(HIRF)AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION: Final special conditions; request for comments. SUMMARY: These special conditions are issued for the Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Model G-1159 Gulfstream II airplanes modified by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, Dallas, Texas. These modified airplanes will have a novel or unusual design feature when compared to the state of technology envisioned in the airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes. The modification incorporates the installation of dual electronic attitude direction indicators

(ADI)and dual horizontal situation indicators (HSI). The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for the protection of these systems from the effects of high-intensity radiated fields (HIRF). These special conditions contain the additional safety standards the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that provided by the existing airworthiness standards. DATES: The effective date of these special conditions is July 20, 2006. We must receive your comments by August 30, 2006. ADDRESSES: You must mail two copies of your comments to: Federal Aviation Administration, Transport Airplane Directorate, Attn: Rules Docket (ANM-113), Docket No. NM350, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington 98055-4056. You may deliver two copies to the Transport Airplane Directorate at the address indicated above. You must mark your comments Docket No. NM350. You may inspect comments in the Rules Docket weekdays, except Federal holidays, between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Greg Dunn, FAA, Airplane and Flight Crew Interface Branch, ANM-111, Transport Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification Service, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington 98055-4056; telephone

(425)227-1320. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments Invited The FAA has determined that notice and opportunity for prior public comment is unnecessary as the substance of these special conditions has been subject to the public comment process in several prior instances with no substantive comments received. The FAA therefore finds that good cause exists for making these special conditions effective on issuance; however, the FAA invites interested people to take part in this rulemaking by sending written comments, data, or views. The most helpful comments reference a specific portion of the special conditions, explain the reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. We ask that you send us two copies of written comments. We will file in the docket all comments we receive, as well as a report summarizing each substantive public contact with FAA personnel about these special conditions. You may inspect the docket before and after the comment closing date. If you wish to review the docket in person, go to the address in the ADDRESSES section of this preamble between 7:30 a.m., and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. We will consider all comments we receive by the closing date for comments. We will consider comments filed late if it is possible to do so without incurring expense or delay. We may change these special conditions based on the comments we receive. If you want the FAA to acknowledge receipt of your comments on these special conditions, include with your comments a pre-addressed, stamped postcard on which the docket number appears. We will stamp the date on the postcard and mail it back to you. Background On May 19, 2006, Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, Dallas, Texas, applied for a supplemental type certificate

(STC)to modify the Model G-1159 Gulfstream II airplanes. These airplanes are low-wing, pressurized transport category airplanes with two fuselage-mounted jet engines. They are capable of seating up to 19 passengers, with a crew of two pilots. The modification incorporates the installation of dual electronic ADI and dual HSI. These systems have a potential to be vulnerable to HIRF external to the airplane. Type Certification Basis Under 14 CFR 21.101, Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation must show that the Model G-1159 Gulfstream II airplanes, as modified to include dual electronic ADI and dual HSI, continue to meet the applicable provisions of the regulations incorporated by reference in Type Certificate

(TC)No. A12EA or the applicable regulations in effect on the date of application for the change. We commonly refer to the regulations incorporated by reference in the TC as the “original type certification basis.” The specific regulations are the Civil Aviation Regulations

