JAL has introduced an improved flap torque tube shaft assembly that includes universal joints that are not life limited. The Federal Aviation Administration's policy on aging commuter-class aircraft is to eliminate or, in certain instances, reduce the number of certain repetitive short-interval inspections when improved parts or modifications are available. This action requires installing this improved flap torque shaft assembly in place of the repetitive inspection and life limit requirements of the two existing AD's. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of the flap torque assembly, which could result in asymmetric flap deployment and loss of control of the airplane. DATES: Effective December 1, 1995. The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of December 1, 1995. ADDRESSES: Service information that applies to this AD may be obtained from Jetstream Aircraft Limited, Manager Product Support, Prestwick Airport, Ayrshire, KA9 2RW Scotland; telephone (44-292) 79888; facsimile (44-292) 79703; or Jetstream Aircraft Inc., Librarian, P.O. Box 16029, Dulles International Airport, Washington, DC, 20041-6029; telephone (703) 406-1161; facsimile (703) 406-1469. This information may also be examined at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Central Region, Office of the Assistant Chief Counsel, Room 1558, 601 E. 12th Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64106; or at the Office of the Federal Register, 800 North Capitol Street, NW., suite 700, Washington, DC. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Raymond A. Stoer, Program Officer, Brussels Aircraft Certification Office, FAA, Europe, Africa, and Middle East Office, c/o American Embassy, B-1000 Brussels, Belgium; telephone (322) 513.3830; facsimile (322) 230.6899; or Mr. John P. Dow, Sr., Project Officer, Small Airplane Directorate, Airplane Certification Service, FAA, 1201 Walnut, suite 900, Kansas City, Missouri 64106; telephone (816) 426-6932; facsimile (816) 426-2169. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A proposal to amend part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to include an AD that would apply to certain JAL HP 137 Mk1, Jetstream series 200, and Jetstream Models 3101 and 3201 airplanes was published in the Federal Register on July 12, 1994 (59 FR 35490). The action proposed to supersede both AD 87-04-04 and AD 89-16-02 with a new AD that would require installing this improved flap torque shaft assembly in place of the repetitive inspection and life limit requirements of the two existing AD's. The proposed actions would be accomplished in accordance with Jetstream Aircraft Limited Service Bulletin No. 27-JA 920340. Interested persons have been afforded an opportunity to participate in the making of this amendment. No comments were received on the proposed rule or the FAA's determination of the cost to the public. After careful review of all available information, the FAA has determined that air safety and the public interest require the adoption of the rule as proposed except for minor editorial corrections. The FAA has determined that these minor corrections will not change the meaning of the AD nor add any additional burden upon the public than was already proposed. This action is based on the FAA's aging commuter-class aircraft policy. This policy simply states that airplane owners/operators should incorporate a known design change when it could eliminate, or, in certain instances, reduce the number of critical repetitive inspections. This final rule action has an effective date of approximately 12 months after publication in the Federal Register and a compliance time of 50 hours time-in-service after the effective date. This will allow operators time to schedule the flap torque shaft assembly replacement. The requirements of AD 87-04-04 and AD 89-16-02 will still apply until the effective date of this AD or until the installation or modification required by this AD is accomplished, whichever occurs first. The FAA estimates that 245 airplanes in the U.S. registry will be affected by this AD, that it will take approximately 31 workhours per airplane to accomplish the required action, and that the average labor rate is approximately $55 an hour. Parts cost approximately $1,010 per airplane. Based on these figures, the total cost impact of this AD on U.S. operators is estimated to be $665,175. This figure is based on the assumption that no affected airplane operator has accomplished the required actions. In addition, this action eliminates the need for the repetitive inspections required by AD 87-04-04 and AD 89-16-02. The FAA has no way of determining the operation levels of each individual operator of the affected airplanes, and subsequently cannot determine the repetitive inspection costs that will be eliminated by the required action. The FAA estimates these costs to be substantial over the long-term. The regulations adopted herein will not have substantial direct effects 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, in accordance with Executive Order 12612, it is determined that this final rule does not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant the preparation of a Federalism Assessment. 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 copy of the final evaluation prepared for this action is contained in the Rules Docket. A copy of it may be obtained by contacting 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.
