Special Conditions: Model C–27J
Airplane; Class E Cargo Compartment
Lavatory
AGENCY: Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final special conditions.
SUMMARY: These special conditions are
issued for the Alenia Model C–27J
airplane. This airplane has novel or
unusual design features when compared
to the state of technology described in
the airworthiness standards for
transport-category airplanes. These
design features include a lavatory in the
Class E cargo compartment. The
applicable airworthiness regulations do
not contain adequate or appropriate
safety standards for these design
features. These special conditions
contain the additional safety standards
that the Administrator considers
necessary to establish a level of safety
equivalent to that established by the
existing airworthiness standards. The
FAA has issued additional special
conditions for other novel or unusual
design features of the C–27J.
DATES: Effective Date: January 22, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 27, 2006, the European
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)
forwarded to the FAA an application
from Alenia Aeronautica of Torino,
Italy, for U.S. type certification of a
twin-engine, commercial transport
designated as the Model C–27J. The C–
27J is a twin-turbopropeller, cargotransport aircraft with a maximum
takeoff weight of 30,500 kilograms.
Type Certification Basis
Under the provisions of § 21.17 of
Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR), and the bilateral agreement
between the U.S. and Italy, Alenia
Aeronautica must show that the C–27J
meets the applicable provisions of 14
CFR part 25, as amended by
Amendments 25–1 through 25–87.
E:\FR\FM\08FER1.SGM
08FER1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 25 / Monday, February 8, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with RULES
Alenia also elects to comply with
Amendment 25–122, effective
September 5, 2007, for 14 CFR 25.1317.
If the Administrator finds that
existing airworthiness regulations do
not adequately or appropriately address
safety standards for the C–27J due to a
novel or unusual design feature, the
FAA prescribes special conditions
under provisions of 14 CFR 21.16.
In addition to the applicable
airworthiness regulations and special
conditions, the C–27J must comply with
the fuel-vent and exhaust-emission
requirements of 14 CFR part 34 and the
noise-certification requirements of 14
CFR part 36, and the FAA must issue a
finding of regulatory adequacy under
§ 611 of Public Law 92–574, the ‘‘Noise
Control Act of 1972.’’
The FAA issues special conditions, as
defined in 14 CFR 11.19, in accordance
with § 11.38, and they become part of
the type-certification basis under
§ 21.17(a)(2).
Special conditions are initially
applicable to the model for which they
are issued. Should the type certificate
for that model be amended later to
include any other model that
incorporates the same or similar novel
or unusual design feature, the special
conditions also apply to the other model
under § 21.101.
Novel or Unusual Design Features
The C–27J incorporates a lavatory into
the Class E cargo compartment, which is
considered a novel or unusual design
feature in a cargo compartment. In
developing the airworthiness
requirements for cargo compartments,
the FAA did not envision that a lavatory
would be installed inside a Class E
cargo compartment. Lavatories,
including the one to be installed in the
C–27J, typically contain electrical
systems, which could serve as ignition
sources for a fire; and an oxygen supply
system, which could intensify the
growth and size of a fire. Therefore, a
means must be provided to disconnect
or otherwise remove these two factors,
as potentially contributing to a fire, in
the event smoke or fire is detected in the
cargo compartment and lavatory.
The existing airworthiness regulations
do not adequately or appropriately
address safety standards for these design
features. These special conditions for
the C–27J contain the additional safety
standards that the Administrator
considers necessary to establish a level
of safety equivalent to that established
by the existing airworthiness standards.
Discussion
Specific regulations governing Class E
cargo compartments:
VerDate Nov<24>2008
11:08 Feb 05, 2010
Jkt 220001
(a) Section 25.855, the materialstandards and design considerations for
cargo-compartment interiors; the
statement that each cargo compartment
must meet one of the Class requirements
of § 25.857; and the flight testing which
must be conducted for certification.
(b) Section 25.857, the standards for
the various classes of transport-category
airplane-cargo compartments.
(c) Section 25.858, design and
certification requirements for cargo- or
baggage-compartment fire- or smokedetection systems, and a standard that
fire be detected and indicated to the
crew less than one minute after
inception.
Specific regulations governing
lavatory installations, regardless of
location:
(d) Section 25.783, requirements to
preclude anyone from becoming trapped
inside the lavatory.
(e) Section 25.791, lavatory placarding
requirements.
(f) Section 25.853, interior materialtest standards, smoking-prohibition
requirements, ashtray requirements, and
waste-receptacle design-and-material
standards.
(g) Section 25.854, lavatory smokedetector and fire-extinguisher
requirements.