(CAR)4b, as amended by Amendments 4b-1 through 4b-14. If the Administrator finds that the applicable airworthiness regulations (i.e., CAR 4b as amended) do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for the Model G-1159 Gulfstream II airplanes, because of a novel or unusual design feature, special conditions are prescribed under § 21.16. Besides the applicable airworthiness regulations and special conditions, the Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Model G-1159 Gulfstream II airplanes, must comply with the fuel vent exhaust emission requirements of 14 CFR part 34. It must also comply with the noise certification requirement of 14 CFR part 36. We issue special conditions, as defined in 14 CFR part 11.19, under § 11.38 and they become part of the type certification basis under § 21.101. Special conditions are initially applicable to the model for which they are issued. Should Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation apply later for an STC to modify any other model included on TC No. A12EA to incorporate the same or similar novel or unusual design feature, these special conditions would also apply to the other model under § 21.101. Novel or Unusual Design Features As noted earlier, the modified Model G-1159 Gulfstream II airplanes, modified by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, will incorporate dual electronic ADI and dual HSI that will perform critical functions. These systems may be vulnerable to HIRF external to the airplane. The current airworthiness standards of part 25 do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for the protection of this equipment from adverse affects of HIRF. Therefore, we consider these systems to be novel or unusual design features. Discussion There is no specific regulation that addresses protection requirements for electrical and electronic systems from HIRF. Increased power levels from ground-based radio transmitters and the growing use of sensitive avionics/electronics and electrical systems to command and control airplanes have made it necessary to provide adequate protection. To ensure that a level of safety is achieved equivalent to that intended by the regulations incorporated by reference, special conditions are needed for the Model G-1159 Gulfstream II airplanes. These special conditions require that new avionics/electronics and electrical systems that perform critical functions be designed and installed to preclude component damage and interruption of function due to both the direct and indirect effects of HIRF. High-Intensity Radiated Fields

(HIRF)With the trend toward increased power levels from ground-based transmitters, and the advent of space and satellite communications coupled with electronic command and control of the airplane, the immunity of critical digital avionics/electronics and electrical systems to HIRF must be established. It is not possible to precisely define the HIRF to which the airplane will be exposed in service. There is also uncertainty concerning the effectiveness of airframe shielding for HIRF. Furthermore, coupling of electromagnetic energy to cockpit-installed equipment through the cockpit window apertures is undefined. Based on surveys and analysis of existing HIRF emitters, an adequate level of protection exists when compliance with the HIRF protection special condition is shown with either paragraph 1 or 2 below: 1. A minimum threat of 100 volts rms (root-mean-square) per meter electric field strength from 10 KHz to 18 GHz. a. The threat must be applied to the system elements and their associated wiring harnesses without the benefit of airframe shielding. b. Demonstration of this level of protection is established through system tests and analysis. 2. A threat external to the airframe of the field strengths identified in the following table for the frequency ranges indicated. Both peak and average field strength components from the table are to be demonstrated. Frequency Field strength (volts per meter) Peak Average 10 kHz-100 kHz 50 50 100 kHz-500 kHz 50 50 500 kHz-2 MHz 50 50 2 MHz-30 MHz 100 100 30 MHz-70 MHz 50 50 70 MHz-100 MHz 50 50 100 MHz-200 MHz 100 100 200 MHz-400 MHz 100 100 400 MHz-700 MHz 700 50 700 MHz-1 GHz 700 100 1 GHz-2 GHz 2000 200 2GHz-4 GHz 3000 200 4 GHz-6 GHz 3000 200 6 GHz-8 GHz 1000 200 8 GHz-12 GHz 3000 300 12 GHz-18 GHz 2000 200 18 GHz-40 GHz 600 200 The field strengths are expressed in terms of peak of the root-mean-square

