AGENCY: SUMMARY: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain EMBRAER Model EMB–135 airplanes; and Model EMB– 145, –145ER, –145MR, –145LR, –145XR, –145MP, and –145EP airplanes, that requires performing repetitive inspections for cracks, ruptures, or bends in certain components of the elevator control system; replacing discrepant components; and, for certain airplanes, installing a new spring cartridge and implementing new logic for the electromechanical gust lock system. The AD also requires eventual modification of the elevator gust lock system to replace the mechanical system with an electromechanical system, which will terminate the repetitive inspections. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent discrepancies in the elevator control system, which could result in reduced control of the elevator and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition. DATES: Effective February 3, 2006. E:\FR\FM\30DER1.SGM 30DER1 77304 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 250 / Friday, December 30, 2005 / Rules and Regulations The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of February 3, 2006. The service information referenced in this AD may be obtained from Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER), P.O. Box 343—CEP 12.225, Sao Jose dos Campos—SP, Brazil. This information may be examined at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Transport Airplane Directorate, Rules Docket, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington. ADDRESSES: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Todd Thompson, Aerospace Engineer, International Branch, ANM–116, FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington 98055–4056; telephone (425) 227–1175; fax (425) 227–1149. 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 certain EMBRAER Model EMB–135 and –145 series airplanes was published as a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register on September 21, 2005 (70 FR 55310). That action proposed to require performing repetitive inspections for cracks, ruptures, or bends in certain components of the elevator control system; replacing discrepant components; and, for certain airplanes, installing a new spring cartridge and implementing new logic for the electromechanical gust lock system. The proposed AD also would have required eventual modification of the elevator gust lock system to replace the mechanical system with an electromechanical system, which would terminate the repetitive inspections. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments Interested persons have been afforded an opportunity to participate in the making of this amendment. No comments to the proposed AD were received. wwhite on PROD1PC61 with RULES Correction to Final Rule In paragraph (c)(2) of the supplemental NPRM we inadvertently used an incorrect date for EMBRAER Service Bulletin 145–27–0086, Change 04, dated March 21, 2005, and have corrected the date accordingly in the final rule. VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:36 Dec 29, 2005 Jkt 208001 Clarification of Appropriate Service Information We have revised paragraphs (c)(1)(i) and (c)(1)(ii) of this AD to clarify that the actions required by those paragraphs must be done in accordance with EMBRAER Service Bulletin 145–27– 0075, Revision 08, dated March 3, 2005. 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. Explanation of Change to Applicability We specify model designations in the applicability of this proposed AD as those designations are published in the most recent type certificate data sheet for the affected models. These model designations differ in the referenced service bulletin(s). 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. Cost Impact We estimate that 300 airplanes of U.S. registry will be affected by this AD. It will take approximately 1 work hour per airplane, per inspection cycle, to accomplish the inspection, at an average labor rate of $65 per work hour. Based on these figures, the cost impact of this action on U.S. operators is estimated to be $19,500, or $65 per airplane, per inspection cycle. We estimate that 108 airplanes of U.S. registry will be subject to EMBRAER Service Bulletin 145–27–0075, Revision 08, dated March 3, 2005. For these airplanes, it will take up to 65 work hours to accomplish the modification in that service bulletin, at an average labor rate of $65 per work hour. Required parts will cost up to $14,000 per airplane. Based on these figures, the cost impact of this action on U.S. operators is estimated to be up to $1,968,300, or $18,225 per airplane. We estimate that 192 airplanes of U.S. registry will be subject to EMBRAER Service Bulletin 145–27–0086, Change 04, dated March 21, 2005. For these airplanes, it will take approximately 133 work hours to accomplish the modification in that service bulletin, at an average labor rate of $65 per work PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 hour. Required parts will cost up to $23,164 per airplane. Based on these figures, the cost impact of this action on U.S. operators is estimated to be up to $6,107,328, or $31,809 per airplane. The cost impact figures discussed above are 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 other administrative actions. 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 E:\FR\FM\30DER1.SGM 30DER1 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 250 / Friday, December 30, 2005 / Rules and Regulations Flexibility Act.

