E:\FR\FM\13JNR1.SGM 13JNR1 38068 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 113 / Monday, June 13, 2016 / Rules and Regulations If the Administrator finds that the applicable airworthiness regulations (i.e., 14 CFR part 31) do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for balloon models F–18, H–56, H–65, H–77, M–56, M–56C, M–65, M–65C, M– 77, M–77C, M–90, M–105, M–120, M– 130, M–145, M–160, N–180, N–210, N– 250, N–300, N–355, N–425, S–70, S–90, S–105, S–130, S–160, T–150, T–180, T– 210, V–56, V–65, V–77, V–90, V–105, and Z–90 because of a novel or unusual design feature, special conditions are prescribed under the provisions of § 21.16. Special conditions are initially applicable to the model for which they are issued. Should the type certificate for that model be amended later to include any other model that incorporates the same or similar novel or unusual design feature, or should any other model already included on the same type certificate be modified to incorporate the same or similar novel or unusual design feature, the special conditions would also apply to the other model under § 21.101. The FAA issues special conditions, as defined in 14 CFR 11.19, in accordance with § 11.38, and they become part of the typecertification basis under § 21.101. Novel or Unusual Design Features The Model Numbers F–18, H–56, H– 65, H–77, M–56, M–56C, M–65, M–65C, M–77, M–77C, M–90, M–105, M–120, M–130, M–145, M–160, N–180, N–210, N–250, N–300, N–355, N–425, S–70, S– 90, S–105, S–130, S–160, T–150, T–180, T–210, V–56, V–65, V–77, V–90, V–105, and Z–90 balloons will incorporate the following novel and unusual design feature: The oxygen augmentation and hydraulic control. Discussion Based on the provisions of §§ 21.17 and 21.29 and the U.S.-EASA Technical Implementation Procedures for Airworthiness and Environmental Certification Between the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States of America and the European Aviation Safety Agency of the European Union, the following airworthiness requirements are applicable to this project and will remain active for three years from the date of application and form the Certification Basis: a. Part 31, amendment 7 (The certification basis complied with according to the Ultramagic part 31 compliance checklist.). b. ELOS Findings: The FAA notes that it has issued equivalent level of safety findings per provision of 14 CFR 21.21(b)(1), specifically ACE–08–15 3 on August 1, 2008, Burners, § 31.47(d) and then extended the ELOS as ACE–08– 15A 4 on November 05, 2013, Burners, § 31.47(d), for the Model S–70. This ELOS has not been applied to the MK– 32 and therefore not applicable. 3. Special conditions: The FAA notes that Ultramagic elected to comply with certain provisions of CS–23, amendment 3, that apply to oxygen systems. These provisions are applicable because there is an oxygen augmented igniter system available for the MK–32 burner. The following 14 CFR regulations, except § 23.1445, are harmonized with their CS–23, amendment 3, counterpart regulations and form the basis of this special condition. Section Title Paragraph § 23.1445 ................ § 23.1451 ................ § 23.1453 ................ Oxygen distribution system .................................................................................... Fire protection for oxygen equipment .....................................................................

The oxygen system is not utilized for breathing; hence, this Significant Standard Difference (SSD) does not apply. In addition, the FAA notes that Ultramagic offers an optional hydraulic kit. This kit is a hydraulic system that actuates the burners’ fuel valve. Since part 31 does not have provisions for hydraulic systems, § 23.1435, Hydraulic systems, will provide the basis for the hydraulic system special conditions contained herein. No SSD is associated with this regulation. Applicability Discussion of Comments Notice of proposed special conditions No. 31–16–01–SC for the Ultramagic, S.A., MK–32 Burner Series was published in the Federal Register on April 5, 2016 (81 FR 19502). No comments were received, and the special conditions are adopted as proposed. As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to the Model Numbers F–18, H–56, H–65, H–77, M– 56, M–56C, M–65, M–65C, M–77, M– 77C, M–90, M–105, M–120, M–130, M– 145, M–160, N–180, N–210, N–250, N– 300, N–355, N–425, S–70, S–90, S–105, S–130, S–160, T–150, T–180, T–210, V– 56, V–65, V–77, V–90, V–105, and Z–90 balloons. Should Ultramagic, S.A. apply at a later date for a change to the type certificate to include another model incorporating the same novel or unusual design feature, the special conditions would apply to that model as well. Under standard practice, the effective date of final special conditions would be 30 days after the date of publication in the Federal Register; however, as the certification date for the Ultramagic, S.A., Model Numbers F–18, H–56, H– 65, H–77, M–56, M–56C, M–65, M–65C, M–77, M–77C, M–90, M–105, M–120, M–130, M–145, M–160, N–180, N–210, N–250, N–300, N–355, N–425, S–70, S– 3 https://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_ Library/rgELOS.nsf/0/BE4DB369A87F7A7A8625 7C210072E48A?OpenDocument&Highlight=ace-0815. 16:33 Jun 10, 2016 Jkt 238001 PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 23–62 23–49 23–49 90, S–105, S–130, S–160, T–150, T–180, T–210, V–56, V–65, V–77, V–90, V–105, and Z–90 balloons is imminent, the FAA finds that good cause exists to make these special conditions effective upon issuance. 4 https://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_ Library/rgELOS.nsf/0/BE4DB369A87F7A 7A86257C210072E48A?OpenDocument&Highlight= ace-08-15.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On September 21, 2014, Ultramagic, S.A. (Ultramagic) applied for a
change to Type Certificate No. B02CE to incorporate the new Mark-32
(MK-32) Burner series in balloon models F-18, H-56, H-65, H-77, M-56,
M-56C, M-65, M-65C, M-77, M-77C, M-90, M-105, M-120, M-130, M-145, M-

