Energy Conservation Program for 

Certain Commercial and Industrial 

Equipment: Test Procedure for 

Commercial Packaged Boilers 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Request for information (RFI); 

reopening of the comment period. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE) has initiated a rulemaking 

and data collection process to consider 

amendments to DOE’s test procedures 

for commercial packaged boilers, 

starting with an RFI published in the 

Federal Register on February 20, 2014. 

As part of that process, DOE is 

considering the potential for adoption of 

part-load efficiency measurement as 

part of this test procedure rulemaking 

and welcomes comment on a variety of 

related issues. Due to technical 

difficulties with the email address for 

the RFI, this document announces a 

new email address to submit comments, 

data, and information, and reopens the 

comment period through April 16, 2014. 

DATES: DOE will accept written 

comments, data, and information 

regarding the test procedure for 

commercial packaged boilers published 

February 20, 2014 (79 FR 9643) received 

on or before April 16, 2014.

encouraged to submit comments 

electronically. However, interested 

persons may submit written comments,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

February 20, 2014, DOE published a 

notice in the Federal Register 

announcing a request for information 

about test procedures for commercial 

packaged boilers. 79 FR 9643. The 

notice requested that comments, data, 

and information be submitted to 

CommPackagedBoilers2014TP0006@

ee.doe.gov on or before the close of the 

comment period March 24, 2014. Due to 

technical difficulties associated with the 

rulemaking inbox established in the 

Federal Register notice and in order to 

provide interested parties with an 

adequate opportunity to submit their 

comments and related information, DOE 

has established a new email address 

where interested parties may submit 

comments to commercial_packaged_

boilers@ee.doe.gov and has determined 

that it is appropriate to reopen the 

comment period. Accordingly, DOE is 

hereby reopening the comment period 

and will consider any comments 

received on or before April 16, 2014 to 

be timely submitted. DOE continues to 

seek comment on a variety of issues it 

has identified; these issues mainly

concern part-load operation and 

efficiency, appropriate operating 

conditions both for part-load and fullload operation, and the integration of 

part-load measurements into the 

applicable energy efficiency metric. 

Although DOE welcomes comment on 

all aspects of its test procedure, DOE is 

particularly interested in receiving 

comments and data from stakeholders 

and the public on these topics.

RIN 2120–AA64 

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus 

Airplanes 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede 

airworthiness directive (AD) 2011–17– 

08, which applies to all Airbus Model 

A330–200 series airplanes, Model 

A330–200 Freighter series airplanes, 

and Model A330–300 series airplanes. 

AD 2011–17–08 currently requires 

revising the maintenance program by 

incorporating certain Airworthiness 

Limitation Items (ALIs). Since we issued 

AD 2011–17–08, Airbus has revised a 

certain ALI document, which specifies 

more restrictive instructions and/or 

airworthiness limitations. This 

proposed AD would revise the 

maintenance or inspection program, as 

applicable, to incorporate new or 

revised structural inspection 

requirements. We are proposing this AD 

to detect and correct fatigue cracking, 

damage, and corrosion in certain 

structure, which could result in reduced 

structural integrity of the airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by May 23, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by 

any of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to 

http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments. 

• Fax: (202) 493–2251. 

• Mail: U.S. Department of 

Transportation, Docket Operations, M– 

30, West Building Ground Floor, Room 

W12–140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., 

Washington, DC 20590. 

• Hand Delivery: U.S. Department of 

Transportation, Docket Operations, M– 

30, West Building Ground Floor, Room 

W12–140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., 

Washington, DC, between 9 a.m. and 5 

p.m., Monday through Friday, except 

Federal holidays.

ADDRESSES section. Include ‘‘Docket No. 

FAA–2014–0190; Directorate Identifier 

2012–NM–188–AD’’ at the beginning of 

your comments. We specifically invite 

comments on the overall regulatory, 

economic, environmental, and energy 

aspects of this proposed AD. We will

Discussion 

On August 2, 2011, we issued AD 

2011–17–08, Amendment 39–16772 (76 

FR 53303, August 26, 2011), which 

superseded AD 2006–09–07, 

Amendment 39–14577 (71 FR 25919, 

May 3, 2006). AD 2011–17–08 required 

actions intended to address an unsafe 

condition on the products listed above. 

Since we issued AD 2011–17–08, 

Amendment 39–16772 (76 FR 53303, 

August 26, 2011), the European 

Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which 

is the Technical Agent for the Member 

States of the European Community, has 

issued EASA Airworthiness Directive 

2012–0211, dated October 12, 2012 

(referred to after this as the Mandatory 

Continuing Airworthiness Information, 

or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe 

condition for the specified products. 

The MCAI states: 

The airworthiness limitations are currently 

defined and published in the Airbus A330 

Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS). 

The airworthiness limitations applicable to 

the Damage Tolerant Airworthiness 

Limitation Items (DT ALI) are currently 

specified in Airbus A330 ALI, Airbus 

Document reference AI/SE–M4/95A.0089/97, 

which is approved by EASA and referenced 

in Airbus ALS Part 2. 

Issue 19 of the Airbus A330 ALI Document 

introduces more restrictive maintenance 

requirements and/or airworthiness 

limitations. Failure to comply with the 

relevant instructions could result in an 

unsafe condition. 

For the reasons described above, this 

[EASA] AD retains the requirements of EASA 

AD 2010–0174 [http://ad.easa.europa.eu/

blob/easa_ad_2010_0174_superseded.pdf/

AD_2010–0174_1] [which corresponds to 

FAA AD 2011–17–08, Amendment 39–16772 

(76 FR 53303, August 26, 2011)], which is 

superseded, and requires the implementation 

of the new or more restrictive maintenance 

instructions and/or airworthiness limitations 

as specified in Airbus A330 ALI Document 

reference AI/SE–M4/95A.0089/97 issue 19. 

The unsafe condition is fatigue 

cracking, damage, and corrosion in 

certain structure, which could result in 

reduced structural integrity of the 

airplane. You may examine the MCAI in 

the AD docket on the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating it in Docket No. FAA– 

2014–0190.
