ACTION: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above that would 

supersede an existing AD. 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: 

Prompted by [an] accident * * * the FAA 

published SFAR 88 (Special Federal Aviation 

Regulation 88) * * *.

37340 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 124 / Tuesday, June 29, 2010 / Proposed Rules 

Fuel Airworthiness Limitations arising from 

the required systems safety analysis are items 

that have been shown to have failure mode(s) 

associated with an ‘unsafe condition’ * * *. 

These are identified in Failure Conditions for 

which an unacceptable probability of ignition 

risk could exist if specific tasks and/or 

practices are not performed in accordance 

with the corrective actions(s) developed by 

the TC [type certificate] holder. 

The proposed AD would require actions 

that are intended to address the unsafe 

condition described in the MCAI.

about this proposed AD. 

Discussion 

On April 24, 2008, we issued AD 

2008–09–22, Amendment 39–15503 (73 

FR 23939, May 1, 2008). That AD 

required actions intended to address an 

unsafe condition on the products listed 

above. 

Since we issued AD 2008–09–22, the 

fuel airworthiness limitations have been 

revised. The European Aviation Safety 

Agency (EASA), which is the Technical 

Agent for the Member States of the 

European Community, has issued EASA 

Airworthiness Directive 2009–0146, 

dated July 3, 2009 (referred to after this 

as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe 

condition for the specified products. 

The MCAI states: 

Prompted by [an] accident * * *, the FAA 

published SFAR 88 (Special Federal Aviation 

Regulation 88). Subsequently, the Joint 

Aviation Authorities (JAA) recommended the 

application of a similar regulation to the 

National Aviation Authorities (NAA) of its 

member countries. 

Under this regulation, all holders of type 

certificates for passenger transport aeroplanes 

with either a passenger capacity of 30 or 

more, or a payload capacity of 3 402 kg (7 

500 lbs) or more, which have received their 

certification since 01 January 1958, are 

required to conduct a design review against 

explosion risks. 

In August 2005, EASA published a policy 

statement on the process for developing 

instructions for maintenance and inspection 

of Fuel Tank System ignition source 

prevention (EASA D 2005/CPRO), that also 

included the EASA expectations with regard 

to compliance times of the corrective actions 

on the unsafe and the not unsafe part of the 

harmonised design review results. 

Fuel Airworthiness Limitations arising 

from the required systems safety analysis are 

items that have been shown to have failure 

mode(s) associated with an ‘unsafe condition’ 

as defined in the FAA memo 2003–112–15 

‘SFAR 88—Mandatory Action Decision 

Criteria’. These are identified in Failure 

Conditions for which an unacceptable 

probability of ignition risk could exist if 

specific tasks and/or practices are not 

performed in accordance with the corrective 

action(s) developed by the TC [type 

certificate] holder. 

To address these potential unsafe 

conditions, EASA issued AD 2007–0007, 

mandating the Fuel System Airworthiness 

Limitations, comprising maintenance and 

inspection tasks and Critical Design 

Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCL) 

that were, at that moment, defined in issue 

C of EADS–CASA document DT–0–C00– 

05001. That document has now been revised 

and updated to issue D. 

For the reasons described above, this EASA 

AD retains the requirements of AD 2007– 

0007, which is superseded [and corresponds 

to FAA AD 2008–09–22], and requires the 

implementation of the revised Fuel 

Airworthiness Limitations contained in issue 

D of EADS–CASA document DT–0–C00– 

05001 and accomplishment of related 

modifications. 

The required actions are retaining the 

limitations for fuel tank systems, adding 

thermal insulation to the air conditional 

compression system, applying double 

bonding connection on fuel tubes, and 

modifying the separation between the 

center wing electrical harness and fuel 

tubes. The application of double 

bonding connections on fuel tubes 

includes doing general visual 

inspections for damage of the inside of 

the fuel tanks, and corrective actions if 

necessary. The corrective actions 

include contacting EADS CASA for 

repair instructions and doing the repair. 

You may obtain further information by 

examining the MCAI in the AD docket. 

We have changed Table 1 of this AD 

to fix a typographical error, which is 

specified in EADS CASA Component 

Maintenance Manual with Illustrated 

Parts List 28–21–12, Revision 003, dated 

June 15, 2007. The title page of that 

document specifies ‘‘Revision 002.’’ The 

correct revision level is ‘‘Revision 003.’’ 

Relevant Service Information 

EADS CASA has issued the following 

service bulletins: 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 124 / Tuesday, June 29, 2010 / Proposed Rules 37341 

• EADS CASA Service Bulletin SB– 

235–21–18, dated August 2, 2007; 

• EADS CASA Service Bulletin SB– 

235–24–20, dated August 2, 2007; and 

• EADS CASA Service Bulletin SB– 

235–28–18, dated August 2, 2007. 

EADS CASA has also issued CN–235/C– 

295 Technical Document, DT–0–C00– 

05001, Issue D, dated October 2008. 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 8 products of U.S. registry. 

The actions that are required by AD 

2008–09–22 and retained in this 

proposed AD take about 1 work-hour 

per product, at an average labor rate of 

$85 per work hour. Based on these 

figures, the estimated cost of the 

currently required actions is $85 per 

product. 

We estimate that it would take about 

90 work-hours per product, depending 

on airplane configuration, to comply 

with the new basic requirements of this 

proposed AD. The average labor rate is 

$85 per work-hour. Based on these 

figures, we estimate the cost of the 

proposed AD on U.S. operators to be 

$61,200, or $7,650 per product, 

depending on airplane configuration. 

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.
