AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

Airbus Model A320–111 airplanes and 

Model A320–200 series airplanes. This 

AD requires installing a bonding strip 

between each of the two water scavenge 

jet pumps of the center fuel tank and the 

rear spar in section 21. This AD results 

from the results of fuel system reviews 

conducted by the manufacturer. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent an ignition 

source for fuel vapor in the wing, which 

could result in fire or explosion in the 

center wing fuel tank. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

October 26, 2005. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of October 26, 2005. 

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD 

docket on the Internet at http:// 

dms.dot.gov or in person at the Docket 

Management Facility, U.S. Department 

of Transportation, 400 Seventh Street 

SW., Nassif Building, Room PL–401, 

Washington, DC.

AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Examining the Docket 

You may examine the airworthiness 

directive (AD) docket on the Internet at 

http://dms.dot.gov or in person at the 

Docket Management Facility office 

between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday 

through Friday, except Federal holidays. 

The Docket Management Facility office 

(telephone (800) 647–5227) is located on 

the plaza level of the Nassif Building at 

the street address stated in the 

ADDRESSES section. 

Discussion 

The FAA issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to include an AD that would 

apply to certain Airbus Model A320–

111 airplanes and Model A320–200 

series airplanes. That NPRM was 

published in the Federal Register on 

July 19, 2005 (70 FR 41350). That NPRM 

proposed to require installing a bonding 

strip between each of the two water 

scavenge jet pumps of the center fuel 

tank and the rear spar in section 21. 

Comments 

We provided the public the 

opportunity to participate in the 

development of this AD. We have 

considered the comment received. The 

commenter supports the NPRM. 

Conclusion 

We have carefully reviewed the 

available data, including the comment 

received, and determined that air safety 

and the public interest require adopting 

the AD as proposed. 

Costs of Compliance 

This AD will affect about 371 

airplanes of U.S. registry. The actions 

will take about 1 work hour per 

airplane, at an average labor rate of $65 

per work hour. The manufacturer will 

supply required parts at no charge. 

Based on these figures, the estimated 

cost of the AD for U.S. operators is 

$24,115, or $65 per airplane. 

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; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

British Aerospace Model HS 748 

airplanes. This AD requires modifying 

the undercarriage of the nose landing 

gear (NLG). This AD results from a 

report that pintle pins could be installed 

in an incorrect manner during 

maintenance without maintenance 

personnel being aware (or having 

feedback) that the pin was installed 

incorrectly. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent jamming or collapse of the NLG, 

which could result in damage to the 

airplane structure or injury to 

passengers or crew. 

DATES: Effective October 6, 2005. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in the AD 

as of October 6, 2005. 

We must receive comments on this 

AD by November 21, 2005. 

ADDRESSES: Use one of the following 

addresses to submit comments on this 

AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), 

which is the airworthiness authority for 

the United Kingdom, notified us that an 

unsafe condition may exist on all British 

Aerospace Model HS 748 Airplanes. 

The CAA advises that failure to follow 

the airplane’s maintenance manual 

instructions for installing the nose 

landing gear (NLG) could result in 

incorrect assembly of the NLG. Incorrect 

assembly may result in the pintle pin 

being unlocked, so that it is free to 

migrate from its support housing. It is 

possible to install the pintle pin in an 

incorrect configuration without any 

knowledge or suspicion that the pin was 

installed incorrectly. Incorrect assembly 

of the pin, if not corrected, could result 

in jamming or collapse of the NLG, 

which could result in damage to the 

airplane structure or injury to 

passengers or crew.
