AGENCY:
We are adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
DASSAULT AVIATION Model
FALCON 2000, FALCON 2000EX,
MYSTERE–FALCON 900, and FALCON
900EX airplanes; and all Model
MYSTERE–FALCON 50 airplanes. This
SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:22 Jul 09, 2013
Jkt 229001
AD was prompted by reports that
collapse of the main landing gear (MLG)
could cause wing tank structure failure,
which could result in fuel spillage and
consequent fire hazard. This AD
requires modification of the wing fuel
tanks in the area of the wheel well. We
are issuing this AD to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of a MLG collapse,
and consequent fire hazard.
DATES: This AD becomes effective
August 14, 2013.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
of certain publications listed in this AD
as of August 14, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion
Request for Clarification of Credit
Service Bulletin
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 was published in the Federal
Register on October 10, 2012 (77 FR
61539). That NPRM proposed to correct
an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information (MCAI)
states:
In service experience has shown that, in
case of main landing gear collapse due to
overloads during take off or landing (e.g.,
during high-speed runway excursions), the
wing tank structure can fail, leading to fuel
spillage. . . .
This condition, if not corrected, could
result, in case of main landing gear collapse,
in a fuel spillage which may constitute a fire
hazard.
To address this unsafe condition, Dassault
Aviation have developed a structural
modification of the wing fuel tanks in the
area of the wheel well which introduces a
dry bay by adding a sealed boundary in front
of the rear spar between ribs 4 and 5.
For the reasons described above, this
[European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)]
AD [2011–0193, dated October 5, 2011]
requires accomplishment of the abovementioned modification for the Right Hand
(RH) and Left Hand (LH) wing fuel tanks.
You may obtain further information by
examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this AD. We
considered the comments received.
Request for Updated Service
Information
Dassault Aviation requested that we
revise the NPRM (77 FR 61539, October
10, 2012) to reference Dassault
Mandatory Service Bulletin F900–388,
Revision 3, dated October 19, 2011. (We
referred to Dassault Mandatory Service
Bulletin F900–388, Revision 2, dated
March 10, 2010, as the appropriate
source of service information for certain
airplanes for accomplishing the
modification specified in paragraph (g)
of the NPRM.)
We agree. Dassault Mandatory Service
Bulletin F900–388, Revision 3, dated
October 19, 2011, clarifies the placard
instructions for certain airplanes. We
have updated the reference in paragraph
(g)(3) of this AD to Dassault Mandatory
Service Bulletin F900–388, Revision 3,
dated October 19, 2011. We have also
added paragraph (h)(3)(iii) to this AD to
allow credit for actions done before the
effective date of this AD using Dassault
Mandatory Service Bulletin F900–388,
Revision 2, dated March 10, 2010.
Tidewater Inc. stated it has already
complied with Dassault Mandatory
Service Bulletin F2000EX–171, dated
July 6, 2009, and requested we take that
into consideration. The commenter
noted that Dassault Mandatory Service
Bulletin F2000EX–171, Revision 3,
dated March 10, 2010, states that
Dassault Mandatory Service Bulletin
F2000EX–171, Revision 1, dated
October 22, 2009; Revision 2, dated
February 15, 2010; and Revision 3,
dated March 10, 2010; are not
applicable to aircraft already modified
as specified in the original service
bulletin.
We agree to clarify. Dassault
Mandatory Service Bulletin F2000EX–
171, Revision 3, dated March 10, 2010,
does specifically state that Revision 3 is
‘‘not applicable to aircraft already
changed per the original issue or
revision 1 or revision 2.’’ Also, as
proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 61539,
October 10, 2012), paragraph (h) of this
AD states that credit is allowed for
actions done before the effective date of
this AD using certain service
information, including Dassault
Mandatory Service Bulletin F2000EX–
171, dated July 6, 2009; Revision 1,
dated October 22, 2009; and Revision 2,
dated February 15, 2010; as specified in
E:\FR\FM\10JYR1.SGM
10JYR1
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 132 / Wednesday, July 10, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
paragraph (h)(5) of this AD. No change
has been made to the AD in this regard.
Conclusion
We reviewed the available data,
including the comments received, and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting the AD
with the changes described previously
and minor editorial changes. We have
determined that these changes:
• Are consistent with the intent that
was proposed in the NPRM (77 FR
61539, October 10, 2012) for correcting
the unsafe condition; and
• Do not add any additional burden
upon the public than was already
proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 61539,
October 10, 2012).
TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD will affect
753 products of U.S. registry. We also
estimate that it will take about 640
work-hours per product to comply with
the basic requirements of this AD. The
average labor rate is $85 per work-hour.
Required parts will cost about $18,500
per product. Where the service
information lists required parts costs
that are covered under warranty, we
have assumed that there will be no
charge for these parts. As we do not
control warranty coverage for affected
parties, some parties may incur costs
higher than estimated here. Based on
these figures, we estimate the cost of
this AD to the U.S. operators to be
$54,893,700, or $72,900 per product.
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 AD will not
have federalism implications under
Executive Order 13132. This AD will
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:22 Jul 09, 2013
Jkt 229001
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 this AD:
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.
We prepared a regulatory evaluation
of the estimated costs to comply with
this AD and placed it in the AD docket.
Examining the AD Docket
You may examine the AD docket on
the Internet at https://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the
Docket Operations office between 9 a.m.
and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal holidays. The AD docket
contains the NPRM (77 FR 61539,
October 10, 2012), the regulatory
evaluation, any comments received, and
other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone

