Airworthiness Directives; Dornier

Model 328–100 Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts a

new airworthiness directive (AD),

applicable to certain Dornier Model

328–100 series airplanes, that requires

modification of the aft avionic fan. This

amendment is prompted by issuance of

mandatory continuing airworthiness

information by a foreign civil

airworthiness authority. The actions

specified by this AD are intended to

prevent failure of the aft avionic fan due

to inadequate cooling airflow through

the fan housing, which could result in

failure of the avionics equipment.

DATES: Effective June 19, 1998.

The incorporation by reference of

certain publications listed in the

regulations is approved by the Director

of the Federal Register as of June 19,

1998.

ADDRESSES: The service information

referenced in this AD may be obtained

from FAIRCHILD DORNIER, DORNIER

Luftfahrt GmbH, P.O. Box 1103, D–

82230 Wessling, Germany. This

information may be examined at the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A

proposal to amend part 39 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to

include an airworthiness directive (AD)

that is applicable to certain Dornier

Model 328–100 series airplanes was

published in the Federal Register on

March 12, 1998 (63 FR 12042). That

action proposed to require modification

of the aft avionic fan.

Comments

Interested persons have been afforded

an opportunity to participate in the

making of this amendment. No

comments were submitted in response

to the proposal or the FAA’s

determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

The FAA has determined that air

safety and the public interest require the

adoption of the rule as proposed.

Cost Impact

The FAA estimates that 50 airplanes

of U.S. registry will be affected by this

AD, that it will take approximately 9

work hours per airplane to accomplish

the required modification, at an average

labor rate of $60 per work hour. Based

on these figures, the cost impact of the

modification required by this AD on

U.S. operators is estimated to be

$27,000, or $540 per airplane.

The cost impact figure discussed

above is based on assumptions that no

operator has yet accomplished any of

the requirements of this AD action, and

that no operator would accomplish

those actions in the future if this AD

were not adopted.

Regulatory Impact

The regulations adopted herein will

not have substantial direct effects 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. Therefore, in

accordance with Executive Order 12612,

it is determined that this final rule does

not have sufficient federalism

implications to warrant the preparation

of a Federalism Assessment.

For the reasons discussed above, I

certify that this action (1) is not a

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under

Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a

‘‘significant rule’’ under 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. A final evaluation has

been prepared for this action and it is

contained in the Rules Docket. A copy

of it may be obtained from the Rules

Docket at the location provided under

the caption ADDRESSES.

2. Section 39.13 is amended by

adding the following new airworthiness

directive:

Applicability: Model 328–100 series

airplanes, as listed in Dornier Service

Bulletin SB–328–21–215, Revision 1, dated

June 12, 1997; certificated in any category.

Note 1: This AD applies to each airplane

identified in the preceding applicability

provision, regardless of whether it has been

modified, altered, or repaired in the area

subject to the requirements of this AD. For

airplanes that have been modified, altered, or

repaired so that the performance of the

requirements of this AD is affected, the

owner/operator must request approval for an

alternative method of compliance in

accordance with paragraph (b) of this AD.

The request should include an assessment of

the effect of the modification, alteration, or

repair on the unsafe condition addressed by

this AD; and, if the unsafe condition has not

been eliminated, the request should include

specific proposed actions to address it.

Compliance: Required as indicated, unless

accomplished previously.

To prevent failure of the aft avionic fan due

to inadequate cooling airflow through the fan

housing, which could result in failure of the

avionics equipment, accomplish the

following:

(a) Within 3 months after the effective date

of this AD, modify the aft avionic fan in

accordance with Dornier Service Bulletin

SB–328–21–215, Revision 1, dated June 12,

1997.

(b) An alternative method of compliance or

adjustment of the compliance time that

provides an acceptable level of safety may be

used if approved by the Manager,

International Branch, ANM–116, FAA,

Transport Airplane Directorate. Operators

shall submit their request through an

appropriate FAA Principal Maintenance

Inspector, who may add comments and then

send it to the Manager, International Branch,

ANM–116.

Note 2: Information concerning the

existence of approved alternative methods of

compliance with this AD, if any, may be

obtained from the International Branch,

(c) Special flight permits may be issued in

accordance with sections 21.197 and 21.199

of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

21.197 and 21.199) to operate the airplane to

a location where the requirements of this AD

can be accomplished.

(d) The modification shall be done in

accordance with Dornier Service Bulletin

SB–328–21–215, Revision 1, dated June 12,

1997. This incorporation by reference was

approved by the Director of the Federal

Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a)

Establishment of Class E Airspace;

Martin, SD

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class

E airspace at Martin, SD. A Global

Positioning System (GPS) Standard

Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP)

to Runway (Rwy) 32 has been developed

for Martin Municipal Airport.

Controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 to 1200 feet above ground

level (AGL) is needed to contain aircraft

executing the approach. This action

creates controlled airspace with a 6.7-

mile radius for Martin Municipal

Airport.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, August 13,

1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On Thursday, March 12, 1998, the

FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71

to establish Class E airspace at Martin,

SD (63 FR 12044). The proposal was to

add controlled airspace extending

upward from 700 to 1200 feet AGL to

contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)

operations in controlled airspace during

portions of the terminal operation and

while transiting between the enroute

and terminal environments.

Interested parties were invited to

participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA.

No comments objecting to the proposal

were received. Class E airspace

designations for airspace areas

extending upward from 700 feet or more

above the surface of the earth are

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA

Order 7400.9E dated September 10,

1997, and effective September 16, 1997,

which is incorporated by reference in 14

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace

designation listed in this document will

be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71

establishes Class E airspace at Martin,

SD, to accommodate aircraft executing

the proposed GPS Rwy 32 SIAP at

Martin Municipal Airport by creating

controlled airspace for the airport.

Controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 to 1200 feet AGL is needed to

contain aircraft executing the approach.

The area would be depicted on

appropriate aeronautical charts.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation only involves an established

body of technical regulations for which

frequent and routine amendments are

necessary to keep them operationally

current. Therefore, this regulation—(1)

is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3)

does not warrant preparation of a

Regulatory Evaluation as the anticipated

impact is so minimal. Since this is a

routine matter that will only affect air

traffic procedures and air navigation, it

is certified that this rule will not have

a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.
