percentage as contained in the guarantee
agreement (but in no event more than
90%) times the allowable loss amount.
(e) Rent. Any net rental or other
income that has been received by the
lender from the collateral will be
applied on the guaranteed loan debt
after paying operating expenses of the
property.
(f) Liquidation costs. Liquidation costs
will be deducted from the proceeds of
the disposition of primary collateral. If
changed circumstances after submission
of the liquidation plan require a
substantial revision of liquidation costs,
the lender will procure the Agency’s
written concurrence prior to proceeding
with the proposed changes.
(g) Payment. When the Agency finds
the final report of loss to be proper in
all respects, it will approve the form and
proceed as follows:
(1) If the loss is greater than any
estimated loss payment, the Agency will
pay the additional amount owed by the
Agency to the lender.
(2) If the loss is less than the
estimated loss payment, the lender will
reimburse the Agency for the
overpayment.
(3) If the Agency determines that it is
in the Government’s best interest to take
assignment of the loan and conduct
liquidation, as stipulated in 42 U.S.C.
1490(i)(3), Assignment by Secretary, the
Agency will pay the lender in
accordance with the Loan Note
Guarantee.
(h) Date of loss. The date of loss is the
date on which the collateral will be
liquidated in the liquidation plan,
unless an alternative date is approved
by the Agency. Where the Agency
chooses to accept an assignment of the
loan or conveyance of title, the date of
loss will be the date on which the
Agency accepts assignment of the loan
or conveyance of title.
(i) Allowable claim amount. The
allowable claim amount must be
calculated by:
(1) Adding to the unpaid principal
and interest on the date of loss, an
amount approved by the Agency for
payments made by the lender for
amounts due and owning on the
property, including:
(i) Property taxes and other protective
advances as approved by the Agency;
(ii) Water and sewer charges and other
special assessments that are liens prior
to the guaranteed loan;
(iii) Insurance of the property; and
(iv) Reasonable liquidation expenses.
(2) And by deducting the following
items:
(i) Any amount received by the lender
on the account of the guaranteed loan
after the date of default;
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
(ii) Any net income received by the
lender from the secured property after
the date of default; and
(iii) Any cash items retained by the
lender, except any amount representing
a balance of the guaranteed loan not
advanced to the borrower. Any loan
amount not advanced will be applied by
the lender to reduce the outstanding
principal on the loan.
(j) Lender certification. The lender
must certify that all possibilities of
collection have been exhausted and that
all of the items specified in paragraph
(c) of this section have been identified
and reported to the Agency as a
condition for payment of claim.
I 14. A new subpart K, consisting of
§§ 3565.501 through 3565.550 is added
to read as follows:
(b) Agency approval shall not be
required for transfer of the servicing on
the guaranteed mortgages to Ginnie
Mae.
§ 3565.505
Liability.
(a) Ginnie Mae shall not be liable for
the actions of the lender including, but
not limited to, negligence, fraud, abuse,
misrepresentation or misuse of funds,
property condition, or violations of
usury laws.
(b) Ginnie Mae’s rights under the
guarantee shall be fully enforceable
notwithstanding the actions of the
lender.

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The FAA adopts a new
airworthiness directive (AD) to revise
AD 98–20–38, which applies to all
Beech 200 series airplanes. AD 98–20–
38 requires you to revise the FAAapproved Airplane Flight Manual
(AFM) to specify procedures that would
prohibit flight in severe icing conditions
(as determined by certain visual cues),
limit or prohibit the use of various flight
control devices while in severe icing
conditions, and provide the flight crew
with recognition cues for and
procedures for exiting from severe icing
conditions. Part of the applicability of
AD 98–20–38 includes the Raytheon

revisions on this subject for these
airplane models. Consequently, FAA is
revising AD 98–20–38 to remove the
Models B200 and B200C from the
applicability and add clarification that
AD 96–09–13 affects these airplanes. We
are issuing this AD to minimize the
potential hazards associated with
operating these airplanes in severe icing
conditions by providing more clearly
defined procedures and limitations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
Has FAA taken any action to this
point? A review of the requirements for
certification of Raytheon Beech 200
series airplanes in icing conditions
caused FAA to issue AD 98–20–38,
Amendment 39–10806 (63 FR 51805,
September 29, 1998). AD 98–20–38
requires you to revise the FAAapproved Airplane Flight Manual
(AFM) to specify procedures that would
prohibit flight in severe icing conditions
(as determined by certain visual cues),
limit or prohibit the use of various flight
control devices while in severe icing
conditions, and provide the flight crew
with recognition cues for and
procedures for exiting from severe icing
conditions.
