Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 96 / Monday, May 19, 2014 / Proposed Rules 28649 

FA–200–180AO airplanes, all serial numbers, 

certificated in any category. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association of America 

(ATA) Code 32: Landing Gear. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by 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 

deterioration of brake performance due to 

seal defects caused by deterioration due to 

age of the O-rings of the brake master 

cylinders. We are issuing this proposed AD 

to prevent the deterioration of brake 

performance, which could result in reduced 

or loss of control during ground operations. 

(f) Actions and Compliance 

Unless already done, do the following 

actions required by paragraphs (f)(1) through 

(f)(3) of this AD: 

(1) As of the effective date of this AD, if 

the brake master cylinder O-rings have 

accumulated more than 1,000 hours time-inservice (TIS) or 5 years since the last 

replacement of any O-ring or if the 

replacement date of any O-ring cannot be 

determined, within 50 hours TIS after the 

effective date of this AD or 1 year after the 

effective date of this AD, whichever occurs 

first, replace any O-ring following Fuji Heavy 

Industries Ltd. Service Bulletin No. 200–016, 

dated April 17, 2014. 

(2) As of the effective date of this AD, every 

time the brake master cylinder is replaced, 

inspect the manufacture date on the data tag 

of the brake master cylinder or the last 

replacement date of any O-ring by referring 

to the airframe logbook. 

(3) During any inspection of the 

manufacture date of the brake master 

cylinder or the last replacement date of any 

O-ring as required by paragraph (f)(2) of this 

AD, if it is determined that the O-rings have 

accumulated more than 5 years since the 

manufacture date on the data tag of the brake 

master cylinder or the last replacement date 

of the brake master cylinder O-rings, or if the 

manufacture date on the data tag on the brake 

master cylinder and the last replacement date 

of any brake master cylinder O-ring cannot be 

determined, before further flight, replace all 

brake master cylinder O-rings when installed 

on the airplane following Fuji Heavy 

Industries Ltd. Service Bulletin No. 200–016, 

dated April 17, 2014. 

(g) Other FAA AD Provisions 

The following provisions also apply to this 

AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, Standards Office, 

FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs 

for this AD, if requested using the procedures 

found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send information to 

ATTN: Doug Rudolph, Aerospace Engineer, 

FAA, Small Airplane Directorate, 901 Locust, 

Room 301, Kansas City, Missouri 64106; 

telephone: (816) 329–4059; fax: (816) 329– 

4090; email: doug.rudolph@faa.gov. Before 

using any approved AMOC on any airplane 

to which the AMOC applies, notify your 

appropriate principal inspector (PI) in the 

FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), 

or lacking a PI, your local FSDO. 

(2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement 

in this AD to obtain corrective actions from 

a manufacturer or other source, use these 

actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective 

actions are considered FAA-approved if they 

are approved by the State of Design Authority 

(or their delegated agent). You are required 

to assure the product is airworthy before it 

is returned to service.

I. Background 

The San Joaquin Valley (SJV) 1 is 

currently designated as nonattainment 

for several of the national ambient air 

quality standards (NAAQS) 

promulgated by EPA under the Clean 

Air Act (CAA) for ozone and fine 

particulate matter (PM2.5). See 40 CFR 

81.305. Despite numerous air pollution 

control measures and programs that the 

SJVUAPCD has implemented over the 

years to reduce air pollution, the SJV 

continues to experience some of the 

worst air quality in the nation. See, e.g., 

76 FR 57846 (September 16, 2011) 

(discussing California ozone plan for 

SJV) and 76 FR 41338 (July 13, 2011) 

(discussing California PM2.5 plan for 

SJV). As a result, the District has 

increasingly relied upon incentive 

programs and other innovative strategies 

to reduce air pollution in the SJV. See 

San Joaquin Valley Unified Air 

Pollution Control District, ‘‘Final Staff 

Report: Proposed Rule 9610 (State 

Implementation Plan Credit for 

Emission Reductions Generated through 

Incentive Programs),’’ dated June 20, 

2013 (‘‘Rule 9610 Staff Report’’) at 2, 3. 

In recent years, federal, state and local 

governments have begun to use a 

broader array of tools to manage 

environmental quality, including 

market-based economic incentives and 

other innovative strategies to reduce air 

pollution. Economic incentives are 

defined broadly as instruments that use 

financial means to motivate polluters to 

reduce the health and environmental 

risks posed by their facilities, processes, 

or products. See U.S. EPA (Office of 

Policy, Economics, and Innovation) and 

National Center for Environmental 

Economics, ‘‘The United States 

Experience with Economic Incentives 

for Protecting the Environment,’’ EPA– 

240–R–01–001, January 2001, Executive 

Summary. In light of the increasing 

incremental cost associated with further 

stationary and mobile source emissions 

reductions in many nonattainment 

areas, EPA supports and encourages the 

development of innovative approaches 

to air quality improvement, including 

economic incentives, to supplement 

traditional regulatory programs. See, 

e.g., ‘‘Guidance on Incorporating
