AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an 

existing airworthiness directive (AD), 

which applies to certain BEECH Model 

400, 400A, and MU–300–10 airplanes. 

That AD currently requires installation 

of an improved adjustment mechanism 

on the flightcrew seats and replacement 

of the existing aluminum seat 

reinforcement assemblies with steel 

assemblies. This new AD would add 

airplanes to the applicability of the 

existing AD. This AD results from 

reports of incomplete latching of the 

existing adjustment mechanism and 

cracked reinforcement assemblies, 

which could result in sudden shifting of 

a flightcrew seat. We are issuing this AD 

to prevent sudden shifting of a 

flightcrew seat, which could impair the 

flightcrew’s ability to control the 

airplane. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective April 

30, 2009. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of April 30, 2009. 

The Director of the Federal Register

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

The FAA issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that 

supersedes AD 96–03–07, amendment 

39–9504 (61 FR 5275, February 12, 

1996). The existing AD applies to 

certain BEECH Model 400, 400A, and 

MU–300–10 airplanes. That NPRM was 

published in the Federal Register on 

October 31, 2008 (73 FR 64899). That 

NPRM proposed to continue to require 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 57 / Thursday, March 26, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 13085 

installation of an improved adjustment 

mechanism on the flightcrew seats and 

replacement of the existing aluminum 

seat reinforcement assemblies with steel 

assemblies. That NPRM also proposed 

to require the actions on additional 

airplanes. 

Comments 

We provided the public the 

opportunity to participate in the 

development of this AD. No comments 

have been received on the NPRM or on 

the determination of the cost to the 

public. 

Explanation of Changes to NPRM 

The product identification and 

paragraph (c) of the NPRM have been 

revised to correspond to the identity of 

the type certificate holder and model 

designation for the affected airplanes. 

We have re-identified Note 1 as 

paragraph (h) in this final rule to 

emphasize that if deviations occur from 

the instructions provided in Raytheon 

Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 25–2536, 

Revision 2, dated March 2002, an 

alternative method of compliance must 

be requested under the provisions of 

paragraph (i) of this AD. We have reidentified subsequent paragraphs 

accordingly. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the available data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting the AD 

with the changes described previously. 

We also determined that these changes 

will not increase the economic burden 

on any operator or increase the scope of 

the AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

The actions specified by this AD were 

previously required by AD 96–03–07, 

which was applicable to approximately 

121 airplanes. The actions required by 

that AD take about 24 work-hours per 

airplane at $80 per work-hour. Required 

parts cost up to $7,433 per airplane. 

Based on these figures, we estimate the 

cost of the current requirements of that 

AD on U.S. operators to be up to 

$1,131,713, or $9,353 per airplane. In 

consideration of the compliance time 

and effective date of AD 96–03–07, we 

assume that operators of the 121 

airplanes subject to that AD have 

already initiated the required actions. 

This AD adds no new costs associated 

with those airplanes. 

This AD applies to approximately 76 

additional airplanes. The existing 

actions required by this AD take about 

24 work-hours per airplane. The 

manufacturer has updated the cost of 

required parts; the required parts now 

cost up to $24,474 per airplane. Based 

on the figures discussed above, we 

estimate the current costs of the existing 

actions required by this AD on U.S. 

operators of the additional airplanes to 

be up to $2,005,944. This figure is based 

on assumptions that no operator of these 

additional airplanes has yet done any of 

the requirements of this AD, and that no 

operator would do those actions in the 

future if this AD were not adopted. 

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 have determined that 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); 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. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this AD and placed it in the AD docket. 

See the ADDRESSES section for a location 

to examine the regulatory evaluation.

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above. This AD results 

from mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated by an aviation authority of 

another country to identify and correct 

an unsafe condition on an aviation 

product. The MCAI describes the unsafe 

condition as: 

Following in-flight test deployments, 

several Air-Driven generators (ADGs) failed 

to come on-line. Investigation revealed that, 

as a result of a wiring anomaly that had not 

been detected during ADG manufacture, a 

short circuit was possible between certain 

internal wires and their metallic over-braided 

shields, which could result in the ADG not 

providing power when deployed. * * * 

The unsafe condition is that failure of 

the ADG could lead to loss of several 

functions essential for safe flight. We are 

issuing this AD to require actions to 

correct the unsafe condition on these 

products. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective April 

30, 2009. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of April 30, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed

part 39 to include an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. That 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on May 7, 2008 (73 FR 25612). 

That NPRM proposed to correct an 

unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states:
