SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background AD 2024–19–15, Amendment 39– 22857 (89 FR 84267, October 22, 2024) (AD 2024–19–15), requires inspecting the oxygen valve assemblies, and oxygen cylinder and valve assemblies, to determine the serial number of the valve, cylinder, and entire assembly; inspecting certain assemblies and parts for correct spacing of the gap between the bottom of the packing retainer and top of the valve body on the assemblies, and replacing assemblies having unacceptable gaps; limits the installation of affected parts; and requires reporting inspection results and returning certain assemblies to the manufacturer. This AD applies to certain Safran Aerosystems oxygen cylinder and valve assemblies, and oxygen valve assemblies, installed on but not limited to various transport airplanes. PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Need for Correction As published, the AD number of the AD being removed in the amendatory language of AD 2024–19–15 is incorrect. Paragraph 2.a. of the amendatory language refers to ‘‘AD 2013–13–11.’’ The correct AD reference is ‘‘AD 2023– 13–11.’’ Also as published, the manufacturer name in the introductory text of paragraph (c) in the regulatory text of AD 2024–19–15 contains a typographical error. The correct manufacturer name is ‘‘Safran Aerosystems.’’ Also as published, the manufacturer name in the material identified in the text of paragraph (l)(1) in the regulatory text of AD 2024–19–15 contains a typographical error. The correct manufacturer name is ‘‘Safran Aerosystems.’’ Material Incorporated by Reference Under 1 CFR Part 51 The FAA reviewed the following material. This material specifies 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. • Safran Aerosystems Alert Service Bulletin 10015804–35–01, Revision 04, dated November 9, 2023. • Safran Aerosystems Alert Service Bulletin 10015804–35–02, Revision 06, dated August 30, 2023. • Safran Aerosystems Alert Service Bulletin 10015804–35–03, Revision 05, dated September 29, 2023.

E:\FR\FM\07NOR1.SGM 07NOR1 88116 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 216 / Thursday, November 7, 2024 / Rules and Regulations This material 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. Correction of Publication This document corrects three errors and correctly adds the AD as an amendment to 14 CFR 39.13. Although no other part of the preamble or regulatory information has been corrected, the FAA is publishing the entire rule in the Federal Register. The effective date of this AD remains November 26, 2024. Since this action only corrects an incorrect AD number and two typographical errors, it has no adverse economic impact and imposes no additional burden on any person. Therefore, the FAA has determined that notice and public comment procedures are unnecessary. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety. Adoption of the Amendment Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA amends part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (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. § 39.13 [Corrected] (d) Subject Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 35, Oxygen. (a) Effective Date This airworthiness directive (AD) is effective November 26, 2024. (e) Unsafe Condition This AD 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, and by the manufacturer identifying additional assemblies and parts affected by the unsafe condition. The FAA is issuing this AD to address oxygen leakage from cylinder and valve assemblies. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, 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. (b) Affected ADs This AD replaces AD 2023–13–11, Amendment 39–22496 (88 FR 50011, August 1, 2023) (AD 2023–13–11). (f) Compliance Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done. (c) Applicability This AD applies to Safran Aerosystems (formerly AVOX Systems Inc.; Scott Aviation) oxygen cylinder and valve assemblies having part number (P/N) (g) Retained Definition of Detailed Inspection, With No Changes This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (g) of AD 2023–13–11, with no changes.

Use of this new regulation is required for all State DOT requests for, and FHWA approval of, changes in access to the Interstate System documented in an Interstate Access Justification Report dated after December 9, 2025. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Clayton Wellman, Office of Preconstruction, Construction and Pavements (HICP–10), (202) 366–4658, or via email at Clayton.Wellman@ dot.gov, or Mr. Lev Gabrilovich, Office of the Chief Counsel (HCC–30), (202) 366–3813, or via email at Lev.Gabrilovich@dot.gov. Office hours are from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., e.t., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: Electronic Access and Filing This document, as well as the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) and all comments received, may be viewed online through the Federal eRulemaking portal at www.regulations.gov using the docket number listed above. Electronic retrieval help and guidelines are also available at www.regulations.gov. An electronic copy of this document may also be downloaded from the Office of the Federal Register’s website at www.FederalRegister.gov and the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s website at www.GovInfo.gov. PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Background and Legal Authority It is in the national interest to preserve and enhance the Interstate System to meet the needs of the 21st century by ensuring that it provides the highest level of service in terms of safety and mobility. Full control of access along the Interstate mainline and ramps, along with control of access on the crossroad at interchanges, is critical to such service. Under 23 U.S.C. 111 (section 111), all agreements between the Secretary and State DOTs for the construction of projects on the Interstate System shall provide that the State will not add any points of access to, or exit from, the project in addition to those approved by the Secretary in the plans for such project, without the prior approval of the Secretary. Any change to an access point can potentially add or remove access from the Interstate System. Therefore, FHWA historically has interpreted the addition of an access point to include the addition of a new, or modification of an existing, interchange or access point along the Interstate System.1 The Secretary has delegated authority to administer section 111 to the Federal Highway Administrator pursuant to 49 CFR 1.85(a)(1). Section 111(e) allows FHWA to delegate to a State DOT authority to approve Interstate Access Justification Reports (IAJR) pertaining to certain changes in access to the Interstate System. Statement of the Problem and Regulatory History The FHWA published a NPRM on September 19, 2023 (88 FR 64388), seeking public comment on proposed amendments to its regulations to incorporate provisions governing changes in access to the Interstate System at new 23 CFR part 624. The FHWA received 57 comments submitted to the docket from 19 commenters representing State DOTs, individuals, and planning organizations. After carefully considering the comments received in response to the NPRM, FHWA is promulgating final regulations with changes from the proposed regulatory text. The FHWA did not receive comments on the new information collection associated with this proposal, specifically the submittal of two reports that State DOTs have submitted to FHWA for years under the existing policy: the IAJR and the Programmatic Agreement (PA) annual report. 1 See, e.g., 2017 Interstate Access Policy, dated May 22, 2017 (https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ programadmin/fraccess.cfm).

