this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. Therefore, this regulation: (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 this rule, when promulgated, 

will not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities under the criteria of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act. The FAA’s 

authority to issue rules regarding 

aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the 

U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, section 106 

discusses the authority of the FAA 

Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation 

Programs, describes in more detail the 

scope of the agency’s authority. This 

rulemaking is promulgated under the 

authority described in subtitle VII, part 

A, subpart I, section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of
