Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company
Document Number: 2013-11694
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2013-05-16
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 737-300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer. This proposed AD would require, depending on airplane configuration, replacing fuel pump power control relays with new relays having a ground fault interrupter (GFI) feature, installing ground studs and a bonding jumper, doing certain bonding resistance measurements, and changing the GFI relay position. This proposed AD would also require revising the maintenance program to incorporate certain airworthiness limitations. We are proposing this AD to prevent damage to the fuel pumps caused by electrical arcing that could introduce an ignition source in the fuel tank, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the airplane.
Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) Opportunity With the Department of Homeland Security for the Development of a Foot-and-Mouth Disease 3ABC ELISA Diagnostic Kit
Document Number: 2013-11693
Type: Notice
Date: 2013-05-16
Agency: Department of Homeland Security
The Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate (DHS S&T), through its Plum Island Animal Disease Center (PIADC), is seeking industry collaborators to aid DHS S&T in developing an ELISA diagnostic test that it capable of obtaining a U.S. regulatory license to detect antibodies to at least one of the Foot and Mouth Disease virus (FMDV) non-structural proteins (NSP): 3A, 3B, or 3C. This new FMDV 3ABC ELISA may be used in the event of a real or suspected outbreak of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) in order to differentiate infected from vaccinated, non-infected animals (DIVA). The role of the industry collaborator(s) in this CRADA will be to develop and validate the FMDV 3ABC ELISA assay in collaboration with DHS S&T and the United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Foreign Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (USDA APHIS FADDL) at PIADC, and with other U.S. laboratories that are associated with USDA, such as the National Animal Health Laboratory Network (NAHLN). Components of a prototype assay, developed by USDA, Texas Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory, and a 3rd party fee-for-service contractor, will be made available to the industry collaborator(s). The goal of the CRADA is to submit a data package to USDA APHIS Center for Veterinary Biologics (CVB) in order to obtain a U.S. regulatory license for use under the direction of USDA administrators of the FMDV 3ABC ELISA in the U.S. (See CVB Veterinary Services Memorandum No. 800.73 for ``General Requirements for Immunodiagnostic Test Kits for the Detection of Antibody or Antigen.'') The assay must also successfully identify and test a reference panel of sera provided by OIE (World Organisation for Animal Health) as tested in a U.S. Reference Laboratory, e.g., USDA APHIS FADDL. DHS S&T is seeking CRADA collaborators that own or have access to the technological components for, have the technological expertise in, and have proven track records of success in the fields of diagnostic test kit research, development, and the obtaining of USDA licensure for the detection of antibodies to viral antigen(s). CRADA collaborators must indicate if they are currently or may be funded by the Federal government, and, if yes, they must include a discussion of how proposed CRADA work and Federal government-funded work would not be duplicative. The proposed term of the CRADA can be up to thirty (30) months.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
Document Number: 2013-11687
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2013-05-16
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-100B SUD, 747- 200B, 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747-400, 747-400D, 747-400F, 747SR, and 747SP series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of a disbonded doubler and a skin crack in section 41 of the fuselage, and multiple reports of cracked or missing fastener heads. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections for cracking of the fuselage skin, discrepant fasteners, and for disbonds at the doublers; and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. For certain airplanes, this proposed AD would also require a terminating repair for repair doublers. We are proposing this AD to prevent rapid decompression and loss of structural integrity of the airplane due to such disbonding and subsequent cracking of the skin panels.
