Michelin North America, Inc., Receipt of Petition for Decision of Inconsequential Noncompliance

Mon, Dec 22 2003 11:00:00 GMT

Michelin North America, Inc. (Michelin), has determined that certain tires it manufactured do not comply with S4.3(d) of 49 CFR 571.109, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 109, ``New pneumatic tires.'' Michelin has filed an appropriate report pursuant to 49 CFR Part 573, ``Defect and Noncompliance Reports.''

[[Page 71223]]

Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h), Michelin has petitioned for an exemption from the notification and remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C. Chapter 301 on the basis that this noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety.

This notice of receipt of Michelin's petition is published under 49 U.S.C. 30118 and 30120 and does not represent any agency decision or other exercise of judgment concerning the merits of the petition.

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Denial of Petition For Rulemaking

Mon, Dec 22 2003 11:00:00 GMT

NHTSA believes that the rulemaking is unnecessary because granting the proposed amendments would not result in a substantive change in the performance requirements of the standard nor change the way that both the manufacturers and the agency may test the vehicle.

Re-Issuance of NASA FAR Supplement Parts 1813 Through 1817

Mon, Dec 22 2003 11:00:00 GMT

This proposed rule would amend the NASA FAR Supplement (NFS) by removing from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) those portions of the NFS containing information that consists of internal Agency administrative procedures and guidance that does not control the relationship between NASA and contractors or prospective contractors. This change is consistent with the guidance and policy in FAR part 1 regarding what comprises the Federal Acquisition Regulations System and requires publication for public comment. The NFS document will continue to contain both information requiring codification in the CFR and internal Agency guidance in a single document that is available on the Internet. This change will reduce the administrative burden and time associated with maintaining the NFS by only publishing in the Federal Register for codification in the CFR material that is subject to public comment.

Mon, Dec 22 2003 11:00:00 GMT

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a proposal to change a portion of the airport from aeronautical use to nonaeronautical use and to authorize the sale of the airport property. The proposal consists of 3 parcels of land totaling approximately 16.33 acres. Current use and present condition is vacant grassland.

Proposed Amendment to Class E Airspace; Philadelphia, PA

Mon, Dec 22 2003 11:00:00 GMT

The development of Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAP) based on area navigation (RNAV) to serve flights into Spitfire Aerodrome (7N7) under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) has made this proposal necessary.

Airworthiness Directives; McDonnell Douglas Model DC-9-10, DC-9- 20, DC-9-30, DC-9-40, and DC-9-50 Series Airplanes

Mon, Dec 22 2003 11:00:00 GMT

This document revises an earlier proposed airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain McDonnell Douglas Model DC910, DC920, DC930, DC940, and DC950 series airplanes, and C9
(military) airplanes, that would have superseded an existing AD that currently requires repetitive ultrasonic or magnetic particle inspections to detect cracking of the engine pylon aft upper spar straps (caps); and if necessary, replacement of the strap with a new strap, or modification of the engine pylon rear spar straps, which constitutes terminating action for the repetitive inspections. The proposed AD also would have required new, improved repetitive ultrasonic inspections, and corrective actions if necessary. The proposed AD also would have required, among other items, a terminating action for the repetitive inspection requirements. This new action revises the proposed rule by adding airplanes to the applicability. The actions specified by this new proposed AD are intended to detect and correct such fatigue

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 757-200 and -200CB Series Airplanes

Mon, Dec 22 2003 11:00:00 GMT

This document proposes the supersedure of an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 757 200 series airplanes, that currently requires modifications to the attachment installation of the forward lavatory. This action would add airplanes to the applicability of the existing AD. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent failure of the attachment installation of the forward lavatory during an emergency landing, which could result in injury to the crew and passengers. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition. [[Page 71052]]

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 777 Series Airplanes

Mon, Dec 22 2003 11:00:00 GMT

This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Boeing Model 777 series airplanes. This proposal would require an inspection to determine the part number of the filter/regulator on the fire extinguishing system installed in the lower cargo compartment of the airplane, and replacement of the filter/regulator with a new filter/regulator, if necessary. This action is necessary to prevent leakage of fire extinguishing agent through the filter/regulator of the cargo fire extinguishing system, which could result in the inability of the fire extinguishing system to suppress a fire in the cargo compartment of the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
