[FR Doc. 2011–876 Filed 1–14–11; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910–13–P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Aviation Administration 14 CFR Part 39 [Docket No. FAA–2010–1311; Directorate Identifier 2009–NM–229–AD] RIN 2120–AA64 Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Model 757 Airplanes Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation (DOT). ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). WReier-Aviles on DSKDVH8Z91PROD with PROPOSALS-1 AGENCY: The FAA proposes to supersede an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Model 757 airplanes. The existing AD currently requires inspecting certain power feeder wire bundles for damage, inspecting the support clamps for these wire bundles to determine whether the SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:10 Jan 14, 2011 Jkt 223001 clamps are properly installed, and performing corrective actions if necessary. This proposed AD would require additional inspections for certain airplanes. This proposed AD results from a report that a power feeder wire bundle chafed against the number six auxiliary slat track, causing electrical wires in the bundle to arc, which damaged both the auxiliary slat track and power feeder wires. We are proposing this AD to prevent arcing that could be a possible ignition source for leaked flammable fluids, which could result in a fire. Arcing could also result in a loss of power from the generator connected to the power feeder wire bundle, and consequent loss of systems, which could reduce controllability of the airplane. DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by March 4, 2011. ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods: • Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to https://www.regulations.gov.

We will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we receive about this proposed AD. Discussion On January 18, 2007, we issued AD 2007–03–01, Amendment 39–14912 (72 FR 3939, January 29, 2007), for certain Model 757 airplanes. That AD requires inspecting certain power feeder wire bundles for damage, inspecting the support clamps for those wire bundles to determine whether the clamps are properly installed, and performing corrective actions if necessary. That AD resulted from a report that a power feeder wire bundle chafed against the number six auxiliary slat track, causing electrical wires in the bundle to arc, which damaged both the auxiliary slat track and power feeder wires. We issued that AD to prevent arcing that could be a possible ignition source for leaked flammable fluids, which could result in a fire. Arcing could also result in a loss of power from the generator connected to the power feeder wire bundle, and consequent loss of systems, which could reduce controllability of the airplane. Actions Since Existing AD Was Issued Since we issued AD 2007–03–01, we have learned that Boeing inadvertently identified certain airplanes with incorrect group numbers in Boeing E:\FR\FM\18JAP1.SGM 18JAP1 2849 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 11 / Tuesday, January 18, 2011 / Proposed Rules Special Attention Service Bulletins 757– 24–0105 and 757–24–0106, both Revision 2, both dated April 20, 2006. We referred to those service bulletins as the appropriate sources of service information for accomplishing the required actions of AD 2007–03–01. As a result of identifying this error, Boeing has revised Special Attention Service Bulletins 757–24–0105 and 757–24– 0106. Relevant Service Information We have reviewed Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 757–24– 0105, Revision 3, dated October 3, 2006; Revision 4, dated January 4, 2008; and Revision 5, dated July 30, 2009 (for Model 757–200, –200CB, and –200PF series airplanes). Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 757–24– 0105, Revision 3, dated October 3, 2006, corrects a compliance recommendation and adds more part number data applicable to the spacer. Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 757–24– 0105, Revision 4, dated January 4, 2008, corrects a part number and adds AD data. Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 757–24–0105, Revision 5, dated July 30, 2009, contains a change in the airplane group and configuration data, adds maintenance zones, and adds another optional fastener to plug the hole in the bracket. Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 757–24– 0105, Revision 5, dated July 30, 2009, states that additional work is required for airplanes that have been moved from Group 2 to Group 1, Configuration 2. Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 757–24–0105, Revision 5, dated July 30, 2009, states that these airplanes require a general visual inspection to make sure they have support clamps for the power feeder wire bundles W3312 and W3412 at front spar station 148.90 and clamps installed on the lower brackets on the left wings as shown in Figure 3 of Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 757–24–0105, Revision 5, dated July 30, 2009. We have also reviewed Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 757–24– 0106, Revision 3, dated October 3, 2006; Revision 4, dated January 4, 2008; and Revision 5, dated July 30, 2009 (for Model 757–300 series airplanes). Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 757– 24–0106, Revision 3, dated October 3, 2006, corrects a compliance recommendation and adds more part number data applicable to the spacer. Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 757–24–0106, Revision 4, dated January 4, 2008, regrouped certain airplanes from Group 1 to Group 2. For this group of newly moved airplanes, Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 757–24–0106, Revision 4, dated January 4, 2008, regrouped airplanes having variable numbers NL101–NL104, NL141, and NL601–NL607 from Group 1 to Group 2 and added wire bundle W5784 and W5786 data. The airplanes moved to Group 2 require additional work: Doing a general visual inspection for damage (including but not limited to chafing) of wire bundles W5784 and W5786, doing a general visual inspection of the support clamps for those power feeder wire bundles to determine whether the clamps are properly installed, and doing corrective actions if necessary. The corrective actions include repairing damage of the power feeder wire bundles, installing in the correct hole of the attach bracket any support clamp found installed elsewhere, installing a spacer if one is not already installed, and installing a rivet to plug the open hole in the attach bracket. Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 757–24–0106, Revision 5, dated July 30, 2009, adds affected maintenance zones and an optional rivet to plug the open hole in the bracket. FAA’s Determination and Requirements of the Proposed AD We have evaluated all pertinent information and identified an unsafe condition that is likely to develop on other airplanes of the same type design. For this reason, we are proposing this AD, which would supersede AD 2007– 03–01 and would retain the requirements of the existing AD. This proposed AD would also require accomplishing the actions specified in the service information described previously. Change to Existing AD We have removed the ‘‘Service Bulletin Reference’’ paragraph from this NPRM. (That paragraph was identified as paragraph (f) in AD 2007–03–01). Instead, we have provided the full service bulletin citations throughout this NPRM. Costs of Compliance There are approximately 902 Model 757 airplanes of the affected design in the worldwide fleet. We estimate that 631 airplanes of U.S. registry would be affected by this proposed AD. ESTIMATED COSTS Action Work hours Average labor rate per hour Parts Cost per airplane Number of U.S.-registered airplanes 2 $85 $0 $170 per inspection cycle. 683 Inspection for certain Group 1 Model 757– 200, –200CB, –200PF series airplanes (new proposed action). Inspections for Model 757–300 series airplanes (new proposed action). WReier-Aviles on DSKDVH8Z91PROD with PROPOSALS-1 Inspection (required by AD 2007–03–01) ...... 5 $85 $0 $425 per inspection cycle. 646 4 $85 $0 $340 per inspection cycle. 37 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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:10 Jan 14, 2011 Jkt 223001 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 PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 Fleet cost $116,110 per inspection cycle. $274,550 per inspection cycle. $12,580 per inspection cycle.. 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 E:\FR\FM\18JAP1.SGM 18JAP1 2850 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 11 / Tuesday, January 18, 2011 / Proposed Rules products identified in this rulemaking action. PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES Regulatory Findings 1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: We have determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 the proposed regulation: 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 proposed 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. § 39.13 [Amended] 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by removing Amendment 39–14912 (72 FR 3939, January 29, 2007) and adding the following new AD: The Boeing Company: Docket No. FAA– 2010–1311; Directorate Identifier 2009– NM–229–AD. Comments Due Date (a) The FAA must receive comments on this AD action by March 4, 2011. Affected ADs (b) This AD supersedes AD 2007–03–01, Amendment 39–14912. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Applicability (c) This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 757–200, –200PF, –200CB, and –300 series airplanes, certificated in any category, specified in paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this AD. (1) Model 757–200, –200PF, and –200CB series airplanes, as identified in Boeing Special Attention Bulletin 757–24–0105, Revision 5, dated July 30, 2009.

