We propose to adopt a new

the connector keyways to 12 o’clock if
necessary; and replacing the coil cord
assemblies on both number 2 windows
on the flight deck. This proposed AD

aspects of this proposed AD. We will

Discussion
We received a report of arcing and
smoke at the left number 2 window in
the flight deck. The arcing and smoke
were traced to mechanical damage of
the heat-coil assembly at the 90-degree
connector back shell. It appears that the
wires are being stressed at the back shell
when the window is cycled open and
closed. The repeated cycles are causing
the wires to fatigue and break resulting
in arcing, smoke, and fire in the flight
deck. This condition, if not corrected,
could lead to injuries to or
incapacitation of the flight crew.
Relevant Service Information
We reviewed Boeing Special
Attention Service Bulletin 737–30–
1058, Revision 3, dated July 7, 2010.
The service information describes
procedures for inspecting the
orientation of both sides of the coil cord
connector keyways, re-clocking the
connector keyways to the 12 o’clock
position if necessary; and replacing the
existing coil cord assemblies with new
assemblies on both sides of the flight
deck.
FAA’s Determination
We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all the relevant information
and determined the unsafe condition
described previously is likely to exist or
develop in other products of the same
type designs.
Proposed AD Requirements
This proposed AD would require
accomplishing the actions specified in
the service information described
previously.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this proposed AD
will affect 687 airplanes of U.S. registry.
We estimate the following costs to
comply with 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
products identified in this rulemaking
action.
Regulatory Findings
We 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 this proposed regulation:
(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under Executive Order 12866,
Cost per product
Cost on U.S. operators
$1,608
6 work-hours × $85 per hour
= $510.
According to the manufacturer, some
of the costs of this proposed AD may be
covered under warranty, thereby
reducing the cost impact on affected
individuals. We do not control warranty
coverage for affected individuals. As a
result, we have included all costs in our
cost estimate.

(2) Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation
in Alaska, and
(4) Will not have a significant
economic impact, positive or negative,

under the criteria of the Regulatory

I. Background
2. In Order No. 697,2 the Commission
adopted affiliate restrictions that govern
the relationship between franchised
public utilities with captive customers
and their ‘‘market-regulated’’ power
sales affiliates, i.e., affiliates whose
power sales are regulated in whole or in
part on a market-based rate basis. These
market-based rate affiliate restrictions
govern the separation of functions, the
sharing of market information, sales of
non-power goods or services, and power
brokering. The Commission requires
that, as a condition of receiving and
retaining market-based rate authority,
sellers comply with these affiliate
restrictions unless explicitly permitted
by Commission rule or order. Failure to
satisfy the conditions set forth in the
affiliate restrictions constitutes a
violation of a seller’s market-based rate
tariff.3
3. On March 9, 2009, the Compliance
Working Group 4 submitted a request for
clarification in the Commission’s
market-based rate rulemaking
proceeding regarding which employees
can be shared for purposes of
compliance with the Commission’s
market-based rate affiliate restrictions.
On October 28, 2009, the Compliance
Working Group submitted an amended
request for clarification. In response to
the Compliance Working Group’s
request, the Commission provided
clarification regarding which employees
may not be shared under the affiliate

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This proposed AD would require an inspection of
the orientation of both sides of the coil cord connector keyways of the
number 2 windows on the flight deck, re-clocking the connector keyways
to 12 o'clock if necessary; and replacing the coil cord assemblies on
both number 2 windows on the flight deck. This proposed AD was prompted
by reports of arcing and smoke at the number 2 window in the flight
deck. We are proposing this AD to prevent arcing, smoke, and fire in
the flight deck, which could lead to injuries to or incapacitation of
the flight crew.
DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by March 14, 2011.

According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this proposed

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 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 this 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),
(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
(4) 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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39
Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.
