SUMMARY: We are adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) that
supersedes AD 2005–26–53, which
applies to certain Pacific Aerospace
Corporation Ltd. (PAC) 750XL airplanes.
AD 2005–26–53 currently requires you
to insert text into the Limitations
Section of the Airplane Flight Manual
(AFM) that reduces the maximum
takeoff weight from 7,500 pounds to
7,125 pounds. This AD results from
mandatory continuing airworthiness
information (MCAI) issued by the
airworthiness authority for New
Zealand and the FAA’s decision that the
actions correct an unsafe condition.
Consequently, this AD would require
you to remove rivets that have not been
fully age hardened and replace them

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 119 / Wednesday, June 21, 2006 / Rules and Regulations
with bolts, washers, and nuts in specific
locations where reduction in rivet
strength affects overall structural
capability. This AD retains the actions
of the previous AD until the rivets are
replaced with the bolts, washers, and
nuts. We are issuing this AD so that
wing ultimate load requirements are
met. If wing ultimate load requirements
are not met, wing failure could result
with consequent loss of control of the
airplane.
DATES: This AD becomes effective on
July 31, 2006.
As of July 31, 2006, the Director of the
Federal Register approved the
incorporation by reference of certain
publications listed in the regulation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
On March 3, 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
certain Pacific Aerospace Corporation
Ltd. (PAC) 750XL airplanes. This
proposal was published in the Federal
Register as a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) on March 10, 2006
(71 FR 12305). The NPRM proposed to
supersede AD 2005–26–53, Amendment
39–14451 (71 FR 2453, January 17,
2006), and require you to remove rivets
that have not been fully age hardened
and replace them with bolts, washers,
and nuts in specific locations where
reduction in rivet strength affects
overall structural capability. The
proposed AD would retain the airplane
weight AFM Limitations requirement of
AD 2005–26–53 until the rivets are
replaced with the bolts, washers, and
nuts.
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 7
airplanes in the U.S. registry.
We estimate the following costs to do
the replacement:
Labor cost
Parts cost
Total cost per
airplane
Total cost on
U.S. operators
32 work-hours × $80 per hour = $2,560 .....................................................................................
$519
$3,079
$21,553
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
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:35 Jun 20, 2006
Jkt 208001
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 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.

requires you to insert text into the Limitations Section of the
Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) that reduces the maximum takeoff weight
from 7,500 pounds to 7,125 pounds. This AD results from mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness
authority for New Zealand and the FAA's decision that the actions
correct an unsafe condition. Consequently, this AD would require you to
remove rivets that have not been fully age hardened and replace them
[[Page 35510]]
with bolts, washers, and nuts in specific locations where reduction in
rivet strength affects overall structural capability. This AD retains
the actions of the previous AD until the rivets are replaced with the
bolts, washers, and nuts. We are issuing this AD so that wing ultimate
load requirements are met. If wing ultimate load requirements are not
met, wing failure could result with consequent loss of control of the
airplane.
DATES: This AD becomes effective on July 31, 2006.
As of July 31, 2006, the Director of the Federal Register approved
the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
On March 3, 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 certain Pacific Aerospace Corporation Ltd. (PAC) 750XL
airplanes. This proposal was published in the Federal Register as a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on March 10, 2006 (71 FR 12305).
The NPRM proposed to supersede AD 2005-26-53, Amendment 39-14451 (71 FR
2453, January 17, 2006), and require you to remove rivets that have not
been fully age hardened and replace them with bolts, washers, and nuts
in specific locations where reduction in rivet strength affects overall
structural capability. The proposed AD would retain the airplane weight
AFM Limitations requirement of AD 2005-26-53 until the rivets are
replaced with the bolts, washers, and nuts.
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 7 airplanes in the U.S. registry.
We estimate the following costs to do the replacement:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total cost per Total cost on
Labor cost Parts cost airplane U.S. operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
32 work-hours x $80 per hour = $2,560........................ $519 $3,079 $21,553
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

We have determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a

negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
