List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39
Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation
safety, Safety.
Adoption of the Amendment
Accordingly, under the authority
delegated to me by the Administrator,
the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as
follows:
■
PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS
DIRECTIVES
1. The authority citation for part 39
continues to read as follows:
■
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.
§ 39.13
[Amended]
2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding
the following new AD:
■
2010–02–09 Airbus: Amendment 39–16180.
Docket No. FAA–2009–0713; Directorate
Identifier 2007–NM–303–AD.
Effective Date
(a) This airworthiness directive (AD)
becomes effective March 2, 2010.
WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with RULES
Affected ADs
(b) None.
Applicability
(c) This AD applies to all Airbus Model
A318 series airplanes; certificated in any
category.
Subject
(d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of
America Code 27: Flight Controls.
Reason
(e) The mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) states:
VerDate Nov<24>2008
13:55 Jan 25, 2010
Jkt 220001
Some operators have reported airframe
vibration under specific flight conditions
including gusts.
Investigations have revealed that under
such conditions, vibrations may occur when
the hinge moment of the elevator is close to
zero, associated to elevator free-play.
*
*
*
*
*
The unsafe condition is excessive vibration
of the elevators, which could result in
reduced structural integrity and reduced
controllability of the airplane. The corrective
action includes inspecting the elevators for
excessive freeplay, and repairing the elevator
or servo controls, if necessary.
Actions and Compliance
(f) Unless already done, do the following
actions.
(1) At the later of the times specified in
paragraphs (f)(1)(i) and (f)(1)(ii) of this AD,
inspect the elevators for excessive freeplay,
using a load application tool and a spring
scale assembly, in accordance with a method
approved by the Manager, International
Branch, ANM–116, Transport Airplane
Directorate, FAA; or the European Aviation
Safety Agency (EASA) (or its delegated
agent). Repeat the inspection at intervals not
to exceed 20 months.
Note 1: Guidance on the inspection
procedures can be found in Task 27–34–00–
200–001 of the Airbus A318/A319/A320/
A321 Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM).
(i) Within 20 months since the date of
issuance of the original French, German, or
EASA airworthiness certificate or the date of
issuance of the original French, German, or
EASA export certificate of airworthiness, or
within 3 months after the effective date of
this AD, whichever occurs later.
(ii) Within 20 months since the last
inspection of the elevators for excessive
freeplay performed in accordance with Task
27–34–00–200–001 of the Airbus A318/
A319/A320/A321 AMM.
(2) If any inspection required by paragraph
(f)(1) of this AD indicates that the freeplay in
the elevator exceeds 7 millimeters, before
further flight, repair the elevator or servo
controls in accordance with a method
approved by the Manager, International
Branch, ANM–116, Transport Airplane
Directorate, FAA; or the EASA (or its
delegated agent).
FAA AD Differences
Note 2: This AD differs from the MCAI
and/or service information as follows:
(1) The EASA AD applies to Airbus Model
A318, A319, A320, and A321 series
airplanes, but the FAA AD applies only to
Airbus Model A318 series airplanes. The
actions required by the EASA AD for Airbus
Model A319, A320, and A321 series
airplanes are addressed in FAA AD 2001–16–
09, Amendment 39–12377; and FAA AD
2005–22–10 R1, Amendment 39–14354.
(2) This FAA AD does not require
modification of the elevator neutral setting as
specified in paragraph 2. of the EASA AD
because this modification is already part of
the FAA-approved type design for Airbus
Model A318 series airplanes.
(3) This FAA AD does not require a
detailed inspection to determine the position
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
of each tail cone triangle as specified in
paragraph 3. of the EASA AD because that
action was already accomplished on all
Airbus Model A318 series airplanes during
production.
Other FAA AD Provisions
(g) The following provisions also apply to
this AD:
(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance
(AMOCs): The Manager, International
Branch, FAA, has the authority to approve
AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the
procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send
information to ATTN: Tim Dulin, Aerospace
Engineer, International Branch, ANM–116,
Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA, 1601
Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington
98057–3356; telephone (425) 227–2141; fax
(425) 227–1149. Before using any approved
AMOC on any airplane to which the AMOC
applies, notify your principal maintenance
inspector (PMI) or principal avionics
inspector (PAI), as appropriate, or lacking a
principal inspector, your local Flight
Standards District Office.
(2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement
in this AD to obtain corrective actions from
a manufacturer or other source, use these
actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective
actions are considered FAA-approved if they
are approved by the State of Design Authority
(or their delegated agent). You are required
to assure the product is airworthy before it
is returned to service.
(3) Reporting Requirements: For any
reporting requirement in 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 and has assigned OMB Control
Number 2120–0056.

