AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above. This AD results 

from mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) 

issued by the aviation authority of 

another country to identify and correct 

an unsafe condition on an aviation 

product. The MCAI describes the unsafe 

condition as: 

Defective inlet self-seal valves have been 

identified. Detachment of a seal inside the 

valve could result in partial or complete 

blockage of the burner supply. 

On a hopper balloon this failure would 

result in an uncontrolled descent. In some 

circumstances this could result in serious 

injury. 

This AD requires actions that are 

intended to address the unsafe 

condition described in the MCAI. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

March 25, 2008. 

On March 25, 2008, the Director of the 

Federal Register approved the 

incorporation by reference of certain 

publications listed in this AD. 

We must receive comments on this 

AD by April 4, 2008. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by 

any of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

The Civil Aviation Authority, which 

is the aviation authority for the United 

Kingdom, has issued AD No: G–2008–

0002, dated January 14, 2008 (referred to 

after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an 

unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

Defective inlet self-seal valves have been 

identified. Detachment of a seal inside the 

valve could result in partial or complete 

blockage of the burner supply. 

On a hopper balloon this failure would 

result in an uncontrolled descent. In some 

circumstances this could result in serious 

injury. 

The MCAI requires you inspect fuel 

gas cylinder to identify whether the 

cylinder liquid valve is from the 

affected batch of valves and replace any 

self-seal valve found from the affected 

batch. 

You may obtain further information 

by examining the MCAI in the AD 

docket. 

Relevant Service Information 

Cameron Balloons Ltd. has issued 

Service Bulletin No. SB16, dated 

January 8, 2008; and Service Bulletin 

No. SB17, dated January 8, 2008. The 

actions described in this service 

information are intended to correct the 

unsafe condition identified in the 

MCAI. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of the 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 this State of 

Design Authority, they have notified us 

of the unsafe condition described in the 

MCAI and service information 

referenced above. We are issuing this 

AD because we evaluated all 

information provided by the State of 

Design Authority and determined the 

unsafe condition exists and is likely to 

exist or develop on other products of the 

same type design. 

This design cylinder liquid valve may 

also be installed on balloon models of 

Cameron Balloons USA. The corrective 

actions in the AD are specified to 

Cameron Balloons Ltd. Models, for 

which the United Kingdom is the State 

of Design. We are currently evaluating 

other valve installations on Cameron 

Balloons USA, for which the United 

States is the State of Design. We are 

evaluating these other installations and, 

based on the evaluation, may consider 

additional rulemaking on this subject.

Differences Between This AD and the 

MCAI or Service Information 

We have reviewed the MCAI and 

related service information and, in 

general, agree with their substance. But 

we might have found it necessary to use 

different words from those in the MCAI 

to ensure the AD is clear for U.S. 

operators and is enforceable. In making 

these changes, we do not intend to differ 

substantively from the information 

provided in the MCAI and related 

service information. 

We might have also required different 

actions in this AD from those in the 

MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. 

Any such differences are described in a 

separate paragraph of the AD. These 

requirements take precedence over 

those copied from the MCAI. 

FAA’s Determination of the Effective 

Date 

An unsafe condition exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

AD. The FAA has found that the risk of 

the flying public justifies waiving notice 

and comment prior to adoption of this 

rule because detachment of a seal inside 

the valve could result in partial or 

complete blockage of the burner supply. 

This failure could result in an 

uncontrolled descent and serious injury. 

Therefore, we determined that notice 

and opportunity for public comment 

before issuing this AD are impracticable 

and that good cause exists for making 

this amendment effective in fewer than 

30 days. 

Comments Invited 

This AD is a final rule that involves 

requirements affecting flight safety, and 

we did not precede it by notice and 

opportunity for public comment. We 

invite you to send any written relevant 

data, views, or arguments about this AD. 

Send your comments to an address 

listed under the ADDRESSES section. 

Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA–2008–0195; 

Directorate Identifier 2008–CE–008–

AD’’ at the beginning of your comments. 

We specifically invite comments on the 

overall regulatory, economic, 

environmental, and energy aspects of 

this AD. We will consider all comments 

received by the closing date and may 

amend this AD of those comments. 