130, S-160, T-150, T-180, T-210, V-56, V-65, V-77, V-90, V-105, and Z-
90. The MK-32 Burner series is a derivative of the MK-10 Burner series,
which are currently approved under TCDS B02CE. The MK-32 burner does
introduce a particular novel aspect in terms of operation and
performance--the primary modification being an oxygen augmented igniter
system.

Type Certification Basis

Under the provisions of Sec. 21.101, Ultramagic must show that the
balloon models F-18, H-56, H-65, H-77, M-56, M-56C, M-65, M-65C, M-77,

appropriate safety standards for balloon models F-18, H-56, H-65, H-77,
M-56, M-56C, M-65, M-65C, M-77, M-77C, M-90, M-105, M-120, M-130, M-
145, M-160, N-180, N-210, N-250, N-300, N-355, N-425, S-70, S-90, S-
105, S-130, S-160, T-150, T-180, T-210, V-56, V-65, V-77, V-90, V-105,
and Z-90 because of a novel or unusual design feature, special
conditions are prescribed under the provisions of Sec. 21.16.
Special conditions are initially applicable to the model for which
they are issued. Should the type certificate for that model be amended
later to include any other model that incorporates the same or similar
novel or unusual design feature, or should any other model already
included on the same type certificate be modified to incorporate the
same or similar novel or unusual design feature, the special conditions
would also apply to the other model under Sec. 21.101. The FAA issues
special conditions, as defined in 14 CFR 11.19, in accordance with
Sec. 11.38, and they become part of the type-certification basis under
Sec. 21.101.

Novel or Unusual Design Features

The Model Numbers F-18, H-56, H-65, H-77, M-56, M-56C, M-65, M-65C,
M-77, M-77C, M-90, M-105, M-120, M-130, M-145, M-160, N-180, N-210, N-
250, N-300, N-355, N-425, S-70, S-90, S-105, S-130, S-160, T-150, T-
180, T-210, V-56, V-65, V-77, V-90, V-105, and Z-90 balloons will
incorporate the following novel and unusual design feature:
The oxygen augmentation and hydraulic control.

Discussion

Based on the provisions of Sec. Sec. 21.17 and 21.29 and the U.S.-
EASA Technical Implementation Procedures for Airworthiness and
Environmental Certification Between the Federal Aviation Administration
of the United States of America and the European Aviation Safety Agency
of the European Union, the following airworthiness requirements are
applicable to this project and will remain active for three years from
the date of application and form the Certification Basis:
a. Part 31, amendment 7 (The certification basis complied with
according to the Ultramagic part 31 compliance checklist.).
b. ELOS Findings: The FAA notes that it has issued equivalent level
of safety findings per provision of 14 CFR 21.21(b)(1), specifically
ACE-08-15 \3\ on August 1, 2008, Burners, Sec. 31.47(d) and then
extended the ELOS as ACE-08-15A \4\ on November 05, 2013, Burners,
Sec. 31.47(d), for the Model S-70. This ELOS has not been applied to
the MK-32 and therefore not applicable.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Special conditions: The FAA notes that Ultramagic elected to
comply with certain provisions of CS-23, amendment 3, that apply to
oxygen systems. These provisions are applicable because there is an
oxygen augmented igniter system available for the MK-32 burner. The
following 14 CFR regulations, except Sec. 23.1445, are harmonized with
their CS-23, amendment 3, counterpart regulations and form the basis of
this special condition.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section Title Paragraph Amendment
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sec. 23.1445.................... Oxygen distribution system (a) and (b)..................... 23-62
Sec. 23.1451.................... Fire protection for oxygen (a), (b), and (c)............... 23-49
equipment.
Sec. 23.1453.................... Protection of oxygen (a) and (b)..................... 23-49
equipment from rupture.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 23.1445 mentions the only significant regulatory
difference, regarding common sources oxygen with passengers. The oxygen
system is not utilized for breathing; hence, this Significant Standard
Difference (SSD) does not apply.
In addition, the FAA notes that Ultramagic offers an optional
hydraulic kit. This kit is a hydraulic system that actuates the
burners' fuel valve. Since part 31 does not have provisions for
hydraulic systems, Sec. 23.1435, Hydraulic systems, will provide the
basis for the hydraulic system special conditions contained herein. No
SSD is associated with this regulation.