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
The rule establishing Class D and E
airspace and modifying Class E airspace
for Ocala International Airport—Jim
Taylor Field, Ocala, FL, published in
the Federal Register June 24, 2009 (74
FR 29939), became effective August 27,
2009. Subsequent to the effective date of
the rule, the FAA found that the radius
in the Class E5 description for Ocala
International Airport—Jim Taylor Field
was stated incorrectly. This action
corrects that error.
The FAA published this direct final
rule with a request for comments
establishing and modifying Class D and
E airspace, Ocala, FL in the Federal
Register on June 24, 2009 (74 FR 29939),
Docket No. FAA–2009–0326; Airspace
Docket 09–ASO–15. The FAA uses the
direct final rulemaking procedure for a
non-controversial rule where the FAA
believes that there will be no adverse
public comment. This direct final rule
advised the public that no adverse
comments were anticipated, and that
unless a written adverse comment, or a
written notice of intent to submit such
an adverse comment, were received
within the comment period, the
regulation would become effective on
August 27, 2009. No adverse comments
were received, and thus this notice
confirms that effective date. With the
exception of the changes described
above, this rule is the same as that
published in the Federal Register as a
direct final rule.

I. Introduction
The Commission, as part of its
oversight responsibilities, reviews its
rules and guides periodically to seek
information about their costs and
benefits, as well as their regulatory and
economic impact. The information
obtained assists the Commission in
identifying rules and guides that
warrant modification or rescission.
On February 27, 2008, the
Commission sought comment about the
Amplifier Rule, including comments
regarding whether there was a
continuing need for the Rule, the impact
of the Rule on the flow of truthful
information to consumers, suggested
modifications to the Rule, and the costs
and benefits associated with the Rule.
The Commission also sought specific
comments concerning whether the Rule
should be amended to address testing
requirements for determining the power
ratings for multichannel amplifiers.
The Commission has reviewed the
comments, and concludes that the Rule
continues to benefit consumers and
should be retained. The Commission
also has determined that the evidence
does not indicate widespread deceptive
or unfair practices that would justify
any amendments to the Rule, including
amendments to the testing procedures
for multichannel amplifiers.

Chung, (202) 326-2984, Attorney,
Division of Enforcement, Bureau of
Consumer Protection, Federal Trade
Commission, Washington, DC 20580.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
In response to misleading or
confusing power distortion and other
performance claims, the Commission
promulgated the Amplifier Rule in 1974
to assist consumers who purchase
power amplification equipment. The
Rule standardized the measurement and
disclosure of various performance
characteristics of power amplification
equipment intended for home
entertainment purposes. 39 FR 15387
(May 3, 1974).
In particular, the Rule requires that
manufacturers fully drive all
‘‘associated’’ channels to the rated per
channel power when measuring the
power output of sound amplification
equipment that is designed to amplify
two or more channels simultaneously.
At the time the Commission established
the Rule, the only equipment subject to
this requirement was stereo amplifiers,
and thus the Rule required
manufacturers to fully drive both
‘‘associated’’ channels of such amplifiers
when measuring power output.
Technological developments have
changed the market for sound power
amplification equipment since the
Commission issued the Amplifier Rule.
For example, improvements in amplifier
design have enabled manufactures to
The Federal Trade
Commission (‘‘FTC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’)
has completed its regulatory review of
its Trade Regulation Rule Relating to
Power Output Claims for Amplifiers
Utilized in Home Entertainment
Products (‘‘Amplifier Rule’’ or ‘‘Rule’’), as
part of the Commission’s systematic
review of all current Commission
regulations and guides, and has
determined to retain the Rule in its
current form. The Commission also
takes this opportunity to issue guidance
concerning the testing requirements
under the Rule for measuring power
ratings of multichannel amplifiers.
DATES: This action is effective as of
January 26, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Requests for copies of this
notice should be sent to: Public
