Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Corporation (Formerly Allison Engine Company) AE 2100 Turboprop and AE 3007

Fri, Aug 31 2001 11:00:00 GMT

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), that is applicable to RollsRoyce Corporation (formerly Allison Engine Company) AE 2100 turboprop and AE 3007 turbofan series engines. This amendment requires a onetime acid etch inspection of the 2nd stage high pressure turbine (HPT) wheel for evidence of damaged material indicating that a higher probability of cracking in future service exists. If the etch inspection reveals damage, this AD requires replacement of the turbine wheel with a serviceable part. This amendment is prompted by a report of a 2nd stage HPT wheel that was returned from the field with cracks in the aft bore face. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect and prevent early development of cracks due to low cycle fatigue of the 2nd stage HPT wheel in the aft bore face that can lead to wheel failure, power loss, and possible damage to the airplane.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A319, A320, and A321 Series Airplanes

Fri, Aug 31 2001 11:00:00 GMT

This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Airbus Model A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. This proposal would require replacement of the trigger spring of the slide bar on each of the passenger doors with a new, stronger trigger spring. This action is necessary to prevent corrosion of the trigger spring on the slide bar of the passenger doors, which could result in incorrect locking of the slide bar and, during deployment of the escape slide, lead to a delay in evacuating passengers in an emergency. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A330 Series Airplanes

Fri, Aug 31 2001 11:00:00 GMT

This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Airbus Model A330 series [[Page 45952]]
airplanes. This proposal would require removal of the shear pins that keep the rear fixed panels on the center landing gear closed and installation of new solid shear pins. This action is prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness information from a foreign airworthiness authority. This action is necessary to prevent the shear pins on the rear fixed panels of the center landing gear from failing, which could result in loss of the panels during flight with consequent injury to people on the ground. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.

Airworthiness Directives; McDonnell Douglas Model MD-90-30 Series Airplanes

Fri, Aug 31 2001 11:00:00 GMT

This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain McDonnell Douglas Model MD9030 series airplanes. This proposal would require an inspection of the aft galley power feeder wire assembly for riding, chafing, and damage located above the main cabin, left side, overwing ceiling panels; and followon actions. This action is necessary to prevent damage to the electrical wire insulation of the aft galley power feeder wires, electrical arcing, and potential smoke and/or fire. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.

Fri, Aug 31 2001 11:00:00 GMT

The Maritime Administration (``MARAD,'' ``we,'' ``our,'' or ``us'') is publishing this interim final rule amending our regulations implementing the new U.S. citizenship requirements set forth in the American Fisheries Act of 1998 (``AFA''). MARAD's regulation, [[Page 45946]]
at 46 CFR Part 356, contains the substantive requirements mandated by the AFA and procedural requirements established by MARAD for administration of the AFA. We are promulgating an amendment which provides us with the ability to waive any procedural requirement, if there is good cause to do so and the waiver would not be inconsistent with the AFA and the intent of this part. The waiver provision is effective upon publication, but we are inviting comments on the provision.

Agency Information Collection; Activity Under OMB Review; Reporting the Causes of Airline Cancellations and Delays

Fri, Aug 31 2001 11:00:00 GMT

In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 10413, the BTS invites the general public, industry and other governmental parties to comment on air carriers voluntarily reporting on the causes of cancellations and delays of domestic scheduled passenger flights. The voluntary data submission would be used to identify specific problem areas within the national aviation system. By classifying causes of delays into four categories and causes of cancellations into three categories, the Department of Transportation (DOT) would be able to readily identify problem areas within the air transport system. With this knowledge, the DOT should be able to address the airline delays and cancellations within its control.

The DOT is in the process of submitting an emergency request to OMB to allow BTS to collect the voluntary causal data. BTS estimates that participating air carriers will be ready to begin voluntary reporting in early November, thus BTS is seeking
