Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 15 / Friday, January 23, 1998 / Rules and Regulations 3455

E. Designation of State Location for

Members With Principal Place of

Business in American Samoa, the

Northern Mariana Islands, or Guam—

Section 932.11(b)

For the reasons discussed above, the

proposed amendment of § 932.11(b)

provided that members with a principal

place of business located in American

Samoa or the Northern Mariana Islands

shall be deemed to be located in Hawaii

for purposes of election of Bank

directors. One commenter specifically

supported this designation. The final

rule adopts the proposed amendment

without change. The final rule also

adopts, without change, the proposed

amendment codifying the Finance

Board’s existing designation of Hawaii

as the State where members with a

principal place of business in Guam are

deemed to be located for director

election purposes.

III. Regulatory Flexibility Act

The final rule implements statutory

requirements binding on all Banks and

on all applicants for Bank membership,

regardless of their size. The Finance

Board is not at liberty to make

adjustments to those requirements to

accommodate small entities. The final

rule does not impose any additional

regulatory requirements that will have a

disproportionate impact on small

entities. Therefore, in accordance with

section 605(b) of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act, see 5 U.S.C. 605(b), the

Finance Board hereby certifies that this

final rule will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities.

IV. Paperwork Reduction Act

The final rule does not contain any

collections of information pursuant to

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

See 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. Consequently,

the Finance Board has not submitted

any information to the Office of

Management and Budget for review.

SUMMARY: This document publishes in

the Federal Register an amendment

adopting Airworthiness Directive (AD)

98–01–01, which was sent previously to

all known U.S. owners and operators of

certain Cessna Aircraft Company

(Cessna) Models 172R and 182S

airplanes. This AD requires fabricating

and installing placards to prohibit

operation in instrument flight rules

(IFR) conditions and use of the alternate

static air source; inspecting the alternate

static air source valve to assure that the

alternate static air source port is not

restricted by the identification placard

and to assure that the valve body does

not separate from the valve flange; and

reworking or replacing as necessary.

The AD was the result of reports of

improper installation of the

identification placard on the alternate

static air source. The actions specified

by this AD are intended to prevent

erroneous indications from the

altimeter, airspeed, and vertical speed

indicators, which could cause the pilot

to react to incorrect flight information

and possibly result in loss of control of

the airplane.

DATES: Effective February 2, 1998, to all

persons except those to whom it was

made immediately effective by priority

letter AD 98–01–01, issued December

22, 1997, which contained the

requirements of this amendment.

The incorporation by reference of

certain publications listed in the

regulations is approved by the Director
3456 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 15 / Friday, January 23, 1998 / Rules and Regulations

of the Federal Register as of February 2,

1998.

Comments for inclusion in the Rules

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

On December 22, 1997, the FAA

issued priority letter AD 98–01–01,

which applies to Cessna Models 172R

and 182S airplanes. That AD resulted

from reports of improper installation of

the identification placard on the

alternate static air source. This placard

was installed on the valve body in a

location that covers the external orifice,

which is the inlet for static air reference

into the valve.

Cessna discovered the problem during

a preflight static check on a Model 172R

airplane. Further investigation and a

purge of stock at the manufacturing

facility revealed 21 valve assemblies

having the identification placard

installed over the static air reference

orifice. Cessna has no way of verifying

how many of these assemblies were

manufactured and sent to the field with

the identification placard installed over

the static air reference orifice.

Several of these assemblies have been

identified and corrected on the abovereferenced airplanes. The FAA has no

way of determining which airplanes

have the remaining problem alternate

static air source assemblies installed

without having all of the affected

airplanes inspected.

These assemblies are required for

flight into instrument flight rules (IFR)

conditions as defined in § 91.411 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

91.411). Use of these assemblies is

optional in visual flight rules (VFR)

conditions.

