SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 by adding an AD that would 

apply to the specified products. The 

NPRM was published in the Federal 

Register on April 20, 2017 (82 FR 

18588). The NPRM proposed to correct 

an unsafe condition for the specified 

products. The MCAI states: 

During a maintenance operation, some 

smoke detectors P/N PMC1102–02 failed an 

acceptance test, due to a significant degraded 

optical sensitivity. Investigation results 

concluded that light-emitting diodes (LED) 

were abnormally degraded, affecting specific 

batches where changes occurred in the LED 

manufacturer production process. Further 

investigation has determined that the affected 

LED have been installed on smoke detectors 

manufactured between November 2010 and 

January 2013, and on certain repaired units. 

This condition, if not corrected, will 

generate an abnormal ageing of the smoke 

detector, leading to a decrease of the light 

intensity capability, possibly resulting in 

failure to detect smoke and consequent risk 

of an on-board uncontrolled fire. 

You may obtain further information 

by examining the MCAI in the AD 

docket on the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov by searching for 

and locating Docket No. FAA–2017– 

0099. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

considered the comments received. 

Comment on Certifying Authority 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA) commented that the affected 

smoke detectors were approved by 

EASA rather than by France. 

We agree. These smoke detectors were 

approved by EASA. We did not change 

this AD because this AD does not 

reference the certifying authority for 

these smoke detectors. The section 

commented on by EASA exists only in 

the ‘‘Determination and Requirements of 

This Proposed AD’’ section of the 

NPRM. We did not change this AD. 

Request To Revise Applicability 

Delta Air Lines (Delta) requested that 

we revise the Applicability section of 

this AD to remove the reference to the 

date range when certain affected smoke 

detectors were produced. Delta 

indicated that the NPRM may be 

interpreted as implying that there are 

more affected smoke detector serial 

numbers than those identified in 

paragraph 1/D/of Siemens Service 

Information Letter (SIL) PMC–26–002, 

Revision No. 1, dated January 2016, and 

of SIL PMC–26–003, Revision No. 2, 

dated February, 2016. Delta commented 

that removing the date range from the 

Applicability section of this AD would 

clarify applicability for operators. 

We agree. We find that providing the 

part numbers (P/Ns) and serial numbers 

(S/Ns) for the affected smoke detectors 

sufficiently identifies all affected 

detectors. We revised this AD by 

removing the reference to the 

production date range from the 

Applicability section of this AD. 

Request To Revise Compliance 

Schedule 

Delta requested that we revise 

paragraph (f)(2) in the compliance 

section of this AD to indicate that 

repaired units identified in Figure (1) to 

paragraph (c) of this AD should be 

replaced within 5 months after the 

effective date of this AD. Delta 

commented that the NPRM does not 

specify when these affected detectors 

are to be replaced. 

We agree. We revised the compliance 

section of this AD to specify that smoke 

detectors identified in paragraph (c)(2) 

of this AD must be replaced within 5 

months after the effective date of this 

AD. 

Support for This AD 

The Air Line Pilots Association, 

International, commented that it 

supports the intent of this AD to correct 

the unsafe condition on the affected 

products. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the available data, 

including the comments received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

with the changes described previously. 

We determined that these changes will 

not increase the economic burden on 

any operator or increase the scope of 

this AD. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

Siemens has issued SIL No. PMC–26– 

002, Revision No. 1, dated January 2016 

and SIL No. PMC–26–003, Revision No. 

2, dated February 2016. SIL No. PMC 

26–002 provides a list of S/Ns for 

affected smoke detectors, P/Ns 

PMC1102–02, PMC3100–00, and 

GMC1102–02, known to be installed on 

Airbus A330 passenger, A330 freighter, 

and A380 airplanes. SIL No. PMC 26– 

003 provides a list of S/Ns for affected 

smoke detectors, P/N PMC1102, known 

to be installed on Boeing B737–400 

airplanes that have been converted via 

supplemental type certificate from a 

passenger to a freighter airplane. This 

service information is reasonably 

available because the interested parties 

have access to it through their normal 

course of business or by the means 

identified in the ADDRESSES section. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects an 

unknown number of smoke detectors 

installed on, but not limited to, various 

aircraft of U.S. registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with 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. 

This AD is issued in accordance with 

authority delegated by the Executive 

Director, Aircraft Certification Service, 

as authorized by FAA Order 8000.51C. 

In accordance with that order, issuance 

of ADs is normally a function of the 

Compliance and Airworthiness 

Division, but during this transition 

period, the Executive Director has 

delegated the authority to issue ADs 

applicable to engines, propellers, and 

appliances to the Manager, Engine and 

Propeller Standards Branch, Policy and 

Innovation Division. 

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 this AD: 

(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), 

(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska to the extent that it justifies 

making a regulatory distinction, and 

(4) 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.

14 CFR Part 71 

[Docket No. FAA–2017–0287; Airspace 

Docket No. 17–ACE–6] 

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Wayne, NE 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E 

airspace extending up to 700 feet above 

the surface at Wayne Municipal/Stan 

Morris Field (formally the Wayne 

Municipal Airport), Wayne, NE, to 

accommodate new standard instrument 

approach procedures for instrument 

flight rules (IFR) operations at the 

airport. This action is necessary due to 

the decommissioning of the Wayne nondirectional radio beacon (NDB) serving 

the airport, and cancellation of the NDB 

approach. This action enhances the 

safety and management of IFR 

operations at the airport. The new 

airport name was not included in the 

NPRM and is being corrected. The 

geographic coordinates of the airport 

also are updated to be in concert with 

the FAA’s aeronautical database. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, December 7, 

2017. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under Title 1, Code of 

Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to 

the annual revision of FAA Order 

7400.11 and publication of conforming 

amendments.