(rms)over the complete modulation period. The threat levels identified above are the result of an FAA review of existing studies on the subject of HIRF, in light of the ongoing work of the Electromagnetic Effects Harmonization Working Group of the Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee. Applicability As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to the Model G-1159 Gulfstream II airplanes. Should Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation apply later for an STC on another model included on TC No. A12EA to incorporate the same or similar novel or unusual design feature, these special conditions would apply to that model as well under § 21.101. Conclusion This action affects only certain novel or unusual design features on the Model G-1159 Gulfstream II airplanes. It is not a rule of general applicability and affects only the applicant who applied to the FAA for approval of these features on the airplane. The substance of the special conditions for these airplanes has been subjected to the notice and comment procedure in several prior instances and has been derived without substantive change from those previously issued. Because a delay would significantly affect the certification of the airplane, which is imminent, the FAA has determined that prior public notice and comment are unnecessary and impracticable, and good cause exists for adopting these special conditions immediately. The FAA is requesting comments to allow interested people to put in views that may not have been submitted in response to the prior opportunities for comment described above. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 25 Aircraft, Aviation safety, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements. The authority citation for these special conditions is as follows: Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701, 44702, 44704. The Special Conditions Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the following special conditions are issued as part of the supplemental type certification basis for the modified Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Model G-1159 Gulfstream II airplanes: 1. *Protection from Unwanted Effects of High-Intensity Radiated Fields (HIRF)* . Each electrical and electronic system that performs critical functions must be designed and installed to ensure that the operation and operational capability of these systems to perform critical functions are not adversely affected when the airplane is exposed to high intensity radiated fields. 2. For the purpose of these special conditions, the following definition applies: *Critical Functions:* Functions whose failure would contribute to or cause a failure condition that would prevent the continued safe flight and landing of the airplane. Issued in Renton, Washington, on July 20, 2006. Ali Bahrami, Manager, Transport Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification Service. [FR Doc.

(NPRM)to amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to all Fokker Model F.28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes. That NPRM was published in the **Federal Register** on May 25, 2006 (71 FR 30072). That NPRM proposed to require modification of the wiring distribution of the alternating current bus transfer power system and the right-hand and left-hand windshield anti-icing system, as necessary. Comments We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the development of this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of the cost to the public. Conclusion We have carefully reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed. Costs of Compliance This AD will affect about 10 airplanes of U.S. registry. The required actions will take about 3 work hours per airplane, at an average labor rate of $80 per work hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the AD for U.S. operators is $2,400, or $240 per airplane. 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. We are 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 We have determined that this AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will 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 this AD:

(1)Is not a “significant regulatory action” under Executive Order 12866;

(2)Is not a “significant rule” under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and

(3)Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket. See the ADDRESSES section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation.

E6-12092 Filed 7-28-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910-13-P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Aviation Administration 14 CFR Part 39 [Docket No. 2001-NM-387-AD; Amendment 39-14696; AD 2006-15-15] RIN 2120-AA64 Airworthiness Directives; McDonnell Douglas Model DC-9-81 (MD-81), DC-9-82 (MD-82), DC-9-83 (MD-83), DC-9-87 (MD-87), and MD-88 Airplanes AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT. ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain McDonnell Douglas airplane models, that requires a one-time inspection for chafing or signs of arcing of the wire bundle for the auxiliary hydraulic pump, and other specified and corrective actions, as applicable. This AD also requires that, for certain airplanes, installation of additional protective sleeving on the upper portion of the auxiliary hydraulic pump wire assembly. This AD results from reports of shorted wires and evidence of arcing on the power cables of the auxiliary hydraulic pump, as well a fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer. We are issuing this AD to prevent shorted wires or arcing at the auxiliary hydraulic pump, which could result in loss of auxiliary hydraulic power, or a fire in the wheel well of the airplane. The actions specified by this AD are also intended to reduce the potential of an ignition source adjacent to the fuel tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the airplane. DATES: Effective September 5, 2006. The incorporation by reference of a certain publication listed in the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of September 5, 2006. ADDRESSES: The service information referenced in this AD may be obtained from Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Long Beach Division, 3855 Lakewood Boulevard, Long Beach, California 90846, Attention: Data and Service Management, Dept. C1-L5A (D800-0024).