If these assemblies are not identified

and reworked or replaced, selection of

the alternate air source will cause the

altimeter, airspeed, and vertical speed

indicators to display erroneous

indications. This could cause the pilot

to react to incorrect flight information

and possibly result in loss of control of

the airplane.

Relevant Service Information

Cessna has issued Service Bulletin

No. SB97–34–02, Revision 1, dated

December 22, 1997, which includes:

—Procedures for inspecting the

alternate static air source valve to

assure that the alternate static air

source port is not restricted by the

identification placard and to assure

that the valve body does not separate

from the valve flange;

—Procedures for reworking the alternate

static air source valve if the port is

restricted; and

—Reference to replacing the alternate

static air valve assembly if the valve

body separates from the valve flange

in accordance with the maintenance

manual.

Cessna is providing warranty credit

for both labor and parts for required

inspections, reworks, and replacements.

The FAA’s Determination and

Explanation of the AD

Since an unsafe condition has been

identified that is likely to exist or

develop in other Cessna Models 172R

and 182S of the same type design, the

FAA issued priority letter AD 98–01–01

to prevent erroneous indications from

the altimeter, airspeed, and vertical

speed indicators, which could cause the

pilot to react to incorrect flight

information and possibly result in loss

of control of the airplane. The AD

requires the following:

—Immediately fabricating placards that

prohibit operation in IFR conditions

and prohibit use of the alternate static

air source, and installing these

placards in the cockpit within the

pilot’s clear view;

—Eventually inspecting the alternate

static air source valve to assure that

the alternate static air source port is

not restricted by the identification

placard and to assure that the valve

body does not separate from the valve

flange;

—Reworking the alternate static air

source assembly if the port is

restricted; and

—Replacing the alternate static air

source assembly if the valve body

separates from the valve flange.

Accomplishment of the inspection

and rework is required in accordance

with the previously referenced service

information. Accomplishment of the

replacement is required in accordance

with the applicable maintenance

manual.

Determination of the Effective Date of

the AD

Since it was found that immediate

corrective action was required, notice

and opportunity for prior public

comment thereon were impracticable

and contrary to the public interest, and

good cause existed to make the AD

effective immediately by individual

letters issued on December 22, 1997, to

all known U.S. operators of certain

Cessna Models 172R and 182S

airplanes. These conditions still exist,

and the AD is hereby published in the

Federal Register as an amendment to

section 39.13 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR 39.13) to make it

effective as to all persons.

Comments Invited

Although this action is in the form of

a final rule that involves requirements

affecting immediate flight safety and,

thus, was not preceded by notice and

opportunity to comment, comments are

invited on this rule. Interested persons

are invited to comment on this rule by

submitting such written data, views, or

arguments as they may desire.

Communications should identify the

Rules Docket number and be submitted

in triplicate to the address specified

above. All communications received on

or before the closing date for comments

will be considered, and this rule may be

amended in light of the comments

received. Factual information that

supports the commenter’s ideas and

suggestions is extremely helpful in

evaluating the effectiveness of the AD

action and determining whether

additional rulemaking action would be

needed.

Comments are specifically invited on

the overall regulatory, economic,

environmental, and energy aspects of

the rule that might suggest a need to

modify the rule. All comments

submitted will be available, both before

and after the closing date for comments,

in the Rules Docket for examination by

interested persons. A report that

summarizes each FAA-public contact

concerned with the substance of this AD

will be filed in the Rules Docket.

Commenters wishing the FAA to

acknowledge receipt of their comments

submitted in response to this rule must

submit a self-addressed, stamped

postcard on which the following

statement is made: ‘‘Comments to

Docket No. 97–CE–150–AD.’’ The
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 15 / Friday, January 23, 1998 / Rules and Regulations 3457

postcard will be date stamped and

returned to the commenter.

