AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This amendment supersedes

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 93–10–11,

which currently requires installing an

inspection opening in the wing,

repetitively inspecting the upper wing

spar cap for cracks, and repairing any

cracks on all Avions Mudry et Cie

(Avions) Model CAP 10B airplanes. This

AD will retain the same actions already

required by AD 93–10–11, and will add

inspecting, and repairing if necessary,

the lower surface of the wing spar. This

AD is the result of mandatory

continuing airworthiness information

(MCAI) issued by the airworthiness

authority for France. The actions

specified by this AD are intended to

prevent structural cracks in the wing

spar, which could lead to loss of a wing

and loss of control of the airplane.

DATES: Effective July 17, 1998.

The incorporation by reference of

Avions Mudry & Cie Service Bulletin

CAP10B No. 16 (ATA 57–004), dated

April 27, 1992, as listed in the

regulations, was previously approved by

the Director of the Federal Register, as

of July 23, 1993 (58 FR 31342, June 2,

1993).

The incorporation by reference of

certain publications listed in the

regulations is approved by the Director

of the Federal Register as of July 17,

1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Events Leading to the Issuance of This

AD

A proposal to amend part 39 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 39) to include an AD that would

apply to all Avions Model CAP 10B

airplanes was published in the Federal

Register as a notice of proposed

rulemaking (NPRM) on March 26, 1998

(63 FR 14660). The proposed AD would

supersede AD 93–10–11, Amendment

39–8592 (58 FR 31342, June 2, 1993)

with a new AD that would require

installing an inspection opening in the

wing, repetitively inspecting the upper

and lower wing spars for structural

cracking, and if any cracks are found,

repairing the cracks in accordance with

a repair method provided by the
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 109 / Monday, June 8, 1998 /Rules and Regulations 31105

manufacturer through the FAA. The

difference between the actions proposed

in the NPRM and AD 93–10–11 is the

addition of the inspections and possible

repairs of the lower wing spar.

Accomplishment of the proposed

action as specified in the NPRM would

be in accordance with Avions Mudry &

Cie Service Bulletin No. 15, CAP10B–

57–003, Revision 1, dated April 3, 1996,

and Avions SB CAP 10B No. 16 (ATA

57–004), dated April 27, 1992.

The NPRM was the result of

mandatory continuing airworthiness

information (MCAI) issued by the

airworthiness authority for France.

Interested persons have been afforded

an opportunity to participate in the

making of this amendment. No

comments were received on the

proposed rule or the FAA’s

determination of the cost to the public.

The FAA’s Determination

After careful review of all available

information related to the subject

presented above, the FAA has

determined that air safety and the

public interest require the adoption of

the rule as proposed except for minor

editorial corrections. The FAA has

determined that these minor corrections

will not change the meaning of the AD

and will not add any additional burden

upon the public than was already

proposed.

Cost Impact

The FAA estimates that 37 airplanes

in the U.S. registry will be affected by

this AD, that it will take approximately

5 workhours per airplane to accomplish

this action, and that the average labor

rate is approximately $60 an hour.

Based on these figures, the total cost

impact of this AD on U.S. operators is

estimated to be $11,100, or $300 per

airplane.

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 copy of the final

evaluation prepared for this action is

contained in the Rules Docket. A copy

of it may be obtained by contacting the

Rules Docket at the location provided

under the caption ADDRESSES.

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 (e) 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 in the

body of this AD, unless already

accomplished.

To prevent structural cracks in the wing

spars, which could lead to loss of a wing and

loss of control of the airplane, accomplish the

following:

(a) For airplanes having a serial number of

263 or lower, within the next 100 hours timein-service (TIS) after July 23, 1993 (the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Events Leading to the Issuance of This

AD

A proposal to amend part 39 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 39) to include an AD that would

apply to certain I.A.M. Model Piaggio P–

180 airplanes was published in the

Federal Register as a notice of proposed

rulemaking (NPRM) on March 2, 1998

(63 FR 10157). The NPRM proposed to

require modifying the low pitch stop

switch support. Accomplishment of the

proposed action as specified in the

NPRM would be in accordance with

I.A.M. Piaggio Service Bulletin

(Mandatory) No. SB–80–0080, dated

July 3, 1997.

The NPRM was the result of

mandatory continuing airworthiness

information (MCAI) issued by the

airworthiness authority for Italy.

Interested persons have been afforded

an opportunity to participate in the

making of this amendment. No

comments were received on the

proposed rule or the FAA’s

determination of the cost to the public.

The FAA’s Determination

After careful review of all available

information related to the subject

presented above, the FAA has

determined that air safety and the

public interest require the adoption of

the rule as proposed except for minor

editorial corrections. The FAA has

determined that these minor corrections

will not change the meaning of the AD

and will not add any additional burden

upon the public than was already

proposed.

Cost Impact

The FAA estimates that 5 airplanes in

the U.S. registry will be affected by this

AD, that it will take approximately 6

workhours per airplane to accomplish

this action, and that the average labor

rate is approximately $60 an hour. Parts

cost approximately $100 per airplane.

Based on these figures, the total cost

impact of this AD on U.S. operators is

estimated to be $2,300, or $460 per

airplane.

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,
