[Docket No. 98-CE-100-AD; Amendment 39-10974; AD 99-01-07]
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) 99-01-07, which applies to certain British Aerospace 
Jetstream Model 3101 airplanes. AD 99-01-07 requires installing 
additional stringers at the lower fuselage skin panels between the main 
and rear spar frames. 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 strength deficiency in the area of the lower fuselage skin 
panels between the main rear spar frames, which, if not corrected, 
could result in reduced or loss of control of the airplane during 
maximum speed limit operations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 19, 1999.

Engineer, FAA, Small Airplane Directorate, 1201 Walnut, suite 900,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA published this direct final rule 
with request for comments in the Federal Register on December 31, 1998 
(63 FR 72139). 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.

Acting Manager, Small Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification 
Service.