What has happened since AD 98–20–
38 to initiate this proposed action? Part
of the applicability of AD 98–20–38
includes the Raytheon Models B200 and
B200C airplanes. AD 96–09–13 already
requires AFM revisions on this subject
for these airplane models. The language
is similar but is not the same and AD
96–09–13 reflects the preferred
information. Consequently, FAA is
revising AD 98–20–38 to remove the
Models B200 and B200C from the
applicability and add clarification that
AD 96–09–13 affects these airplanes.
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
Has FAA taken any action to this
point? We issued a proposal to amend
part 39 of the Federal Aviation
Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to include
an AD that would apply to Raytheon
Beech 200 series airplanes. This
proposal was published in the Federal
Register as a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) on October 22, 2004
(69 FR 62005). The NPRM proposed to
revise AD 98–20–38 to remove the
Beech Models B200 and B200C from the
applicability. The Beech Models B200
and B200C are still affected by the
actions of AD 96–09–13.
Comments
Was the public invited to comment?
We provided the public the opportunity
to participate in developing this AD. We
received no comments on the proposal
or on the determination of the cost to
the public.
Conclusion
What is FAA’s final determination on
this issue? We have carefully reviewed
the available data and determined that
air safety and the public interest require
adopting the AD as proposed except for
minor editorial corrections. We have
determined that these minor
corrections:
• Are consistent with the intent that
was proposed in the NPRM for
correcting the unsafe condition; and
• Do not add any additional burden
upon the public than was already
proposed in the NPRM.
Changes to 14 CFR Part 39—Effect on
the AD
How does the revision to 14 CFR part
39 affect this AD? On July 10, 2002, the
FAA published a new version of 14 CFR
part 39 (67 FR 47997, July 22, 2002),
which governs the FAA’s AD system.
This regulation now includes material
that relates to altered products, special
flight permits, and alternative methods
of compliance. This material previously
was included in each individual AD.
Since this material is included in 14
CFR part 39, we will not include it in
future AD actions.

Authority for This Rulemaking
What authority does FAA have for
issuing this rulemaking action? 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 AD.
Regulatory Findings
Will this AD impact various entities?
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.
Will this AD involve a significant rule
or regulatory action? 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 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 summary of the costs
to comply with this AD and placed it in
the AD Docket. You may get a copy of
this summary by sending a request to us
at the address listed under ADDRESSES.
Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA–2004–19078;
Directorate Identifier 98–CE–17–AD’’ in
your request.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39
How many airplanes does this AD
impact? We estimate that this AD affects
1,600 airplanes in the U.S. registry.
What is the cost impact of this AD on
owners/operators of the affected
airplanes? The cost estimate of this AD
is the same per airplane as AD 98–20–
38. However, the AD would affect fewer
airplanes than AD 98–20–38.

What Must I Do To Address This Problem?
(e) Within 30 days after November 4, 1998
(the effective date of AD 98–20–38), do the
requirements of paragraphs (e)(1) and (e)(2)
of this AD, unless already accomplished.
Note 2: Operators should initiate action to
notify and ensure that flight crewmembers
are apprised of this change.
(1) Revise the FAA-approved Airplane
Flight Manual (AFM) by incorporating the
following into the Limitations Section of the
AFM. This may be accomplished by inserting
a copy of this AD in the AFM.
‘‘Warning
Severe icing may result from
environmental conditions outside of those for
which the airplane is certificated. Flight in
freezing rain, freezing drizzle, or mixed icing
conditions (supercooled liquid water and ice
VerDate jul<14>2003
15:11 Jan 18, 2005
Jkt 205001
crystals) may result in ice build-up on
protected surfaces exceeding the capability of
the ice protection system, or may result in ice
forming aft of the protected surfaces. This ice
may not be shed using the ice protection
systems, and may seriously degrade the
performance and controllability of the
airplane.