In developing the airworthiness
requirements for cargo compartments,
the FAA did not envision that a lavatory
would be installed in a Class E cargo
compartment. Therefore, special
conditions must be established to
ensure that means are available to shut
off the electrical system in the lavatory,
and the oxygen-supply system in the
lavatory, in the event of a smokedetector alarm in the cargo compartment
or lavatory.
Discussion of Comments
Notice of proposed special conditions
no. 25–09–12–SC for the Alenia Model
C–27J airplanes was published in the
Federal Register on October 23, 2009.
No comments were received, and the
special conditions are adopted as
proposed.
Applicability
As discussed above, these special
conditions are applicable to the C–27J.
Should Alenia apply at a later date for
a change to the type certificate to
include another model incorporating the
same or similar novel or unusual design
features, these special conditions apply
to that model as well under § 21.101.
Under standard practice, the effective
date of final special conditions would
be 30 days after the date of publication
in the Federal Register; however, as the
certification date for the Alenia Model
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4700

C–27J airplane is imminent, the FAA
finds that good cause exists to make
these special conditions effective upon
issuance.
Conclusion
This action affects only certain novel
or unusual design features of the Alenia
C–27J. It is not a rule of general
applicability, and it affects only the
applicant that applied to the FAA for
approval of these features on the
airplane.

The Special Conditions
Accordingly, the Administrator of the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
proposes the following special
conditions as part of the typecertification basis for the C–27J.
■
1. Control of Electrical Power to the
Lavatory Located in the Class E Cargo
Compartment
A means must be provided to shut off
electrical power to the lavatory should
smoke or fire be detected anywhere in
the Class E cargo compartment,
including in the lavatory. Two types of
shut-off systems meet this requirement:
• A manual system, with an airplane
flight manual (AFM) procedure to
instruct the flight crew on where and
how to shut off the power, or
• An automatic system that shuts off
power to the lavatory following a
lavatory or cargo-compartment smokedetector alarm.
2. Control of the Oxygen-DeliverySystem Flow to the Lavatory and Cargo
Compartment
A means must be provided to shut off
oxygen flow to the lavatory should
smoke or fire be detected anywhere in
the Class E cargo compartment,
including in the lavatory. Two types of
shut-off systems meet this requirement:
• A manual system, with an AFM
procedure to instruct the flight crew on
where and how to shut off the oxygen
flow, or
• An automatic system that shuts off
oxygen flow to the lavatory following a
lavatory or cargo-compartment smokedetector alarm.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with RULES
History
On October 29, 2009, the FAA
published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend
Class E airspace at Grand Junction, CO
(74 FR 55791). Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments
on the proposal to the FAA. No
comments were received.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.9T signed August 27, 2009,
and effective September 15, 2009, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
part 71.1. The Class E airspace
designations listed in this document
will be published subsequently in that
Order.
VerDate Nov<24>2008
11:08 Feb 05, 2010
Jkt 220001
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by
modifying the Class E airspace for the
Grand Junction, CO, area, adding
additional controlled airspace extending
upward from 1,200 feet above the
surface to accommodate vectoring IFR
aircraft departing Grand Junction
Regional, Grand Junction, CO, to en
route airspace. This action is necessary
for the safety and management of IFR
operations at the airport. This will also
update the airport name from Grand
Junction, Walker Field.
The FAA has determined this
regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which
frequent and routine amendments are
necessary to keep them operationally
current. Therefore, this regulation: (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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1,
section 106 discusses 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 additional
controlled airspace at Grand Junction
Regional, Grand Junction, CO.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 27, 2006, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)
forwarded to the FAA an application from Alenia Aeronautica of Torino,
Italy, for U.S. type certification of a twin-engine, commercial
transport designated as the Model C-27J. The C-27J is a twin-
turbopropeller, cargo-transport aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight
of 30,500 kilograms.
Type Certification Basis
Under the provisions of Sec. 21.17 of Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR), and the bilateral agreement between the U.S. and
Italy, Alenia Aeronautica must show that the C-27J meets the applicable
provisions of 14 CFR part 25, as amended by Amendments 25-1 through 25-
87.
[[Page 6093]]
Alenia also elects to comply with Amendment 25-122, effective September
5, 2007, for 14 CFR 25.1317.
If the Administrator finds that existing airworthiness regulations
do not adequately or appropriately address safety standards for the C-
27J due to a novel or unusual design feature, the FAA prescribes
special conditions under provisions of 14 CFR 21.16.
