  <title><![CDATA[  Airworthiness Directives; MD Helicopters, Inc. Model 369A, H, HE,  HM, HS, D, and E Helicopters]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2003-11-25-03-29222</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for 
the specified model helicopters modified with a Helicopter Technology 
Company, LLC, Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) No. SR09172RC, 
SR09074RC, or SR09184RC. This action requires recording on the 
component history card or equivalent record the number of torque events 
(TEs) on each main rotor blade (blade). When a blade accumulates 13,720 
TEs and 750 hours timeinservice (TIS), the AD requires inspecting 
both surfaces of the blade for a crack at specified intervals. If a 
crack is found, the AD also requires replacing the blade with an 
airworthy blade. Also, the AD establishes life limits for certain part
numbered blades. This proposal is prompted by several reports, 
including a recent report dated July 24, 2003, of blade cracks due to a 
high number of TEs per hour. The actions specified in this AD are 
intended to prevent fatigue cracking of the blade, blade failure, and 
subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

  <title><![CDATA[  Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 767-200 and -300 Series  Airplanes]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2003-11-25-03-29340</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness 
directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Boeing Model 767200 and 
300 series airplanes. This proposal would require replacement of 
certain doormounted escape slides and slideraft assemblies with new 
slideraft assemblies; replacement of certain escape system latches 
with new latches; and modification or replacement of certain 
counterbalance assemblies with new counterbalance assemblies; as 
applicable. This action is necessary to prevent the escape slides and 
sliderafts of the forward and midcabin entry and service doors from 
being too short to reach the ground in the event that the airplane 
rotates onto the aft fuselage, resulting in an extreme tipback 
position, which could result in injury to passengers and crewmembers 
during an emergency evacuation. This action is intended to address the 
identified unsafe condition.

  <title><![CDATA[  Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 707 and 720 Series  Airplanes]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2003-11-25-03-29341</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness 
directive (AD) that is applicable to all Boeing Model 707 and 720 
series airplanes. This proposed AD would require inspection of the bolt 
forward of the wing front spar upper chord on the overwing support 
fittings of the inboard and outboard nacelle struts to verify that 
BACB30US type bolts are installed. If any other type of bolt is found, 
this proposed AD would require replacement with a new BACB30US type 
bolt. This action is necessary to prevent separation of the engine from 
the airplane due to stress corrosion cracking and consequent fracturing 
of the bolts. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe 
condition.

  <title><![CDATA[  Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 777-200 Series Airplanes]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2003-11-25-03-29342</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness 
directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Boeing Model 777200 
series airplanes. This proposal would require a onetime general visual 
inspection of wire bundles routed aft of electrical disconnect panel 
AC2162 to determine their installation and separation, and corrective 
actions, if necessary. This action is necessary to prevent damage to 
the stabilizer cutout circuit wires in the bundles due to contact 
between the bundles and the adjacent galley water drain tube and 
hydraulic tubes, which if followed by active fault in stabilizer 
command circuit, could result in undesired stabilizer motion that 
cannot be stopped, and could lead to loss of pitch control and loss of 
control of the airplane. This action is intended to address the 
identified unsafe condition.

  <title><![CDATA[  Pipeline Safety: Self-Assessment of Pipeline Operator Public  Education Programs]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2003-11-25-03-29392</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ RSPA's Office of Pipeline Safety (RSPA/OPS) is issuing this 
advisory bulletin to owners and operators of hazardous liquid 
pipelines, gas transmission pipelines, gas distribution pipeline 
systems and gathering pipeline systems regulated under the Federal 
pipeline safety regulations at 49 CFR Parts 192 and 195. In an advisory 
bulletin issued September 5, 2003 (68 FR 52816) RSPA/OPS noted that the 
Pipeline Safety Improvement Act of 2002 (PSIA) requires each owner or 
operator of a gas or hazardous liquid pipeline system to implement a 
continuous public education program on the use of onecall notification 
systems and other damage prevention activities, the indications of and 
hazards of an unintended release of product from a pipeline, the public 
safety steps required after a release, and how to report pipeline 
product releases. This advisory reminds pipeline operators that they 
must complete and submit selfassessments of their public education 
programs to RSPA/OPS for receipt no later than December <script type="text/javascript">
