Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 727-200 and 727-200F Series Airplanes; 737-200, 737-200C, 737-300, and 737-400 Series Airplanes; 747-100, 747-100B, 747-100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747-400, 747SR, and 747SP Series Airplanes; 757-200 and 757-200PF Series Airplanes; and 767-200 and 767-300 Series Airplanes
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Boeing transport category airplanes. This proposed AD would require replacing any insulation blanket constructed of polyethyleneteraphthalate (PET) film, ORCON Orcofilm[reg] AN-26 (hereafter ``AN-26'') with a new insulation blanket. This proposed AD is prompted by reports of in-flight and ground fires on certain airplanes manufactured with insulation blankets covered with AN-26, which may contribute to the spread of a fire when ignition occurs from sources such as electrical arcing or sparking. We are proposing this AD to ensure that insulation blankets constructed of AN-26 are removed from the fuselage. Such insulation blankets could propagate a fire that is the result of electrical arcing or sparking.
Agency Information Collection Activity Under OMB Review
In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this notice announces that the Information Collection Request (ICR) abstracted below has been forwarded to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for extension of the currently approved collection. The ICR describes the nature of the information collection and the expected burden.

Modification of Class D Airspace; Grissom ARB, IN
This action modifies Class D airspace at Grissom ARB, IN, where Instrument Flight Rules Category E circling procedures are being used. This action increases the current area of the Class D airspace.
Establishment of Class E Airspace; Tracy, MN
This action establishes Class E airspace at Tracy, MN. Standard Instrument Approach Procedures have been developed for Tracy Municipal Airport, Tracy, MN. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth is needed to contain aircraft executing these approaches. This action establishes an area of controlled airspace for Tracy Municipal Airport.
Alcohol and Drug Testing: Change of Corporate Name, Address, and Telephone Numbers of Post-Accident Toxicological Testing Laboratory
FRA is amending its alcohol and drug rule to reflect changes to the corporate name, address, and telephone numbers of the laboratory designated to conduct post-accident toxicological testing.
Display of Joint Operations in Carrier-Owned Computer Reservations Systems Regulations
The Department's rules currently prohibit each airline that owns, controls, or operates a computer reservations system (``CRS'' or ``system'') from denying system access to two or more carriers whose flights share a single designator code and discriminating against any carrier because the carrier uses the same designator code as another carrier. The Department recently determined that its comprehensive rules governing CRS operations should be terminated because they are no longer necessary. The Department is initiating this proceeding to consider whether it should also terminate the rules governing the treatment of code-sharing airlines by airlines that own, control, or operate a system.
Petitions for Exemption; Dispositions of Petitions Issued
Pursuant to FAA's rulemaking provisions governing the application, processing, and disposition of petitions for exemption, part 11 of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), this notice contains the disposition of certain petitions previously received. The purpose of this notice is to improve the public's awareness of, and participation in, this aspect of FAA's regulatory activities. Neither publication of this notice nor the inclusion or omission of information in the summary is intended to affect the legal status of any petition or its final disposition.
Airworthiness Directives; Learjet Model 23, 24, 25, 35, and 36 Airplanes
The FAA proposes to supersede an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Learjet Model 23, 24, 25, 35, and 36 airplanes. The existing AD currently requires repetitive inspections to detect deterioration of both flappers of the tip tank in each wing of the airplane, and various follow-on actions. The existing AD also requires replacing the flappers with new flappers, and repetitively performing certain other follow-on actions. This proposed AD would require an inspection of the flappers and flapper assemblies of the tip tank in each wing or a review of the airplane maintenance records to determine the part numbers, and replacement of certain flappers or flapper assemblies if necessary, which would end the existing repetitive inspections. This proposed AD is prompted by the results of numerous continual inspections, and the approval of a new, improved flapper and flapper assembly. We are proposing this AD to prevent significant reduction in the lateral control of the airplane due to imbalance of the fuel loads in the wings of the airplane.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A300 B2 and A300 B4 Series Airplanes; Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R and F4-600R Series Airplanes, and Model A300 C4-605R Variant F Airplanes (Collectively Called A300-600); and Model A310 Series Airplanes
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all the Airbus models identified above. This proposed AD would require modifying the electrical power supply logic for the integral lighting of the standby horizon indicator in the cockpit; accomplishing repetitive operational tests of the integral lighting logic system, and corrective action if necessary. This proposed AD is prompted by a report of temporary loss of six cathode ray tube flight displays and the integral lighting of the standby horizon indicator in the cockpit during takeoff, due to failure of the normal electrical power circuit. We are proposing this AD to prevent loss of that integral lighting due to such failure, which could result in inability of the pilot to read the backup attitude information during takeoff, and possible deviation from the intended flight path.
Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 727 Airplanes
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Boeing Model 727 airplanes. This proposed AD would require determining whether any float switches are installed in the fuel tanks, and corrective actions if necessary. This proposed AD is prompted by reports of contamination of the fueling float switch by moisture or fuel, and chafing of the float switch wiring against the fuel tank conduit. We are proposing this AD to prevent such contamination and chafing, which could present an ignition source inside the fuel tank that could cause a fire or explosion.