• During flight, severe icing conditions
that exceed those for which the airplane is
certificated shall be determined by the
following visual cues. If one or more of these
visual cues exists, immediately request
priority handling from Air Traffic Control to
facilitate a route or an altitude change to exit
the icing conditions.
—Unusually extensive ice accumulation on
the airframe and windshield in areas not
normally observed to collect ice.
—Accumulation of ice on the upper surface
of the wing, aft of the protected area.
—Accumulation of ice on the engine nacelles
and propeller spinners farther aft than
normally observed.
• Since the autopilot, when installed and
operating, may mask tactile cues that indicate
adverse changes in handling characteristics,
use of the autopilot is prohibited when any
of the visual cues specified above exist, or
when unusual lateral trim requirements or
autopilot trim warnings are encountered
while the airplane is in icing conditions.
• All wing icing inspection lights must be
operative prior to flight into known or
forecast icing conditions at night. [Note: This
supersedes any relief provided by the Master
Minimum Equipment List (MMEL).]’’
(2) Revise the FAA-approved AFM by
incorporating the following into the Normal
Procedures Section of the AFM. This may be
accomplished by inserting a copy of this AD
in the AFM.
‘‘The Following Weather Conditions May Be
Conducive to Severe In-Flight Icing
• Visible rain at temperatures below 0
degrees Celsius ambient air temperature.
• Droplets that splash or splatter on impact
at temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius
ambient air temperature.
Procedures for Exiting the Severe Icing
Environment
These procedures are applicable to all
flight phases from takeoff to landing. Monitor
the ambient air temperature. While severe
icing may form at temperatures as cold as
¥18 degrees Celsius, increased vigilance is
warranted at temperatures around freezing
with visible moisture present. If the visual
cues specified in the Limitations Section of
the AFM for identifying severe icing
conditions are observed, accomplish the
following:
• Immediately request priority handling
from Air Traffic Control to facilitate a route
or an altitude change to exit the severe icing
conditions in order to avoid extended
exposure to flight conditions more severe
than those for which the airplane has been
certificated.
• Avoid abrupt and excessive
maneuvering that may exacerbate control
difficulties.
• Do not engage the autopilot.
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
• If the autopilot is engaged, hold the
control wheel firmly and disengage the
autopilot.
• If an unusual roll response or
uncommanded roll control movement is
observed, reduce the angle-of-attack.
• Do not extend flaps when holding in
icing conditions. Operation with flaps
extended can result in a reduced wing angleof-attack, with the possibility of ice forming
on the upper surface further aft on the wing
than normal, possibly aft of the protected
area.
• If the flaps are extended, do not retract
them until the airframe is clear of ice.
• Report these weather conditions to Air
Traffic Control.’’
(f) As an alternative method of compliance
to the actions required by paragraph (e)(2) of
this AD, revise the Abnormal Procedures
Section or Emergency Procedures Section of
the AFM instead of the Normal Procedures
section of the AFM. Insert the information
presented in paragraph (e)(2) of this AD into
the applicable AFM section.
(g) The owner/operator holding at least a
private pilot certificate as authorized by
section 43.7 of the Federal Aviation
Regulations (14 CFR 43.7) may incorporate
the AFM revisions required by this AD. Enter
this information into the aircraft records
showing compliance with this AD following
section 43.9 of the Federal Aviation
Regulations (14 CFR 43.9).
May I Request an Alternative Method of
Compliance?
(h) You may request a different method of
compliance or a different compliance time
for this AD by following the procedures in 14
CFR 39.19. Unless FAA authorizes otherwise,
send your request to your principal
inspector. The principal inspector may add
comments and will send your request to the

the use of various flight control devices while in severe icing
conditions, and provide the flight crew with recognition cues for and
procedures for exiting from severe icing conditions. Part of the
applicability of AD 98-20-38 includes the Raytheon
[[Page 2935]]
Models B200 and B200C airplanes. AD 96-09-13 already requires AFM
revisions on this subject for these airplane models. Consequently, FAA
is revising AD 98-20-38 to remove the Models B200 and B200C from the
applicability and add clarification that AD 96-09-13 affects these

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
Has FAA taken any action to this point? A review of the
requirements for certification of Raytheon Beech 200 series airplanes
in icing conditions caused FAA to issue AD 98-20-38, Amendment 39-10806
(63 FR 51805, September 29, 1998). AD 98-20-38 requires you to revise
the FAA-approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) to specify procedures
that would prohibit flight in severe icing conditions (as determined by
certain visual cues), limit or prohibit the use of various flight
control devices while in severe icing conditions, and provide the
flight crew with recognition cues for and procedures for exiting from
severe icing conditions.
