Download as PDF 5366 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 24 / Tuesday, February 6, 2007 / Proposed Rules 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 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 this proposed regulation: 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 regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety. The Proposed Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows: Subject (d) Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 57: Wings. Reason (d) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) states: * * * unchecked corrosion developing on the wing spars due to access for inspections being difficult under normal maintenance practices, which could lead to an unsafe condition and possibly a failure of the wing. Actions and Compliance (e) Unless already done, do the following actions within 66 months after aircraft date of manufacture or within 6 months after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later, unless already done within the last 24 months, and thereafter at intervals not to exceed 24 months. Accomplishment of European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2005–0028 satisfies the requirement of this AD. If the spars are replaced, the inspections at intervals of 24 months must be resumed within 60 months from the date of replacement: (1) Inspect the visible parts of the spar web, the front face of the spar, and the upper and lower boom angle following Avions Pierre Robin Service Letter No. 19, dated October 1980, and Avions Pierre Robin Service Bulletin No. 99, dated June 24, 1983. (2) If corrosion is found as a result of the inspection required by paragraph (e)(1) of this AD that does not exceed the limits in the service bulletins, before further flight, treat the corrosion following Avions Pierre Robin Service Letter No. 19, dated October 1980, and Avions Pierre Robin Service Bulletin No. 99, dated June 24, 1983. (3) If corrosion is found as a result of the inspection required by paragraph (e)(1) of this AD that does exceed the limits specified in Avions Pierre Robin Service Letter No. 19, dated October 1980, before further flight, repair following a manufacturer approved repair scheme.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    The FAA continues to invite interested persons to take part in this 
rulemaking by submitting written comments, data, or views about the 
NPRM. We also invite comments about the economic, environmental, 
energy, or federalism impacts that might result from adopting the 
proposals in the NPRM. The most helpful comments reference a specific 
portion of the NPRM, explain the reason for any recommended change, and 
include supporting data. We ask that you send us two copies of written 
comments.

Background

    On November 15, 2006, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 
published Notice No. 06-16 in the Federal Register (Filtered Flight 
Data, 71 FR 66634) (the NPRM). The comment period for this NPRM ends on 
February 13, 2007.
    By letter dated January 12, 2007, The Boeing Company (Boeing) asked 
the FAA to extend the NPRM's comment period for sixty days. Boeing 
intends to submit comments that will include an assessment of those 
parameters that fall within the proposed definition of filtered data 
for each of its affected airplanes. Boeing also intends to provide cost 
data related to the proposed requirements to analyze in-service 
airplanes. Boeing states that it needs an additional sixty days to 
complete these assessments.
    The FAA agrees with Boeing's request for an extension of the 
comment period. We recognize the assessments being performed by Boeing 
are time-consuming, but are expected to produce valuable information.
    We have determined that an additional sixty days will be enough for 
potential commenters to collect the cost and operational data necessary 
to provide meaningful comments to the NPRM. Absent unusual 
circumstances, the FAA does not anticipate any further extension of the 
comment period for this NPRM.

Extension of Comment Period

    In accordance with 14 CFR 11.47(c), the FAA has reviewed the 
petition submitted by Boeing for an extension of the comment period to 
the NPRM. The FAA finds that an extension of the comment period for 
Notice No. 06-16 is consistent with the public interest, and that good 
cause exists for taking this action. The FAA also has determined that 
Boeing has a substantive interest in the proposed rule and has shown 
good cause for the extension.
    Accordingly, the comment period for Notice No. 06-16 is extended 
until April 16, 2007.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on January 29, 2007.

Director, Aircraft Certification Service.
