ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: We are adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD results
from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI)
originated by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct
an unsafe condition on an aviation
product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as:
Analyses of in-service reports revealed that
in case of failure of the wings’ anti-ice valve,
indications of untimely anti-icing with the
wings’ anti-ice selector on ‘‘OFF’’ or of
insufficient anti-icing with the wings’ antiice selector on ‘‘AUTO’’ might not be
properly displayed to the flight crew. It may
result, on ground, in potential structural
damages due to a leading edge overheat, or
in-flight, in an insufficient anti-ice power.

We are issuing this AD to require
actions to correct the unsafe condition
on these products.
DATES: This AD becomes effective July
23, 2008.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
of certain publications listed in this AD
as of July 23, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would
apply to the specified products. That
NPRM was published in the Federal
Register on March 13, 2008 (73 FR
13488). That NPRM proposed to correct
an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states:
Analyses of in-service reports revealed that
in case of failure of the wings’ anti-ice valve,
indications of untimely anti-icing with the
wings’ anti-ice selector on ‘‘OFF’’ or of
insufficient anti-icing with the wings’ antiice selector on ‘‘AUTO’’ might not be
properly displayed to the flight crew. It may
result, on ground, in potential structural
damages due to a leading edge overheat, or
in-flight, in an insufficient anti-ice power.
This Airworthiness Directive (AD)
mandates an upgrade of the wings’ anti-ice
monitoring circuitry per implementation of
modifications M2814 (Service Bulletin (SB)
F2000EX–116) and M2949 (SB F2000EX–
140) to cover the whole monitoring logic of
the wings’ anti-ice system.
The modifications include adding a
relay between the bleed air computer
and the wing anti-ice valve; modifying
the aircraft wiring; and rerouting an
existing wire between the right- and lefthand electrical cabinets. You may
obtain further information by examining
the MCAI in the AD docket.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this AD. We
received no comments on the NPRM or
on the determination of the cost to the
public.
Conclusion
We reviewed the available data and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting the AD
as proposed.
Differences Between This AD and the
MCAI or Service Information
We have reviewed the MCAI and
related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But
we might have found it necessary to use
E:\FR\FM\18JNR1.SGM
18JNR1
34614
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 118 / Wednesday, June 18, 2008 / Rules and Regulations
different words from those in the MCAI
to ensure the AD is clear for U.S.
operators and is enforceable. In making
these changes, we do not intend to differ
substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related
service information.
We might also have required different
actions in this AD from those in the
MCAI in order to follow our FAA
policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD will affect
about 13 products of U.S. registry. We
also estimate that it will take about 46
work-hours per product to comply with
the basic requirements of this AD. The
average labor rate is $80 per work-hour.
Required parts will cost about $1,344
per product. Where the service
information lists required parts costs
that are covered under warranty, we
have assumed that there will be no
charge for these parts. As we do not
control warranty coverage for affected
parties, some parties may incur costs
higher than estimated here. Based on
these figures, we estimate the cost of
this AD to the U.S. operators to be
$65,312, or $5,024 per product.
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.
pwalker on PROD1PC71 with RULES
Regulatory Findings
We 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.
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:10 Jun 17, 2008
Jkt 214001
For the reasons discussed above, I
certify 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 regulatory evaluation
of the estimated costs to comply with
this AD and placed it in the AD docket.
Examining the AD Docket
You may examine the AD docket on
the Internet at https://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the
Docket Operations office between 9 a.m.
and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal holidays. The AD docket
contains the NPRM, the regulatory
evaluation, any comments received, and
other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone
(800) 647–5527) is in the ADDRESSES
section. Comments will be available in
the AD docket shortly after receipt.

