Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety. ■ Federal Aviation Administration Fmt 4700 SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD), which applies to all Avions Marcel Dassault-Breguet Model Falcon 10 airplanes. That AD currently requires either revising the airplane flight manual and installing a placard in the flight deck to prohibit flight into known or forecasted icing conditions, or repetitively inspecting for delamination of the flexible hoses in the wing (slat) anti-icing system and performing corrective actions if necessary. The existing AD also requires replacement of the flexible hoses installed in the slat anti-icing systems, which ends the repetitive inspections. This new AD continues to require replacement of the flexible hoses installed in the slat antiicing systems with new hoses, but at intervals defined in flight hours instead of flight cycles. This AD results from information we received from operators and the airplane manufacturer indicating that the repetitive interval for the required replacement deviated from the referenced service information. We are issuing this AD to prevent collapse of the flexible hoses in the slat anti-icing system, which could lead to insufficient anti-icing capability and, if icing is encountered in this situation, could result in reduced controllability of the airplane. This AD becomes effective October 27, 2008. On October 11, 2007 (72 FR 51161, September 6, 2007), the Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of Dassault Service Bulletin F10–313, Revision 1, dated May 10, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that supersedes AD 2007–18–08, amendment 39–15188 (72 FR 51161, September 6, 2007). The existing AD applies to all Avions Marcel Dassault-Breguet Model Falcon 10 airplanes. That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on June 27, 2008 (73 FR 36473). That NPRM proposed to continue to require either revising the airplane flight manual and installing a placard in the flight deck to prohibit flight into known or forecasted icing conditions, or repetitively inspecting for delamination of the flexible hoses in the wing (slat) anti-icing system and performing corrective actions if necessary. That NPRM also proposed to require replacement of the flexible hoses 54493 installed in the slat anti-icing systems with new hoses, but at intervals defined in flight hours instead of flight cycles. Comments We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the development of this AD. No comments have been received on the NPRM 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. Costs of Compliance The following table provides the estimated costs for U.S. operators to comply with this AD. The average labor rate is $80 per work hour. ESTIMATED COSTS Work hours Action Hose replacement ..................... 8 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. ebenthall on PROD1PC60 with RULES 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. 15:19 Sep 19, 2008 Number of U.S.-registered airplanes Fleet cost $880 $1,520, per replacement cycle .. Up to 146. ........ Up to $221,920, per replacement cycle. 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 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. See the ADDRESSES section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History FAA Order 7400.9R, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, effective September 15, 2007, listed Class A, B, C, D and E airspace areas; air traffic service routes; and reporting points. Due to the length of these descriptions, the FAA requested PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 approval from the Office of the Federal Register to incorporate the material by reference in the Federal Aviation Regulations section 71.1. During the incorporation by reference period, from September 15, 2007 through September 15, 2008, the FAA processed all proposed changes of the airspace listings in FAA Order 7400.9R in full text as proposed rule documents in the Federal Register. Likewise, all amendments of these listings were published in full text as final rules in the Federal Register. This rule reflects the continued incorporation of 7400.9R, pending a revised edition of the Order. The Director of the Federal Register has extended the IBR approval of FAA Order 7400.9R in section 71.1, as of September 16, 2008 until October 31, 2008. This rule also explains the procedures the FAA will use to amend the airspace designations incorporated by reference in part 71. Sections 71.5, 71.15, 71.31, 71.33, 71.41, 71.51, 71.61, 71.71, and 71.901 are amended to reflect the incorporation by reference of FAA Order 7400.9R. The Rule This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to reflect the approval by the Director of the Federal Register of the incorporation by reference of FAA Order 7400.9R, effective September 16, 2008. This rule reflects the continued incorporation of 7400.9R, pending a revised edition of the Order. During the incorporation by reference, the FAA will continue to process all proposed changes of the airspace listings in the Order. Likewise, all amendments of these listings will be published in full text as final rules in the Federal Register. The FAA will periodically integrate all final rule amendments into a revised edition of the Order, and submit the revised edition to the Director of the Federal Register for approval for incorporation by reference in section 71.1. The FAA has determined that this action: (1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation, as the anticipated impact is so minimal. This action neither places any new restrictions or requirements on the public, nor changes the dimensions or operation requirements of the airspace listings incorporated by reference in part 71. Consequently, notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. Because this action will continue to update the changes to the E:\FR\FM\22SER1.SGM 22SER1

Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Model Falcon 10 Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of 
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive 
(AD), which applies to all Avions Marcel Dassault-Breguet Model Falcon 
10 airplanes. That AD currently requires either revising the airplane 
flight manual and installing a placard in the flight deck to prohibit 
flight into known or forecasted icing conditions, or repetitively 
inspecting for delamination of the flexible hoses in the wing (slat) 
anti-icing system and performing corrective actions if necessary. The 
existing AD also requires replacement of the flexible hoses installed 
in the slat anti-icing systems, which ends the repetitive inspections. 
This new AD continues to require replacement of the flexible hoses 
installed in the slat anti-icing systems with new hoses, but at 
intervals defined in flight hours instead of flight cycles. This AD 
results from information we received from operators and the airplane 
manufacturer indicating that the repetitive interval for the required 
replacement deviated from the referenced service information. We are 
issuing this AD to prevent collapse of the flexible hoses in the slat 
anti-icing system, which could lead to insufficient anti-icing 
capability and, if icing is encountered in this situation, could result 
in reduced controllability of the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective October 27, 2008.
    On October 11, 2007 (72 FR 51161, September 6, 2007), the Director 
of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of 
Dassault Service Bulletin F10-313, Revision 1, dated May 10, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 
CFR part 39 to include an AD that supersedes AD 2007-18-08, amendment 
39-15188 (72 FR 51161, September 6, 2007). The existing AD applies to 
all Avions Marcel Dassault-Breguet Model Falcon 10 airplanes. That NPRM 
was published in the Federal Register on June 27, 2008 (73 FR 36473). 
That NPRM proposed to continue to require either revising the airplane 
flight manual and installing a placard in the flight deck to prohibit 
flight into known or forecasted icing conditions, or repetitively 
inspecting for delamination of the flexible hoses in the wing (slat) 
anti-icing system and performing corrective actions if necessary. That 
NPRM also proposed to require replacement of the flexible hoses 
installed in the slat anti-icing systems with new hoses, but at 
intervals defined in flight hours instead of flight cycles.

Comments

    We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the 
development of this AD. No comments have been received on the NPRM 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.

Costs of Compliance

    The following table provides the estimated costs for U.S. operators 
to comply with this AD. The average labor rate is $80 per work hour.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 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 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. See the ADDRESSES 
section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation.

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.


Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) amends Sec.  39.13 by 
removing amendment 39-15188 (72 FR 51161, September 6, 2007) and by 
adding the following new airworthiness directive (AD):

2008-19-08 Dassault Aviation (Formerly Avions Marcel Dassault-
Breguet Aviation (AMD/BA)): Amendment 39-15675. Docket No. FAA-2008-
0674; Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-086-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This AD becomes effective October 27, 2008.

Affected ADs

    (b) This AD supersedes AD 2007-18-08.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to all Dassault Model Falcon 10 airplanes, 
certificated in any category.

Unsafe Condition

    (d) This AD results from information we received from operators 
and the airplane manufacturer indicating that the repetitive 
interval for the required replacement deviated from the referenced 
service information. We are issuing this AD to prevent collapse of 
the flexible hoses in the slat anti-icing system, which could lead 
to insufficient anti-icing capability and, if icing is encountered 
in this situation, could result in reduced controllability of the 
airplane.

Compliance

    (e) You are responsible for having the actions required by this 
AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the 
actions have already been done.

this AD.
