SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
VerDate jul<14>2003
14:24 Jul 29, 2005
Jkt 205001
AvCraft Dornier Model 328–300
airplanes. This AD requires modifying
the electrical wiring of the fuel pumps;
installing insulation at the flow control
and shut-off valves, and other
components of the environmental
control system; installing markings at
fuel wiring harnesses; replacing the
wiring harness of the auxiliary fuel
system with a new wiring harness; and
installing insulated couplings in the fuel
system; as applicable. This AD also
requires revising the Airworthiness
Limitations section of the Instructions
for Continued Airworthiness to
incorporate new inspections of the fuel
tank system. This AD is prompted by
the results of fuel system reviews
conducted by the airplane
manufacturer. We are issuing this AD to
reduce the potential of ignition sources
inside fuel tanks, which, in combination
with flammable fuel vapors, could result
in fuel tank explosions and consequent
loss of the airplane.
DATES: This AD becomes effective
September 6, 2005.
The incorporation by reference of
certain publications listed in the AD is
approved by the Director of the Federal
Register as of September 6, 2005.
ADDRESSES: For service information
identified in this AD, contact AvCraft
Aerospace GmbH, P.O. Box 1103, D–
82230 Wessling, Germany.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA
proposed to amend 14 CFR part 39 with
an AD for certain AvCraft Dornier
Model 328–300 airplanes. That action,
published in the Federal Register on
April 26, 2005 (70 FR 21346), proposed
to require modifying the electrical
wiring of the fuel pumps; installing
insulation at the flow control and shut-

off valves, and other components of the
environmental control system; installing
markings at fuel wiring harnesses;
replacing the wiring harness of the
auxiliary fuel system with a new wiring
harness; and installing insulated
couplings in the fuel system; as
applicable. That action also proposed to
require revising the Airworthiness
Limitations section of the Instructions
for Continued Airworthiness to
incorporate new inspections of the fuel
tank system.
Comments
We provided the public the
opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. We have
considered the single comment that was
submitted on the proposed AD.
Provide for Incorporation of Temporary
Revision By Normal Revision Process
The commenter requests that we
revise paragraph (h) of the proposed AD
to provide for incorporation of AvCraft
Temporary Revision (TR) ALD–028,
dated October 15, 2003, into the body of
the Airworthiness Limitations section of
the Instructions for Continued
Airworthiness document through the
normal revision process. The
commenter notes that the proposed AD,
as written, would require the TR to
remain in the Airworthiness Limitations
section forever. However, once the
information in the TR is incorporated
into the Airworthiness Limitations
section through the normal revision
process, the TR document will be
unnecessary.
We agree. We have revised paragraph
(h) of this AD accordingly, and added a
new note, Note 1, to clarify the revised
language in paragraph (h). These
changes will allow the TR to be
removed from the Airworthiness
Limitations once the information in the
TR has been incorporated into the
Airworthiness Limitations by the
normal revision process.
Explanation of Change to Applicability
We have revised the applicability of
this AD to identify model designations
as published in the most recent type
certificate data sheet for the affected
model.
Explanation of Changes to Tables 1 and
2 of Proposed AD
Tables 1 and 2 of the proposed AD
incorrectly referred to paragraphs that
do not exist in the referenced service
bulletins. We have revised Tables 1 and
2 of this AD to refer to the correct
paragraphs in the referenced service
bulletins.

Conclusion
We have carefully reviewed the
available data, including the comment
that has been submitted, and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting the AD
with the changes described previously.
We have determined that these changes
will neither increase the economic
burden on any operator nor increase the
scope of the AD.
Costs of Compliance

estimated costs for U.S. operators to
comply with this AD. The average labor
rate is $65 per hour.

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.
(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.
We prepared a regulatory evaluation
of the estimated costs to comply with
this AD. See the ADDRESSES section for
a location to examine the regulatory
evaluation.
Regulatory Findings
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.
For the reasons discussed above, I
certify that this AD:
(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under Executive Order 12866;

ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain AvCraft Dornier Model 328-300 airplanes. This AD requires
modifying the electrical wiring of the fuel pumps; installing
insulation at the flow control and shut-off valves, and other
components of the environmental control system; installing markings at
fuel wiring harnesses; replacing the wiring harness of the auxiliary
fuel system with a new wiring harness; and installing insulated
couplings in the fuel system; as applicable. This AD also requires
revising the Airworthiness Limitations section of the Instructions for
Continued Airworthiness to incorporate new inspections of the fuel tank
system. This AD is prompted by the results of fuel system reviews
conducted by the airplane manufacturer. We are issuing this AD to
reduce the potential of ignition sources inside fuel tanks, which, in
combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in fuel tank
explosions and consequent loss of the airplane.
DATES: This AD becomes effective September 6, 2005.
The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the AD is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of
September 6, 2005.
ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact
AvCraft Aerospace GmbH, P.O. Box 1103, D-82230 Wessling, Germany.
Docket: The AD docket contains the proposed AD, comments, and any
final disposition. You can examine the AD docket on the Internet at
https://dms.dot.gov, or in person at the Docket Management Facility
office between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 39
with an AD for certain AvCraft Dornier Model 328-300 airplanes. That
action, published in the Federal Register on April 26, 2005 (70 FR
21346), proposed to require modifying the electrical wiring of the fuel
pumps; installing insulation at the flow control and shut-off valves,
and other components of the environmental control system; installing
markings at fuel wiring harnesses; replacing the wiring harness of the
auxiliary fuel system with a new wiring harness; and installing
insulated couplings in the fuel system; as applicable. That action also
proposed to require revising the Airworthiness Limitations section of
the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness to incorporate new
inspections of the fuel tank system.
Comments
We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. We have considered the single comment that was
submitted on the proposed AD.
Provide for Incorporation of Temporary Revision By Normal Revision
Process
The commenter requests that we revise paragraph (h) of the proposed
AD to provide for incorporation of AvCraft Temporary Revision (TR) ALD-
028, dated October 15, 2003, into the body of the Airworthiness
Limitations section of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness
document through the normal revision process. The commenter notes that
the proposed AD, as written, would require the TR to remain in the
Airworthiness Limitations section forever. However, once the
information in the TR is incorporated into the Airworthiness
Limitations section through the normal revision process, the TR
document will be unnecessary.
We agree. We have revised paragraph (h) of this AD accordingly, and
added a new note, Note 1, to clarify the revised language in paragraph
(h). These changes will allow the TR to be removed from the
Airworthiness Limitations once the information in the TR has been
incorporated into the Airworthiness Limitations by the normal revision
process.
Explanation of Change to Applicability
We have revised the applicability of this AD to identify model
designations as published in the most recent type certificate data
sheet for the affected model.
Explanation of Changes to Tables 1 and 2 of Proposed AD
Tables 1 and 2 of the proposed AD incorrectly referred to
paragraphs that do not exist in the referenced service bulletins. We
have revised Tables 1 and 2 of this AD to refer to the correct
paragraphs in the referenced service bulletins.
[[Page 44047]]
Conclusion
We have carefully reviewed the available data, including the
comment that has been submitted, and determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting the AD with the changes described
previously. We have determined that these changes will neither increase
the economic burden on any operator nor increase the scope of the AD.
Costs of Compliance
The following table provides the estimated costs for U.S. operators
to comply with this AD. The average labor rate is $65 per hour.

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 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.
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 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 AD. See the ADDRESSES section for a location to
examine the regulatory evaluation.