What has happened since AD 98-20-38 to initiate this proposed
action? Part of the applicability of AD 98-20-38 includes the Raytheon
Models B200 and B200C airplanes. AD 96-09-13 already requires AFM
revisions on this subject for these airplane models. The language is
similar but is not the same and AD 96-09-13 reflects the preferred
information. Consequently, FAA is revising AD 98-20-38 to remove the
Models B200 and B200C from the applicability and add clarification that
AD 96-09-13 affects these airplanes.
Has FAA taken any action to this point? We issued a proposal to
amend part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to
include an AD that would apply to Raytheon Beech 200 series airplanes.
This proposal was published in the Federal Register as a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on October 22, 2004 (69 FR 62005). The NPRM
proposed to revise AD 98-20-38 to remove the Beech Models B200 and
B200C from the applicability. The Beech Models B200 and B200C are still
affected by the actions of AD 96-09-13.
Comments
Was the public invited to comment? We provided the public the
opportunity to participate in developing this AD. We received no
comments on the proposal or on the determination of the cost to the
public.
Conclusion
What is FAA's final determination on this issue? We have carefully
reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting the AD as proposed except for minor
editorial corrections. We have determined that these minor corrections:
Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
Changes to 14 CFR Part 39--Effect on the AD
How does the revision to 14 CFR part 39 affect this AD? On July 10,
2002, the FAA published a new version of 14 CFR part 39 (67 FR 47997,
July 22, 2002), which governs the FAA's AD system. This regulation now
includes material that relates to altered products, special flight
permits, and alternative methods of compliance. This material
previously was included in each individual AD. Since this material is
included in 14 CFR part 39, we will not include it in future AD
actions.
Costs of Compliance
How many airplanes does this AD impact? We estimate that this AD
affects 1,600 airplanes in the U.S. registry.
What is the cost impact of this AD on owners/operators of the
affected airplanes? The cost estimate of this AD is the same per
airplane as AD 98-20-38. However, the AD would affect fewer airplanes
than AD 98-20-38.
Authority for This Rulemaking
What authority does FAA have for issuing this rulemaking action?
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 AD.
Regulatory Findings
Will this AD impact various entities? 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.
Will this AD involve a significant rule or regulatory action? 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 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 summary of the costs to comply with this AD and
placed it in the AD Docket. You may get a copy of this summary by
sending a request to us at the address listed under ADDRESSES. Include
``Docket No. FAA-2004-19078; Directorate Identifier 98-CE-17-AD'' in
your request.

(8) B200CT.
(9) B200T.
Note 1: The actions of AD 96-09-13 are required for the Beech
Models B200 and B200C airplanes.
What Is the Unsafe Condition Presented in This AD?
(d) The actions specified in this AD are intended to minimize
the potential hazards associated with operating these airplanes in
severe icing condition by providing more clearly defined procedures
and limitations.
What Must I Do To Address This Problem?
(e) Within 30 days after November 4, 1998 (the effective date of
AD 98-20-38), do the requirements of paragraphs (e)(1) and (e)(2) of
this AD, unless already accomplished.
Note 2: Operators should initiate action to notify and ensure
that flight crewmembers are apprised of this change.
(1) Revise the FAA-approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) by
incorporating the following into the Limitations Section of the AFM.
This may be accomplished by inserting a copy of this AD in the AFM.
``Warning
Severe icing may result from environmental conditions outside of
those for which the airplane is certificated. Flight in freezing
rain, freezing drizzle, or mixed icing conditions (supercooled
liquid water and ice crystals) may result in ice build-up on
protected surfaces exceeding the capability of the ice protection
system, or may result in ice forming aft of the protected surfaces.
