through Friday, except Federal holidays.
The Docket Management Facility office
(telephone (800) 647–5227) is located on
the plaza level of the Nassif Building at
the street address stated in the
ADDRESSES section.
Discussion
The FAA issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would
apply to all EMBRAER Model EMB–120,
–120ER, –120FC, –120QC, and –120RT
airplanes. That NPRM was published in
the Federal Register on October 7, 2005
(70 FR 58626). That NPRM proposed to
require modifying electrical harnesses
located at the left- and right-hand wing
roots; and re-routing and modifying the
harness of the right-hand outboard flap
actuator.
Comments
We provided the public the
opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. We received no
comments on the NPRM or on the
determination of the cost to the public.
Conclusion
We have carefully reviewed the
available data and determined that air
safety and the public interest require
adopting the AD as proposed.
This AD will affect about 112
airplanes of U.S. registry. The actions
will take about 8 work hours per
airplane, at an average labor rate of $65
per work hour. Required parts will cost
about $979 per airplane. Based on these
figures, the estimated cost of the AD for
U.S. operators is $167,888, or $1,499 per
airplane.
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
18:02 Dec 02, 2005
Jkt 208001
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 and placed it in the AD docket.
See the ADDRESSES section for a location
to examine the regulatory evaluation.

existing airworthiness directive (AD),
which applies to all Aerospatiale Model
ATR42–200, ATR42–300, and ATR42–
320 airplanes. That AD currently
requires inspections to determine the
proper installation of rivets in certain
key holes and to detect cracks in the
area of the key holes where rivets are
missing; and correction of
discrepancies. The existing AD also
requires various inspections of the
subject area for discrepancies, and
corrective actions if necessary; and
replacement of certain cargo door hinges

Jkt 208001
with new hinges. For certain airplanes,
the existing AD also requires
replacement of friction plates, stop
fittings, and bolts with new parts. This
new AD requires additional corrective
actions for certain airplanes. This AD
results from discovery of cracks around
key holes on certain fuselage frames
where rivets were missing. We are
issuing this AD to prevent fatigue cracks
of the cargo door skin, certain frames,
and entry door stop fittings and friction
plates, which could result in reduced
structural integrity of the airplane.
DATES: This AD becomes effective
January 9, 2006.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
of a certain publication listed in the AD
as of January 9, 2006.
On April 26, 2000 (65 FR 15226,

ATR42–200, ATR42–300 and ATR42–
320 airplanes. That NPRM was
published in the Federal Register on
September 19, 2005 (70 FR 54856). That
NPRM proposed to continue to require
inspections to determine the proper
installation of rivets in certain key holes
and to detect cracks in the area of the
key holes where rivets are missing; and
correction of discrepancies. That NPRM
also proposed to continue to require

cargo door hinges with new hinges. For
certain airplanes, that NPRM proposed
to continue to require replacement of
friction plates, stop fittings, and bolts

proposed to require additional
corrective actions for certain airplanes.
Comments
We provided the public the
opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. No comments
have been received on the NPRM or on
the determination of the cost to the
public.
Clarification of Effective Date
We have revised Note 2 of this AD to
include the effective date of AD 2000–

Clarification of Alternative Method of
Compliance (AMOC) Paragraph
We have revised this action to clarify
the appropriate procedure for notifying
the principal inspector before using any
approved AMOC on any airplane to
which the AMOC applies.
Conclusion
We have carefully reviewed the
available data 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
This AD will affect about 106

reviews conducted by the manufacturer. We are issuing this AD to
prevent chafed electrical harnesses, which could result in a potential
source of ignition for fuel vapors near a fuel tank and consequent fire
or fuel tank explosion.
DATES: This AD becomes effective January 9, 2006.

Discussion
The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to all EMBRAER Model EMB-
120, -120ER, -120FC, -120QC, and -120RT airplanes. That NPRM was
published in the Federal Register on October 7, 2005 (70 FR 58626).
That NPRM proposed to require modifying electrical harnesses located at
the left- and right-hand wing roots; and re-routing and modifying the
harness of the right-hand outboard flap actuator.
Comments
We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the
determination of the cost to the public.
Conclusion
We have carefully reviewed the available data and determined that
air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.
Costs of Compliance
This AD will affect about 112 airplanes of U.S. registry. The
actions will take about 8 work hours per airplane, at an average labor
rate of $65 per work hour. Required parts will cost about $979 per
airplane. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the AD for U.S.
operators is $167,888, or $1,499 per airplane.
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 and placed it in the AD docket. See the ADDRESSES
section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation.