AGENCY:
We are adopting a new
airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Piper Aircraft, Inc. Models PA–46–310P,
PA–46–350P, PA–46R–350T, and PA–
46–500TP airplanes. This AD requires
inspecting the fuel vent valves to
identify if the nitrile parts are installed
and modifying and eventually replacing
the fuel vent valves if the nitrile parts
are installed. This AD was prompted by
nitrile fuel vent valves not providing the
correct ventilation. If not corrected, this
unsafe condition may lead to structural
damage of the wings, which could result
in loss of control. We are issuing this
AD to correct the unsafe condition on
these products.
DATES: This AD is effective July 10,
2013.
The Director of the Federal Register
approved the incorporation by reference
of a certain publication listed in the AD
as of July 10, 2013.
We must receive comments on this
AD by August 26, 2013.

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
DASSAULT AVIATION Model FALCON 2000, FALCON 2000EX, MYSTERE-FALCON 900,
and FALCON 900EX airplanes; and all Model MYSTERE-FALCON 50 airplanes.
This AD was prompted by reports that collapse of the main landing gear
(MLG) could cause wing tank structure failure, which could result in
fuel spillage and consequent fire hazard. This AD requires modification
of the wing fuel tanks in the area of the wheel well. We are issuing
this AD to prevent fuel spillage in the event of a MLG collapse, and
consequent fire hazard.
DATES: This AD becomes effective August 14, 2013.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of August 14,
2013.

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 was published in the Federal Register on October 10, 2012 (77
FR 61539). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information
(MCAI) states:
In service experience has shown that, in case of main landing
gear collapse due to overloads during take off or landing (e.g.,
during high-speed runway excursions), the wing tank structure can
fail, leading to fuel spillage. . . .
This condition, if not corrected, could result, in case of main
landing gear collapse, in a fuel spillage which may constitute a
fire hazard.
To address this unsafe condition, Dassault Aviation have
developed a structural modification of the wing fuel tanks in the
area of the wheel well which introduces a dry bay by adding a sealed
boundary in front of the rear spar between ribs 4 and 5.
For the reasons described above, this [European Aviation Safety
Agency (EASA)] AD [2011-0193, dated October 5, 2011] requires
accomplishment of the above-mentioned modification for the Right
Hand (RH) and Left Hand (LH) wing fuel tanks.
You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comments received.
Request for Updated Service Information
Dassault Aviation requested that we revise the NPRM (77 FR 61539,
October 10, 2012) to reference Dassault Mandatory Service Bulletin
F900-388, Revision 3, dated October 19, 2011. (We referred to Dassault
Mandatory Service Bulletin F900-388, Revision 2, dated March 10, 2010,
as the appropriate source of service information for certain airplanes
for accomplishing the modification specified in paragraph (g) of the
NPRM.)
We agree. Dassault Mandatory Service Bulletin F900-388, Revision 3,
dated October 19, 2011, clarifies the placard instructions for certain
airplanes. We have updated the reference in paragraph (g)(3) of this AD
to Dassault Mandatory Service Bulletin F900-388, Revision 3, dated
October 19, 2011. We have also added paragraph (h)(3)(iii) to this AD
to allow credit for actions done before the effective date of this AD
using Dassault Mandatory Service Bulletin F900-388, Revision 2, dated
March 10, 2010.
Request for Clarification of Credit Service Bulletin
Tidewater Inc. stated it has already complied with Dassault
Mandatory Service Bulletin F2000EX-171, dated July 6, 2009, and
requested we take that into consideration. The commenter noted that
Dassault Mandatory Service Bulletin F2000EX-171, Revision 3, dated
March 10, 2010, states that Dassault Mandatory Service Bulletin
F2000EX-171, Revision 1, dated October 22, 2009; Revision 2, dated
February 15, 2010; and Revision 3, dated March 10, 2010; are not
applicable to aircraft already modified as specified in the original
service bulletin.
We agree to clarify. Dassault Mandatory Service Bulletin F2000EX-
171, Revision 3, dated March 10, 2010, does specifically state that
Revision 3 is ``not applicable to aircraft already changed per the
original issue or revision 1 or revision 2.'' Also, as proposed in the
NPRM (77 FR 61539, October 10, 2012), paragraph (h) of this AD states
that credit is allowed for actions done before the effective date of
this AD using certain service information, including Dassault Mandatory
Service Bulletin F2000EX-171, dated July 6, 2009; Revision 1, dated
October 22, 2009; and Revision 2, dated February 15, 2010; as specified
in
[[Page 41275]]
paragraph (h)(5) of this AD. No change has been made to the AD in this
regard.
Conclusion
We reviewed the available data, including the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these changes:
Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (77 FR 61539, October 10, 2012) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 61539, October 10, 2012).
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD will affect 753 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 640 work-hours per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $18,500 per
product. Where the service information lists required parts costs that
are covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no
charge for these parts. As we do not control warranty coverage for
affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated
here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to the
U.S. operators to be $54,893,700, or $72,900 per product.
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 AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will 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 this AD:
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.
We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.
Examining the AD Docket
You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at https://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM (77 FR 61539, October 10,
2012), the regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and other
information. The street address for the Docket Operations office
(telephone (800) 647-5527) is in the ADDRESSES section.
