14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. 97-NM-313-AD; Amendment 39-12875; AD 94-09-11 R1]
RIN 2120-AA64


Airworthiness Directives; Raytheon Model BAe.125 Series 1000A 
Airplanes and Model Hawker 1000 Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; rescission.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This amendment rescinds an existing airworthiness directive 
(AD), applicable to certain Raytheon Model BAe.125 Series 1000A 
Airplanes and Model Hawker 1000 airplanes. That AD currently requires 
inspections of the thrust reverser system for integrity, and correction 
of any discrepancy found. The requirements of that AD were intended to 
prevent a significant reduction in the controllability of the airplane 
due to an in-flight deployment of a thrust reverser. Since the issuance 
of that AD, the FAA has issued a separate AD that requires the 
accomplishment of modifications that terminate the requirements of the 
existing AD.

DATES: Effective September 3, 2002.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A proposal to amend part 39 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to rescind an airworthiness 
directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Raytheon Model BAe.125 
Series 1000A and Hawker 1000 series airplanes was published in the 
Federal Register on September 10, 1999 (64 FR 49112). That action 
proposed the rescission of AD 94-09-11, amendment 39-8900 (59 FR 22125, 
April 29, 1994), in order to prevent operators from performing an 
unnecessary action.

Comments

    Interested persons have been afforded an opportunity to participate 
in the making of this amendment. No comments were received in response 
to the proposal.

Conclusion

    After careful review of the available data, the FAA has determined 
that air safety and the public interest require the rescission of the 
rule as proposed, with the exception of the change to applicability.

Explanation of Change to Applicability

    The FAA has revised the applicability of this final rule to 
identify model designations as published in the most recent type 
certificate data sheet for the affected models.

Regulatory Impact

    The regulations adopted herein will not have a substantial direct 
effect 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, it 
is determined that this final rule does not have federalism 
implications under Executive Order 13132.
    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 final evaluation has been prepared for this action 
and it is contained in the Rules Docket. A copy of it may be obtained 
from the Rules Docket at the location provided under the caption 
ADDRESSES.