We will post all comments we 

receive, without change, to http:// 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information you provide. We 

will also post a report summarizing each 

substantive verbal contact we receive 

about 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 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 in the AD docket.

Subject 

(d) Air Transport Association of America 

(ATA) Code 28: Fuel. 

Reason 

(e) The mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) states: 

Defective inlet self-seal valves have been 

identified. Detachment of a seal inside the 

valve could result in partial or complete 

blockage of the burner supply. 

On a hopper balloon this failure would 

result in an uncontrolled descent. In some 

circumstances this could result in serious 

injury. 

The MCAI requires you inspect the fuel 

cylinder to identify whether the cylinder 

liquid valve is from the affected batch of 

valves and replace any self-seal valve found 

from the affected batch. 

Actions and Compliance 

(f) Unless already done, do the following 

actions. 

(1) Before further flight as of March 25, 

2008. (the effective date of this AD), inspect 

any gas cylinder to identify whether the 

cylinder liquid valve is from the affected 

batch of valves following Cameron Balloons 

Ltd. Service Bulletin No. SB16, dated January 

8, 2008; and Cameron Balloons Ltd. Service 

Bulletin No. SB17, dated January 8, 2008. 

(2) For single cylinder balloons or multicylinder hopper balloons: Before further 

flight, if you find any cylinder liquid valve 

from the affected batch (rego-type cylinder 

liquid valve P/N CB–0824–0001 which is 

date-stamped from 12/05 through 08/06) 

installed as a result of the inspection 

required by paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, 

replace the self-seal valve following Cameron 

Balloons Ltd. Service Bulletin No. SB16, 

dated January 8, 2008; and Cameron Balloons 

Ltd. Service Bulletin No. SB17, dated January 

8, 2008.

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Temporary final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is 

establishing a temporary safety zone for 

loading, transport, and launching of 

fireworks used to celebrate the Bass 

Wedding Ceremony. The fireworks 

displays will be held on March 8, 2008, 

on San Francisco Bay. This safety zone 

is established to ensure the safety of 

participants and spectators from the 

dangers associated with the 

pyrotechnics. Unauthorized persons or 

vessels are prohibited from entering 

into, transiting through, or remaining in 

the safety zone without permission of 

the Captain of the Port or his designated 

representative. 

DATES: This rule is effective from 11:59 

a.m. on March 6, 2008, until 9:30 p.m. 

on March 8, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulatory Information 

This rule is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review, and does not 

require an assessment of potential costs 

and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that 

Order. The Office of Management and 

Budget has not reviewed it under that 

Order. As such, the event would occur 

before the rulemaking process was 

complete. Because of the dangers posed 

by the pyrotechnics used in this 

fireworks display, the safety zone is 

necessary to provide for the safety of 

event participants, spectator craft, and 

other vessels transiting the event area. 

For the safety concerns noted, it is in 

the public interest to have these 

regulations in effect during the event. 

Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast 

Guard finds that good cause exists for 

making this rule effective less than 30 

days after publication in the Federal 

Register. Any delay in the effective date 

of this rule would expose mariners to 

the dangers posed by the pyrotechnics 

used in the fireworks display. 

Background and Purpose 

The Bass Wedding Party is sponsoring 

a brief fireworks display on March 8, 

2008 to celebrate the wedding of Mr. 

and Mrs. Bass. The fireworks display is 

scheduled to launch at 9 p.m., on March 

8, 2008, and last approximately twenty 

minutes. The safety zone is being issued 

to establish a temporary regulated area 

on San Francisco Bay around the 

fireworks launch barge during loading 

of the pyrotechnics, during the transit of 

the barge to the display location, and 

during the fireworks display. The safety 

zone around the launch barge is 

necessary to protect spectators, vessels, 

and other property from the hazards 

associated with the pyrotechnics on the 

fireworks barge. 

Discussion of Rule 

The Coast Guard is establishing a 

temporary safety zone on specified 

waters of San Francisco Bay. During the 

loading of the fireworks barge, while the 

barge is being towed to the display 

location, and until 8:45 p.m. on March, 

8, 2008, the safety zone will apply to the 

navigable waters around and under the 

fireworks barge within a radius of 100
