BILLING CODE 4910–13–P
14 CFR Part 39
SUMMARY: We are adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for all
DORNIER LUFTFAHRT GmbH Models
228–100, 228–101, 228–200, 228–201,
228–202, and 228–212 airplanes. This
AD requires you to repetitively inspect
the wiring in the flight deck overhead
panels (locations 5VE and 6VE) for
chafing and damage and repair any
chafed or damaged wires. Regardless of
the results of each inspection, this AD
requires you to assure correct
installation of the wiring in the flight
deck overhead panels by reattaching or
replacing the wire tie attachment
holders and securing any loose wires to
the wire tie attachment holders with
plastic wire ties. This AD results from
mandatory continuing airworthiness
information (MCAI) issued by the
airworthiness authority for Germany.
We are issuing this AD to detect,
correct, and prevent chafed or damaged
wires in the flight deck overhead panels,
which could result in short-circuiting of
related wiring. This condition could
lead to electrical failure of affected
systems and potential fire in the flight
deck.
DATES: This AD becomes effective on
July 14, 2006.
As of July 14, 2006, the Director of the
Federal Register approved the
incorporation by reference of certain
publications listed in the regulation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
On March 22, 2006, we issued a
proposal to amend part 39 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to
include an AD that would apply to
DORNIER LUFTFAHRT GmbH
(DORNIER) Models 228–100, 228–101,
228–200, 228–201, 228–202, and 228–
212 airplanes. This proposal was
published in the Federal Register as a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
on March 29, 2006 (71 FR 15647). The
NPRM proposed to require you to
repetitively inspect the wiring in the
flight deck overhead panels (locations
5VE and 6VE) for chafing and damage
and repair any chafed or damaged wires.
Regardless of the results of each
inspection, the NPRM would require
you to assure correct installation of the
wiring in the flight deck overhead
panels by reattaching or replacing the
wire tie attachment holders and
securing any loose wires to the wire tie
attachment holders with plastic wire
ties.
Comments
We provided the public the
opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on
the proposal 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 except for
minor editorial corrections. We have
determined that these minor
corrections:
• Are consistent with the intent that
was proposed in the NPRM for
correcting the unsafe condition; and
• Do not add any additional burden
upon the public than was already
proposed in the NPRM.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 14
airplanes in the U.S. registry.
We estimate the following costs to do
the inspection:

We estimate the following costs to do
any necessary repairs that will be
required based on the results of the
inspection. We have no way of
Labor cost
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 AD.
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.
Total cost

Note: The cure time for the adhesive that
is recommended in the service information is
48 hours at 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees
Fahrenheit) or 2 hours at 65 degrees Celsius
(149 degrees Fahrenheit).
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 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 summary of the costs
to comply with this AD (and other
information as included in the
Regulatory Evaluation) and placed it in
the AD Docket. You may get a copy of
this summary by sending a request to us
at the address listed under ADDRESSES.

Additional controlled airspace is
necessary to accommodate aircraft using
a new Localizer Performance with
Vertical Guidance (LPV) approach
procedure with Lateral/Vertical
Navigation (LNAV/VNAV) minimums.
This additional controlled airspace is
necessary for the safety of Instrument
Flight Rules (IFR) aircraft executing this
new LPV approach procedure at Jackson
Hole Airport, Jackson, WY. This final
rule also corrects an error in the
airport’s latitude and longitude
coordinates and reference to exclusions
to surrounding controlled airspace in
the airspace description section.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On December 28, 2005, the FAA
published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to revise
Class E airspace at Jackson, WY (70 FR
76729). The proposed action would
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
provide additional controlled airspace
for the safety of IFR aircraft using a new
LPV approach procedure with LNAV/
VNAV minimums at Jackson Hole
Airport, Jackson, WY. Interested parties
were invited to participate in this
rulemaking effort by submitting written
comments on the proposal to the FAA.
No comments were received.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.9N, dated September 1,
2005, and effective September 15, 2005,
which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR part 71.1. The Class E airspace
designations listed in this document
will be published subsequently in that
Order.
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by
revising Class E airspace at Jackson,
WY. Additional controlled airspace is
necessary to accommodate aircraft
executing a new LPV approach
procedure with LNAV/VNAV
minimums. This additional controlled
airspace is necessary for the safety of
IFR aircraft executing this new LPV
approach procedure at Jackson Hole
Airport, Jackson, WY. This final rule
also corrects an error in the Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for
Jackson Hole Airport’s latitude and
longitude coordinates and reference to
exclusions to surrounding controlled
airspace in the airspace description
section.
The FAA has determined that this
regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which
frequent and routine amendments are
necessary to keep them operationally
current. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is
not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
On March 22, 2006, we issued a proposal to amend part 39 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to include an AD that
would apply to DORNIER LUFTFAHRT GmbH (DORNIER) Models 228-100, 228-
101, 228-200, 228-201, 228-202, and 228-212 airplanes. This proposal
was published in the Federal Register as a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) on March 29, 2006 (71 FR 15647). The NPRM proposed to
require you to repetitively inspect the wiring in the flight deck
overhead panels (locations 5VE and 6VE) for chafing and damage and
repair any chafed or damaged wires. Regardless of the results of each
inspection, the NPRM would require you to assure correct installation
of the wiring in the flight deck overhead panels by reattaching or
replacing the wire tie attachment holders and securing any loose wires
to the wire tie attachment holders with plastic wire ties.
Comments
We provided the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the proposal 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
except for minor editorial corrections. We have determined that these
minor corrections:
Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 14 airplanes in the U.S. registry.
We estimate the following costs to do the inspection:
[[Page 32269]]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total cost per
Labor costs Parts costs airplane Total cost on U.S. operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 workhours x $80 per hour = $160 Not applicable..... $160 $160 x 14 = $2,240.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We estimate the following costs to do any necessary repairs that
will be required based on the results of the inspection. We have no way
of determining the number of airplanes that may need this repair:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Labor cost Parts cost Total cost per airplane
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 workhours x $80 per hour = $240.................. $100 $240 + $100 = $340.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: The cure time for the adhesive that is recommended in the
service information is 48 hours at 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees
Fahrenheit) or 2 hours at 65 degrees Celsius (149 degrees
Fahrenheit).

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

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 AD.
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

We prepared a summary of the costs to comply with this AD (and
other information as included in the Regulatory Evaluation) and placed
it in the AD Docket. You may get a copy of this summary by sending a
