Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 104 / Wednesday, June 1, 2005 / Proposed Rules
The labor and part costs are covered
by Raytheon Aircraft Company
warranty.
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
Would this proposed AD impact
various entities? We have 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.
Would this proposed AD involve a
significant rule or regulatory action? For
the reasons discussed above, I certify
that this proposed 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 proposed AD (and
other information as included in the
Regulatory Evaluation) 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 ‘‘AD Docket FAA–2005–21239;
Directorate Identifier 2005–CE–27–AD’’
in your request.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39
Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation
safety, Safety.

handles if necessary. Since the NPRM
was issued, we have received new data
that the identified unsafe condition has
been corrected on all airplanes that
would have been subject to the NPRM.
Accordingly, the proposed AD is
withdrawn.
ADDRESSES: You can examine the AD
docket on the Internet at https://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We proposed to amend part 39 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR
part 39) with a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) for a new AD for all
EMBRAER Model ERJ 170 series
airplanes. That NPRM was published in
the Federal Register on March 8, 2005
(70 FR 11172). The NPRM would have
required inspecting the engine fire
handles of the overhead panel in the
cockpit, and replacing the engine fire
handles if necessary. The NPRM was
prompted by reports of failure of the
internal circuit of the engine fire
handles of the overhead panel in the
cockpit. The proposed actions were
intended to prevent failure of the
internal circuit of the engine fire
handles, which could result in failure of
the fuel shut-off valves to close and
failure of the fire extinguishing agent to
discharge in the event of an engine fire.
Actions Since NPRM Was Issued
Since we issued the NPRM, the
airplane manufacturer has provided us
with data that indicate that the
identified unsafe condition (failure of
VerDate jul<14>2003
14:50 May 31, 2005
Jkt 205001
the internal circuit of the engine fire
handles, which could result in failure of
the fuel shut-off valves to close and
failure of the fire extinguishing agent to
discharge in the event of an engine fire)
has already been corrected on all
airplanes that would have been subject
to the NPRM, and that all affected spare
parts have been returned to the
manufacturer and destroyed.
FAA’s Conclusions
Upon further consideration, we have
determined that the actions that would
have been required by the NPRM have
already been done on all affected
airplanes, and the identified unsafe
condition has been corrected.
Accordingly, the NPRM is withdrawn.
Withdrawal of the NPRM does not
preclude the FAA from issuing another
related action or commit the FAA to any
course of action in the future.
Regulatory Impact
Since this action only withdraws an
NPRM, it is neither a proposed nor a
final rule and therefore is not covered
under Executive Order 12866, the
Regulatory Flexibility Act, or DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44
FR 11034, February 26, 1979).

The Withdrawal
Accordingly, we withdraw the NPRM,

Discussion
We proposed to amend part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations
(14 CFR part 39) with a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for a new
AD for all EMBRAER Model ERJ 170 series airplanes. That NPRM was
published in the Federal Register on March 8, 2005 (70 FR 11172). The
NPRM would have required inspecting the engine fire handles of the
overhead panel in the cockpit, and replacing the engine fire handles if
necessary. The NPRM was prompted by reports of failure of the internal
circuit of the engine fire handles of the overhead panel in the
cockpit. The proposed actions were intended to prevent failure of the
internal circuit of the engine fire handles, which could result in
failure of the fuel shut-off valves to close and failure of the fire
extinguishing agent to discharge in the event of an engine fire.
Actions Since NPRM Was Issued
Since we issued the NPRM, the airplane manufacturer has provided us
with data that indicate that the identified unsafe condition (failure
of the internal circuit of the engine fire handles, which could result
in failure of the fuel shut-off valves to close and failure of the fire
extinguishing agent to discharge in the event of an engine fire) has
already been corrected on all airplanes that would have been subject to

FAA's Conclusions
Upon further consideration, we have determined that the actions

Withdrawal of the NPRM does not preclude the FAA from issuing

future.
Regulatory Impact
Since this action only withdraws an NPRM, it is neither a proposed
