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

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 haveaccumulated 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.

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.

e.g., ‘‘Guidance on Incorporating