Discussion of Comments

Notice of proposed special conditions No. 31-16-01-SC for the
Ultramagic, S.A., MK-32 Burner Series was published in the Federal
Register on April 5, 2016 (81 FR 19502). No comments were received, and
the special conditions are adopted as proposed.

Applicability

As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to the
Model Numbers F-18, H-56, H-65, H-77, M-56, M-56C, M-65, M-65C, M-77,
M-77C, M-90, M-105, M-120, M-130, M-145, M-160, N-180, N-210, N-250, N-
300, N-355, N-425, S-70, S-90, S-105, S-130, S-160, T-150, T-180, T-
210, V-56, V-65, V-77, V-90, V-105, and Z-90 balloons. Should
Ultramagic, S.A. apply at a later date for a change to the type
certificate to include another model incorporating the same novel or
unusual design feature, the special conditions would apply to that
model as well.
Under standard practice, the effective date of final special
conditions would be 30 days after the date of publication in the
Federal Register; however, as the certification date for the
Ultramagic, S.A., Model Numbers F-18, H-56, H-65, H-77, M-56, M-56C, M-
65, M-65C, M-77, M-77C, M-90, M-105, M-120, M-130, M-145, M-160, N-180,
N-210, N-250, N-300, N-355, N-425, S-70, S-90, S-105, S-130, S-160, T-
150, T-180, T-210, V-56, V-65, V-77, V-90, V-105, and Z-90 balloons is
imminent, the FAA finds that good cause exists to make these special
conditions effective upon issuance.

Conclusion

This action affects only certain novel or unusual design features
on one model series of burners. It is not a rule of general
applicability and it affects only the applicant who applied to the FAA
for approval of these features on the balloons.

1. Certification of the MK-32 Burner Series under 14 CFR part 31.
(a) In addition to the provisions of part 31, amendment 7, the
applicant must design the MK-32 Burner to comply with the requirements,
as described below, with respect to the igniter oxygen augmentation
system and hydraulic burner valve actuation system:

Oxygen Distribution System

(1) Except for flexible lines from oxygen outlets to the dispensing
units, or where shown to be otherwise suitable to the installation,
nonmetallic tubing must not be used for any oxygen line that is
normally pressurized during flight.
(2) Nonmetallic oxygen distribution lines must not be routed where
they may be subjected to elevated temperatures, electrical arcing, and
released flammable fluids that might result from any probable failure.

Fire Protection for Oxygen Equipment

Oxygen equipment and lines must:
(1) Not be installed in any designated fire zones.
(2) Be protected from heat that may be generated in, or escape
from, any designated fire zone.
(3) Be installed so that escaping oxygen cannot come in contact
with and cause ignition of grease, fluid, or vapor accumulations that
are present in normal operation or that may result from the failure or
malfunction of any other system.

Protection of Oxygen Equipment From Rupture

(1) Each element of the oxygen system must have sufficient strength
to withstand the maximum pressure and temperature, in combination with
any externally applied loads arising from consideration of limit
structural loads that may be acting on that part of the system.
(2) Oxygen pressure sources and the lines between the source and
the shutoff means must be:
(i) Protected from unsafe temperatures; and
(ii) Located where the probability and hazard of rupture in a crash
landing are minimized.

Hydraulic Systems

(1) Design. Each hydraulic system must be designed as follows:
(i) Each hydraulic system and its elements must withstand, without
yielding, the structural loads expected in addition to hydraulic loads.
(ii) A means to indicate the pressure in each hydraulic system
which supplies two or more primary functions must be provided to the
flight crew.
(iii) There must be means to ensure that the pressure, including
transient (surge) pressure, in any part of the system will not exceed
the safe limit above design operating pressure and to prevent excessive
pressure resulting from fluid volumetric changes in all lines which are
likely to remain closed long enough for such changes to occur.
(iv) The minimum design burst pressure must be 2.5 times the
operating pressure.
(2) Tests. Each system must be substantiated by proof pressure
tests. When proof tested, no part of any system may fail, malfunction,
or experience a permanent set. The proof load of each system must be at
least 1.5 times the maximum operating pressure of that system.
(3) Accumulators. A hydraulic accumulator or reservoir may be
installed on the engine side of any firewall, if--
(i) It is an integral part of an engine or propeller system; or
(ii) The reservoir is nonpressurized and the total capacity of all
such nonpressurized reservoirs is one quart or less.
(b) Ultramagic, through EASA, will provide the FAA with all
Airworthiness Directives issued against the changed type design, if
any, and a plan for resolving the unsafe conditions for the FAA type
design.
