ACTION: Supplemental notice of

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The FAA is revising an earlier
proposed airworthiness directive (AD)
for certain Cessna Model 500, 501, 550,
S550, 551, and 560 airplanes. The
original NPRM would have required
revising the airplane flight manual
(AFM) to prohibit use of the wing fuel
boost pumps for defueling under certain
PO 00000
Frm 00003

Sfmt 4702
conditions; installing a placard; doing
other specified investigative and
corrective actions as necessary; and
modifying the boost pumps. The
original NPRM also would have
required the subsequent removal of the
AFM revision and placard. The original
NPRM resulted from a report of a chafed
electrical wiring harness, which was
arcing inside the fuel tank. This action
revises the original NPRM by
identifying certain service information
not identified in the original NPRM. We
are proposing this supplemental NPRM
to prevent potential fuel vapor ignition
in a fuel tank, which could result in
explosion and loss of the airplane.
DATES: We must receive comments on
this supplemental NPRM by November
21, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Use one of the following
addresses to submit comments on this
supplemental NPRM.

Discussion
We proposed to amend 14 CFR part
39 with a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) for an AD (the ‘‘original
NPRM’’) for certain Cessna Model 500,
501, 550, S550, 551, and 560 airplanes.
The original NPRM was published in
the Federal Register on April 18, 2005
(70 FR 20083). The original NPRM
proposed to require revising the
airplane flight manual (AFM) to prohibit
use of the wing fuel boost pumps for
defueling under certain conditions;
installing a placard; doing other
specified investigative and corrective
actions as necessary; and modifying the
boost pumps. The original NPRM also
proposed to require the subsequent
removal of the AFM revision and
placard.
Actions Since Original NPRM Was
Issued
Since we issued the original NPRM,
we received no comments on the
original NPRM or on the determination
of the cost to the public. However, we
have learned that the temporary
revisions (TRs) were not identified in
certain service bulletins cited in the
original NPRM. This information is
provided in the table in the next section.
Relevant Service Information
We have reviewed the TRs identified
in the following table.

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
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.
For the reasons discussed above, I
certify that the proposed regulation:

action’’ under Executive Order 12866;

(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 supplemental NPRM and placed it
in the AD docket. See the ADDRESSES
section for a location to examine the
regulatory evaluation.

Airworthiness Directives; Cessna Model 500, 501, 550, S550, 551,
and 560 Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM); reopening of
comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA is revising an earlier proposed airworthiness
directive (AD) for certain Cessna Model 500, 501, 550, S550, 551, and
560 airplanes. The original NPRM would have required revising the
airplane flight manual (AFM) to prohibit use of the wing fuel boost
pumps for defueling under certain conditions; installing a placard;
doing other specified investigative and corrective actions as
necessary; and modifying the boost pumps. The original NPRM also would
have required the subsequent removal of the AFM revision and placard.
The original NPRM resulted from a report of a chafed electrical wiring
harness, which was arcing inside the fuel tank. This action revises the
original NPRM by identifying certain service information not identified
in the original NPRM. We are proposing this supplemental NPRM to
prevent potential fuel vapor ignition in a fuel tank, which could
result in explosion and loss of the airplane.
DATES: We must receive comments on this supplemental NPRM by November
21, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Use one of the following addresses to submit comments on
this supplemental NPRM.
DOT Docket Web site: Go to https://dms.dot.gov and follow
the instructions for sending your comments electronically.

Discussion
We proposed to amend 14 CFR part 39 with a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) for an AD (the ``original NPRM'') for certain Cessna
Model 500, 501, 550, S550, 551, and 560 airplanes. The original NPRM
was published in the Federal Register on April 18, 2005 (70 FR 20083).
The original NPRM proposed to require revising the airplane flight
manual (AFM) to prohibit use of the wing fuel boost pumps for defueling
under certain conditions; installing a placard; doing other specified
investigative and corrective actions as necessary; and modifying the
boost pumps. The original NPRM also proposed to require the subsequent
removal of the AFM revision and placard.
Actions Since Original NPRM Was Issued
Since we issued the original NPRM, we received no comments on the
original NPRM or on the determination of the cost to the public.
However, we have learned that the temporary revisions (TRs) were not
identified in certain service bulletins cited in the original NPRM.
This information is provided in the table in the next section.
Relevant Service Information
We have reviewed the TRs identified in the following table.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The TRs prohibit use of the wing fuel boost pumps for defueling
under certain conditions. Accomplishing the actions specified in the
service information described in the original and supplemental NPRMs is
intended to adequately address the unsafe condition.
FAA's Determination and Proposed Requirements of the Supplemental NPRM
The changes discussed above expand the scope of the original NPRM;
therefore, we have determined that it is necessary to reopen the
comment period to provide additional opportunity for public comment on
this supplemental NPRM.
Costs of Compliance
There are about 2,397 airplanes of the affected design in the
worldwide fleet. The following table provides the estimated costs for
U.S. operators to comply with this supplemental NPRM.

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 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.
For the reasons discussed above, I certify that the proposed
regulation:
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 regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this supplemental NPRM and placed it in the AD docket. See
the ADDRESSES section for a location to examine the regulatory
evaluation.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39
Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety.
