Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 128 / Tuesday, July 5, 2011 / Proposed Rules 39035 

(ii) If the number of touch-and-go’s and 

overshoots on an individual critical part is 

one percent or more of the total number of 

FC on the critical part, disregard the previous 

calculations of life on that individual critical 

part and retrospectively re-calculate the 

accumulated FC of that individual critical 

part by the addition of one FC for every 

touch-and-go and overshoot to the total 

number of FC. 

Definitions 

(f) A touch-and-go is a phase of a flight 

where a landing approach of an airplane is 

continued to the touch-down point and the 

airplane immediately takes off again without 

stopping. 

(g) An overshoot is a phase of a flight 

where a landing approach of an airplane is 

not continued to the touchdown point. This 

includes missed approaches due to safety 

reasons, weather minimums, airplane engine 

configurations, runway incursions, and any 

other undetermined causes. 

FAA AD Differences 

(h) This AD differs from the Mandatory 

Continuing Airworthiness Information 

(MCAI) and or service information as follows: 

(1) This AD requires within 30 days after 

the effective date of this AD, revising the ALS 

of the operators approved maintenance 

program (reference the TLM chapters 05–00– 

01 and 05–00–02 of the applicable EMs) to 

remove the requirement to record each touchand-go or overshoot as 1⁄5 of a FC on an 

engine installed on an airplane used for Pilot 

Training, and adding a requirement to record 

each touch-and-go or overshoot as 1 FC to the 

life of all critical parts and the fan blades. 

The MCAI requires that the revised method 

of life counting for each touch-and-go and 

overshoot be accomplished within 4 months. 

(2) The MCAI requires determining the 

total number of touch-and-go’s and 

overshoots that each individual critical part 

(except the fan shaft and LP turbine rotor 

shaft) has experienced since entry into 

service. This AD only requires determining 

those numbers for touch-and-go’s and 

overshoots that had occurred during Pilot 

Training. 

Other FAA AD Provisions 

(i) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, Engine Certification 

Office, FAA, has the authority to approve 

AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the 

procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19.

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: 

[T]he FAA has published SFAR 88 (Special 

Federal Aviation Regulation 88). 

In their letters referenced 04/00/02/07/01– 

L296, dated March 4th, 2002, and 04/00/02/ 

07/03–L024, dated February 3rd, 2003, the 

[Joint Aviation Authorities] JAA 

recommended the application of a similar 

regulation to the National Aviation 

Authorities (NAA). 

Under this regulation, all holders of type 

certificates for passenger transport aircraft 

with either a passenger capacity of 30 or 

more, or a payload capacity of 3,402 kg 

(7,500 lb) or more which have received their 

certification since January 1st, 1958, are 

required to conduct a design review against 

explosion risks. 

* * * * * 

The unsafe condition is insufficient 

electrical bonding of the over-wing 

refueling cap adapter, which could 

result in a possible fuel ignition source 

in the fuel tanks. 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 August 19, 2011.

Discussion 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued EASA 

Airworthiness Directive 2010–0199, 

dated September 30, 2010 (referred to 

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

unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

[T]he FAA has published SFAR 88 (Special 

Federal Aviation Regulation 88). 

In their letters referenced 04/00/02/07/01– 

L296, dated March 4th, 2002, and 04/00/02/ 

07/03–L024, dated February 3rd, 2003, the 

JAA recommended the application of a 

similar regulation to the National Aviation 

Authorities (NAA). 

Under this regulation, all holders of type 

certificates for passenger transport aircraft 

with either a passenger capacity of 30 or 

more, or a payload capacity of 3,402 kg 

(7,500 lb) or more which have received their 

certification since January 1st, 1958, are 

required to conduct a design review against 

explosion risks. 

* * * * * 

* * * [This AD] requires the additional 

work introduced by Airbus SB A310–28– 

2142 at revision 3. 

The unsafe condition is insufficient 

electrical bonding of the over-wing 

refueling cap adapter, which could 

result in a possible fuel ignition source 

in the fuel tanks. 

The additional work for airplanes on 

which Airbus Service Bulletin A310– 

28–2142, dated August 26, 2005; 

Revision 01, dated July 17, 2006; or 

Revision 02, dated September 3, 2007; 

has been done consists of doing 

electrical bonding resistance tests (for 

configuration 05 airplanes) of the 

inboard and outboard over-wing 

refueling cap mounts and, for 

configuration 06 airplanes, doing 

electrical bonding resistance tests of the 

outboard over-wing refueling cap 

mounts, and corrective actions, if 

necessary. Corrective actions include 

installing and bonding new refueling 

cap adapter nuts. You may obtain 

further information by examining the 

MCAI in the AD docket. 

