asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Issue 28: DOE seeks comment
regarding the typical energy use of
dedicated-purpose pool pumps. If
available, DOE requests that these data
be broken-out by equipment type, hp
(rated nameplate hp or THP), operating
speed, application, and any other
parameters relevant to the pool pump
industry.
Issue 29: A study by CEE 30 estimates
that adopting higher efficiency
technologies, such as multi-speed and
variable-speed pool pumps, may result
in energy savings of 1,900–3,800 kWh/
year for each residential swimming pool
pump. DOE seeks comment on whether
the approach and assumptions
described in that report would be
appropriate to use as a basis for
estimating national energy savings, and
on the accuracy of the estimates
themselves. If so, why? If not, why not?
Issue 30: The pool pump industry
defines ‘‘turnover rate’’ as the total
number of times the entire volume of
water in the pool is circulated (or
‘‘turned over’’) within a 24-hour period.
The industry defines ‘‘turnover time’’ as
the amount of time required to circulate
the entire volume of water in the pool
once. Turnover rate is calculated by
dividing 24 hours by the turnover time
in hours. DOE seeks comment on typical
turnover rates and times, as well as any
variation by application, state, or
climate region.
Issue 31: DOE seeks comment on the
usage profiles of dedicated-purpose pool
pumps broken-out by climate, pool or
pump type (i.e., inground or
aboveground, indoor or outdoor), hp
(rated nameplate hp or THP), and
efficiency. DOE is specifically interested
in hours of use per day at each speed
when multi-speed or variable-speed
pumps are used.
Issue 32: DOE seeks data and
comment on the number of months per
year that dedicated-purpose pool pumps
typically operate, broken-out by state or
climate region.
Issue 33: DOE requests comment on
the typical lifetime of dedicatedpurpose pool pumps.
manufacturers. DOE seeks comment on
the comprehensiveness of this list of
manufacturers, and requests the names
and contact information of any other
domestically- or foreign-based
manufacturers that sell or otherwise
market their dedicated-purpose pool
pumps in the United States.
Issue 35: DOE seeks to identify all
dedicated-purpose pool pump
manufacturers that currently distribute
equipment in the United States who
also qualify as small businesses. The
Small Business Administration (SBA)
defines a small business under North
American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) code 333911, ‘‘Pump
and Pumping Equipment
Manufacturing,’’ as one having no more
than 500 employees.31 DOE requests the
names of any small business
manufacturers of dedicated-purpose
pool pumps that it should consider in
its analysis.

AGENCY:
We propose to supersede
Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2011–21–
06 for all BAE SYSTEMS (Operations)
Limited Model 4101 airplanes. AD
2011–21–06 currently requires revising
the maintenance program. Since we
issued AD 2011–21–06, we have
determined that the life limit of certain
main landing gear components must be
reduced, and certain post-repair
inspections of critical structure are
necessary. This proposed AD would
require a new revision of the
maintenance/inspection program. We
are proposing this AD to prevent failure
of certain structurally significant items,

Discussion
On September 23, 2011, we issued AD
2011–21–06, Amendment 39–16829 (76
FR 64788, October 19, 2011). AD 2011–
21–06 requires actions intended to
address an unsafe condition on BAE
SYSTEMS (Operations) Limited Model
4101 airplanes.
Since we issued AD 2011–21–06,
Amendment 39–16829 (76 FR 64788,
October 19, 2011), we have determined
that the life limit of certain main
landing gear components must be
reduced, and new inspections of certain
repairs that affect fatigue strength of
critical structure must be added to the
maintenance/inspection program.
The European Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA), which is the Technical Agent
for the Member States of the European
Union, has issued EASA Airworthiness
Directive 2014–0043, dated February 21,
2014 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness
Information, or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct
an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states:
The Jetstream J41 Aircraft Maintenance
Manual (AMM), includes the following
chapters:
05–10–10 ‘‘Airworthiness Limitations’’,
05–10–20 ‘‘Certification Maintenance
Requirements’’, and,
05–10–30 ‘‘Critical Design Configuration
Control Limitations (CDCCL)—Fuel System’’.
The maintenance tasks and limitations
contained in these chapters have been
identified as mandatory actions for continued
airworthiness and EASA issued AD 2010–
0098 [dated May 27, 2010 (https://
ad.easa.europa.eu/ad/2010-0098) which
corresponds to FAA AD 2011–21–06,
Amendment 39–16829 (79 FR 64788, October
19, 2011)] to require operators to comply
with those instructions.

