Airworthiness Directives; the Boeing 

Company 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal. 

SUMMARY: The FAA withdraws a notice 

of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that 

proposed a new airworthiness directive 

(AD) for certain The Boeing Company 

Model 777–200 and –300 series 

airplanes. The proposed AD would have 

required installing new operational 

software in the cabin management 

system, and loading new software into 

the mass memory card. Since the 

proposed AD was issued, we have 

received new data that indicates the 

unsafe condition would not be 

adequately addressed by the proposed 

action. Subsequently, we are 

considering issuing new rulemaking 

that positively addresses the unsafe 

condition identified in the NPRM and 

eliminates the need for the actions 

proposed in the NPRM. Accordingly, 

the proposed AD is withdrawn. 

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD 

docket on the Internet at http:// 

www.regulations.gov; or in person at the 

Docket Management Facility between 9 

a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through 

Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD 

docket contains this AD action, the 

regulatory evaluation, any comments 

received, and other information. The

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We proposed to amend part 39 of the 

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 

part 39) with a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) for a new AD for 

certain Model 777–200 and –300 series 

airplanes. That NPRM published in the 

Federal Register on July 7, 2010 (75 FR 

38945). The NPRM would have required 

installing new operational software in 

the cabin management system, and 

loading new software into the mass 

memory card. The NPRM resulted from 

an in-flight entertainment (IFE) systems 

review. The proposed actions were 

intended to ensure that the flightcrew is 

able to turn off electrical power to the 

IFE system and other non-essential 

electrical systems through a switch in 

the flight compartment in the event of 

smoke or flames. In the event of smoke 

or flames in the airplane flight deck or 

passenger cabin, the flightcrew’s 

inability to turn off electrical power to 

the IFE system and other non-essential 

electrical systems could result in the 

inability to control smoke or flames in 

the airplane flight deck or passenger 

cabin during a non-normal or 

emergency situation. 

Actions Since NPRM (75 FR 38945, July 

7, 2010) Was Issued 

Since we issued the NPRM (75 FR 

38945, July 7, 2010), we have received 

new data that the actions that indicates 

the unsafe condition would not be 

adequately addressed by the proposed 

action. Subsequently, we are 

considering issuing new rulemaking 

that positively addresses the unsafe 

condition identified in the NPRM and 

eliminates the need for the actions 

proposed in the NPRM. 

FAA’s Conclusions 

Upon further consideration, we have 

determined that the unsafe condition 

still exists, however, we intend to 

address it with new AD rulemaking. 

Accordingly, the NPRM (75 FR 38945, 

July 7, 2010) is withdrawn. 

Withdrawal of the NPRM (75 FR 

38945, July 7, 2010) does not preclude 

the FAA from issuing another related 

action or commit the FAA to any course 

of action in the future. 

Regulatory Impact 

Since this action only withdraws an 

NPRM (75 FR 38945, July 7, 2010), it is 

neither a proposed nor a final rule and 

therefore is not covered under Executive 

Order 12866, the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act, or DOT Regulatory Policies and 

Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 

1979).

The Withdrawal 

Accordingly, we withdraw the NPRM,

published in the Federal Register on
