USDA Rural Development has 

determined that this proposed rule will 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small 

entities, as defined by the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). 

The standard USDA Rural Development 

telecommunications loan documents 

contain provisions on procurement of 

products and construction of 

telecommunications facilities purchased 

with loan funds. This ensures that the 

telecommunications systems financed 

with loan funds are adequate to serve 

the purposes for which they are to be 

constructed and that loan funds are 

adequately secured. UDSA Rural 

Development borrowers, as a result of 

obtaining Federal financing, receive 

economic benefits that exceed any 

direct cost associated with complying 

with UDSA Rural Development 

regulations and requirements. 

Information Collection and 

Recordkeeping Requirements 

The information collection and 

recordkeeping requirements contained 

in this proposed rule are cleared under 

control numbers 0572–0059 and 0572– 

0132 pursuant to the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35, as amended). 

Executive Order 13132 

This regulation will not have 

substantial direct effects on the States, 

on the relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. Under Executive 

Order 13132, this proposed rule does 

not have sufficient federalism 

implications requiring the preparation 

the preparation of a Federalism 

Assessment.

Unfunded Mandates 

This proposed rule contains no 

Federal Mandates (under the regulatory 

provisions of Title II of the Unfunded 

Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 

Chapter 25)) for State, local, and tribal 

governments or the private sector. Thus, 

this proposed rule is not subject to the 

requirements of sections 202 and 205 of 

the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 

1995. 

National Environmental Policy Act 

Certification 

The Agency has determined that this 

proposed rule will not significantly 

affect the quality of the human 

environment as defined by the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). Therefore, this 

action does not require an 

environmental impact statement or 

assessment. 

Background 

RUS issues contracts, standards and 

specification for construction of 

telecommunications facilities financed 

with RUS loan funds. RUS is proposing 

to revise the specifications for buried 

plant construction contained in RUS 

Bulletin 1753F–150 (RUS Form 515a). 

The current outside plant 

specifications are used by borrowers to 

secure the services of a contractor for 

the construction of telecommunications 

facilities. Because of Fiber-to-the-Home 

construction and advancements made in 

construction installation methods and 

materials, the present specifications 

have become outdated. To allow 

borrowers and contractors to take 

advantage of these improved 

construction installation methods and 

materials, the current specification will 

be revised. 

The proposed bulletin is available 

from the Agency. Interested parties may 

obtain copies from Norberto Esteves, 

Chair, Technical Standards Committee

Services Division, Telecommunications 

Program, USDA–Rural Utilities Service,

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

14 CFR Part 39 

[Docket No. FAA–2010–0329; Directorate 

Identifier 2010–CE–016–AD] 

RIN 2120–AA64 

Airworthiness Directives; Various 

Aircraft Equipped With Rotax Aircraft 

Engines 912 A Series Engines 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for the 

products listed above. This proposed 

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: 

Due to high fuel pressure, caused by 

exceeding pressure in front of the mechanical 

fuel pump (e.g. due to an electrical fuel 

pump), in limited cases a deviation in the 

fuel supply could occur. This can result in 

exceeding of the fuel pressure and might 

cause engine malfunction and/or massive 

fuel leakage. 

We are proposing this AD to prevent 

the pump from causing excessive fuel 

pressure, which could result in engine 

malfunction or a massive fuel leak. 

These conditions could cause loss of 

control of the airplane or a fire. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by July 23, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by 

any of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to 

http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments.

Discussion 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued EASA AD No.: 

2007–0060R1–E, dated April 20, 2007 

(referred to after this as ‘‘the MCAI’’), to 

correct an unsafe condition for the 

specified products. The MCAI states: 

Due to high fuel pressure, caused by 

exceeding pressure in front of the mechanical 

fuel pump (e.g. due to an electrical fuel 

pump), in limited cases a deviation in the 

fuel supply could occur. This can result in 

exceeding of the fuel pressure and might 

cause engine malfunction and/or massive 

fuel leakage. 

Non-compliance with these instructions 

could result in engine damages, personal 

injuries or death. 

The MCAI requires replacing the 

affected fuel pumps with a different part 

number fuel pump. 

The MCAI applies to all versions of 

Bombardier-Rotax GmbH 912 A, 912 F, 

and 912 S series engines. Versions of the 

912 F series and 912 S series engines are 

type certificated in the United States. 

However, the Model 912 A series engine 

installed in various aircraft does not 

have an engine type certificate; instead, 

the engine is part of the aircraft type 

design. You may obtain further 

information by examining the MCAI in 

the AD docket. 

Relevant Service Information 

Rotax Aircraft Engines has issued 

Service Bulletin SB–912–053, dated 

April 13, 2007. 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 Proposed 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 proposing this 

AD because we evaluated all 

information and determined the unsafe 

condition exists and is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. 

Differences Between This Proposed 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 also have proposed 

different actions in this AD from those 

in the MCAI in order to follow FAA 

policies. Any such differences are 

highlighted in a Note within the 

proposed AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

will affect 60 products of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about .5 work-hour per product to
