ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This amendment adopts a
new airworthiness directive (AD),
applicable to all Cessna Model 650
airplanes, that requires inspecting to
determine the part number of the
actuator control unit (ACU) and
replacing the ACU with a new,
improved ACU if necessary. This AD
also requires revising the Limitations
section of the airplane flight manual.
The actions specified by this AD are
intended to prevent uncommanded
movement of the horizontal stabilizer,
which could result in reduced
controllability of the airplane. This
action is intended to address the
identified unsafe condition.
DATES: Effective July 29, 2005.

A
proposal to amend part 39 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to
include an airworthiness directive (AD)
that is applicable to all Cessna Model
650 airplanes was published as a
supplemental notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal
Register on April 22, 2005 (70 FR
20844). That action proposed to require
inspecting to determine the part number
of the actuator control unit (ACU) and
replacing the ACU with a new,
improved ACU if necessary. That action
also proposed to require revising the
Limitations section of the airplane flight
manual.

Comments
Interested persons have been afforded
an opportunity to participate in the
making of this amendment. We did not
receive any comments on the proposed
AD.
Conclusion
After careful review of the available
data, the FAA has determined that air
safety and the public interest require the
adoption of the rule as proposed.
Cost Impact
There are approximately 357
airplanes of the affected design in the
worldwide fleet. The FAA estimates that
285 airplanes of U.S. registry will be
affected by this AD.
We estimate that it will take
approximately 2 work hours per
airplane to replace the ACU, and that
the average labor rate is $65 per work
hour. Required parts will cost
approximately $3,000 per airplane, if
the ACU is exchanged. Based on these
figures, the cost impact of the AD on
U.S. operators is estimated to be
$892,050, or $3,130 per airplane.
The cost impact figure discussed
above is based on assumptions that no
operator has yet accomplished any of
the requirements of this AD action, and
that no operator would accomplish
those actions in the future if this AD
were not adopted. The cost impact
figures discussed in AD rulemaking
actions represent only the time
necessary to perform the specific actions
actually required by the AD. These
figures typically do not include
incidental costs, such as the time
required to gain access and close up,
planning time, or time necessitated by
E:\FR\FM\24JNR1.SGM
24JNR1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 121 / Friday, June 24, 2005 / Rules and Regulations
other administrative actions. The
manufacturer may cover the cost of
replacement parts associated with this
proposed AD, subject to warranty
conditions. As a result, the costs
attributable to the proposed AD may be
less than stated above.
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 Impact
The regulations adopted herein 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. Therefore, it is
determined that this final rule does not
have federalism implications under
Executive Order 13132.
For the reasons discussed above, I
certify that this action (1) is not a
‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a
‘‘significant rule’’ under 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. A final evaluation has
been prepared for this action and it is
contained in the Rules Docket. A copy
of it may be obtained from the Rules
Docket at the location provided under
the caption ADDRESSES.

2005–13–21 Cessna Aircraft Company:
Amendment 39–14158. Docket 2002–
NM–332–AD.
Applicability: All Model 650 airplanes,
certificated in any category.
Compliance: Required as indicated, unless
accomplished previously.
To prevent uncommanded movement of
the horizontal stabilizer, which could result
in reduced controllability of the airplane,
accomplish the following:
Inspection and Replacement if Necessary
(a) Within 12 months after the effective
date of this AD, inspect to determine the part
number (P/N) of the actuator control unit
(ACU), in accordance with the
Accomplishment Instructions of Cessna
Service Bulletin SB 650–27–53, dated March
11, 2004. If an ACU having P/N 9914197–7
is installed on the airplane, then no further
action is required by this paragraph. If an
ACU having P/N 9914197–3 or P/N 9914197–
4 is installed on the airplane, replace the
existing ACU with a new, improved ACU
having P/N 9914197–7, in accordance with
the service bulletin. Although the service
bulletin specifies to submit certain
information to the manufacturer, this AD
does not include that requirement.
Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) Revision
(b) Within 1 month after the effective date
of this AD or concurrently with the
replacement required by paragraph (a) of this
AD, whichever is first: Revise the Limitations
and Normal Procedures sections of the AFM

Boeing Model 747–400, –400D, –400F;
767–200, –300, –300F; and 777–200 and
–300 series airplanes. This AD requires
installing a jumper wire between the
wiring of the fire extinguisher switch
and the fuel shutoff switch for each
engine, and other specified actions. This
AD is prompted by a certain
combination of conditions, which could
cause the fuel spar shutoff valves to
remain partially open. We are issuing
this AD to prevent a latent open circuit
that could leave the fuel spar shutoff
valve in a partially open position when
the engine fire switch is activated,
which could result in fuel from the
engine feeding an uncontrolled fire in
the engine or the strut.

