this collection of information is estimated to
be approximately 5 minutes per response,
including the time for reviewing instructions,
completing and reviewing the collection of
information. All responses to this collection

ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal.
AGENCY:
The FAA withdraws a notice
of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that
proposed a new airworthiness directive
(AD) for certain The Boeing Company
Model 767 airplanes equipped with
General Electric Model CF6–80C2
engines. The NPRM proposed to require
modifying a relay installation and
associated wiring of the engine cowl
anti-ice system and performing a
functional test of the thrust reverser
system. The NPRM also proposed to
require replacing the operational
program software of certain indicating/
recording systems. Since we issued the
NPRM, we have received new data that
indicate the unsafe condition would not
be adequately addressed by the
proposed action. The manufacturer has
issued new service information to
address the unsafe condition.
Consequently, we issued new
rulemaking action that positively
addresses the unsafe condition
identified in the NPRM, and eliminates
the need for the actions proposed in the
NPRM. Accordingly, the NPRM is
withdrawn.
DATES: As of October 23, 2013, the
proposed rule, which was published in
the Federal Register on May 18, 2005
(70 FR 28489), is withdrawn.
ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD
docket on the Internet at https://

Discussion
We proposed to amend part 39 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR
part 39) with a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) for a new AD for
certain Model 767 series airplanes. The
NPRM published in the Federal
Register on May 18, 2005 (70 FR 28489).
The NPRM proposed to require
modifying a relay installation and
associated wiring of the engine cowl
anti-ice system and performing a
functional test of the thrust reverser
system. The NPRM also proposed to
require replacing the operational
program software of certain indicating/
recording systems. The NPRM was
prompted by numerous operator reports
of failures of the lock flexshaft of the
thrust reverser actuation system (TRAS)
between the upper actuator and the
TRAS lock. We had proposed the AD to
prevent high power in-flight
deployment of a thrust reverser, which
could cause high roll force and
consequent departure from controlled
flight.

Since we issued the NPRM (70 FR

new data that indicate the unsafe
condition would not be adequately
addressed by the proposed action.
Consequently, we issued a new NPRM
(78 FR 3363, January 16, 2013) that
positively addresses the unsafe
condition identified in the NPRM (70
FR 28489, May 18, 2005) and eliminates
the need for the actions proposed in that
NPRM (70 FR 28489, May 18, 2005).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FAA’s Conclusions
We have determined that the unsafe
condition identified in the NPRM (70
FR 28489, May 18, 2005) still exists.
However, the unsafe condition is
addressed in the new NPRM (78 FR
3363, January 16, 2013). Accordingly,
the NPRM (70 FR 28489, May 18, 2005)
is withdrawn.
Withdrawal of the NPRM (70 FR
28489, May 18, 2005) does not preclude
the FAA from issuing the related actions
or commit the FAA to any course of
action in the future.
Regulatory Impact

NPRM (70 FR 28489, May 18, 2005), it

Notice of proposed rulemaking.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard proposes to
modify the operating schedules that
govern the US 90 (Danzinger) Bridge
across the Inner Harbor Navigational
Canal (IHNC), mile 3.1 and the Senator
Ted Hickey (Leon C. Simon Blvd./
Seabrook) bridge across the IHNC, mile
4.6, both at New Orleans, LA. This
proposed change would allow for the
safe navigation of vessels while
reflecting the low volume of vessel
traffic through the bridges thereby
increasing efficiency of operations. The
proposed change would allow the
bridges to operate in a manner that
would align the two operating schedules
so the bridge owner would be able to
use the same bridge crew personnel to
operate both bridges with little to no
effect on navigation through the bridges.
DATES: Comments and related material
must reach the Coast Guard on or before
December 23, 2013.
