Airworthiness Directives; Meggitt
(Troy), Inc. Combustion Heaters
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM).
AGENCY:
We propose to supersede
Airworthiness Directive (AD) 81–09–09,
which applies to certain Meggitt (Troy),
Inc. (previously known as Stewart
Warner South Wind Corporation and as
Stewart Warner South Wind Division)
Model Series 8240 (Models 8240–A,
8240–C, 8240E, and 8248), 8253
(Models 8253–A, 8253–B, and 8253–C),
8259 (Models 8259–A, 8259–C, 8259–
DL, 8259HL2, 8259HR2, 8259JR2,
8259L, and 8259M), and 8472 (Models
8472C and 8472D) combustion heaters.
AD 81–09–09 currently requires
repetitive inspections of the combustion
heater; repetitive general inspections of
the combustion heater installation; and,
for combustion heaters having 1,000
hours or more time-in-service (TIS),
overhaul of the combustion heater.
Since we issued AD 81–09–09, there
was an airplane accident, and we
received reports of the heater
malfunction. This proposed AD would
retain most actions from AD 81–09–09,
add a calendar time to the repetitive
inspections, and add more detailed
actions for the general inspection. We
are proposing this AD to correct the
unsafe condition on these products.
DATES: We must receive comments on
this proposed AD by October 6, 2014.
ADDRESSES: You may send comments,
using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following
methods:

Discussion
On April 16, 1981, we issued AD 81–
09–09, Amendment 39–4102 (46 FR
24936, May 4, 1981) (‘‘AD 81–09–09’’),
for certain Meggitt (Troy), Inc.
(previously known as Stewart Warner
South Wind Corporation and as Stewart
Warner South Wind Division) Model
Series 8240 (Models 8240–A, 8240–C,
8240E, and 8248), 8253 (Models 8253–
A, 8253–B, and 8253–C), 8259 (Models
8259–A, 8259–C, 8259–DL, 8259HL2,
8259HR2, 8259JR2, 8259L, and 8259M),
and 8472 (Models 8472C and 8472D)
combustion heaters marked as meeting
the standards of FAA TSO–C20. AD 81–
09–09 requires repetitive inspection of
the combustion heater and inspection of
the installation of the combustion
heater. AD 81–09–09 resulted from a
hazardous condition caused by
deterioration of the combustion heater.
We issued AD 81–09–09 to detect and
correct a hazardous condition caused by
deterioration of the combustion heater,
which could lead to ignition of
components and result in smoke and
fumes in the cabin.
Actions Since AD 81–09–09 Was Issued
Since we issued AD 81–09–09,
Amendment 39–4102 (46 FR 24936,
May 4, 1981), we received a report of an
airplane accident that resulted in four
fatalities and one serious injury. Only
the survivor of the accident provided a
written statement of the accident. She
reported that when the pilot turned on
the heater, a ‘‘terrible smell’’ was
detected. The pilot told the passengers
that the smell was normal for some
heaters. When the pilot turned the
heater off, dark, black smoke began to
enter the airplane, which made it
difficult to see. In a flight prior to the
accident flight, the heater’s overheat
light illuminated when the heater was
E:\FR\FM\20AUP1.SGM
20AUP1
49250
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 161 / Wednesday, August 20, 2014 / Proposed Rules
turned on. The airplane maintenance
records indicated a previous problem
with the heater.
Regardless of whether the heater
played a part in the above-referenced
accident, this condition of deteriorated
ignition components and smoke and
fumes in the cabin could lead to
passenger injury on other airplanes
incorporating such heaters if not
inspected and corrected.
Since the accident, Meggitt, Inc.
issued new service information for
doing a pressure decay test (PDT). It was
also identified that the repetitive
inspections for the combustion heater
required only time-in-service
inspections and did not include a
calendar time compliance.
Relevant Service Information
We reviewed:
• Stewart-Warner South Wind