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety. Subject (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 24: Electrical power. The Proposed Amendment Unsafe Condition (e) This AD results from a report that a power feeder wire bundle chafed against the number six auxiliary slat track, causing electrical wires in the bundle to arc, which damaged both the auxiliary slat track and Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows: power feeder wires. The Federal Aviation Administration is issuing this AD to prevent arcing that could be a possible ignition source for leaked flammable fluids, which could result in a fire. Arcing could also result in a loss of power from the generator connected to the power feeder wire bundle, and consequent loss of systems, which could reduce controllability of the airplane. Compliance (f) You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background and Explanation of Provision Section 7623(a) provides the Secretary with the authority to pay such sums as he deems necessary from proceeds of amounts collected based on information provided to the Secretary when the information relates to the detection of underpayments of tax or the detection and bringing to trial and punishment persons guilty of violating the internal revenue laws or conniving at the same. Section 7623(b) provides the Secretary with the authority to pay awards to individuals if the Secretary proceeds with an administrative or judicial action described in section 7623(a) that results in collected proceeds based on information provided by the individuals. Section 301.7623–1(a) currently provides that proceeds of amounts (other than interest) collected by reason of the information provided include both amounts collected because of the information provided and amounts collected prior to receipt of the information if the information leads to the denial of a claim for refund that otherwise would have been paid. 63 FR 44777. Section 301.7623–1(a) was promulgated prior to amendments of section 7623 as part of the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006, division A, section 406, Public Law 109–432, 120 Stat. 2958. The amendments designated the existing section 7623 as section 7623(a). As originally enacted, section 7623 provided that rewards shall be paid ‘‘from the proceeds of amounts (other than interest) collected by reason of the information provided z5 * * * ’’ The 2006 amendments to section 7623 struck the ‘‘other than interest’’ language. The amendments also added section 7623(b), which provides that in certain cases individuals shall receive an award of at least 15% but not more than 30% of the collected proceeds resulting from the action with which the Secretary proceeded based on information brought to the attention of the Secretary by the individual. The 2006 amendments to section 7623 also created the IRS Whistleblower Office, which is responsible for administering a whistleblower program within the IRS. E:\FR\FM\18JAP1.SGM 18JAP1

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Model 757 Airplanes

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

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede an existing airworthiness
directive (AD) that applies to certain Model 757 airplanes. The
existing AD currently requires inspecting certain power feeder wire
bundles for damage, inspecting the support clamps for these wire
bundles to determine whether the clamps are properly installed, and
performing corrective actions if necessary. This proposed AD would
require additional inspections for certain airplanes. This proposed AD
results from a report that a power feeder wire bundle chafed against
the number six auxiliary slat track, causing electrical wires in the
bundle to arc, which damaged both the auxiliary slat track and power
feeder wires. We are proposing this AD to prevent arcing that could be
a possible ignition source for leaked flammable fluids, which could
result in a fire. Arcing could also result in a loss of power from the
generator connected to the power feeder wire bundle, and consequent
loss of systems, which could reduce controllability of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by March 4, 2011.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:

Discussion

On January 18, 2007, we issued AD 2007-03-01, Amendment 39-14912
(72 FR 3939, January 29, 2007), for certain Model 757 airplanes. That
AD requires inspecting certain power feeder wire bundles for damage,
inspecting the support clamps for those wire bundles to determine
whether the clamps are properly installed, and performing corrective
actions if necessary. That AD resulted from a report that a power
feeder wire bundle chafed against the number six auxiliary slat track,
causing electrical wires in the bundle to arc, which damaged both the
auxiliary slat track and power feeder wires. We issued that AD to
prevent arcing that could be a possible ignition source for leaked
flammable fluids, which could result in a fire. Arcing could also
result in a loss of power from the generator connected to the power
feeder wire bundle, and consequent loss of systems, which could reduce
controllability of the airplane.

