AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an 

existing emergency airworthiness 

directive (AD) 2009–24–52 that was sent 

previously to all known U.S. owners 

and operators of TCM 240, 360, 470, 

520, and 550 series reciprocating 

engines. That AD requires before further 

flight, replacing certain part number 

(P/N) hydraulic lifters. This AD results 

from TCM reporting another occurrence 

of rapid wear on the face of hydraulic 

lifters, P/Ns 657913, 657915, and 

657916, and from the need to expand 

the applicability of this AD to include 

the TCM 346 series reciprocating 

engines and the R–RM IO–240–A 

reciprocating engines. We are issuing 

this AD to prevent excessive hydraulic 

lifter wear, which can result in loss of 

engine power and loss of control of the 

airplane. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective June 

16, 2010. The Director of the Federal 

Register approved the incorporation by 

reference of certain publications listed 

in the regulations as of June 16, 2010. 

We must receive any comments on 

this AD by August 2, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

November 18, 2009, we issued 

emergency AD 2009–24–52, that applies 

to TCM 240, 360, 470, 520, and 550 

series reciprocating engines. That AD 

requires determining if hydraulic lifters, 

P/Ns 657913, 657915, and 657916, are 

installed, and replacing those lifters 

before further flight. That AD resulted 

from TCM reporting three occurrences 

of rapid wear on the face of hydraulic 

lifters, P/Ns 657913, 657915, and 

657916, at five, six, and 38-hours timein-service (TIS), and from the need to 

add the TCM 550 series reciprocating 

engines to the applicability. 

Actions Since AD 2009–24–52 was 

Issued 

Since that AD was issued, we have 

received a report of excessive wear at 

one-hour TIS. We also determined that 

we need to expand the applicability of 

the AD to include the TCM 346 series 

engines and the R–RM IO–240–A 

reciprocating engines. 

Relevant Service Information 

We have reviewed and approved the 

technical contents of TCM Mandatory 

Service Bulletin (MSB) No. MSB09–8A, 

dated December 4, 2009, that describes 

procedures for inspecting and removing 

certain TCM engine hydraulic lifters. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This AD 

The unsafe condition described 

previously is likely to exist or develop 

on other TCM 240, 346, 360, 470, 520, 

and 550 series and R–RM IO–240–A 

reciprocating engines of the same type 

design. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent excessive hydraulic lifter wear, 

which can result in loss of engine power 

and loss of control of the airplane. This 

AD requires replacing before further 

flight, hydraulic lifters, P/Ns 657913, 

657915, and 657916. You must use the 

service information described 

previously to perform the actions 

required by this AD. 

FAA’s Determination of the Effective 

Date 

Since an unsafe condition exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

AD, we have found that notice and 

opportunity for public comment before 

issuing this AD are impracticable, and 

that good cause exists for making this 

amendment effective in less than 30 

days. 

Comments Invited 

This AD is a final rule that involves 

requirements affecting flight safety and 

was not preceded by notice and an 

opportunity for public comment. 

However, we invite you to send us any 

written relevant data, views, or 

arguments regarding this AD. Send your 

comments to an address listed under 

ADDRESSES. Include ‘‘AD Docket No. 

FAA–2009–1156; Directorate Identifier 

2009–NE–38–AD’’ in the subject line of 

your comments. We specifically invite 

comments on the overall regulatory, 

economic, environmental, and energy 

aspects of the rule that might suggest a 

need to modify it. 

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 with FAA 

personnel concerning this AD. Using the 

search function of the Web site, anyone 

can find and read the comments in any 

of our dockets, including, if provided, 

the name of the individual who sent the 

comment (or signed the comment on 

behalf of an association, business, labor 

union, etc.). You may review the DOT’s 

complete Privacy Act Statement in the 

Federal Register published on April 11, 

2000 (65 FR 19477–78). 

Examining the AD Docket 

You may examine the AD docket on 

the Internet at http:// 

www.regulations.gov; or in person at the 

Docket Operations office between 9 a.m. 

and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

except Federal holidays. The AD docket 

contains this AD, the regulatory 

evaluation, any comments received, and 

other information. The street address for 

the Docket Operations office (telephone 

(800) 647–5527) is the same as the Mail 

address provided in the ADDRESSES

section. Comments will be available in 

the AD docket shortly after receipt. 

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 have 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 that 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 summary of the costs 

to comply with this AD and placed it in 

the AD Docket. You may get a copy of 

this summary at the address listed 

under ADDRESSES.

cylinder for P/Ns 657913, 657915, and 

657916. Use TCM MSB No. MSB09–8A, 

dated December 4, 2009, Section I. Action 

Required, paragraphs 1. through 3. to 

determine the P/N of the lifters. 

Replacing the Lifters 

(h) If your engine has any affected 

hydraulic lifters, replace the hydraulic lifters 

using TCM MSB No. MSB09–8A, dated 

December 4, 2009, Step 2, paragraphs 2.a.1) 

through 2.b.4). 

Installation Prohibition 

(i) After the effective date of this AD, do 

not install any hydraulic lifters, P/Ns 657913,

Airworthiness Directives; AVOX 

Systems and B/E Aerospace Oxygen 

Cylinders as Installed on Various 14 

CFR Part 23 and CAR 3 Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

AVOX Systems and B/E Aerospace 

oxygen cylinders, as installed on 

various 14 CFR part 23 or CAR 3 

airplanes. This AD requires you to 

inspect for and remove substandard 

oxygen cylinders from the airplane. This 

AD was prompted by the reported 

rupture of a high-pressure gaseous 

oxygen cylinder, which had insufficient 

strength characteristics due to improper 

heat treatment. We are issuing this AD 

to prevent an oxygen cylinder from 

rupturing, which, depending on the 

location, could result in structural 

damage and rapid decompression of the 

airplane, damage to adjacent essential 

flight equipment, deprivation of the 

necessary oxygen supply for the 

flightcrew, and injury to cabin 

occupants or other support personnel. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective on 

July 6, 2010. 

On July 6, 2010, the Director of the 

Federal Register approved the 

incorporation by reference of certain 

publications listed in this AD.
