Airworthiness Directives; Cessna Aircraft Company Airplanes, 4092-4093 [2013-01000]

Download as PDF 4092 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 13 / Friday, January 18, 2013 / Proposed Rules 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, 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 to the extent that it justifies making a regulatory distinction; 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. We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety. The Proposed Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows: VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:10 Jan 17, 2013 Jkt 229001 PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES 1.

ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal. AGENCY: This document withdraws a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that would have applied to certain Cessna Aircraft Company Models 172RG, R182, TR182, FR182, 210N, T210N, 210R, T210R, P210N, P210R, and T303 airplanes. The proposed airworthiness directive (AD) would have required you to inspect the aircraft’s hydraulic power pack wiring for incorrect installation, and if needed, correct the installation. Since issuance of the NPRM, the FAA has re-evaluated this airworthiness concern and determined that an unsafe condition does not exist that would warrant AD action. This withdrawal does not prevent the FAA from initiating future rulemaking on this subject.

SUMMARY: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion We issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products. That NPRM published in the Federal Register on September 11, 2012 (77 FR E:\FR\FM\18JAP1.SGM 18JAP1 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 13 / Friday, January 18, 2013 / Proposed Rules 55770). That NPRM proposed to require you to inspect the aircraft’s hydraulic power pack wiring for incorrect installation, and if needed, correct the installation. Since issuance of the NPRM, in light of the comments received on the NPRM, the FAA re-evaluated the details that went into the determination of the unsafe condition for this concern. Based on new information discovered during the re-evaluation, we determined that: • An unsafe condition warranting AD action does not exist; and • The associated level of risk does not warrant AD action. To further mitigate this concern from recurring, the FAA may take another airworthiness action such as a special airworthiness information bulletin (SAIB) to recommend the actions contained in the proposed rule and capture potential concerns identified by the public during the comment period. Withdrawal of this NPRM constitutes only such action and does not preclude the agency from issuing future rulemaking on this issue, nor does it commit the agency to any course of action in the future. Regulatory Findings Since this action only withdraws an NPRM, it is neither a proposed nor a final rule and therefore, is not covered under Executive Order 12866, the Regulatory Flexibility Act, or DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979).

Airworthiness Directives; Cessna Aircraft Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: This document withdraws a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) 
that would have applied to certain Cessna Aircraft Company Models 
172RG, R182, TR182, FR182, 210N, T210N, 210R, T210R, P210N, P210R, and 
T303 airplanes. The proposed airworthiness directive (AD) would have 
required you to inspect the aircraft's hydraulic power pack wiring for 
incorrect installation, and if needed, correct the installation. Since 
issuance of the NPRM, the FAA has re-evaluated this airworthiness 
concern and determined that an unsafe condition does not exist that 
would warrant AD action. This withdrawal does not prevent the FAA from 
initiating future rulemaking on this subject.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion

    We issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products. 
That NPRM published in the Federal Register on September 11, 2012 (77 
FR

[[Page 4093]]

55770). That NPRM proposed to require you to inspect the aircraft's 
hydraulic power pack wiring for incorrect installation, and if needed, 
correct the installation.
    Since issuance of the NPRM, in light of the comments received on 
the NPRM, the FAA re-evaluated the details that went into the 
determination of the unsafe condition for this concern. Based on new 
information discovered during the re-evaluation, we determined that:
     An unsafe condition warranting AD action does not exist; 
and
     The associated level of risk does not warrant AD action.
    To further mitigate this concern from recurring, the FAA may take 
another airworthiness action such as a special airworthiness 
information bulletin (SAIB) to recommend the actions contained in the 
proposed rule and capture potential concerns identified by the public 
during the comment period.
    Withdrawal of this NPRM constitutes only such action and does not 
preclude the agency from issuing future rulemaking on this issue, nor 
does it commit the agency to any course of action in the future.

Regulatory Findings

    Since this action only withdraws an NPRM, it is neither a proposed 
nor a final rule and therefore, is not covered under Executive Order 
12866, the Regulatory Flexibility Act, or DOT Regulatory Policies and 
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979).

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by 
reference, Safety.

The Withdrawal

    Accordingly, the notice of proposed rulemaking, Docket No. FAA-
2012-0962, published in the Federal Register on September 11, 2012 (77 
FR 55770), is withdrawn.

    Issued in Kansas City, Missouri, on January 14, 2013.
