AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), 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: 

There have been reported incidents of 

brinelling to the self-sealing coupling Part 

Number (P/N) 9304000–303 (Nipple 

Assembly). The wear is visible in the groove 

of the nipple, caused by the socket locking 

balls. During tear down investigations of selfsealing coupling P/N 9304000–305 (Socket 

Assembly), internal socket wear has been 

observed. Wear that exceeds the allowable 

limits could lead to reduced oil flow, and 

further wear could contribute to separation of 

the Self-Seal Coupling, making the engine 

inoperable and subsequent shut down. As 

secondary damage, the generator may fail, 

releasing oil into the nacelle and increasing 

the possibility of fire. 

* * * * * 

The proposed AD would require 

actions that are intended to address the 

unsafe condition described in the MCAI. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by August 20, 2009.

Discussion 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued EASA 

Airworthiness Directive 2008–0030, 

dated February 15, 2008 (referred to 

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

unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

There have been reported incidents of 

brinelling to the self-sealing coupling Part 

Number (P/N) 9304000–303 (Nipple 

Assembly). The wear is visible in the groove 

of the nipple, caused by the socket locking 

balls. During tear down investigations of selfsealing coupling P/N 9304000–305 (Socket 

Assembly), internal socket wear has been 

observed. Wear that exceeds the allowable 

limits could lead to reduced oil flow, and 

further wear could contribute to separation of 

the Self-Seal Coupling, making the engine 

inoperable and subsequent shut down. As 

secondary damage, the generator may fail, 

releasing oil into the nacelle and increasing 

the possibility of fire. 

For the reason described above, this 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) requires the 

inspection of the affected nipple- and socket 

assemblies and, if wear is found outside the 

specified limits, replacement of worn parts. 

You may obtain further information 

by examining the MCAI in the AD 

docket. 

Relevant Service Information 

Saab has issued Service Bulletin 

2000–79–006, Revision 01, dated 

October 15, 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 This 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 the State of 

Design Authority, we have been notified 


hsrobinson on PROD1PC76 with PROPOSALS-1
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 138 / Tuesday, July 21, 2009 / Proposed Rules 35829 

of the unsafe condition described in the 

MCAI and service information 

referenced above. We are proposing this 

AD because we evaluated all pertinent 

information and determined an unsafe 

condition exists and is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. 

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 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 

Based on the service information, we 

estimate that this proposed AD would 

affect about 6 products of U.S. registry. 

We also estimate that it would take 

about 1 work-hour per product to 

comply with the basic requirements of 

this proposed AD. The average labor 

rate is $80 per work-hour. Based on 

these figures, we estimate the cost of the 

proposed AD on U.S. operators to be 

$480, or $80 per product. 

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 proposed AD 

would not have federalism implications 

under Executive Order 13132. This 

proposed AD 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. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify 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. 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 proposed AD and placed it in the 

AD docket.

The Proposed Amendment 

Accordingly, under the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator, 

the FAA proposes to amend 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. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new AD: 

Saab AB, Saab Aerosystems: Docket No. 

FAA–2009–0654; Directorate Identifier 

2008–NM–083–AD. 

Comments Due Date 

(a) We must receive comments by August 

20, 2009. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to Saab AB, Saab 

Aerosystems Model SAAB 2000 airplanes, 

certificated in any category, serial numbers 

004 through 063 inclusive. 

Subject 

(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 79: Engine Oil. 

Reason 

(e) The mandatory continuing 

airworthiness information (MCAI) states: 

There have been reported incidents of 

brinelling to the self-sealing coupling Part 

Number (P/N) 9304000–303 (Nipple 

Assembly). The wear is visible in the groove 

of the nipple, caused by the socket locking 

balls. During tear down investigations of selfsealing coupling P/N 9304000–305 (Socket 

Assembly), internal socket wear has been 

observed. Wear that exceeds the allowable 

limits could lead to reduced oil flow, and 

further wear could contribute to separation of 

the Self-Seal Coupling, making the engine 

inoperable and subsequent shut down. As 

secondary damage, the generator may fail, 

releasing oil into the nacelle and increasing 

the possibility of fire. 

For the reason described above, this 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) requires the 

inspection of the affected nipple- and socket 

assemblies and, if wear is found outside the 

specified limits, replacement of worn parts. 

Actions and Compliance 

(f) Unless already done, do the following 

actions. 

(1) Within 12 months after the effective 

date of this AD: Inspect the affected nipple 

assembly part number (P/N) 9304000–303 

and socket assembly P/N 9304000–305 for 

signs of damage, wear, and leaking of the 

nipple and socket, in accordance with the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Saab Service 

Bulletin 2000–79–006, Revision 01, dated 

October 15, 2007. Repeat the inspection 

thereafter at intervals not to exceed 4,000 

flight hours. 

(2) If any wear is found during any 

inspection required by paragraph (f)(1) of this 

AD that is beyond the limits as specified in 

Saab Service Bulletin 2000–79–006, Revision 

01, dated October 15, 2007, prior to further 

flight, replace the part with a new or 

serviceable unit having the same part 

number, in accordance with Saab Service 

Bulletin 2000–79–006, Revision 01, dated 

October 15, 2007. 

(3) If any leak or damage is found during 

any inspection required by paragraph (f)(1) of 

this AD, prior to further flight, replace the 

part with a new or serviceable unit having 

the same part number in accordance with 

step 2.C.(1)(a)6 or step 2.C.(1)(a)10, as 

applicable, in Saab Service Bulletin 2000– 

79–006, Revision 01, dated October 15, 2007. 

(4) Replacement of parts does not 

constitute terminating action for the 

inspection requirements of this AD. 

FAA AD Differences 

Note 1: This AD differs from the MCAI 

and/or service information as follows: No 

differences.