Airworthiness Directives; Safran Aerosystems (Formerly AVOX 
Systems Inc.; Scott Aviation) Oxygen Cylinder and Valve Assemblies, and 
Oxygen Valve Assemblies

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting an airworthiness directive (AD) that was 
published in the Federal Register. That AD applies to certain Safran 
Aerosystems oxygen cylinder and valve assemblies, and oxygen valve 
assemblies, installed on but not limited to various transport 
airplanes. As published, the AD number of the AD being removed in the 
amendatory language of AD 2024-19-15 is incorrect, and the manufacturer 
name in the applicability and material required to be followed for 
identification of affected serial numbers in one location contains a 
typographical error. This document corrects those errors. In all other 
respects, the original document remains the same.

DATES: This correction is effective November 26, 2024. The effective 
date of AD 2024-19-15 remains November 26, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    AD 2024-19-15, Amendment 39-22857 (89 FR 84267, October 22, 2024) 
(AD 2024-19-15), requires inspecting the oxygen valve assemblies, and 
oxygen cylinder and valve assemblies, to determine the serial number of 
the valve, cylinder, and entire assembly; inspecting certain assemblies 
and parts for correct spacing of the gap between the bottom of the 
packing retainer and top of the valve body on the assemblies, and 
replacing assemblies having unacceptable gaps; limits the installation 
of affected parts; and requires reporting inspection results and 
returning certain assemblies to the manufacturer. This AD applies to 
certain Safran Aerosystems oxygen cylinder and valve assemblies, and 
oxygen valve assemblies, installed on but not limited to various 
transport airplanes.

Need for Correction

    As published, the AD number of the AD being removed in the 
amendatory language of AD 2024-19-15 is incorrect. Paragraph 2.a. of 
the amendatory language refers to ``AD 2013-13-11.'' The correct AD 
reference is ``AD 2023-13-11.''
    Also as published, the manufacturer name in the introductory text 
of paragraph (c) in the regulatory text of AD 2024-19-15 contains a 
typographical error. The correct manufacturer name is ``Safran 
Aerosystems.''
    Also as published, the manufacturer name in the material identified 
in the text of paragraph (l)(1) in the regulatory text of AD 2024-19-15 
contains a typographical error. The correct manufacturer name is 
``Safran Aerosystems.''

Material Incorporated by Reference Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed the following material. This material specifies 
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.

    This material 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.

Correction of Publication

    This document corrects three errors and correctly adds the AD as an 
amendment to 14 CFR 39.13. Although no other part of the preamble or 
regulatory information has been corrected, the FAA is publishing the 
entire rule in the Federal Register.
    The effective date of this AD remains November 26, 2024.
    Since this action only corrects an incorrect AD number and two 
typographical errors, it has no adverse economic impact and imposes no 
additional burden on any person. Therefore, the FAA has determined that 
notice and public comment procedures are unnecessary.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 35, Oxygen.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD 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, and by the manufacturer identifying additional 
assemblies and parts affected by the unsafe condition. The FAA is 
issuing this AD to address oxygen leakage from cylinder and valve 
assemblies. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, 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.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, 
unless already done.

(g) Retained Definition of Detailed Inspection, With No Changes

    This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (g) of AD 
2023-13-11, with no changes. For the purposes of this AD, a detailed 
inspection is an intensive examination of a specific item, 
installation, or assembly to detect damage, failure, or 
irregularity. Available lighting is normally supplemented with a 
direct source of good lighting at an intensity deemed appropriate. 
Inspection aids such as mirror, magnifying lenses, etc., may be 
necessary. Surface cleaning and elaborate procedures may be 
required.

(h) Retained Identification of Affected Cylinder and Valve Assemblies, 
With Updated Language

    This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (h) of AD 
2023-13-11, with updated language. Within 60 days after September 5, 
2023 (the effective date of AD 2023-13-11), inspect the oxygen valve 
assemblies, and oxygen cylinder and valve assemblies, to determine 
if the serial numbers of the valve, cylinder, and entire assembly, 
are listed in Appendix 1 or Appendix 2, ``Affected Shipments,'' of 
the applicable material identified in paragraphs (h)(1) through (3) 
of this AD. A review of airplane maintenance records is acceptable 
in lieu of this inspection if the serial numbers can be conclusively 
determined from that review.