(AD)that is applicable to certain McDonnell Douglas Model DC-9-81 (MD-81), DC-9-82 (MD-82), DC-9-83 (MD-83), DC-9-87 (MD-87), and MD-88 airplanes, was published as a second supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking

(NPRM)in the **Federal Register** on March 14, 2006 (71 FR 13050). That action proposed to require a one-time inspection for chafing or signs of arcing of the wire bundle for the auxiliary hydraulic pump, and other specified and corrective actions, as applicable. That action also proposed to require, for certain airplanes, installation of additional protective sleeving on the upper portion of the auxiliary hydraulic pump wire assembly. Comments We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the development of this AD. No comments have been received on the second supplemental NPRM or on the determination of the cost to the public. Explanation of Changes to the Second Supplemental NPRM In paragraph

(a)of the second supplemental NPRM we inadvertently referred to Configurations 1 through 3 when we should have referred to Configurations 1 through 4. It was our intent that the requirements of paragraph

(a)apply to Configurations 1 through 4 airplanes, as described in the referenced Boeing Alert Service Bulletin MD80-29A070, Revision 1, dated July 28, 2005. As described in the preamble of the second supplemental NPRM, we added paragraph

(c)to this AD to give credit for actions done before the effective date of this AD in accordance with the original issue of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin MD80-29A070, dated August 3, 2004, except that the additional requirements of paragraph

(b)of this AD must be done on airplanes in Configuration 4, as defined in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin MD80-29A070, Revision 1. Therefore, we have revised paragraph

(a)of this AD accordingly. We also have clarified the Cost Impact section of this AD in regard to the airplane configurations. Conclusion We have carefully reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD with the change described previously. We have determined that this change will neither increase the economic burden on any operator nor increase the scope of the AD. Cost Impact There are approximately 1,063 airplanes of the affected design in the worldwide fleet. We estimate that 732 airplanes of U.S. registry (i.e., airplane Configurations 1 through 4; we do not know how many airplanes are in Configuration 4) will be affected by this AD, that it will take up to 12 work hours per airplane to accomplish the required inspection and other specified actions, and that the average labor rate is $65 per work hour. Required parts will cost up to $524 per airplane. Based on these figures, the cost impact of this AD on U.S. operators is estimated to be up to $954,528, or up to $1,304 per airplane. For airplanes in Configuration 4, as defined in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin MD80-29A070, Revision 1, it will take approximately 2 work hours to accomplish the required additional wiring protection, at an average labor rate of $65 per work hour. Required parts will cost approximately $40 per airplane. Based on these figures, the cost impact of this action on an affected airplane is estimated to be $170 per airplane. The cost impact figures discussed above are based on assumptions that no operator has yet accomplished any of the proposed requirements of this AD action, and that no operator would accomplish those actions in the future if this AD were not adopted. The cost impact figures discussed in AD rulemaking actions represent only the time necessary to perform the specific actions actually required by the AD. These figures typically do not include incidental costs, such as the time required to gain access and close up, planning time, or time necessitated by other administrative actions. 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. We are 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 Impact The regulations adopted herein will 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. Therefore, it is determined that this final rule does not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this action

(1)is not a “significant regulatory action” under Executive Order 12866;

(2)is not a “significant rule” under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and

(3)will not have a significant economic impact, positive or negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. A final evaluation has been prepared for this action and it is contained in the Rules Docket. A copy of it may be obtained from the Rules Docket at the location provided under the caption ADDRESSES . List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by reference, Safety.

ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive

(AD)for certain Raytheon (Beech) Model 400 and 400A series airplanes. This AD requires, among other actions, reviewing the airplane logbook to determine whether certain generator control unit

(GCU)installation kits are installed, and replacing any incorrect GCU. This AD results from reports of over-voltage conditions of the direct current

(DC)starter generator. We are issuing this AD to prevent such over-voltage conditions due to the incompatibility between certain GCUs, which could result in the loss of normal electrical power, damage to some electrical components, or blown fuses during flight, and consequent unrecoverable loss of some or all essential equipment. DATES: This AD becomes effective September 5, 2006. The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of September 5, 2006. ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at *http://dms.dot.gov* or in person at the Docket Management Facility, U.S. Department of Transportation, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Nassif Building, Room PL-401, Washington, DC.