Actions Since Existing AD Was Issued

Since we issued AD 2007-03-01, we have learned that Boeing
inadvertently identified certain airplanes with incorrect group numbers
in Boeing

[[Page 2849]]

Special Attention Service Bulletins 757-24-0105 and 757-24-0106, both
Revision 2, both dated April 20, 2006. We referred to those service
bulletins as the appropriate sources of service information for
accomplishing the required actions of AD 2007-03-01. As a result of
identifying this error, Boeing has revised Special Attention Service
Bulletins 757-24-0105 and 757-24-0106.

Relevant Service Information

We have reviewed Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 757-24-
0105, Revision 3, dated October 3, 2006; Revision 4, dated January 4,
2008; and Revision 5, dated July 30, 2009 (for Model 757-200, -200CB,
and -200PF series airplanes). Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin
757-24-0105, Revision 3, dated October 3, 2006, corrects a compliance
recommendation and adds more part number data applicable to the spacer.
Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 757-24-0105, Revision 4,
dated January 4, 2008, corrects a part number and adds AD data. Boeing
Special Attention Service Bulletin 757-24-0105, Revision 5, dated July
30, 2009, contains a change in the airplane group and configuration
data, adds maintenance zones, and adds another optional fastener to
plug the hole in the bracket. Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin
757-24-0105, Revision 5, dated July 30, 2009, states that additional
work is required for airplanes that have been moved from Group 2 to
Group 1, Configuration 2. Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin
757-24-0105, Revision 5, dated July 30, 2009, states that these
airplanes require a general visual inspection to make sure they have
support clamps for the power feeder wire bundles W3312 and W3412 at
front spar station 148.90 and clamps installed on the lower brackets on
the left wings as shown in Figure 3 of Boeing Special Attention Service
Bulletin 757-24-0105, Revision 5, dated July 30, 2009.
We have also reviewed Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin
757-24-0106, Revision 3, dated October 3, 2006; Revision 4, dated
January 4, 2008; and Revision 5, dated July 30, 2009 (for Model 757-300
series airplanes). Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 757-24-
0106, Revision 3, dated October 3, 2006, corrects a compliance
recommendation and adds more part number data applicable to the spacer.
Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 757-24-0106, Revision 4,
dated January 4, 2008, regrouped certain airplanes from Group 1 to
Group 2. For this group of newly moved airplanes, Boeing Special
Attention Service Bulletin 757-24-0106, Revision 4, dated January 4,
2008, regrouped airplanes having variable numbers NL101-NL104, NL141,
and NL601-NL607 from Group 1 to Group 2 and added wire bundle W5784 and
W5786 data. The airplanes moved to Group 2 require additional work:
Doing a general visual inspection for damage (including but not limited
to chafing) of wire bundles W5784 and W5786, doing a general visual
inspection of the support clamps for those power feeder wire bundles to
determine whether the clamps are properly installed, and doing
corrective actions if necessary. The corrective actions include
repairing damage of the power feeder wire bundles, installing in the
correct hole of the attach bracket any support clamp found installed
elsewhere, installing a spacer if one is not already installed, and
installing a rivet to plug the open hole in the attach bracket.
Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 757-24-0106, Revision 5,
dated July 30, 2009, adds affected maintenance zones and an optional
rivet to plug the open hole in the bracket.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of the Proposed AD

We have evaluated all pertinent information and identified an
unsafe condition that is likely to develop on other airplanes of the
same type design. For this reason, we are proposing this AD, which
would supersede AD 2007-03-01 and would retain the requirements of the
existing AD. This proposed AD would also require accomplishing the
actions specified in the service information described previously.

Change to Existing AD

We have removed the ``Service Bulletin Reference'' paragraph from
this NPRM. (That paragraph was identified as paragraph (f) in AD 2007-
03-01). Instead, we have provided the full service bulletin citations
throughout this NPRM.

Costs of Compliance

There are approximately 902 Model 757 airplanes of the affected
design in the worldwide fleet. We estimate that 631 airplanes of U.S.
registry would be affected by this proposed AD.

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

[[Page 2850]]

products identified in this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

We have determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 the proposed
regulation:
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 proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket. See the
ADDRESSES section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation.
