Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) 

Model 525C airplanes. This emergency 

AD was sent previously to all known 

U.S. owners and operators of these 

airplanes. This AD requires replacing 

certain lithium-ion batteries installed as 

the main aircraft battery with either a 

Ni-Cad or a lead acid battery. This AD 

was prompted by a report of a battery 

fire that resulted after an energized 

ground power unit was connected to 

one of the affected airplanes equipped 

with a lithium-ion battery as the main 

aircraft battery. We are issuing this AD 

to correct the unsafe condition on these 

products. 

DATES: This AD is effective November 1, 

2011 to all persons except those persons 

to whom it was made immediately 

effective by Emergency AD 2011–21–51, 

issued on October 6, 2011, which 

contained the requirements of this 

amendment. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication identified in the 

AD as of November 1, 2011. 

We must receive comments on this 

AD by December 16, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

On October 6, 2011, we issued 

Emergency AD 2011–21–51, which 

requires replacing the lithium-ion main 

aircraft battery, Cessna part number 

(P/N) 9914788–1, with a Ni-Cad or a 

lead acid battery. This emergency AD 

was sent previously to all known U.S. 

owners and operators of these airplanes. 

This action was prompted by a report of 

a battery fire that resulted after an 

energized ground power unit was 

connected to a Cessna Model 525C 

airplane equipped with a lithium-ion 

battery, Cessna P/N 9914788–1, as the 

main aircraft battery. This condition, if 

not corrected, could result in an aircraft 

fire. 

Relevant Service Information 

We reviewed Cessna Citation Service 

Bulletin SB525C–24–05, dated 

September 29, 2011. The service 

information describes procedures for 

replacing lithium-ion main aircraft 

batteries, Cessna P/N 9914788–1, with 

Ni-Cad or lead acid batteries. 

FAA’s Determination 

We are issuing 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 the same 

type design. 

AD Requirements 

This AD requires accomplishing the 

actions specified in the service 

information described previously. 

FAA’s Determination of the Effective 

Date 

An unsafe condition exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

AD. The FAA has found that the risk to 

the flying public justifies waiving notice 

and comment prior to adoption of this 

rule because of a battery fire that 

resulted after an energized ground 

power unit was connected to one of the 

affected airplanes equipped with a 

certain lithium-ion battery as the main 

aircraft battery. If not corrected, this 

condition could lead to an aircraft fire. 

Therefore, we find that notice and 

opportunity for prior public comment 

are impracticable and that good cause 

exists for making this amendment 

effective in less than 30 days. 

Comments Invited 

This AD is a final rule that involves 

requirements affecting flight safety and 

was not preceded by notice and an 

opportunity for public comment. 

However, we invite you to send any 

written data, views, or arguments about 

this AD. Send your comments to an 

address listed under the ADDRESSES

section. Include the docket number 

FAA–2011–1161 and Directorate 

Identifier 2011–CE–036–AD at the 

beginning of your comments. We 

specifically invite comments on the 

overall regulatory, economic, 

environmental, and energy aspects of 

this AD. We will consider all comments 

received by the closing date and may 

amend this AD because of those 

comments. 

We will post all comments we 

receive, without change, to http:// 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information you provide. We 

will also post a report summarizing each 

substantive verbal contact we receive 

about this AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 43 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

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

operators 

Replace the lithium-ion main aircraft battery with a Ni-Cad or a lead acid battery.2.5 work-hours × $85 per hour 

= $212.50.

From $4,314 to 

$7,076.

From $4,526.50 to 

$7,288.50.

From $194,639.50 

to $313,405.50. 

According to the manufacturer, some 

of the costs of this 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 

This AD will not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This AD will 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. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify that this AD: 

(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), 

(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska, and 

(4) 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.

Olympic Coast National Marine 

Sanctuary Regulations Revisions 

AGENCY: Office of National Marine 

Sanctuaries (ONMS), National Ocean 

Service (NOS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Department of Commerce (DOC). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA), the 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (NOAA) has conducted 

a review of the management plan and 

regulations for Olympic Coast National 

Marine Sanctuary (OCNMS or 

sanctuary), located off the outer coast of 

the Olympic Peninsula in the State of 

Washington. As a result of the review, 

NOAA determined that it was necessary 

to revise the sanctuary’s management 

plan and implementing regulations. 

NOAA is revising the OCNMS 

regulations to: Prohibit wastewater 

discharges from cruise ships; clarify the 

language referring to consideration of 

the objectives of the governing bodies of 

Indian tribes when issuing permits; 

correct the size of the sanctuary based 

on new area estimates (without revising 

the sanctuary’s actual boundaries); 

update of definitions; and update 

information such as office location. 

NOAA also makes additional changes to 

the grammar and wording of several 

sections of the regulations to ensure 

clarity and consistency with the NMSA 

and other sanctuaries in the National 

Marine Sanctuary System. 

DATES: Effective date: December 1, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the final 

management plan (FMP) and 

environmental assessment (EA) 

described in this rule and the Finding 

of No Significant Impact (FONSI) are 

available upon request to Olympic Coast 

National Marine Sanctuary, 115 East 

Railroad Avenue, Suite 301, Port 

Angeles, WA 98362, Attn: George 

Galasso. The FMP and EA can also be