(800)647-5227) is located on the plaza level of the Nassif Building at the street address stated in the ADDRESSES section. Discussion The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking

(NPRM)to amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to certain Raytheon (Beech) Model 400 and 400A series airplanes. That NPRM was published in the **Federal Register** on May 9, 2006 (71 FR 26877). That NPRM proposed to require, among other actions, reviewing the airplane logbook to determine whether certain generator control unit

(GCU)installation kits are installed, and replacing any incorrect GCU. Comments We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the development of this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of the cost to the public. Conclusion We have carefully reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed. Costs of Compliance There are about 43 airplanes of the affected design in the worldwide fleet. This AD will affect about 40 airplanes of U.S. registry. The required inspection will take about 1 work hour per airplane, at an average labor rate of $80 per work hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the AD for U.S. operators is $3,200, or $80 per airplane. 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. We are 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 We have determined that this AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will 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 this AD:

(1)Is not a “significant regulatory action” under Executive Order 12866;

(2)Is not a “significant rule” under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and

(FAA)amends § 39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness directive (AD): **2006-15-16 Raytheon Aircraft Company (Formerly Beech):** Amendment 39-14697. Docket No. FAA-2006-24694; Directorate Identifier 2006-NM-018-AD. Effective Date

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments. SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive

(AD)for Hamilton Sundstrand model 14RF-19 propellers. That AD currently requires replacing certain actuator yokes with improved actuator yokes. This AD requires the same actions. This AD results from the discovery of a part number (P/N) error in the applicability paragraph of AD 2006-12-19. We are issuing this AD to prevent actuator yoke arms breaking during flight, which could cause high propeller vibration and contribute to reduced controllability of the airplane. DATES: Effective August 30, 2006. The Director of the Federal Register previously approved the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the regulations as of July 18, 2006 (71 FR 34003; June 13, 2006).

(781)238-7170. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 6, 2006, the FAA issued AD 2006-12-19, Amendment 39-14645 (71 FR 34003, June 13, 2006). That AD requires replacing certain actuator yokes with improved actuator yokes on Hamilton Sundstrand model 14RF-19 propellers. That AD resulted from certain propeller system actuator yoke arms breaking during flight. That condition, if not corrected, could result in actuator yoke arms breaking during flight, which could cause high propeller vibration and contribute to reduced controllability of the airplane. Actions Since AD 2006-12-19 Was Issued Since that AD was issued, we discovered a P/N error in applicability paragraph (c). Actuator assemblies P/N 790119-6 should be P/N 790199-6. AD 2006-12-19 technically cannot be complied with having an incorrect P/N. This AD supersedure corrects that P/N. Relevant Service Information We have reviewed and approved the technical contents of Hamilton Sundstrand Service Bulletin 14RF-19-61-113, Revision 1, dated September 2, 2003, that describes procedures for installing a new propeller system actuator yoke arm, P/N 810436-3. FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD The unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop on other Hamilton Sundstrand model 14RF-19 propellers of the same type design. We are issuing this AD to prevent actuator yoke arms breaking during flight, which could cause high propeller vibration and contribute to reduced controllability of the airplane. This AD requires replacing the actuator yoke arm, P/N 810436-2, on model 14RF-19 propellers with an improved actuator yoke arm, P/N 810436-3. You must use the service information described previously to perform the actions required by this AD. FAA's Determination of the Effective Date Since an unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of this AD, we have found that notice and opportunity for public comment before issuing this AD are impracticable, and that good cause exists for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days. Comments Invited This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight safety and was not preceded by notice and an opportunity for public comment; however, we invite you to send us any written relevant data, views, or arguments regarding this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under ADDRESSES. Include “AD Docket No. FAA-2005-21691; Directorate Identifier 2005-NE-13-AD” in the subject line of your comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of the rule that might suggest a need to modify it. We will post all comments we receive, without change, to *http://dms.dot.gov* , including any personal information you provide. We will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact with FAA personnel concerning this AD. Using the search function of the DMS Web site, anyone can find and read the comments in any of our dockets, including the name of the individual who sent the comment (or signed the comment on behalf of an association, business, labor union, etc.). You may review the DOT's complete Privacy Act Statement in the **Federal Register** published on April 11, 2000 (65 FR 19477-78) or you may visit *http://dms.dot.gov* .

The Docket Office (telephone

(800)647-5227) is located on the plaza level of the Department of Transportation Nassif Building at the street address stated in ADDRESSES. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly after the DMS receives them. 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. We are 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 We have determined that this AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will 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 regulation: 1. Is not a “significant regulatory action” under Executive Order 12866; 2. Is not a “significant rule” under the DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and 3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

(202)482-6105. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The Missile Technology Control Regime

(MTCR)is an export control arrangement among 34 nations, including the world's most advanced suppliers of ballistic missiles and missile-related materials and equipment. The regime establishes a common export control policy based on a list of controlled items (the Annex) and on guidelines (the Guidelines) that member countries follow to implement national export controls. The goal of maintaining the Annex and the Guidelines is to stem the flow of missile systems capable of delivering weapons of mass destruction to the global marketplace. While the MTCR was originally created to prevent the spread of missiles capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, it was expanded in January 1993 to also stem the flow of delivery systems for chemical and biological weapons. MTCR members voluntarily pledge to adopt the regime's export Guidelines and to restrict the export of items contained in the regime's Annex. The implementation of the regime's Guidelines is effectuated through the national export control laws and policies of the regime members. Amendments to the Export Administration Regulations This rule revises the Export Administration Regulations

(EAR)to reflect changes to the MTCR Annex agreed to at the September 2005 Plenary in Madrid, Spain. Specifically, in § 740.2 (Restrictions on all License Exceptions), this rule amends paragraph (a)(5) which includes a general restriction on using license exceptions for MT controlled items, by adding an additional Export Control Classification Number

(ECCN)2A001 as one of the ECCNs for which certain license exceptions are available. Paragraph (a)(5) prohibits the use of license exceptions for items controlled for MT reasons, but exempts certain listed ECCNs from this prohibition. This rule makes the MT controlled commodities of ECCN 2A001 available for license exceptions TMP and RPL when those commodities are being exported or reexported as one-for-one replacement for equipment previously legally exported or reexported. Because the scope of availability of this exception to the general restriction on MT controlled items is more broadly defined for License Exceptions TMP and RPL for ECCN 2A001 than for the other ECCNs listed in the first sentence of paragraph (a)(5), a new subparagraph

(ii)is added to paragraph (a)(5) to clarify the scope of availability of License Exception TMP and RPL for ECCN 2A001. This new subparagraph

(ii)creates an additional ECCN exception to the general restriction on using license exceptions for MT controlled items. Specifically, this new subparagraph