Final rule.
SUMMARY: We are adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
M7 Aerospace LP SA226 and SA227
series airplanes. This AD requires you to
inspect electrical wires/components,
hydraulic and bleed air tube assemblies
at left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH)
inboard wing leading edge/battery box
areas, LH/RH wing stations 51.167 to
81.174, and at all feed-through locations
into the LH/RH inboard keelson. If
chafing/arcing is found, this AD
requires you to reposition, repair, and/
or replace all chafed electrical wires,
components, and hydraulic and bleed
air tube assemblies, as required. This
AD also requires you to reposition the
battery lead cables, cover four-gauge
wires leaving the battery box with
firesleeving and secure with clamps,
and protect the battery power cable.
This AD results from five reports of
chafing between the bleed air tube and
the electrical starter cables with one
incident resulting in a fire. We are
issuing this AD to detect and correct
chafing/arcing of electrical wires,
components, and bleed air lines. This
condition could result in arcing of the
exposed wires and burn a hole in the
bleed air line or the nearby hydraulic
line, and lead to a possible hydraulic
fluid leak and fire in the engine nacelle
compartment.
This AD becomes effective on
July 23, 2008.
DATES:
On July 23, 2008, the Director of the
Federal Register approved the
incorporation by reference of certain
publications listed in this AD.

On March 7, 2008, 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 M7 Aerospace LP SA226 and
SA227 series airplanes. This proposal
was published in the Federal Register
as a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) on March 14, 2008 (73 FR
13806). The NPRM proposed to require
you to inspect electrical wires/
components, hydraulic and bleed air
tube assemblies at LH and RH inboard
wing leading edge/battery box areas,
LH/RH wing stations 51.167 to 81.174,
and at all feed-through locations into
the LH/RH inboard keelson. If chafing/
arcing is found, this proposed AD
would require you to reposition, repair,
and/or replace all chafed electrical
wires, components, and hydraulic and
bleed air tube assemblies, as required.
This proposed AD would also require
you to reposition the battery lead cables,
cover four-gauge wires leaving the
battery box with firesleeving and secure
with clamps, and protect the battery
power cable.
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 330
airplanes in the U.S. registry.
We estimate the following costs for all
Models SA226, SA227, SA227–CC, and
SA227–DC airplanes to do the
inspection following SA226 Series
Service Bulletin No. 226–24–036,
SA227 Series Service Bulletin No.

general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use
[[Page 34614]]
different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the AD is clear for
U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these changes, we do not
intend to differ substantively from the information provided in the
MCAI and related service information.
We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences
are highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD will affect about 13 products of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that it will take about 46 work-hours per
product to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average
labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $1,344
per product. Where the service information lists required parts costs
that are covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no
charge for these parts. As we do not control warranty coverage for
affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated
here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to the
U.S. operators to be $65,312, or $5,024 per product.
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 Findings
We 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 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 regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.
Examining the AD Docket
You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at https://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone (800) 647-5527) is in the
ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly
after receipt.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39
Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.
Adoption of the Amendment
0
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator,
the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:
PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES
0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.
Sec. 39.13 [Amended]
0
2. The FAA amends Sec. 39.13 by adding the following new AD:
2008-12-14 Dassault Aviation: Amendment 39-15558. Docket No. FAA-
2008-0294; Directorate Identifier 2007-NM-288-AD.
Effective Date
(a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective July 23,
2008.
Affected ADs
(b) None.
Applicability
(c) This AD applies to Dassault Model Falcon 2000EX airplanes;
certificated in any category; having serial numbers 1 through 5 and
7 through 27 inclusive.
Subject
(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 30: Ice and
Rain Protection.
Reason
(e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
Analyses of in-service reports revealed that in case of failure
of the wings' anti-ice valve, indications of untimely anti-icing
with the wings' anti-ice selector on ``OFF'' or of insufficient
anti-icing with the wings' anti-ice selector on ``AUTO'' might not
be properly displayed to the flight crew. It may result, on ground,
in potential structural damages due to a leading edge overheat, or
in-flight, in an insufficient anti-ice power.
This Airworthiness Directive (AD) mandates an upgrade of the
wings' anti-ice monitoring circuitry per implementation of
modifications M2814 (Service Bulletin (SB) F2000EX-116) and M2949
(SB F2000EX-140) to cover the whole monitoring logic of the wings'
anti-ice system.
The modifications include adding a relay between the bleed air
computer and the wing anti-ice valve; modifying the aircraft wiring;
and rerouting an existing wire between the right- and left-hand
electrical cabinets.
Actions and Compliance
(f) Within 6 months after the effective date of this AD, unless
already done, modify the electrical wiring of the wings' anti-ice
system, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of
Dassault Service Bulletin F2000EX-116, dated May 31, 2006; and
Service Bulletin F2000EX-140, dated February 28, 2007.