Supportive Comment
One commenter states that they have
accomplished the necessary airplane
modifications on all affected Model
777–200 series airplanes in their fleet.
In addition, the commenter states that
no additional work is necessary to
comply with Boeing Service Bulletin
777–28–0025, Revision 1, dated March
17, 2005. The commenter did not state
any finding of service problems or errors
in either the service bulletins or the AD,
nor has the commenter suggested any
change to the AD. We infer that the
commenter has no objections to the AD.
Request to Revise Service Bulletin
References
One commenter requests that we
coordinate the release of this AD with
the pending revisions to Boeing Special
Attention Service Bulletins 747–28–

commenter states that several
information notices describe changes to
the work instructions that will be
incorporated into pending service
bulletin revisions. If this AD is released
calling for the un-revised service
bulletins, each airline would need to
request an alternative method of
compliance (AMOC) to allow the
incorporation of the revised work
instructions. We infer that the
commenter wants the AD to reference
the revised service bulletins.
We agree with the commenter’s
request to reference the revised service
bulletins. We have reviewed Boeing
Service Bulletins 747–28–2238,
Revision 1; and 777–28–0025, Revision
1; both dated March 17, 2005. The
revisions incorporate the changes
described in the information notices.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A proposal to amend part 39 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to include an airworthiness
directive (AD) that is applicable to all Cessna Model 650 airplanes was
published as a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the
Federal Register on April 22, 2005 (70 FR 20844). That action proposed
to require inspecting to determine the part number of the actuator
control unit (ACU) and replacing the ACU with a new, improved ACU if
necessary. That action also proposed to require revising the
Limitations section of the airplane flight manual.
Comments
Interested persons have been afforded an opportunity to participate
in the making of this amendment. We did not receive any comments on the
proposed AD.
Conclusion
After careful review of the available data, the FAA has determined
that air safety and the public interest require the adoption of the
rule as proposed.
Cost Impact
There are approximately 357 airplanes of the affected design in the
worldwide fleet. The FAA estimates that 285 airplanes of U.S. registry
will be affected by this AD.
We estimate that it will take approximately 2 work hours per
airplane to replace the ACU, and that the average labor rate is $65 per
work hour. Required parts will cost approximately $3,000 per airplane,
if the ACU is exchanged. Based on these figures, the cost impact of the
AD on U.S. operators is estimated to be $892,050, or $3,130 per
airplane.
The cost impact figure discussed above is based on assumptions that
no operator has yet accomplished any of the requirements of this AD
action, and that no operator would accomplish those actions in the
future if this AD were not adopted. The cost impact figures discussed
in AD rulemaking actions represent only the time necessary to perform
the specific actions actually required by the AD. These figures
typically do not include incidental costs, such as the time required to
gain access and close up, planning time, or time necessitated by
[[Page 36473]]
other administrative actions. The manufacturer may cover the cost of
replacement parts associated with this proposed AD, subject to warranty
conditions. As a result, the costs attributable to the proposed AD may
be less than stated above.
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 Impact
The regulations adopted herein 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. Therefore, it
is determined that this final rule does not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132.
For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this action (1) is
not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866;
(2) is not a ``significant rule'' under 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. A final evaluation has been prepared for this action
and it is contained in the Rules Docket. A copy of it may be obtained
from the Rules Docket at the location provided under the caption

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.
Sec. 39.13 [Amended]

2. Section 39.13 is amended by adding the following new airworthiness
directive:
2005-13-21 Cessna Aircraft Company: Amendment 39-14158. Docket 2002-
NM-332-AD.
Applicability: All Model 650 airplanes, certificated in any
category.
Compliance: Required as indicated, unless accomplished
previously.
To prevent uncommanded movement of the horizontal stabilizer,
which could result in reduced controllability of the airplane,
accomplish the following:
Inspection and Replacement if Necessary
(a) Within 12 months after the effective date of this AD,
inspect to determine the part number (P/N) of the actuator control
unit (ACU), in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of
Cessna Service Bulletin SB 650-27-53, dated March 11, 2004. If an
ACU having P/N 9914197-7 is installed on the airplane, then no
further action is required by this paragraph. If an ACU having P/N
9914197-3 or P/N 9914197-4 is installed on the airplane, replace the
existing ACU with a new, improved ACU having P/N 9914197-7, in
accordance with the service bulletin. Although the service bulletin
specifies to submit certain information to the manufacturer, this AD
does not include that requirement.
Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) Revision
(b) Within 1 month after the effective date of this AD or
concurrently with the replacement required by paragraph (a) of this
AD, whichever is first: Revise the Limitations and Normal Procedures
sections of the AFM by inserting into the AFM a copy of all the
applicable Cessna temporary revisions (TRs) listed in Table 1 of
this AD.
Note 1: When a statement identical to that in the applicable
TR(s) listed in Table 1 of this AD has been included in the general
revisions of the AFM, the general revisions may be inserted into the
AFM, and the copy of the applicable TR may be removed from the AFM.
