SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC
published a final rule in the Federal
Register on June 7, 2013 (78 FR 34245),
to make miscellaneous corrections to its
regulations in chapter I of Title 10 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR).
These changes included revising the
name of its human capital office,
correcting and adding missing crossreferences, correcting grammatical
errors, revising language for clarity and
consistency, and specifying metric
units. The final rule inadvertently
included additional errors in grammar
and punctuation in 10 CFR 40.36(e)(2),
appendix G to 10 CFR part 50, 10 CFR
52.17(b)(2)(ii), and 10 CFR 70.25; and
referencing in 10 CFR 52.17(b)(2)(i) and
10 CFR 52.18(f)(2). This document
corrects the final rule by revising the
sections that contain these errors.
by the NRC. Also, the final rule does not
change the substantive responsibilities
of any person or entity regulated by the
NRC. Furthermore, for the reasons
stated above, the NRC finds, pursuant to
5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), that good cause
exists to make this rule effective upon
publication of this notice.
Rulemaking Procedure
Under the Administrative Procedure
Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)), an agency may
waive the normal notice and comment
requirements if it finds, for good cause,
that they are impracticable,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest. As authorized by 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(3)(B), the NRC finds good cause
to waive notice and opportunity for
comment on these amendments because
they will have no substantive impact
and are of a minor and administrative
nature dealing with corrections to
certain CFR sections related only to
management, organization, procedure,
and practice. Specifically, these
amendments are to correct grammatical
errors and to revise cross-references to
comply with the Office of the Federal
Register’s Document Drafting Handbook.
These amendments do not require
action by any person or entity regulated
10 CFR Part 70
Criminal penalties, Hazardous
materials transportation, Material
control and accounting, Nuclear
materials, Packaging and containers,
Radiation protection, Reporting and
recordkeeping requirements, Scientific

For the reasons set out in the
preamble and under the authority of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended;
the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974,
as amended; and 5 U.S.C. 552 and 553,
the NRC is adopting the following

ACTION: Final special condition; request

AGENCY:
These special conditions are
issued for the Cessna Model 750 Series
airplanes. These airplanes will have a
novel or unusual design feature
associated with the architecture and
connectivity capabilities of the
airplanes’ computer systems and
networks. Connectivity to, or access by,
external systems and networks may
result in security vulnerabilities to the
airplanes’ systems.
DATES: The effective date of these
special conditions is December 12,
2013. We must receive your comments
by January 27, 2014.
ADDRESSES: Send comments identified
by docket number [FAA–2013–XXXX]

Avenue SW., Renton, Washington
98057–3356; telephone 425–227–1298;
facsimile 425–227–1149.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
proposed network architecture includes
the following connectivity between
systems:
1. Airplane control, communication,
display, monitoring and navigation
systems,
2. Operator business and
administrative support systems, and
3. Passenger entertainment systems,
and access by systems external to the
airplane.
The applicable airworthiness
regulations do not contain adequate or
appropriate safety standards for this
design feature. These special conditions
contain the additional safety standards
that the Administrator considers
necessary to establish a level of safety
equivalent to that established by the
existing airworthiness standards.
The FAA has determined that notice
of, and opportunity for prior public
comment on, these special conditions
are impracticable because these
procedures would significantly delay
issuance of the design approval and
thus delivery of the affected aircraft.
The FAA has also determined that
notice of these special conditions is
unnecessary because the substance of
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4700

these special conditions has been
subject to the public comment process
in several prior instances with no
substantive comments received. The
FAA therefore finds that good cause
exists for making these special
conditions effective upon publication in
the Federal Register.
Comments Invited
We invite interested people to take
part in this rulemaking by sending
written comments, data, or views. The
most helpful comments reference a
specific portion of the special
conditions, explain the reason for any
recommended change, and include
supporting data.
We will consider all comments we
receive by the closing date for
comments. We may change these special
conditions based on the comments we
receive.
Background
On September 10, 2010, Cessna
Aircraft Company applied for an
amendment to the Model 750 Type
Certificate No. T00007WI.
The Model 750 is a twin-engine
pressurized executive jet airplane with
standard seating provisions for 14
passenger/crew. This airplane will have
a maximum takeoff weight of 36,600
pounds with a wingspan of 69.2 feet, a
maximum operating altitude of 51,000
feet, and will have two aft-mounted
Rolls-Royce AE3007C2 engines.
The proposed Cessna Model 750
avionics architecture is novel or
unusual for executive jet airplanes by
allowing connection to airplane
electronic systems and networks, and
access from aircraft external sources
(e.g., wireless devices, Internet
connectivity) to the previously isolated
airplane electronic assets. Cessna’s
proposed design is considered by the
FAA to be an architecture which
introduces potential security risks and
vulnerabilities not addressed in current
regulations and aircraft-level or systemlevel safety assessment methods.
Consequently, this special condition has
been produced to address security and
safety issues arising from the use of this
type of architecture, and foreseeable
flight and maintenance applications
impacted by these interconnected data
networks and the addition of external
access points.
Type Certification Basis
Under Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) 21.17, Cessna
must show that the Model 750 series
meets the applicable provisions of 14
CFR part 25, as amended by
Amendments 25–1 through 25–128. The

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC published a final rule in the
Federal Register on June 7, 2013 (78 FR 34245), to make miscellaneous
corrections to its regulations in chapter I of Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR). These changes included revising the name
of its human capital office, correcting and adding missing cross-
references, correcting grammatical errors, revising language for
clarity and consistency, and specifying metric units. The final rule
inadvertently included additional errors in grammar and punctuation in
10 CFR 40.36(e)(2), appendix G to 10 CFR part 50, 10 CFR
52.17(b)(2)(ii), and 10 CFR 70.25; and referencing in 10 CFR
52.17(b)(2)(i) and 10 CFR 52.18(f)(2). This document corrects the final
rule by revising the sections that contain these errors.
Rulemaking Procedure
Under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)), an agency
may waive the normal notice and comment requirements if it finds, for
good cause, that they are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to
the public interest. As authorized by 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), the NRC
finds good cause to waive notice and opportunity for comment on these
amendments because they will have no substantive impact and are of a
minor and administrative nature dealing with corrections to certain CFR
sections related only to management, organization, procedure, and
practice. Specifically, these amendments are to correct grammatical
errors and to revise cross-references to comply with the Office of the
Federal Register's Document Drafting Handbook. These amendments do not
require action by any person or entity regulated by the NRC. Also, the
final rule does not change the substantive responsibilities of any
person or entity regulated by the NRC. Furthermore, for the reasons
stated above, the NRC finds, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), that good
cause exists to make this rule effective upon publication of this
notice.
