Airworthiness Directives; AVOX
System Inc. (formerly Scott Aviation)
Oxygen Cylinder and Valve
Assemblies; and Oxygen Valve
Assemblies
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM).
AGENCY:
The FAA proposes to
supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2022–04–09, which applies to certain
AVOX System Inc. (formerly Scott
Aviation) oxygen cylinder and valve
assemblies; and oxygen valve
assemblies; installed on but not limited
to various transport airplanes. AD 2022–
04–09 requires an inspection of the
oxygen valve assemblies, and oxygen
cylinder and valve assemblies, to
determine the serial number; for certain
assemblies and parts, a detailed
inspection of the gap between the
bottom of the packing retainer and top
of the valve body on the assemblies; and
replacement of assemblies having
unacceptable gaps. Since the FAA
issued AD 2022–04–09, the agency
determined additional assemblies and
parts are affected by the unsafe
condition. This proposed AD would
require an inspection of the oxygen
valve assemblies, and oxygen cylinder
and valve assemblies, to determine the
serial number of the valve, cylinder, and
entire assembly. For assemblies and
parts with certain serial numbers, this
proposed AD would require a detailed
inspection for correct spacing of the gap
between the bottom of the packing
retainer and top of the valve body on the
assemblies, and replacement of
assemblies having unacceptable gaps.
This proposed AD would also limit the
installation of affected parts under
certain conditions. The FAA is
proposing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.
DATES: The FAA must receive comments
on this proposed AD by March 13, 2023.
ADDRESSES: You may send comments,
using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following

Background
The FAA issued AD 2022–04–09,
Amendment 39–21951 (87 FR 10958,
February 28, 2022) (AD 2022–04–09),
for certain AVOX System Inc. (formerly
Scott Aviation) oxygen cylinder and
valve assemblies, and oxygen valve
assemblies, installed on but not limited
to various transport airplanes. AD 2022–
04–09 was prompted by reports of
cylinder and valve assemblies having
oxygen leakage from the valve assembly
vent hole, caused by the absence of a
guide that maintains appropriate
spacing between certain parts. AD
2022–04–09 requires an inspection of
the oxygen valve assemblies, and
oxygen cylinder and valve assemblies,
to determine the serial number of the
valve, cylinder, and entire assembly. For
assemblies and parts with certain serial
numbers, AD 2022–04–09 requires a
detailed inspection for correct spacing
of the gap between the bottom of the
packing retainer and top of the valve
body on the assemblies, and
replacement of assemblies having
unacceptable gaps. The agency issued
AD 2022–04–09 to address oxygen
leakage from the cylinder, which could
result in decreased or insufficient
oxygen supply during a
depressurization event; and heating or
flow friction, which could cause an
ignition event in the valve assembly.
Actions Since AD 2022–04–09 Was
Issued
Since the FAA issued AD 2022–04–
09, the agency determined additional
assemblies and parts are affected by the
unsafe condition. New service
information has been issued that
expands the population of discrepant
parts, providing more serial numbers for
which to inspect.
FAA’s Determination
The FAA is issuing this NPRM after
determining that the unsafe condition
described previously is likely to exist or
develop on other products of the same
type design.
determine the serial numbers of the
oxygen cylinder and valve assemblies,
and the oxygen valve assemblies, a
detailed inspection for correct spacing
of the gap between the bottom of the
packing retainer and top of the valve
body on the assemblies, parts marking,
inspection report, and return of parts to
the manufacturer. These documents are
distinct since they apply to different
assembly part numbers.

Proposed AD Requirements in This
NPRM
This proposed AD would require
accomplishing the actions specified in
the service information described
previously. This proposed AD would
limit the installation of affected parts
under certain conditions and require
returning the affected parts and sending
the inspection results to the
manufacturer.
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this AD, if
adopted as proposed, would affect 3,034
oxygen cylinder and valve assemblies,
and oxygen valve assemblies, installed
on various transport category airplanes
of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates 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,
Section 106, describes the authority of
the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more
detail the scope of the Agency’s
authority.
The FAA is 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
The FAA has determined that this
proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order
13132. This proposed AD would not
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:09 Jan 26, 2023
Jkt 259001
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) Would not affect intrastate
aviation in Alaska, and
(3) Would not have a significant
economic impact, positive or negative,
on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.

