### 47598 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 157 / Thursday, August 14, 2014 / Proposed Rules

Discussion

We received a report of the EICAS display system malfunctioning during flight. An investigation determined that the problems were caused by a water leak from a fractured plastic potable water coupling. We are proposing this AD to prevent an uncontrolled water leak from a defective potable water system coupling. This condition, if not corrected, could cause the MEC LRUs to become wet, resulting in an electrical short and potential loss of several functions essential for safe flight.

Relevant Service Information

We reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767–38A0073, dated November 12, 2013. For information on the procedures and compliance times, see this service information at http:// www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA–2014–
0571.

FAA’s Determination

We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop in other products of these same type designs. Proposed AD Requirements

This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified in the service information described previously.

The phrase ‘‘corrective actions’’ is used in this proposed AD. ‘‘Corrective actions’’ are actions that correct or address any condition found. Corrective actions in an AD could include, for example, repairs. Explanation of ‘‘RC’’ Steps in Service Information

The FAA worked in conjunction with industry, under the Airworthiness Directives Implementation Aviation Rulemaking Committee, to enhance the AD system. One enhancement was a new process for annotating which steps in the service information are required for compliance with an AD. Differentiating these steps from other tasks in the service information is expected to improve an owner’s/ operator’s understanding of crucial AD requirements and help provide consistent judgment in AD compliance. The actions specified in the service information described previously include steps that are labeled as RC (required for compliance) because these steps have a direct effect on detecting, preventing, resolving, or eliminating an identified unsafe condition.

As noted in the specified service information, steps labeled as RC must be done to comply with the proposed AD. However, steps that are not labeled as RC are recommended. Those steps that are not labeled as RC may be deviated from, done as part of other actions, or done using accepted methods different from those identified in the service information without obtaining approval of an AMOC, provided the steps labeled as RC can be done and the airplane can be put back in a serviceable condition. Any substitutions or changes to steps labeled as RC will require approval of an alternative method of compliance. Costs of Compliance

We estimate that this proposed AD affects 139 airplanes of U.S. registry.

We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:



### E STIMATED 

### COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Cost on U.S. operators

Part 1—General visual inspection. Up to 3 work-hours × $85 per hour = $255 ........................... $0 $255 $35,445

Part 2—General visual inspection (Groups 9 and 10). 2 work-hours × 85 per hour = 170 ......................................... 0 170 5,440

Install spray shrouds ............... 3 work-hours × 85 per hour = 255 ......................................... 330 585 81,315

We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements that would be required based on the results of the proposed inspection. We have no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need this replacement:



### O N 

### -CONDITION 

### COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product

Replacement of coupling ................. 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ............................................................ $53 $183

According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this proposed AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost estimate.
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.


### 47599 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 157 / Thursday, August 14, 2014 / Proposed Rules

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),

**Direct Investment Surveys: BE–10, Benchmark Survey of U.S. Direct**  **Investment Abroad**

**AGENCY :**  Bureau of Economic Analysis, Commerce.

**ACTION :**  Notice of proposed rulemaking.

**SUMMARY :**  This proposed rule would amend regulations of the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) to reinstate reporting requirements for the 2014 BE–10, Benchmark Survey of U.S. Direct Investment Abroad. Benchmark surveys are conducted every five years; the prior survey covered 2009. The benchmark survey covers the universe of U.S. direct investment abroad, and is BEA’s most comprehensive survey of such investment in terms of subject matter. For the 2014 benchmark survey, BEA proposes changes in the data items collected. No changes are proposed to the reporting requirements for the survey. This mandatory survey would be conducted under the authority of the International Investment and Trade in Services Survey Act (the Act). Unlike most other BEA surveys conducted pursuant to the Act, a response would
