Airworthiness Directives; Dassault

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Dassault Aviation Model FAN JET 

FALCON, FAN JET FALCON SERIES C, 

D, E, F, and G airplanes; Model 

MYSTERE–FALCON 200 airplanes; and 

Model MYSTERE–FALCON 20–C5, 20– 

D5, 20–E5, and 20–F5 airplanes. This 

proposed AD was prompted by reports 

of defective fire extinguisher tubes. It 

was determined the defects were caused 

by corrosion. This proposed AD would 

require repetitive general visual 

inspections of the fire extinguisher 

tubes for cracking and corrosion, and 

replacement of any cracked tube with a 

serviceable tube, if necessary. We are 

proposing this AD to detect and correct 

cracking and corrosion in the fire 

extinguisher tubes, which could impact 

the capability to extinguish an engine 

fire, and possibly result in damage to 

the airplane and injury to the 

passengers. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by June 18, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following 

methods:

Discussion 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Union, has issued Airworthiness 

Directive 2013–0299, dated December 

19, 2013 (referred to after this as the 

Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness 

Information, or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct 

an unsafe condition for all Dassault 

Aviation Model FAN JET FALCON, 

FAN JET FALCON SERIES C, D, E, F, 

and G airplanes; Model MYSTERE– 

FALCON 200 airplanes; and Model 

MYSTERE–FALCON 20–C5, 20–D5, 20– 

E5, and 20–F5 airplanes. The MCAI 

states: 

Several defective extinguisher tubes have 

been reported on certain Dassault Aviation 

Fan Jet Falcon aeroplanes. The results of the 

investigations concluded that these 

occurrences were caused by corrosion. 

This condition, if not detected and 

corrected, could impact the capability to 

extinguish an engine fire, possibly resulting 

in damage to the aeroplane and injury to the 

occupants. 

For the reason described above, this 

[EASA] AD requires repetitive [general 

visual] inspections [for cracking and 

corrosion] of the fire extinguisher tubes and, 

depending on findings, the replacement of an 

affected part with a serviceable part 

(improved fire extinguisher tube). It also 

proposes the replacement of those tubes with 

the ‘‘old Part Number’’ (P/N) with a 

serviceable part with the new P/N as a 

terminating action. In addition, this [EASA] 

AD prohibits installation of an affected tube 

on an aeroplane. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket on the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating Docket No. FAA–2015– 

0934. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This Proposed AD 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country, and is approved for operation 

in the United States. Pursuant to our 

bilateral agreement with the State of 

Design Authority, we have been notified 

of the unsafe condition described in the 

MCAI and service information 

referenced above. We are proposing this 

AD because we evaluated all pertinent 

information and determined an unsafe 

condition exists and is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 170 airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 4 work-hours per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this proposed AD. The average labor 

rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on 

these figures, we estimate the cost of 

this proposed AD on U.S. operators to 

be $57,800, or $340 per product. 

We have received no definitive data 

that would enable us to provide cost 

estimates for the on-condition actions 

specified in this proposed AD. 

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 

We determined that this proposed AD 

would not have federalism implications 

under Executive Order 13132. This 

proposed AD would 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 this proposed regulation: 

1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866; 

2. Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the 

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. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference, 

Safety. 

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part

Chukchi Sea, Alaska 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes a 

safety zone that extends 500 meters 

from the outer edge of the DRILLSHIP 

NOBLE DISCOVERER, as well as 500 

meters from those points, suitably 

marked by a buoy, where the 

DRILLSHIP NOBLE DISCOVERER’s 

mooring spread meets the ocean’s 

surface. This safety zone would be in 

effect both when the DRILLSHIP NOBLE 

DISCOVERER is anchored and when 

deploying and recovering moorings. As 

a result, the size and shape of the safety 

zone will vary, depending on how far 

from the vessel the mooring spread is 

deployed, which is expected to be no 

more than 1,000 meters. This safety 

zone would be in effect when the 

DRILLSHIP NOBLE DISCOVERER is on
