Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 205 / Wednesday, October 22, 2008 / Rules and Regulations
Unsafe Condition
(d) This AD results from fuel system
reviews conducted by the manufacturer,
which identified potential unsafe conditions
for which the manufacturer has not provided
corrective actions. We are issuing this AD to
prevent the potential of ignition sources
inside fuel tanks, which, in combination with
flammable fuel vapors, could result in fuel
tank explosions and consequent loss of the
airplane.
(2) To request a different method of
compliance or a different compliance time
for this AD, follow the procedures in 14 CFR
39.19. Before using any approved AMOC on
any airplane to which the AMOC applies,
notify your appropriate principal inspector
(PI) in the FAA Flight Standards District
Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local
FSDO.
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.
Appendix A—Deactivation Criteria
The auxiliary fuel tank deactivation
procedure required by paragraph (g) of this
AD should address the following actions.
(1) Permanently drain auxiliary fuel tanks,
and clear them of fuel vapors to eliminate the
possibility of out-gassing of fuel vapors from
the emptied auxiliary tank.
(2) Disconnect all electrical connections
from the fuel quantity indication system
(FQIS), fuel pumps if applicable, float
switches, and all other electrical connections
required for auxiliary tank operation, and
stow them at the auxiliary tank interface.
(3) Disconnect all pneumatic connections if
applicable, cap them at the pneumatic
source, and secure them.
(4) Disconnect all fuel feed and fuel vent
plumbing interfaces with airplane original
equipment manufacturer (OEM) tanks, cap
them at the airplane tank side, and secure
them in accordance with a method approved
by the FAA; one approved method is
specified in AC 25–8 Auxiliary Fuel System
Installations. In order to eliminate the
possibility of structural deformation during
cabin decompression, leave open and secure
the disconnected auxiliary fuel tank vent
lines.
(5) Pull and collar all circuit breakers used
to operate the auxiliary tank.
(6) Revise the weight and balance
document, if required, and obtain FAA
approval.
(7) Amend the applicable sections of the
applicable airplane flight manual (AFM) to
indicate that the auxiliary fuel tank is
deactivated. Remove auxiliary fuel tank
operating procedures to ensure that only the
OEM fuel system operational procedures are
contained in the AFM. Amend the
Limitations Section of the AFM to indicate
that the AFM Supplement for the STC is not
in effect. Place a placard in the flight deck
indicating that the auxiliary tank is
deactivated. The AFM revisions specified in
this paragraph may be accomplished by
inserting a copy of this AD into the AFM.
(8) Amend the applicable sections of the
applicable airplane maintenance manual to
remove auxiliary tank maintenance
procedures.
(9) After the auxiliary fuel tank is
deactivated, accomplish procedures such as
leak checks and pressure checks deemed
necessary before returning the airplane to
service. These procedures must include
verification that the airplane FQIS and fuel
distribution systems have not been adversely
affected.
(10) Revise the instructions for continued
airworthiness, as required, after deactivation.
(11) Include with the operator’s proposed
procedures any relevant information or
Report
(f) Within 45 days after the effective date
of this AD, submit a report to the Manager,
New York Aircraft Certification Office (ACO),
FAA. The report must include the
information listed in paragraphs (f)(1) and
(f)(2) of this AD. Under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.), the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) has approved the information
collection requirements contained in this AD,
and assigned OMB Control Number 2120–
0056.
(1) The airplane registration and auxiliary
tank STC number installed.
(2) The usage frequency in terms of total
number of flights per year and total number
of flights per year for which the auxiliary
tank is used.
Prevent Usage of Auxiliary Fuel Tanks
(g) Before December 16, 2009, deactivate
the auxiliary fuel tanks, in accordance with
a deactivation procedure approved by the
Manager, New York ACO. Any auxiliary tank
component that remains on the airplane must
be secured and must have no effect on the
continued operational safety and
airworthiness of the airplane. Deactivation
must not result in the need for additional
instructions for continued airworthiness.
Note 1: Appendix A of this AD provides
criteria that should be included in the
deactivation procedure. The proposed
deactivation procedures should be submitted
to the Manager, New York ACO, as soon as
possible to ensure timely review and
approval.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Direct Final Rule Procedure
The FAA anticipates that this
regulation will not result in adverse or
negative comments, and, therefore,
issues it as a direct final rule. The FAA
has determined that this rule only
involves an established body of
technical regulations for which frequent
and routine amendments are necessary
to keep them operationally current.
Unless a written adverse or negative
comment or a written notice of intent to
submit an adverse or negative comment
is received within the comment period,
the regulation will become effective on
the date specified above. After the close
of the comment period, the FAA will
publish a document in the Federal
Register indicating that no adverse or
negative comments were received and
confirming the effective date. If the FAA
receives, within the comment period, an
adverse or negative comment, or written
notice of intent to submit such a
comment, a document withdrawing the
direct final rule will be published in the
Federal Register, and a notice of
proposed rulemaking may be published
with a new comment period.

History
The FAA is amending Title 14 Code
of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71
by establishing Class E airspace at
Dallas, GA. This action provides
adequate Class E airspace for IFR
operations at Paulding County Airport.
Designations for Class E airspace areas
extending upward from 700 feet or more
above the surface of the earth are
published in FAA Order 7400.9R, dated
August 15, 2007, and effective
September 15, 2007, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
part 71.1. The Class E designations
listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.
This amendment to Title 14, Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71
establishes Class E airspace at Dallas,
GA, to provide controlled airspace
required to support the Area Navigation
(RNAV) Global Positioning System
(GPS) Standard Instrument Approach
Procedures (SIAPs) that have been
developed for Paulding County Airport.

Agency Findings
The regulations adopted herein will
not have substantial direct effects on the
States, on the relationship between the
national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among various levels of
government. Therefore, it is determined
that this direct final rule does not have
federalism implications under Executive
Order 13132.
The FAA has determined that this
regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which
frequent and routine amendments are
necessary to keep them operationally
current. It, therefore, (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. Since this is a
routine matter that will only affect air
traffic procedures and air navigation, it
is certified that this rule, when
promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
The FAA’s authority to issue rules
regarding aviation safety is found in
Title 49 of the United States Code.
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.
This rulemaking is promulgated
under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part, A, Subpart I, section
40103. Under that section, the FAA is
charged with prescribing regulations to
assign the use of airspace necessary to
ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation
is within the scope of that authority as
it establishes Class E airspace at Dallas,
GA.

effects on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among various levels of government. Therefore, it is
determined that this direct final rule does not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132.
The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore, (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. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part, A, Subpart I, section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it establishes Class E airspace at Dallas, GA.