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.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation is an emergency regulation

that must be issued immediately to

correct an unsafe condition in aircraft,

and is not a ‘‘significant regulatory

action’’ under Executive Order 12866. It

has been determined further that this

action involves an emergency regulation

under DOT Regulatory Policies and

Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26,

1979). If it is determined that this

emergency regulation otherwise would

be significant under DOT Regulatory

Policies and Procedures, a final

regulatory evaluation will be prepared

and placed in the Rules Docket. A copy

of it, if filed, may be obtained from the

Rules Docket at the location provided

under the caption ADDRESSES.

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts a

new airworthiness directive (AD) that is

applicable to certain Boeing Model 777–

200 series airplanes. This action

requires repetitive visual inspections to

determine the presence and condition of

the nut and cotter pin of the lock link

mechanism on the side struts and drag

struts on the main landing gear (MLG);

and corrective action, if necessary. This

amendment is prompted by reports of

missing or damaged components on the

lock link mechanism. The actions

specified in this AD are intended to

prevent failure of the lock link

mechanism to lock the MLG in the

down position, and consequent collapse

of the MLG during ground operation.

DATES: Effective February 9, 1998.

The incorporation by reference of

certain publications listed in the

regulations is approved by the Director

of the Federal Register as of February 9,

1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Boeing

has advised the FAA of the recent

discovery of discrepancies of the lock

link mechanism on the side struts and

drag struts on the main landing gear

(MLG) on several Model 777–200 series

airplanes. The discrepancies included

missing cotter pins, a missing cotter pin

and nut with the bolt migrating out of

the joint, and a cotter pin migrating

from the bolt end through the nut. Such

discrepancies, if not corrected, could

result in failure of the lock link

mechanism to lock the MLG in the

down position, and consequent collapse

of the MLG during ground operation.

Explanation of Relevant Service

Information

The FAA has reviewed and approved

Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 777–

32A0015, dated September 4, 1997,

which describes procedures for

repetitive visual inspections to

determine the presence and condition of

the nut and cotter pin of the lock link

mechanism on the side struts and drag

struts on the left- and right-hand MLG.

The alert service bulletin also describes

procedures for corrective action for

missing or damaged parts.

Explanation of the Requirements of the

Rule

Since an unsafe condition has been

identified that is likely to exist or

develop on other Boeing Model 777–200

series airplanes of the same type design,

this AD requires accomplishment of the

actions specified in the alert service

bulletin described previously.

Interim Action

This is considered to be interim

action until final action is identified, at

which time the FAA may consider

further rulemaking.

Determination of Rule’s Effective Date

Since a situation exists that requires

the immediate adoption of this

regulation, it is found that notice and

opportunity for prior public comment

hereon are impracticable, and that good

cause exists for making this amendment

effective in less than 30 days.

Comments Invited

Although this action is in the form of

a final rule that involves requirements

affecting flight safety and, thus, was not

preceded by notice and an opportunity

for public comment, comments are

invited on this rule. Interested persons

are invited to comment on this rule by

submitting such written data, views, or

arguments as they may desire.

Communications shall identify the

Rules Docket number and be submitted

in triplicate to the address specified

under the caption ADDRESSES. All

communications received on or before

the closing date for comments will be

considered, and this rule may be

amended in light of the comments

received. Factual information that

supports the commenter’s ideas and

suggestions is extremely helpful in

evaluating the effectiveness of the AD

action and determining whether

additional rulemaking action would be

needed.

Comments are specifically invited on

the overall regulatory, economic,

environmental, and energy aspects of

the rule that might suggest a need to

modify the rule. All comments

submitted will be available, both before

and after the closing date for comments,

in the Rules Docket for examination by

interested persons. A report that

summarizes each FAA-public contact

concerned with the substance of this AD

will be filed in the Rules Docket.

Commenters wishing the FAA to

acknowledge receipt of their comments

submitted in response to this rule must

submit a self-addressed, stamped

postcard on which the following

statement is made: ‘‘Comments to

Docket Number 97–NM–335–AD.’’ The
