Receipt of Petition for Decision That Nonconforming 2011-2014 Harley-Davidson FX, FL, XL, and VR Motorcycles Are Eligible for Importation
This document announces receipt by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of a petition for a decision that 2011-2014 Harley-Davidson FX, FL, XL, and VR Motorcycles that were not originally manufactured to comply with all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) are eligible for importation into the United States because (1) they are substantially similar to vehicles that were originally manufactured for sale in the United States and that were certified by their manufacturer as complying with the safety standards, and (2) they are capable of being readily altered to conform to the standards.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes
We propose to supersede airworthiness directive (AD) 2006- 0707, for certain A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R series airplanes, and Model C4-605R variant F airplanes (collectively called A300-600 series airplanes). AD 2006-0707 requires modifying nine bolt holes in the vertical flange of the center spar sealing angles. Since we issued AD 2006-0707, we have received reports that fatigue and damage tolerance analyses show that the inspection threshold and interval must be reduced to allow timely detection of cracks. This proposed AD would continue to require modification of bolt holes in the vertical flange of the center spar sealing angles, and any applicable related investigative and corrective actions. This proposed AD would also require inspections for cracks, a modification by cold expansion of the center spar sealing angles, replacement of both sealing angles and cold expansion of the attachment holes if necessary, and post-repair repetitive inspections and corrective actions if necessary. We are proposing this AD to prevent crack formation in the sealing angles, which could rupture the sealing angle and lead to subsequent crack formation in the bottom skin of the wing, and result in reduced structural integrity of the center spar section of the wing.
Reports, Forms, and Recordkeeping Requirements
Before a Federal agency can collect certain information from the public, it must receive approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Under procedures established by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, before seeking OMB approval, Federal agencies must solicit public comment on proposed collections of information, including extensions and reinstatement of previously approved collections. This document describes one collection of information for which NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval.
Amendment of Class E Airspace; Grand Forks, ND
This action amends Class E airspace within the Grand Forks, ND, area by amending the geographic coordinates of the Grand Forks International Airport ILS Localizer. The boundaries and operating requirements of the airspace remain the same.
Airworthiness Directives; GROB-WERKE Airplanes
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain GROB-WERKE Models G115EG and G120A airplanes. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as cracks in the left hand elevator flange. We are issuing this AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; Alpha Aviation Concept Limited Airplanes
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Alpha Aviation Concept Limited Model R2160 airplanes. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as the metal screen shield over the ignition switch may ground out the ignition terminals. We are issuing this AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Amendment of Class D and E Airspace; Grand Forks, ND
This action amends a typographical error in the effective date of a final rule technical amendment correction published in the Federal Register of February 6, 2014, that amends Class D and E airspace in the Grand Forks, ND, area. The effective date year is corrected from February 6, 2013, to February 6, 2014.
Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2007-16-19, which applied to certain The Boeing Company Model 747-200B, 747-300, and 747-400 series airplanes. AD 2007-16-19 required repetitive detailed inspections for cracking of the aft tension tie channels from body station (BS) 1120 to BS 1220 and from BS 880 to BS 1100, and corrective actions if necessary. AD 2007-16-19 also provided optional terminating action. This new AD retains the existing requirements, limits the area of the detailed inspection, adds repetitive surface high-frequency eddy current inspections, and mandates the previously optional terminating action. This AD was prompted by an analysis that indicated the need to mandate the previously optional modification. We are issuing this AD to prevent fatigue cracking of the tension ties, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane and rapid depressurization of the airplane.
Airworthiness Directives; Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A Airplanes
We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2009-21-08 R1 for Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A Model P-180 airplanes. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as cases of un-commanded operation of switched off nose-wheel steering system caused by internal leakage of a steering select/bypass valve. We are issuing this AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these products.