Since that [EASA] AD was issued, BAE
Systems (Operations) Ltd issued Revision 37
of the AMM amending Chapter 05–10–10 to
revise and reduce the life limit of certain
main landing gear components. In addition,
Revision 38 of the AMM was issued to
amend Chapters 05–10–00 and 05–10–10
introducing inspections to be accomplished
after implementation of some repairs
affecting fatigue strength of critical structure.
Failure to comply with the new and more
restrictive actions could result in an unsafe
condition.
For the reasons described above, this
[EASA] AD, which supersedes EASA AD
2010–0098, requires implementation of the
maintenance requirements and/or
airworthiness limitations as specified in the
defined parts of Chapter 05 of the AMM at
Revision 38.
The unsafe condition is the failure of
certain structurally significant items,
including the main landing gear and
nose landing gear, which could result in
reduced structural integrity of the
airplane; and fuel vapor ignition
sources, which could result in a fuel
tank explosion and consequent loss of
the airplane. You may examine the
MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet
at https://www.regulations.gov by

Related Service Information Under 1
CFR Part 51
BAE SYSTEMS (Operations) Limited
has issued Subjects 05–10–10,
‘‘Airworthiness Limitations’’; 05–10–20,
‘‘Certification Maintenance
Requirements’’; and 05–10–30, ‘‘Critical
Design Configuration Control
Limitations (CDCCL)—Fuel System’’; of
Chapter 05, ‘‘Airworthiness
Limitations,’’ of the BAE Systems
(Operations) Limited J41 AMM,
Revision 38, dated September 15, 2013,
which describe procedures for
inspections of structurally significant
items and the fuel system. The actions
described in this service information are
intended to correct the unsafe condition
identified in the MCAI. This service
information is reasonably available
because the interested parties have
access to it through their normal course
of business or by the means identified
in the ADDRESSES section of this NPRM.
FAA’s Determination and Requirements
of This Proposed AD
This product has been approved by
the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation
in the United States. Pursuant to our
bilateral agreement with the State of
Design Authority, we have been notified
of the unsafe condition described in the
MCAI and service information
referenced above. We are proposing this
AD because we evaluated all pertinent

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 89 / Friday, May 8, 2015 / Proposed Rules
information and determined an unsafe
condition exists and is likely to exist or
develop on other products of the same
type design.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this proposed AD
affects 4 airplanes of U.S. registry.
The actions required by AD 2011–21–
06, Amendment 39–16829 (76 FR
64788, October 19, 2011), and retained
in this proposed AD take about 1 workhour per product, at an average labor
rate of $85 per work-hour. Based on
these figures, the estimated cost of the
actions that are required by AD 2011–
21–06 is $85 per product.
We also estimate that it would take
about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the basic requirements of
this proposed AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on
these figures, we estimate the cost of
this proposed AD on U.S. operators to
be $340, or $85 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 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 this 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);
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:19 May 07, 2015
Jkt 235001
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.

The Proposed Amendment
Accordingly, under the authority
delegated to me by the Administrator,
the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part
39 as follows:
PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS
DIRECTIVES
1. The authority citation for part 39
continues to read as follows:
■
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

America Code 05.
(e) Reason
This AD was prompted by the need to
reduce the life limit of certain main landing
gear components, and to add certain postrepair inspections of critical structure to the
maintenance/inspection program. We are
issuing this AD to prevent failure of certain
structurally significant items, including the
main landing gear and nose landing gear,
which could result in reduced structural
integrity of the airplane; and to prevent fuel
vapor ignition sources, which could result in
a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of
the airplane.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2011-21-
06 for all BAE SYSTEMS (Operations) Limited Model 4101 airplanes. AD
2011-21-06 currently requires revising the maintenance program. Since
we issued AD 2011-21-06, we have determined that the life limit of
certain main landing gear components must be reduced, and certain post-
repair inspections of critical structure are necessary. This proposed
AD would require a new revision of the maintenance/inspection program.
We are proposing this AD to prevent failure of certain structurally
significant items,
[[Page 26485]]
including the main landing gear and nose landing gear, which could
result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane; and to prevent
fuel vapor ignition sources, which could result in a fuel tank
explosion and consequent loss of the airplane.