The FAA has examined the 

underlying safety issues involved in fuel 

tank explosions on several large 

transport airplanes, including the 

adequacy of existing regulations, the 

service history of airplanes subject to 

those regulations, and existing 

maintenance practices for fuel tank 

systems. As a result of those findings, 

we issued a regulation titled ‘‘Transport 

Airplane Fuel Tank System Design 

Review, Flammability Reduction and 

Maintenance and Inspection 

Requirements’’ (66 FR 23086, May 7, 

2001). In addition to new airworthiness 

standards for transport airplanes and 

new maintenance requirements, this 

rule included Special Federal Aviation 

Regulation No. 88 (‘‘SFAR 88,’’ 

Amendment 21–78, and subsequent 

Amendments 21–82 and 21–83). 

Among other actions, SFAR 88 

requires certain type design (i.e., type 

certificate (TC) and supplemental type 

certificate (STC)) holders to substantiate 

that their fuel tank systems can prevent 

ignition sources in the fuel tanks. This 

requirement applies to type design 

holders for large turbine-powered 

transport airplanes and for subsequent 

modifications to those airplanes. It 

requires them to perform design reviews 

and to develop design changes and 

maintenance procedures if their designs 

do not meet the new fuel tank safety 

standards. As explained in the preamble 

to the rule, we intended to adopt 

airworthiness directives to mandate any 

changes found necessary to address 

unsafe conditions identified as a result 

of these reviews. 

In evaluating these design reviews, we 

have established four criteria intended 

to define the unsafe conditions 

associated with fuel tank systems that 

require corrective actions. The 

percentage of operating time during 

which fuel tanks are exposed to 

flammable conditions is one of these 

criteria. The other three criteria address 

the failure types under evaluation: 

single failures, single failures in 

combination with a latent condition(s), 

and in-service failure experience. For all 

four criteria, the evaluations included 

consideration of previous actions taken 

that may mitigate the need for further 

action. 

The Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) 

has issued a regulation that is similar to 

SFAR 88. (The JAA is an associated 

body of the European Civil Aviation 

Conference (ECAC) representing the 

civil aviation regulatory authorities of a 

number of European States who have 

agreed to co-operate in developing and 

implementing common safety regulatory 

standards and procedures.) Under this 

regulation, the JAA stated that all 

members of the ECAC that hold type 

certificates for transport category 

airplanes are required to conduct a 

design review against explosion risks. 

Relevant Service Information 

Airbus has issued Mandatory Service 

Bulletin A310–28–2142, Revision 03, 

dated November 18, 2009. The actions 

described in this service information are 

intended to correct the unsafe condition 

identified in the MCAI. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This Proposed 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 proposing this 

AD because we evaluated all pertinent 

information and determined an unsafe 

condition exists and is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. 

Differences Between This 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 proposed 

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 

proposed AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

Based on the service information, we 

estimate that this proposed AD would 

affect about 66 products of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 4 work-hours per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this proposed AD. The average labor 

rate is $85 per work-hour. Required 

parts would cost about $200 per 

product. Where the service information 

lists required parts costs that are 

covered under warranty, we have 

assumed that there will be no charge for 

these parts. As we do not control 

warranty coverage for affected parties, 

some parties may incur costs higher 

than estimated here. Based on these 

figures, we estimate the cost of the 

proposed AD on U.S. operators to be 

$35,640, or $540 per product.

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 128 / Tuesday, July 5, 2011 / Proposed Rules 39037 

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); 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.

FAA AD Differences 

Note 1: This AD differs from the MCAI 

and/or service information as follows: 

(1) Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin 

A310–28–2142, Revision 03, dated November 

18, 2009, specifies that if any resistance 

measurement is more than 10 mohm, 

corrective actions must be done. This AD 

specifies that if any resistance measurement 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish 

Class E airspace at Lebanon, PA, 

providing the controlled airspace 

required to support the new RNAV GPS 

standard instrument approach 

procedures for Keller Brothers Airport. 

Controlled airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface would 

be established for the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in Paragraph 6005 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 E airspace designation 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to