• South Wind Division StewartWarner Corporation Service Manual
South Wind Aircraft Heater 8472 Series,
Form No. 09–1015, issued: April 1975;
and
• Meggitt Inspection Procedure,
Pressure Decay Test, Aircraft Heaters,
dated May 17, 2014.
The service information describes
procedures for inspection of the
combustion heater, inspection of the
installation of the combustion heater,
and the pressure decay test for aircraft
heaters.
FAA’s Determination
We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all the relevant information
and determined the unsafe condition
described previously is likely to exist or
develop in other products of the same
type design.
Proposed AD Requirements
This proposed AD would retain
certain requirements of AD 81–09–09.
This proposed AD would continue
requiring the inspection of the
combustion heater; however, the repair
of the combustion tube would be
prohibited. This proposed AD would
also require a repetitive combustion
heater pressure decay test and a more
detailed inspection of the combustion
heater and components.
Change to AD 81–09–09
Since AD 81–09–09 was issued, the
AD format has been revised, and certain
paragraphs have been rearranged. As a
result, the corresponding paragraph
identifiers have been redesignated in
this proposed AD, as listed in the
following table:

Differences Between This Proposed AD
and the Service Information
The proposed AD would prohibit
repair of any defective combustion tube
while the service information does not
specify this.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this proposed AD
affects 6,000 combustion heaters
installed on, but not limited to, Piper
Aircraft, Inc. and Cessna Aircraft
Company airplanes of U.S. registry.
We estimate the following costs to
comply with this proposed AD:

Authority for This Rulemaking
Title 49 of the United States Code
specifies the FAA’s authority to issue
rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I,
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:21 Aug 19, 2014
Jkt 232001
Section 106, describes the authority of
the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more
detail the scope of the Agency’s
authority.
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
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
E:\FR\FM\20AUP1.SGM
20AUP1
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 161 / Wednesday, August 20, 2014 / Proposed Rules
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 have 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 above, I
certify that the 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, 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.

Hazardous Waste Management
System; Identification and Listing of
Hazardous Waste; Proposed Exclusion
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule and request for
comment.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA, also, ‘‘the Agency’’ or
‘‘we’’) is proposing to grant a petition
submitted by the John Deere Des Moines
Works (John Deere) of Deere &
Company, in Ankeny, Iowa to exclude
or ‘‘delist’’ up to 600 tons per calendar
year of F006/F019 wastewater treatment
sludge filter cake generated by John
Deere’s wastewater treatment system
from the list of hazardous wastes.
The Agency has tentatively decided to
grant the petition based on an
evaluation of waste-specific information
provided by John Deere. This proposed
decision, if finalized, would
conditionally exclude the petitioned
waste from the requirements of
hazardous waste regulations under the
Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA).
This exclusion would be valid only
when the wastewater treatment sludge
filter cake is disposed of in a Subtitle D
landfill which is permitted, licensed, or
otherwise authorized by a State to
manage industrial solid waste.
If finalized, EPA would conclude that
John Deere’s petitioned waste is
nonhazardous with respect to the
original listing criteria and that there are
no other current factors which would
cause the waste to be hazardous.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before September 19, 2014. EPA will
stamp comments received after the close
of the comment period as late. These
late comments may not be considered in
formulating a final decision. Any person
may request a hearing on the proposed
decision by filing a request to EPA by
September 4, 2014. The request must
contain the information prescribed in 40
CFR 260.20(d).

Airworthiness Directives; Meggitt (Troy), Inc. Combustion Heaters
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 81-09-09,
which applies to certain Meggitt (Troy), Inc. (previously known as
Stewart Warner South Wind Corporation and as Stewart Warner South Wind
Division) Model Series 8240 (Models 8240-A, 8240-C, 8240E, and 8248),
8253 (Models 8253-A, 8253-B, and 8253-C), 8259 (Models 8259-A, 8259-C,
8259-DL, 8259HL2, 8259HR2, 8259JR2, 8259L, and 8259M), and 8472 (Models
8472C and 8472D) combustion heaters. AD 81-09-09 currently requires
repetitive inspections of the combustion heater; repetitive general
inspections of the combustion heater installation; and, for combustion
heaters having 1,000 hours or more time-in-service (TIS), overhaul of
the combustion heater. Since we issued AD 81-09-09, there was an
airplane accident, and we received reports of the heater malfunction.
This proposed AD would retain most actions from AD 81-09-09, add a
calendar time to the repetitive inspections, and add more detailed
actions for the general inspection. We are proposing this AD to correct
the unsafe condition on these products.
DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by October 6, 2014.
ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR

Discussion
On April 16, 1981, we issued AD 81-09-09, Amendment 39-4102 (46 FR
24936, May 4, 1981) (``AD 81-09-09''), for certain Meggitt (Troy), Inc.
(previously known as Stewart Warner South Wind Corporation and as
Stewart Warner South Wind Division) Model Series 8240 (Models 8240-A,
8240-C, 8240E, and 8248), 8253 (Models 8253-A, 8253-B, and 8253-C),
8259 (Models 8259-A, 8259-C, 8259-DL, 8259HL2, 8259HR2, 8259JR2, 8259L,
and 8259M), and 8472 (Models 8472C and 8472D) combustion heaters marked
as meeting the standards of FAA TSO-C20. AD 81-09-09 requires
repetitive inspection of the combustion heater and inspection of the
installation of the combustion heater. AD 81-09-09 resulted from a
hazardous condition caused by deterioration of the combustion heater.
We issued AD 81-09-09 to detect and correct a hazardous condition
caused by deterioration of the combustion heater, which could lead to
ignition of components and result in smoke and fumes in the cabin.
Actions Since AD 81-09-09 Was Issued
Since we issued AD 81-09-09, Amendment 39-4102 (46 FR 24936, May 4,
1981), we received a report of an airplane accident that resulted in
four fatalities and one serious injury. Only the survivor of the
accident provided a written statement of the accident. She reported
that when the pilot turned on the heater, a ``terrible smell'' was
detected. The pilot told the passengers that the smell was normal for
some heaters. When the pilot turned the heater off, dark, black smoke
began to enter the airplane, which made it difficult to see. In a
flight prior to the accident flight, the heater's overheat light
illuminated when the heater was
[[Page 49250]]
turned on. The airplane maintenance records indicated a previous
problem with the heater.
Regardless of whether the heater played a part in the above-
referenced accident, this condition of deteriorated ignition components
and smoke and fumes in the cabin could lead to passenger injury on
other airplanes incorporating such heaters if not inspected and
corrected.
Since the accident, Meggitt, Inc. issued new service information
for doing a pressure decay test (PDT). It was also identified that the
repetitive inspections for the combustion heater required only time-in-
service inspections and did not include a calendar time compliance.

issued: April 1975; and
Meggitt Inspection Procedure, Pressure Decay Test,
Aircraft Heaters, dated May 17, 2014.
The service information describes procedures for inspection of the
combustion heater, inspection of the installation of the combustion
heater, and the pressure decay test for aircraft heaters.
FAA's Determination
We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.
Proposed AD Requirements
This proposed AD would retain certain requirements of AD 81-09-09.
This proposed AD would continue requiring the inspection of the
combustion heater; however, the repair of the combustion tube would be
prohibited. This proposed AD would also require a repetitive combustion
heater pressure decay test and a more detailed inspection of the
combustion heater and components.
Change to AD 81-09-09
Since AD 81-09-09 was issued, the AD format has been revised, and
certain paragraphs have been rearranged. As a result, the corresponding
paragraph identifiers have been redesignated in this proposed AD, as
listed in the following table:
Revised Paragraph Identifiers
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corresponding requirement in
Requirement in AD 81-09-09 this proposed AD
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paragraph (a).......................... Paragraph (g).
Paragraph (b).......................... Paragraph (j).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Differences Between This Proposed AD and the Service Information
The proposed AD would prohibit repair of any defective combustion
tube while the service information does not specify this.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this proposed AD affects 6,000 combustion heaters
installed on, but not limited to, Piper Aircraft, Inc. and Cessna
Aircraft Company airplanes of U.S. registry.
We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:
Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost on
Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per U.S.
product operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perform pressure decay test......... 2 work-hours x $85 per Not Applicable......... $170 $1,020,000

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We estimate the following costs to do any necessary combustion
heater overhaul/disable/related replacement that would be required
based on the results of the proposed inspection/test. We have no way of
determining the number of aircraft that might need a combustion heater
overhaul/disable/related replacement:
On-Condition Costs

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
[[Page 49251]]
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 have 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 above, I certify that the 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, 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.
