Discussion

We issued an NPRM to amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to certain The Boeing Company Model 757 airplanes. That NPRM published in the Federal Register on March 1, 2012 (77 FR 12506). That NPRM proposed to require modifying the fuel quantity indication system wiring or fuel tank systems to prevent development of an ignition source inside the center fuel tank.

That action (77 FR 12506, March 1, 2012) invites comments on regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of the proposal.

That action (77 FR 12506, March 1, 2012) was prompted by fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer. The actions specified by the NPRM are intended to prevent ignition sources inside the center fuel tank, which, in


### 33130 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 108 / Tuesday, June 5, 2012 / Proposed Rules

combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of the airplane.
Actions Since NPRM (77 FR 12506, March 1, 2012) Was Issued

Since we issued the NPRM (77 FR 12506, March 1, 2012), we have received a request from Airlines for America (A4A), and James Hurd on behalf of the Families of TWA Flight 800, to extend the comment period. A4A requested a 60-day extension because of the extensive scope and significant potential impact of the NPRM, the lack of associated service information, and the need for proper review of the results of prototype efforts. A4A stated that this extension would provide operators additional time to develop estimates of technical methods of compliance with the NPRM, to develop estimates of the potential impact of those methods, and to prepare comments for the rules docket.

We have considered the commenters’ request. We find it appropriate to extend the comment period to give all interested persons additional time to examine the proposed requirements and submit comments. We have determined that extending the comment period by 60 days will not compromise the safety of the affected airplanes.

The comment period for Docket No. FAA–2012–0187 closes August 6, 2012.

Because no other portion of the proposal or other regulatory information has been changed, the entire proposal (77 FR 12506, March 1, 2012) is not being republished.

Issued in Renton, Washington, on May 24,
2012. Michael Kaszycki, Acting Manager, Transport Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification Service.