Discussion
On September 23, 2011, we issued AD 2011-21-06, Amendment 39-16829
(76 FR 64788, October 19, 2011). AD 2011-21-06 requires actions
intended to address an unsafe condition on BAE SYSTEMS (Operations)
Limited Model 4101 airplanes.
Since we issued AD 2011-21-06, Amendment 39-16829 (76 FR 64788,
October 19, 2011), we have determined that the life limit of certain
main landing gear components must be reduced, and new inspections of
certain repairs that affect fatigue strength of critical structure must
be added to the maintenance/inspection program.
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2014-0043, dated February 21, 2014 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states:
The Jetstream J41 Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM), includes
the following chapters:
05-10-10 ``Airworthiness Limitations'',
05-10-20 ``Certification Maintenance Requirements'', and,
05-10-30 ``Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations
(CDCCL)--Fuel System''.
The maintenance tasks and limitations contained in these
chapters have been identified as mandatory actions for continued
airworthiness and EASA issued AD 2010-0098 [dated May 27, 2010
(https://ad.easa.europa.eu/ad/2010-0098) which corresponds to FAA AD
2011-21-06, Amendment 39-16829 (79 FR 64788, October 19, 2011)] to
require operators to comply with those instructions.
Since that [EASA] AD was issued, BAE Systems (Operations) Ltd
issued Revision 37 of the AMM amending Chapter 05-10-10 to revise
and reduce the life limit of certain main landing gear components.
In addition, Revision 38 of the AMM was issued to amend Chapters 05-
10-00 and 05-10-10 introducing inspections to be accomplished after
implementation of some repairs affecting fatigue strength of
critical structure. Failure to comply with the new and more
restrictive actions could result in an unsafe condition.
For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD, which
supersedes EASA AD 2010-0098, requires implementation of the
maintenance requirements and/or airworthiness limitations as
specified in the defined parts of Chapter 05 of the AMM at Revision
38.
The unsafe condition is the failure of certain structurally
significant items, including the main landing gear and nose landing
gear, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the
airplane; and fuel vapor ignition sources, which could result in a fuel
tank explosion and consequent loss of the airplane. You may examine the
MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at https://www.regulations.gov by
searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2015-1279.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
BAE SYSTEMS (Operations) Limited has issued Subjects 05-10-10,
``Airworthiness Limitations''; 05-10-20, ``Certification Maintenance
Requirements''; and 05-10-30, ``Critical Design Configuration Control
Limitations (CDCCL)--Fuel System''; of Chapter 05, ``Airworthiness
Limitations,'' of the BAE Systems (Operations) Limited J41 AMM,
Revision 38, dated September 15, 2013, which describe procedures for
inspections of structurally significant items and the fuel system. The
actions described in this service information are intended to correct
the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI. This service information
is reasonably available because the interested parties have access to
it through their normal course of business or by the means identified
in the ADDRESSES section of this NPRM.
FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD
This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent
[[Page 26486]]
information and determined an unsafe condition exists and is likely to
exist or develop on other products of the same type design.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this proposed AD affects 4 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
The actions required by AD 2011-21-06, Amendment 39-16829 (76 FR
64788, October 19, 2011), and retained in this proposed AD take about 1
work-hour per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per work-hour.
Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the actions that are
required by AD 2011-21-06 is $85 per product.
We also estimate that it would take about 1 work-hour per product
to comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate
the cost of this proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $340, or $85 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 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 this 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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39
Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.
The Proposed Amendment
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:
