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 all Honeywell FMSs 

served by Honeywell NZ–2000 

navigation computers and IC–800 

integrated avionics computers. That AD 

currently requires identifying affected 

computers by part number and software 

modification level and revising the 

Limitations section of applicable 

airplane flight manuals to provide 

procedures for retaining optimum 

position determination and intended 

navigation. This new AD requires 

upgrading new software, which 

terminates the existing requirements. 

This AD results from reports of in-flight 

unannunciated shifts of computed 

position in airplanes with the subject 

FMS computers. We are issuing this AD 

to prevent a shift in the FMS computed 

position, which could result in 

uncommanded deviations from the 

intended flight path of the airplane, and, 

if those deviations are undetected by the 

flight crew, compromised terrain/traffic 

avoidance. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective May 

14, 2009. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in the AD 

as of May 14, 2009. 

On April 18, 2007 (72 FR 15818, April 

3, 2007), the Director of the Federal 

Register approved the incorporation by 

reference of Honeywell Technical 

Newsletter A23–6111–008, Revision 

001, dated February 22, 2007.

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 2007–07–12, amendment 

39–15009 (72 FR 15818, April 3, 2007). 

The existing AD applies to all 

Honeywell FMSs served by Honeywell 

NZ–2000 navigation computers and IC– 

800 integrated avionics computers. That 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on August 21, 2008 (73 FR 

49368). That NPRM proposed to retain 

the existing requirements of identifying 

affected airplanes by part numbers/ 

modification levels and revising the 

Limitations section of the airplane flight 

manual. That NPRM also proposed to 

require uploading new software, which 

would terminate the existing 

requirements. 

Actions Since NPRM Was Issued 

Since we issued the NPRM, 

Honeywell has published Alert Service 

Bulletin 7017300–22–A6112, Revision 

001, dated February 7, 2008. In the 

NPRM, we referred to Honeywell Alert 

Service Bulletin 7017300–22–A6112, 

dated June 22, 2007, as the appropriate 

source of service information for 

accomplishing the proposed actions. 

The procedures in Revision 001 of this 

service bulletin are essentially the same 

as those in the original issue of this 

service bulletin. Revision 001 of this 

service bulletin includes instructions to 

load software onboard as an alternative 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with RULES

16122 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 67 / Thursday, April 9, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

to sending the unit to a service center 

to have the software loaded. 

Therefore, we have revised this AD to 

refer to Honeywell Alert Service 

Bulletin 7017300–22–A6112, Revision 

001, dated February 7, 2008, as the 

appropriate source of service 

information. We have also added a new 

paragraph (i) to this AD that specifies 

that actions done before the effective 

date of this AD in accordance with 

Honeywell Alert Service Bulletin 

7017300–22–A6112, dated June 22, 

2007, are acceptable for compliance 

with the requirements of this AD and reidentified subsequent paragraphs. 

Comments 

We provided the public the 

opportunity to participate in the 

development of this AD. We have 

considered the comments that have 

been received on the NPRM. 

Request To Remove References to 

Service Bulletin 

Honeywell requests that we remove 

the references to Honeywell Service 

Bulletin 7018879–34–6061, Revision 

001, dated January 21, 2008, from the 

NPRM because the service 

modifications identified in this service 

bulletin are not affected by the 

identified unsafe condition and the 

modification works correctly. 

We agree that Honeywell Service 

Bulletin 7018879–34–6061, Revision 

001, dated January 21, 2008, is 

unnecessary. This service bulletin, 

which includes Modifications A and B, 

did not exhibit the FMS position jump 

problem that this AD addresses. This 

problem started when Modification C 

was incorporated into the affected units. 

Since Modifications A and B did not 

exhibit the FMS position jump problem, 

operators of these units are not required 

to incorporate the AFM revision 

procedures. Therefore, we have 

removed references to Honeywell 

Service Bulletin 7018879–34–6061, 

Revision 001, dated January 21, 2008, 

from this AD. 

Request To Clarify Terminology 

Honeywell notes that the NPRM states 

that the new software should be 

‘‘uploaded.’’ This term may cause some 

confusion as very few of the affected 

airplanes have the capability to fieldload the software. Honeywell 

recommends replacing the term 

‘‘upload’’ with ‘‘upgrade.’’ 

We agree that this terminology may 

cause some confusion, and we have 

changed the ‘‘upload’’ terminology to 

‘‘upgrade’’ throughout this AD. 

Request To Change Contact Information 

of Manufacturer 

The manufacturer, Honeywell, has 

requested that we change the contact 

information for service information to 

Honeywell Technical Operations 

Center, 1944 East Sky Harbor Circle, 

Phoenix, Arizona 85034–3442; 

telephone (U.S. and Canada) 800–601– 

3099; (international) 602–365–3099; email AeroTechSupport@Honeywell.com. 

We agree, and we have provided the 

specific contact information for the 

manufacturer as requested. 

Conclusion 

We have carefully reviewed the 

available data, including the comments 

that have been received, and determined 

that air safety and the public interest 

require adopting the AD with the 

changes described previously. We have 

determined that these changes will 

neither increase the economic burden 

on any operator nor increase the scope 

of the AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

There are about 104 airplanes of the 

affected design in the worldwide fleet. 

The following table provides the 

estimated costs for U.S. operators to 

comply with this 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 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.

39 CFR Part 111 

Insurance Claims Process Changes 

AGENCY: Postal Service.TM

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Postal Service is revising 

its regulations governing the processing 

and adjudication of domestic mail 

insurance claims in order to streamline 

the claims process and to provide 

customers with more consistent service. 

DATES: Effective Date: May 11, 2009. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Monica Grein, 202–268–8411. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 27, 2009, the Postal Service 

published a proposed rule in the 

Federal Register (Volume 74, Number 

16, pages 4727–4729), inviting 

comments on a set of proposed revisions 

to the procedures governing the 

processing and adjudication of domestic 

mail insurance claims. One set of 

comments was received. After reviewing 

those comments, and upon further 

consideration of the proposed revisions, 

the Postal Service has decided to adopt 

the proposed regulations with minor 

revisions described below. 

As noted in the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section of the proposed 

rule, the Postal Service is revising its 

regulations to make the online claims 

processing service available to 

customers who purchase domestic 

insurance through any retail channel— 

i.e., USPS.com,® Automated Postal 

Center® kiosks, local Post OfficeTM

facilities, or authorized PC Postage®

providers. In addition, Express Mail®

customers may file online claims, even 

if no additional insurance was 

purchased. Collect on Delivery (COD) 

and Registered MailTM claims may be 

filed by mail or at a Post Office; 

however, they cannot be filed online. 

Under this final rule, a customer may 

also file a claim by downloading a form 

from USPS.com and mailing it directly 

to Postal Service Accounting Services in 

St. Louis, MO, or continue to file the 

claim form at a local Post Office and 

have it sent to St. Louis for them. 

To ensure consistency and service 

quality, all claims will now be 

adjudicated by Accounting Services. 

Local Post Office personnel will no 

longer adjudicate claims.