In addition to the applicable airworthiness regulations and special
conditions, the C-27J must comply with the fuel-vent and exhaust-
emission requirements of 14 CFR part 34 and the noise-certification
requirements of 14 CFR part 36, and the FAA must issue a finding of
regulatory adequacy under Sec. 611 of Public Law 92-574, the ``Noise
Control Act of 1972.''
The FAA issues special conditions, as defined in 14 CFR 11.19, in
accordance with Sec. 11.38, and they become part of the type-
certification basis under Sec. 21.17(a)(2).
Special conditions are initially applicable to the model for which
they are issued. Should the type certificate for that model be amended
later to include any other model that incorporates the same or similar
novel or unusual design feature, the special conditions also apply to
the other model under Sec. 21.101.
Novel or Unusual Design Features
The C-27J incorporates a lavatory into the Class E cargo
compartment, which is considered a novel or unusual design feature in a
cargo compartment. In developing the airworthiness requirements for
cargo compartments, the FAA did not envision that a lavatory would be
installed inside a Class E cargo compartment. Lavatories, including the
one to be installed in the C-27J, typically contain electrical systems,
which could serve as ignition sources for a fire; and an oxygen supply
system, which could intensify the growth and size of a fire. Therefore,
a means must be provided to disconnect or otherwise remove these two
factors, as potentially contributing to a fire, in the event smoke or
fire is detected in the cargo compartment and lavatory.
The existing airworthiness regulations do not adequately or
appropriately address safety standards for these design features. These
special conditions for the C-27J contain the additional safety
standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a
level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing
airworthiness standards.
Discussion
Specific regulations governing Class E cargo compartments:
(a) Section 25.855, the material-standards and design
considerations for cargo-compartment interiors; the statement that each
cargo compartment must meet one of the Class requirements of Sec.
25.857; and the flight testing which must be conducted for
certification.
(b) Section 25.857, the standards for the various classes of
transport-category airplane-cargo compartments.
(c) Section 25.858, design and certification requirements for
cargo- or baggage-compartment fire- or smoke-detection systems, and a
standard that fire be detected and indicated to the crew less than one
minute after inception.
Specific regulations governing lavatory installations, regardless
of location:
(d) Section 25.783, requirements to preclude anyone from becoming
trapped inside the lavatory.
(e) Section 25.791, lavatory placarding requirements.
(f) Section 25.853, interior material-test standards, smoking-
prohibition requirements, ashtray requirements, and waste-receptacle
design-and-material standards.
(g) Section 25.854, lavatory smoke-detector and fire-extinguisher
requirements.
In developing the airworthiness requirements for cargo
compartments, the FAA did not envision that a lavatory would be
installed in a Class E cargo compartment. Therefore, special conditions
must be established to ensure that means are available to shut off the
electrical system in the lavatory, and the oxygen-supply system in the
lavatory, in the event of a smoke-detector alarm in the cargo
compartment or lavatory.
Discussion of Comments
Notice of proposed special conditions no. 25-09-12-SC for the
Alenia Model C-27J airplanes was published in the Federal Register on
October 23, 2009. No comments were received, and the special conditions
are adopted as proposed.
Applicability
As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to the
C-27J. Should Alenia apply at a later date for a change to the type
certificate to include another model incorporating the same or similar
novel or unusual design features, these special conditions apply to
that model as well under Sec. 21.101.
Under standard practice, the effective date of final special
conditions would be 30 days after the date of publication in the
Federal Register; however, as the certification date for the Alenia
Model C-27J airplane is imminent, the FAA finds that good cause exists
to make these special conditions effective upon issuance.
Conclusion
This action affects only certain novel or unusual design features
of the Alenia C-27J. It is not a rule of general applicability, and it
affects only the applicant that applied to the FAA for approval of
these features on the airplane.

Accordingly, the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) proposes the following special conditions as part of the type-
certification basis for the C-27J.
1. Control of Electrical Power to the Lavatory Located in the Class E

meet this requirement:
A manual system, with an airplane flight manual (AFM)
procedure to instruct the flight crew on where and how to shut off the
power, or
An automatic system that shuts off power to the lavatory
following a lavatory or cargo-compartment smoke-detector alarm.
2. Control of the Oxygen-Delivery-System Flow to the Lavatory and Cargo
Compartment
A means must be provided to shut off oxygen flow to the lavatory
should smoke or fire be detected anywhere in the Class E cargo
compartment, including in the lavatory. Two types of shut-off systems
meet this requirement:
A manual system, with an AFM procedure to instruct the
flight crew on where and how to shut off the oxygen flow, or
An automatic system that shuts off oxygen flow to the
lavatory following a lavatory or cargo-compartment smoke-detector
alarm.
