ACTION:
SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a
new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Cirrus Design Corporation (CDC)
Model SR20 and SR22 airplanes. This
proposed AD would require you to
inspect the fuel line and wire bundles
for any chafing damage; if any chafing
damage is found, replace any damaged
fuel line and repair any damaged wires
or sheathing of the wire harness; and
install the forward loop clamp, fuel line
shield, aft loop clamp, and anti-chafe
tubing. This proposed AD results from
reports of fuel line leaks resulting from
wire chafing on the fuel lines. We are
issuing this proposed AD to detect and
correct damage to the fuel line and wire
bundles, which could result in fuel
leaks. This failure could lead to unsafe
fuel vapor within the cockpit and
possible fire.

Costs of Compliance
Discussion
What events have caused this
proposed AD? The FAA has received
two reports of fuel line leaks within a
compartment in the center console of
Model SR22 airplanes. This
compartment is drained to the belly of
the aircraft. Investigation found that the
leaks resulted from wire chafing on the
fuel lines.
What is the potential impact if FAA
took no action? This condition, if not
corrected, could result in unsafe fuel
vapor within the cockpit and possible
fire.
Relevant Service Information
Is there service information that
applies to this subject? We have
reviewed Cirrus Design Corporation
Service Bulletin SB 2X–28–04 R1,
Issued: November 1, 2005, Revised:
November 8, 2005.
What are the provisions of this service
information? The service information
describes procedures for:
• Fuel line chafing inspection; and
• Protective measures to prevent a
potential chafing condition.
FAA’s Determination and Requirements
of the Proposed AD
Why have we determined AD action is
necessary and what would this
proposed AD require? We are proposing
this AD to address an unsafe condition
that we determined is likely to exist or
develop on other products of this same
type design. The proposed AD would

Frm 00009
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
How many airplanes would this
proposed AD impact? We estimate that
this proposed AD affects 2,135 airplanes
in the U.S. registry.
What would be the cost impact of this
proposed AD on owners/operators of the
affected airplanes? The manufacturer
will cover parts and labor costs if the
work is done within the standard
airplane warranty period and the work
is done at any of the manufacturer’s
authorized service centers.
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 rulemaking
action.
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.
For the reasons discussed above, I
certify that the proposed regulation:
1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under Executive Order 12866;
E:\FR\FM\08DEP1.SGM
08DEP1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 235 / Thursday, December 8, 2005 / Proposed Rules
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 proposed AD. See the ADDRESSES
section for a location to examine the
regulatory evaluation.

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a
new airworthiness directive (AD) for
Hamilton Sundstrand (formerly
Hamilton Standard Division of United
Technologies Corporation) Model 14RF–
19 propellers. This proposed AD would
require replacing certain actuator yokes
with improved actuator yokes. This
proposed AD results from certain
propeller system actuator yoke arms
breaking during flight. We are proposing
this AD to prevent actuator yoke arms
breaking during flight, which could
cause high propeller vibration, requiring
the pilot to feather the propeller, and
could contribute to reduced
controllability of the airplane.

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.
For the reasons discussed above, I certify that the proposed
regulation:
1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
[[Page 72947]]
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 proposed AD. See the ADDRESSES section for a location
to examine the regulatory evaluation.