(ii)states that MT controlled commodities described in ECCN 2A001 may be exported or reexported under § 740.9(a)(2)(ii) (License Exception TMP) and § 740.10 (License Exception RPL) as one-for-one replacement in equipment previously legally exported or reexported. In addition, to comply with **Federal Register** drafting requirements, this rule redesignates the introductory text to paragraph (a)(5) as new subpargraph (i). Additionally, the MT control placed on ball bearings controlled under ECCN 2A001 was added as a result of the 2004 Plenary in Seoul, South Korea (MTCR Annex change, Category II: Item 3(A)(7)) and implemented in an amendment to the EAR on March 10, 2005 (FR 70 11858). Even though the U.S. Government had consulted with its technical advisory committees before making the proposal to control certain ball bearings for MT reasons under ECCN 2A001 at the Seoul Plenary in 2004, those consultations did not reveal that bearings meeting the MTCR specification have a predominant use in certain machine tools. Therefore, given this additional information that has come to light regarding the use of these ball bearings in certain machine tools, the U.S. Government is proposing License Exception RPL to be available only for replacing worn out bearings. In addition, this was done because the interagency community agreed that for MT concerns, license review of the MT controlled commodities described in ECCN 2A001 was unnecessary when those commodities are exported or reexported as one-for-one replacements in equipment previously approved by the U.S. Government. It is anticipated that the availability of this license exception will result in a decrease in license applications. In § 772.1 (Definitions of Terms as Used in the Export Administration Regulations), this rule adds a new definition to define the term “repeatability” as used in the context of MTCR controls on accelerometers. This new definition will aid the public in understanding the two new parameters known as “scale factor repeatability” and “bias repeatability” that are added to ECCN 7A101 with this rule. In addition, this rule adds a new definition to define the term “production facilities”. This new definition will aid the public in understanding the use of this term in ECCNs 7B103 and 9B116. Before the publication of this rule, the term “production facilities” was included in ECCNs 7B103 and 9B116 and was enclosed with quotation marks, which should have signified there was a definition for this term in § 772.1. However, due to an inadvertent omission, the definition of “production facilities” was not included in § 772.1. This rule corrects that omission by adding the definition of “production facilities” to § 772.1. In addition, the Commerce Control List

(CCL)(Supplement No. 1 to Part 774 of the EAR) is amended to reflect changes to the MTCR Annex agreed to at the September 2005 Plenary in Madrid, Spain. Specifically the following ECCNs are affected: ECCNs 1C101, 7A102 and 7A103.b and c are amended to remove the quotation marks around the word missile. “Missile” is defined in the EAR, Part 772.1, as being capable of delivering at least a 500 kilogram payload to a range of at least 300 kilometers. However, items in 19.A. of the MTCR Annex do not contain a specific payload parameter for materials and components used therein. Therefore, the use of the word missile in the description of the items contained in these ECCNs no longer corresponds to the definition of “missile” in Part 772.1. ECCN 1C107 is amended by adding the phrase “which can be machined to any of the following products” to the heading text (MTCR Annex Category II: Item 6(C)(3)). This phrase is being added to clarify that graphite shapes are still controlled by this ECCN when they are larger than the minimum dimensions specified in the entry. Prior to publication of this rule, ECCN 1C107 included specific minimum measurements for graphite pieces controlled by this ECCN, but it was unclear to the public and to BIS licensing officers whether certain graphite pieces exceeding these dimensions were controlled. By adding the phrase “which can be machined to any of the following products,” it will be clear to the public and to licensing officers that graphite pieces are still controlled by this ECCN when they are larger than the minimum dimensions specified in the entry. ECCN 1C107 is also amended by deleting the word “recrystallized” from 1C107.a (MTCR Annex Category II: Item 6(C)(3)). This amendment is a clarification to the CCL that deletes the obsolete term “recrystallized”, which is a term that is no longer used by industry. This rule also replaces the word “particle” with the word “grain” in paragraph

(a)to correspond with language in the MTCR Annex. Lastly, this rule deletes the imperial measurement of 288 K in paragraph

