20946 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 81 / Thursday, April 26, 2001 / Proposed Rules

consider the impact of their actions on

state and local interests. In adherence to

fundamental federalism principles,

NCUA, an independent regulatory

agency as defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(5),

voluntarily complies with the executive

order. This proposed rule, if adopted,

will apply only to federally-chartered

credit unions. It 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. NCUA has

determined that this proposal does not

constitute a policy that has federalism

implications for purposes of the

executive order.

Paperwork Reduction Act

NCUA has determined that the

proposed rule does not increase

paperwork requirements under the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and

regulations of the Office of Management

and Budget.

The Treasury and General Government

Appropriations Act, 1999—Assessment

of Federal Regulations and Policies on

Families

The NCUA has determined that this

proposed rule will not affect family

well-being within the meaning of

section 654 of the Treasury and General

Government Appropriations Act, 1999,

Pub. L. 105–277, 112 Stat. 2681 (1998).

Agency Regulatory Goal

NCUA’s goal is to promulgate clear

and understandable regulations that

impose minimal regulatory burden. We

request your comments on whether the

proposed rule is understandable and

minimally intrusive if implemented as

proposed.

Discussion

The Direction Ge ́ne ́rale de l’Aviation

Civile (DGAC), which is the

airworthiness authority for, notified the

FAA that an unsafe condition may exist

on certain Aerospatiale Model ATR72–

101, –201, –102, –202, –211, and –212

series airplanes. The DGAC advises that

Model ATR72–202 series airplane,

while taxiing out, experienced an

elevator pitch disconnect; a loss of the

green system hydraulic pump; and

eruption of a small fire. Investigations

revealed that the power supply cables of

the green system hydraulic pump had

chafed on the right-hand elevator

control cable, between frames 28 and

28A. This chafing led to a short circuit,

which caused the elevator control cable

to snap and the hydraulic pump power

supply circuit breaker to trip. The heat

generated started a small fire, which

extinguished itself.

It was determined that the chafing

and subsequent electrical short circuit

were caused by the installation of an

oversized clamp (diameter 20 mm) on

the power supply cables loom (diameter

16 mm) of the green system hydraulic

pump. The larger clamp gave the cables

freedom to move and did not secure

wiring conduit 2P in the forward area,

where the cables loom changes

direction. This condition, if not

corrected, could cause the chafing of

electrical wires, and consequent short

circuit, snapping of the elevator control

cable, tripping of the hydraulic pump

power supply circuit breaker, and

possible fire, resulting in reduced

controllability of the airplane and

consequent injury to the crew and

passengers.

Explanation of Relevant Service

Information

Aerospatiale has issued Avions de

Transport Regional Service Bulletin

ATR72–92–1004, dated January 26,

2001, which describes procedures for a

one-time inspection of harness route 2P

and the pitch control cable for wire

chafing, corrective action, if necessary,

and replacement of the 20 mm clamp

with a 16 mm clamp in a rotated

position. Accomplishment of the actions

specified in the service bulletin is

intended to adequately address the

identified unsafe condition. The DGAC

classified this service bulletin as

mandatory and issued French

airworthiness directive 2001–056–

055(B), dated February 7, 2001, in order

to assure the continued airworthiness of

these airplanes in France.

FAA’s Conclusions

These airplane models are

manufactured in France and are type

certificated for operation in the United

States under the provisions of section

21.29 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR 21.29) and the

applicable bilateral airworthiness

agreement. Pursuant to this bilateral

airworthiness agreement, the DGAC has

kept the FAA informed of the situation

described above. The FAA has

examined the findings of the DGAC,

reviewed all available information, and

determined that AD action is necessary

for products of this type design that are

certificated for operation in the United

States.

Explanation of Requirements of

Proposed Rule

Since an unsafe condition has been

identified that is likely to exist or

develop on other airplanes of the same

type design registered in the United

States, the proposed AD would require

accomplishment of the actions specified

in the service bulletin described

previously.

