ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: We are adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Cessna Aircraft Company 172 series
airplanes with the BRS–172 Parachute
System installed via Supplemental Type
Certificate (STC) No. SA01679CH and
Cessna Aircraft Company 182 series
airplanes that are equipped with the
BRS–182 Parachute System installed via
STC No. SA01999CH. This AD requires
you to replace the pick-up collar
support and nylon screws for the BRS–
172 and BRS–182 Parachute System.
This AD results from notification by
Ballistic Recovery Systems, Inc. (BRS)
that the pick-up collar assembly may
prematurely move off the launch tube
and adversely affect rocket trajectory
during deployment. We are issuing this
AD to prevent premature separation of
the collar, which could result in the
parachute failing to successfully deploy.
DATES: This AD becomes effective on
February 28, 2008.
On February 28, 2008, the Director of
the Federal Register approved the
incorporation by reference of certain
publications listed in this AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
On November 2, 2007, 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 Cessna Aircraft Company 172
and 182 series airplanes that are
equipped with the BRS–172 and BRS–
182 Parachute System. This proposal
was published in the Federal Register
as a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) on November 2, 2007 (72 FR
62143). The NPRM proposed to require
the replacement of the pick-up collar
support and screws for the BRS–172 and
BRS–182 Parachute System.
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 54
airplanes in the U.S. registry.
We estimate the following costs to do
the modification:
Total cost per
airplane
Labor cost
Parts cost
1 work-hour × $80 per hour = $80 ...............................
$80
$4,320
Not Applicable ..............................................................
Note: BRS will provide warranty credit to
the extent noted in Ballistic Recovery
Systems, Inc. Service Bulletins SB 07–01 and
SB 07–02, both dated June 8, 2007.
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
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with RULES
Total cost on
U.S. operators
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.
For the reasons discussed above, I
certify that this AD:
1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under Executive Order 12866;
VerDate Aug<31>2005
19:26 Jan 23, 2008
Jkt 214001
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.
Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA–2007–29317;
Directorate Identifier 2007–CE–079–
AD’’ in your request.
Effective Date
(a) This AD becomes effective on February
28, 2008.

directive (AD) that would apply to all
Boeing Model 727 airplanes. That
NPRM was published in the Federal
Register on August 8, 2007 (72 FR

necessary.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this AD. We
considered the comment received from
the commenter.
Request to Delegate Approval of
Alternative Methods of Compliance
(AMOC) for Repairs
Boeing requests that paragraph (h) of
the NPRM be revised to allow AMOCs
for any required repair to be approved

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
On November 2, 2007, 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 Cessna Aircraft Company 172 and 182 series
airplanes that are equipped with the BRS-172 and BRS-182 Parachute
System. This proposal was published in the Federal Register as a notice
of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on November 2, 2007 (72 FR 62143). The
NPRM proposed to require the replacement of the pick-up collar support
and screws for the BRS-172 and BRS-182 Parachute System.
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 54 airplanes in the U.S. registry.
We estimate the following costs to do the modification:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total cost per Total cost on
Labor cost Parts cost airplane U.S. operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 work-hour x $80 per hour = $80.............. Not Applicable.................. $80 $4,320

Note: BRS will provide warranty credit to the extent noted in
Ballistic Recovery Systems, Inc. Service Bulletins SB 07-01 and SB
07-02, both dated June 8, 2007.
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.
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. Include ``Docket