ACTION: Final rule. wwhite on PROD1PC61 with RULES AGENCY: SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Airbus Model A300–600 and A310 series airplanes. That AD currently requires repetitive visual inspections to detect corrosion on the lower rim area of the fuselage rear pressure bulkhead; and follow-on actions, if necessary. This new AD requires new repetitive inspections for corrosion on the rear pressure bulkhead between stringer (STGR) 27 (right hand) and STGR27 (left hand), and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. This AD also requires sending a report of certain information to the manufacturer. The AD also adds airplanes to the applicability of the existing AD. This AD results from findings of severe corrosion on airplanes previously inspected in accordance with the existing AD. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct corrosion at the lower rim area of the fuselage rear pressure bulkhead, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the bulkhead, and consequent decompression of the cabin. DATES: This AD becomes effective February 3, 2006. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:36 Dec 29, 2005 Jkt 208001 Tim Backman, Aerospace Engineer, International Branch, ANM–116, FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington 98055–4056; telephone (425) 227–2797; fax (425) 227–1149. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Examining the Docket You may examine the airworthiness directive (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 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 supersedes AD 98–19–22, amendment 39–10763 (63 FR 49656, September 17, 1998). The existing AD applies to certain Airbus Model A300–600 and A310 series airplanes. That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on August 22, 2005 (70 FR 48911). That NPRM proposed to require repetitive inspections for corrosion on the rear pressure bulkhead between stringer (STGR) 27 (right hand) and STGR27 (left hand), and related investigative/ corrective actions if necessary; and sending a report of certain information to the manufacturer. Comments We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the development of this AD. We have considered the comments that have been received on the NPRM. PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 77307 Request To Reference Latest Issue of Service Bulletin The commenter states that Airbus has revised Service Bulletin A300–53–6136, dated October 27, 2004, which was referenced as the appropriate source of service information for accomplishing the proposed actions for certain Airbus airplanes. The commenter points out that this service bulletin is now at Revision 01, dated July 18, 2005. The commenter states that Revision 01 of Service Bulletin A300–53–6136 corrects the flow chart in Figure 1 of the service bulletin by changing the sequence of certain inspections, removes information in a flag note, and removes the replacement of titanium fasteners in certain circumstances. The commenter recommends that we reference Airbus Service Bulletin A300–53–6136, Revision 01, and that we also give credit for actions done before the effective date of this AD in accordance with the original issue of this service bulletin. We agree with the commenter. We have revised Table 1 of the AD to refer to Airbus Service Bulletin A300–53– 6136, Revision 01, dated July 18, 2005. In addition, the other service bulletins referenced in the NPRM have also been revised. (Airbus Service Bulletins A300–53–0363 and A310–53–2114, both dated October 27, 2004, were referenced as the appropriate source of service information for accomplishing the proposed actions for certain other Airbus airplanes.) The additional new revisions are Airbus Service Bulletin A300–53–0363, Revision 01, dated June 10, 2005; and Airbus Service Bulletin A310–53–2114, Revision 01, dated September 1, 2005. The revised service bulletins change the compliance of the service bulletin from ‘‘recommended’’ to ‘‘mandatory,’’ and amend the effectivity. None of the revisions increase the economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of the AD. We have also added a new paragraph (j) to the AD to give credit to operators that have accomplished the actions in accordance with the original issue of the service bulletins. Request To Give Credit for Actions Accomplished Previously The commenter requests that we ensure that operators of airplanes on which the proposed inspections were done before the effective date of the AD be given credit for inspections accomplished before that date. The commenter states that, as defined in paragraph (g) of the NPRM, operators that had previously accomplished the inspections would be forced to reaccomplish the inspections within 18 E:\FR\FM\30DER1.SGM 30DER1

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD),
applicable to certain EMBRAER Model EMB-135 airplanes; and Model EMB-
145, -145ER, -145MR, -145LR, -145XR, -145MP, and -145EP airplanes, that
requires performing repetitive inspections for cracks, ruptures, or
bends in certain components of the elevator control system; replacing
discrepant components; and, for certain airplanes, installing a new
spring cartridge and implementing new logic for the electromechanical
gust lock system. The AD also requires eventual modification of the
elevator gust lock system to replace the mechanical system with an
electromechanical system, which will terminate the repetitive
inspections. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent
discrepancies in the elevator control system, which could result in
reduced control of the elevator and consequent reduced controllability
of the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified
unsafe condition.

DATES: Effective February 3, 2006.

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 certain EMBRAER Model EMB-135 and
-145 series airplanes was published as a supplemental notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register on September 21,
2005 (70 FR 55310). That action proposed to require performing
repetitive inspections for cracks, ruptures, or bends in certain
components of the elevator control system; replacing discrepant
components; and, for certain airplanes, installing a new spring
cartridge and implementing new logic for the electromechanical gust
lock system. The proposed AD also would have required eventual
modification of the elevator gust lock system to replace the mechanical
system with an electromechanical system, which would terminate the
repetitive inspections.

Comments

Interested persons have been afforded an opportunity to participate
in the making of this amendment. No comments to the proposed AD were
received.

Correction to Final Rule

In paragraph (c)(2) of the supplemental NPRM we inadvertently used
an incorrect date for EMBRAER Service Bulletin 145-27-0086, Change 04,
dated March 21, 2005, and have corrected the date accordingly in the
final rule.

Clarification of Appropriate Service Information

We have revised paragraphs (c)(1)(i) and (c)(1)(ii) of this AD to
clarify that the actions required by those paragraphs must be done in
accordance with EMBRAER Service Bulletin 145-27-0075, Revision 08,
dated March 3, 2005.

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.

Explanation of Change to Applicability

We specify model designations in the applicability of this proposed
AD as those designations are published in the most recent type
certificate data sheet for the affected models. These model
designations differ in the referenced service bulletin(s).

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.

Cost Impact

We estimate that 300 airplanes of U.S. registry will be affected by
this AD.
It will take approximately 1 work hour per airplane, per inspection
cycle, to accomplish the inspection, at an average labor rate of $65
per work hour. Based on these figures, the cost impact of this action
on U.S. operators is estimated to be $19,500, or $65 per airplane, per
inspection cycle.
We estimate that 108 airplanes of U.S. registry will be subject to
EMBRAER Service Bulletin 145-27-0075, Revision 08, dated March 3, 2005.
For these airplanes, it will take up to 65 work hours to accomplish the
modification in that service bulletin, at an average labor rate of $65
per work hour. Required parts will cost up to $14,000 per airplane.
Based on these figures, the cost impact of this action on U.S.
operators is estimated to be up to $1,968,300, or $18,225 per airplane.
We estimate that 192 airplanes of U.S. registry will be subject to
EMBRAER Service Bulletin 145-27-0086, Change 04, dated March 21, 2005.
For these airplanes, it will take approximately 133 work hours to
accomplish the modification in that service bulletin, at an average
labor rate of $65 per work hour. Required parts will cost up to $23,164
per airplane. Based on these figures, the cost impact of this action on
U.S. operators is estimated to be up to $6,107,328, or $31,809 per
airplane.
The cost impact figures discussed above are 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 other
administrative actions.

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