RIN 2120-AA64
Airworthiness Directives; AVOX System Inc. (formerly Scott
Aviation) Oxygen Cylinder and Valve Assemblies; and Oxygen Valve
Assemblies
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2022-04-09, which applies to certain AVOX System Inc. (formerly Scott
Aviation) oxygen cylinder and valve assemblies; and oxygen valve
assemblies; installed on but not limited to various transport
airplanes. AD 2022-04-09 requires an inspection of the oxygen valve
assemblies, and oxygen cylinder and valve assemblies, to determine the
serial number; for certain assemblies and parts, a detailed inspection
of the gap between the bottom of the packing retainer and top of the
valve body on the assemblies; and replacement of assemblies having
unacceptable gaps. Since the FAA issued AD 2022-04-09, the agency
determined additional assemblies and parts are affected by the unsafe
condition. This proposed AD would require an inspection of the oxygen
valve assemblies, and oxygen cylinder and valve assemblies, to
determine the serial number of the valve, cylinder, and entire
assembly. For assemblies and parts with certain serial numbers, this
proposed AD would require a detailed inspection for correct spacing of
the gap between the bottom of the packing retainer and top of the valve
body on the assemblies, and replacement of assemblies having
unacceptable gaps. This proposed AD would also limit the installation
of affected parts under certain conditions. The FAA is proposing this
AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by March 13,
2023.
ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this NPRM contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this NPRM, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this NPRM. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to
Elizabeth Dowling, Aerospace Engineer, Mechanical Systems and
Administrative Services Section, FAA, New York ACO Branch, 1600 Stewart

specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the public docket for
this rulemaking.
Background
The FAA issued AD 2022-04-09, Amendment 39-21951 (87 FR 10958,
February 28, 2022) (AD 2022-04-09), for certain AVOX System Inc.
(formerly Scott Aviation) oxygen cylinder and valve assemblies, and
oxygen valve assemblies, installed on but not limited to various
transport airplanes. AD 2022-04-09 was prompted by reports of cylinder
and valve assemblies having oxygen leakage from the valve assembly vent
hole, caused by the absence of a guide that maintains appropriate
spacing between certain parts. AD 2022-04-09 requires an inspection of
the oxygen valve assemblies, and oxygen cylinder and valve assemblies,
to determine the serial number of the valve, cylinder, and entire
assembly. For assemblies and parts with certain serial numbers, AD
2022-04-09 requires a detailed inspection for correct spacing of the
gap between the bottom of the packing retainer and top of the valve
body on the assemblies, and replacement of assemblies having
unacceptable gaps. The agency issued AD 2022-04-09 to address oxygen
leakage from the cylinder, which could result in decreased or
insufficient oxygen supply during a depressurization event; and heating
or flow friction, which could cause an ignition event in the valve
assembly.
Actions Since AD 2022-04-09 Was Issued
Since the FAA issued AD 2022-04-09, the agency determined
additional assemblies and parts are affected by the unsafe condition.
New service information has been issued that expands the population of
discrepant parts, providing more serial numbers for which to inspect.
FAA's Determination
The FAA is issuing this NPRM after determining that the unsafe
condition described previously is likely to exist or develop on other
products of the same type design.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
The FAA reviewed the following service information, which describes
procedures for an inspection to determine the serial numbers of the
oxygen cylinder and valve assemblies, and the oxygen valve assemblies,
a detailed inspection for correct spacing of the gap between the bottom
of the packing retainer and top of the valve body on the assemblies,
parts marking, inspection report, and return of parts to the
manufacturer. These documents are distinct since they apply to
different assembly part numbers.

AVOX Systems Inc. Alert Service Bulletin 10015804-35-03,
Revision 03, dated June 18, 2021.
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.
Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM
This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information described previously. This proposed AD would
limit the installation of affected parts under certain conditions and
require returning the affected parts and sending the inspection results
to the manufacturer.
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 3,034 oxygen cylinder and valve assemblies, and oxygen valve
assemblies, installed on various transport category airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this
proposed AD:
Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost per Cost on U.S.
Action Labor cost Parts cost product operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Serial number inspection......... 1 work-hour x $85 None................... $85 $257,890
per hour = $85.
Reporting........................ 1 work-hour x $85 $0..................... 85 257,890
per hour = $85.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary follow-on
actions that would be required based on the results of the inspection.
The FAA has no way of determining the number of aircraft that might
need these actions:
On-Condition Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost per
Action Labor cost Parts cost product
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Detailed inspection........................... 1 work-hour x $85 per hour = $85 $0 $85
Replacement................................... 1 work x hour $85 per hour = $85 * 0 $85
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The FAA has received no definitive data on the parts cost for the on-condition replacements.
[[Page 5280]]
The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate.
According to the manufacturer, however, some or all of the costs of
this proposed AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the
cost impact on affected operators.
Paperwork Reduction Act
A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB
Control Number for this information collection is 2120-0056. Public
reporting for this collection of information is estimated to be
approximately 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing
instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and
maintaining the data needed, completing and reviewing the collection of
information. All responses to this collection of information are
mandatory. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other
aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for
reducing this burden to: Information Collection Clearance Officer,
Federal Aviation Administration, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX
76177-1524.
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.
The FAA is 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
The FAA has 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) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
(3) Would 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
