Effective Date (a) This AD is effective August 30, 2011. multiple dual engine flameout events and one total power loss event, in ice-crystal icing conditions. We are issuing this AD to ensure that the flightcrew has the proper procedures to follow in certain icing conditions. These certain icing conditions could cause a multiple engine flameout during flight with the potential inability to restart the engines, and consequent forced landing 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. Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) Revision (g) Within 14 days after the effective date of this AD, revise the Limitations Section of the Boeing 747 or 767 AFM, as applicable, to include the following statement.

At or below 22,000 ft, wing anti-ice selector must be in the ON position. When these icing conditions (visible moisture and TAT less than 10 °C, including SAT less than ¥40 °C) are no longer present or anticipated, place the nacelle and wing anti-ice selectors in the OFF (or AUTO) position.’’ Note 1: When a statement identical to that in paragraph (g) of this AD has been included in the general revisions of the AFM, the general revisions may be inserted into the AFM, and the copy of this AD may be removed from the AFM.

[Notice 11-071]
RIN 2700-AD50


Boards and Committees

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This direct final rule makes nonsubstantive organizational 
changes to the NASA Inventions and Contributions Board (the Board) and 
removes and replaces obsolete references. The National Aeronautics and 
Space Administration (NASA) is amending its regulations by removing the 
reference to an obsolete NASA Management Instruction and to afford 
organizational flexibility to the Administrator in the functional 
placement of the Inventions and Contributions Board within the Agency 
without the need to amend the Code of Federal Regulations.

DATES: This direct final rule is effective September 26, 2011 unless 
the Agency receives significant adverse comments by midnight Eastern 
Standard Time on August 25, 2011.

ADDRESSES: Comments must be identified with ``RIN 2700-AD50'' and may 
be sent to NASA by the following method:
     Federal E-Rulemaking Portal: https://www.regulations.gov. 
Follow the online instructions for submitting comments. Please note 
that NASA may post all comments on the Internet without change, 
including any personal information provided.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Direct Final Rule and Significant Adverse Comments

    NASA has determined this rulemaking meets the criteria for a direct 
final rule because it involves nonsubstantive changes dealing with 
NASA's management of the Board. NASA does not anticipate that this 
direct final rule will result in any changes in the functions, 
authority, or membership of the Board. NASA expects no opposition to 
the changes and no significant adverse comments. However, if NASA 
receives a significant adverse comment, the Agency will withdraw this 
direct final rule by

[[Page 44462]]

publishing a notice in the Federal Register. A significant adverse 
comment is one that explains: (1) Why the direct final rule is 
inappropriate, including challenges to the rule's underlying premise or 
approach; or (2) why the direct final rule will be ineffective or 
unacceptable without a change. In determining whether a comment 
necessitates withdrawal of this direct final rule, NASA will consider 
whether it warrants a substantive response in a notice and comment 
process.

Statutory Authority

    The Board is established under the National Aeronautics and Space 
Act, as amended, 51 U.S.C. 20135(g). 51 U.S.C. 20136(a) authorizes the 
NASA Administrator to make monetary awards to any person for any 
scientific or technical contribution to NASA which is determined by the 
Administrator to have significant value in the conduct of aeronautical 
and space activities. Applications for such awards are referred to the 
Inventions and Contributions Board which transmits to the Administrator 
its recommendation as to the terms of the award. The functions, 
authority, and membership of the Inventions and Contributions Board are 
provided in NASA regulations at Title 14 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations, part 1209, subpart 4 (14 CFR 1209.400 et seq.).

Regulatory Analysis

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement

    This final rule does not contain an information collection 
requirement that is subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

Executive Order 12866 and Executive Order 13563

    Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 direct agencies to assess all 
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if 
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize 
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public 
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive 
Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and 
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting 
flexibility. This final rule has been designated a ``significant 
regulatory action'' although not economically significant, under 
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, the rule has been 
reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    It has been certified that this final rule is not subject to the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601) because it would not, if 
promulgated, have a significant economic impact on a substantial number 
of small entities. The rule implements the internal procedures for the 
effective administration of the Board.
