[Docket No. 98-CE-99-AD; Amendment 39-10973; AD 99-01-06]
RIN 2120-AA64
Airworthiness Directives; British Aerospace Jetstream Model 3101
Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action confirms the effective date of Airworthiness
Directive (AD) 99-01-06, which applies to certain British Aerospace
Jetstream Model 3101 airplanes. AD 99-01-06 requires installing a
standard bonding socket that is fitted flush with the upper surface of
each wing at the fueling points (Station 297). This AD is the result of
mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the
airworthiness authority for the United Kingdom. The actions specified
in this AD are intended to correct a potentially insufficient ground
contact between the refueler hose nozzle and the aircraft, which, if
not corrected before the fuel cap is removed, could result in sparks
with a consequent fire and/or explosion in the fuel tank.
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 19, 1999.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. S.M. Nagarajan, Aerospace
Engineer, FAA, Small Airplane Directorate, 1201 Walnut, suite 900,
Kansas City, Missouri 64106; telephone: (816) 426-6932; facsimile:
(816) 426-2169.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA published this direct final rule
with request for comments in the Federal Register on December 31, 1998
(63 FR 72141). The FAA uses the direct final rulemaking procedure for a
non-controversial rule where the FAA anticipates that there will be no
adverse public comment. This direct final rule advised the public that
no adverse comments were anticipated, and that unless a written adverse
comment, or a written notice of intent to submit such an adverse
comment, was received within the comment period, the regulation would
become effective on March 19, 1999. No adverse comments were received,
and thus this notice confirms that this final rule will become
effective on that date.
Issued in Kansas City, Missouri, on February 22, 1999.

Manager, Small Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification Service.
