We will post all comments we

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 


wreier-aviles on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
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.

2012.