(a)in favor of only listing the control parameter in terms of metric measurements. This change is being made because metric measurements are more commonly used by industry. ECCN 7A101 is amended by revising the control parameter in this ECCN, which is expected to result in a decrease in license applications. Specifically this ECCN is amended by deleting the current parameters of “threshold” and “linearity error,” found in the heading, in favor of two new parameters known as “scale factor repeatability” and “bias repeatability.” For ease of use, these two new parameters, along with a new clarification note, are added to the “items” paragraph in the List of Items Controlled section instead of being added to the heading (MTCR Annex Change Category II: Item 9(A)(3)). These two new parameters will result in a more focused control on accelerometers of concern for “missiles.” A note that is added to ECCN 7A101 to explain that bias and scale factor are determined by calculating the statistical average of repeated measurements over a one year period. This amendment is made to bring this entry in line with current industry practice for characterizing accelerometers. This focused control for accelerometers of concern will also result in a decontrol of accelerometers that are not usable for “missiles”. The change to the control parameters of this ECCN is expected to result in a decrease in license applications for approximately 29 different types of accelerometers. The addition of one new MT controlled ECCN 9A103 is not expected to result in an increase in license applications submitted to BIS, because these commodities will be controlled by the Department of State under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). ECCN 9A103 is added to control liquid propellant tanks specially designed for the propellants controlled in ECCNs 1C011 or 1C111, or other liquid propellants used in “missiles.” (These commodities are subject to the export licensing authority of the U.S. Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls. See 22 CFR part 121) (MTCR Annex Change Category II: Item 3(A)(8)). This cross reference is being added to the EAR to make the public aware that these liquid propellant tanks are ITAR controlled. These liquid propellant tanks are being added to the EAR and also to the ITAR to diminish opportunities by countries involved in missile proliferation activities from acquiring these types of tanks for their “missile” programs. ECCN 9A120 is amended to clarify that the control captures only those unmanned aerial vehicles incorporating, or designed or modified to incorporate, aerosol dispensing systems/mechanisms, to add specific Technical Notes to describe what is meant by an aerosol dispensing system/mechanism, and to note that 9A120 does not control model aircraft specially designed for recreational or competition purposes. ECCN 9B106 is amended by deleting the imperial measurements of 223 K and 398 K in subparagraphs a.2.b. and b.2.b in favor of only listing the control parameters in terms of metric measurements. This change is being made because metric measurements are more commonly used by industry. (MTCR Annex Category II: Item 15(B)(4)) This rule change also adds a new note 2 to ECCN 9B106 to clarify the meaning of the term bare table in the context of MTCR-controlled environmental chambers. Before this rule, there was some question by the public regarding what constituted a bare table. This additional note will clarify that a bare table means “a flat table, or surface, with no fixture or fittings.” (MTCR Annex Category II: Item 15(B) Technical Note) Savings Clause Shipments of items removed from eligibility for a License Exception or export or reexport without a license

(NLR)as a result of this regulatory action that were on dock for loading, on lighter, laden aboard an exporting or reexporting carrier, or en route aboard a carrier to a port of export or reexport, on July 31, 2006, pursuant to actual orders for export or reexport to a foreign destination, may proceed to that destination under the previous eligibility for a License Exception or export or reexport without a license

(NLR)so long as they are exported or reexported before August 30, 2006. Any such items not actually exported or reexported before midnight, on August 30, 2006, require a license in accordance with this rule. Although the Export Administration Act expired on August 20, 2001, the President, through Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001, 3 CFR, 2001 Comp., p. 783 (2002), as extended by the Notice of August 2, 2005, 70 FR 45273 (August 5, 2005), has continued the Export Administration Regulations in effect under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Rulemaking Requirements 1. This final rule has been determined to be not significant for purposes of E.O. 12866. 2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is required to respond to, nor shall any 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 Office of Management and Budget Control Number. This rule contains a collection of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 *et seq.* ). This collection has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget under control number 0694-0088, “Multi-Purpose Application,” which carries a burden hour estimate of 58 minutes for a manual or electronic submission. BIS anticipates a slight decrease in license applications submitted as a result of this rule. 3. This rule does not contain policies with federalism implications as that term is defined under E.O. 13132. 4. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for public participation, and a delay in effective date, are inapplicable because this regulation involves a military and foreign affairs function of the United States (5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). Further, no other law requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment be given for this final rule. Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment are not required to be given for this rule under the Administrative Procedure Act or by any other law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 *et seq.* ) are not applicable. Therefore, this regulation is issued in final form. Although there is no formal comment period, public comments on this regulation are welcome on a continuing basis. Comments should be submitted to Timothy Mooney, Office of Exporter Services, Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 273, Washington, DC 20044.