Cost Impact

The FAA estimates that 60 airplanes

of U.S. registry would be affected by this

proposed AD, that it would take

approximately 1 work hour per airplane

to accomplish the proposed

replacement, and that the average labor

rate is $60 per work hour. Required

parts would be supplied by the

manufacturer at no cost to the operators.

Based on these figures, the cost impact

of the proposed AD on U.S. operators is

estimated to be $3,600, or $60 per

airplane.

The cost impact figure discussed

above is based on assumptions that no

operator has yet accomplished any of

the proposed requirements of this AD

action, and that no operator would

accomplish those actions in the future if

this proposed AD were not adopted. The

cost impact figures discussed in AD

rulemaking actions represent only the

time necessary to perform the specific

20948 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 81 / Thursday, April 26, 2001 / Proposed Rules

actions actually required by the AD.

These figures typically do not include

incidental costs, such as the time

required to gain access and close up,

planning time, or time necessitated by

other administrative actions.

Regulatory Impact

The regulations proposed herein

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. Therefore,

it is determined that this proposal

would not have federalism implications

under Executive Order 13132.

For the reasons discussed above, I

certify that 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); and (3) if

promulgated, 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 draft

regulatory 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

The Proposed Amendment

Accordingly, pursuant to the

authority delegated to me by the

Administrator, the Federal Aviation

Administration proposes to amend part

39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations

(14 CFR part 39) as follows:

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS

DIRECTIVES

1. The authority citation for part 39

continues to read as follows:

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

§ 39.13 [Amended]

2. Section 39.13 is amended by

adding the following new airworthiness

directive:

Aerospatiale: Docket 2001–NM–38–AD.

Applicability: Model ATR72–101, –201,

–102, –202, –211, and –212 series airplanes,

certificated in any category, except those on

which Modification 3719 has been

performed.

Note 1: This AD applies to each airplane

identified in the preceding applicability

provision, regardless of whether it has been

otherwise modified, altered, or repaired in

the area subject to the requirements of this

AD. For 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 (c) 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, unless

accomplished previously.

To prevent the chafing of electrical wires,

which could cause a short circuit and failure

of the elevator control cable and the green

system hydraulic pump, resulting in reduced

controllability of the airplane and consequent

injury to the crew and passengers,

accomplish the following:

Inspection and Corrective Action

(a) Within 25 days after the effective date

of this AD: Perform a general visual

inspection of harness route 2P and the pitch

control cable for chafing, in accordance with

Avions de Transport Regional Service

Bulletin ATR72–92–1004, dated January 26,

2001.

(1) If no chafing is found, no further action

is required by this paragraph.

(2) If any chafing of the harness route 2P

or the pitch control cable is found during the

inspection, prior to further flight, replace the

applicable part with a new or serviceable part

in accordance with Avions de Transport

Regional Service Bulletin ATR72–92–1004,

dated January 26, 2001.

Note 2: For the purposes of this AD, a

general visual inspection is defined as: ‘‘A

visual examination of an interior or exterior

area, installation, or assembly to detect

obvious damage, failure, or irregularity. This

level of inspection is made under normally

available lighting conditions such as

daylight, hangar lighting, flashlight, or droplight, and may require removal or opening of

access panels or doors. Stands, ladders, or

platforms may be required to gain proximity

to the area being checked.’’

(b) Within 25 days after the effective date

of this AD: Remove the oversized clamp (20

mm), part number (P/N) NSA935807–20, at

frame 28, which retains power supply cables

loom 2P for the green circuit hydraulic

pump, and install a 16mm clamp, P/N

NSA935807–16, with new orientation, in

accordance with Avions de Transport

Regional Service Bulletin ATR72–92–1004,

dated January 26, 2001.

Alternative Methods of Compliance

(c) An alternative method of compliance or

adjustment of the compliance time that

provides an acceptable level of safety may be

used if approved by the Manager,

International Branch, ANM–116, Transport

Airplane Directorate, FAA. Operators shall

submit their requests through an appropriate

FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector, who

may add comments and then send it to the

Manager, International Branch, ANM–116.

Note 3: Information concerning the

existence of approved alternative methods of

compliance with this AD, if any, may be

obtained from the International Branch,

ANM–116.