This ice may not be shed using the ice protection systems, and may
seriously degrade the performance and controllability of the
airplane.
During flight, severe icing conditions that exceed
those for which the airplane is certificated shall be determined by
the following visual cues. If one or more of these visual cues
exists, immediately request priority handling from Air Traffic
Control to facilitate a route or an altitude change to exit the
icing conditions.
--Unusually extensive ice accumulation on the airframe and
windshield in areas not normally observed to collect ice.
--Accumulation of ice on the upper surface of the wing, aft of the
protected area.
--Accumulation of ice on the engine nacelles and propeller spinners
farther aft than normally observed.
Since the autopilot, when installed and operating, may
mask tactile cues that indicate adverse changes in handling
characteristics, use of the autopilot is prohibited when any of the
visual cues specified above exist, or when unusual lateral trim
requirements or autopilot trim warnings are encountered while the
airplane is in icing conditions.
All wing icing inspection lights must be operative
prior to flight into known or forecast icing conditions at night.
[Note: This supersedes any relief provided by the Master Minimum
Equipment List (MMEL).]''
(2) Revise the FAA-approved AFM by incorporating the following
into the Normal Procedures Section of the AFM. This may be
accomplished by inserting a copy of this AD in the AFM.
``The Following Weather Conditions May Be Conducive to Severe In-Flight
Icing
Visible rain at temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius
ambient air temperature.
Droplets that splash or splatter on impact at
temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius ambient air temperature.
Procedures for Exiting the Severe Icing Environment
These procedures are applicable to all flight phases from
takeoff to landing. Monitor the ambient air temperature. While
severe icing may form at temperatures as cold as -18 degrees
Celsius, increased vigilance is warranted at temperatures around
freezing with visible moisture present. If the visual cues specified
in the Limitations Section of the AFM for identifying severe icing
conditions are observed, accomplish the following:
Immediately request priority handling from Air Traffic
Control to facilitate a route or an altitude change to exit the
severe icing conditions in order to avoid extended exposure to
flight conditions more severe than those for which the airplane has
been certificated.
Avoid abrupt and excessive maneuvering that may
exacerbate control difficulties.
Do not engage the autopilot.
If the autopilot is engaged, hold the control wheel
firmly and disengage the autopilot.
If an unusual roll response or uncommanded roll control
movement is observed, reduce the angle-of-attack.
Do not extend flaps when holding in icing conditions.
Operation with flaps extended can result in a reduced wing angle-of-
attack, with the possibility of ice forming on the upper surface
further aft on the wing than normal, possibly aft of the protected
area.
If the flaps are extended, do not retract them until
the airframe is clear of ice.
Report these weather conditions to Air Traffic
Control.''
(f) As an alternative method of compliance to the actions
required by paragraph (e)(2) of this AD, revise the Abnormal
Procedures Section or Emergency Procedures Section of the AFM
instead of the Normal Procedures section of the AFM. Insert the
information presented in paragraph (e)(2) of this AD into the
applicable AFM section.
(g) The owner/operator holding at least a private pilot
certificate as authorized by section 43.7 of the Federal Aviation
Regulations (14 CFR 43.7) may incorporate the AFM revisions required
by this AD. Enter this information into the aircraft records showing
compliance with this AD following section 43.9 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 43.9).
May I Request an Alternative Method of Compliance?
(h) You may request a different method of compliance or a
different compliance time for this AD by following the procedures in
14 CFR 39.19. Unless FAA authorizes otherwise, send your request to
your principal inspector. The principal inspector may add comments
and will send your request to the Manager, Standards Office, Small
Airplane Directorate, FAA. For information on any already approved
alternative methods of compliance, contact Mr. Paul Pellicano,
Aerospace Engineer (Icing Specialist), Atlanta Aircraft
Certification Office, FAA, One Crown Center, 1895 Phoenix Boulevard,
Suite 450, Atlanta, Georgia 30349; telephone: (770) 703-6064;
facsimile: (770) 703-6097.
May I Get Copies of the Documents Referenced in This AD?
(i) You may view the AD docket at the Docket Management
Facility; U.S. Department of Transportation, 400 Seventh Street,
SW., Nassif Building, Room PL-401, Washington, DC, or on the
