Title: Airworthiness Directives; Dornier Model 328-100 Series Airplanes
CFR: 14 CFR Part 39
Summary: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD),
applicable to certain Dornier Model 328-100 series airplanes, that
requires a one-time visual inspection to detect cracking in the axle
adapter of the shock absorber of the nose landing gear (NLG), and
corrective actions, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by
issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign
civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are
intended to correct cracking in the axle adapter of the shock absorber
of the NLG, which could result in failure of the NLG and consequent
damage to the airplane structure.
Action: Final rule.
Date-Time: Effective August 12, 1998.

Title: Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A300, A310, A300-600
Series Airplanes
CFR: 14 CFR Part 39
Summary: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD),
applicable to certain Airbus Model A300, A310, and A300-600 series
airplanes. This amendment requires a one-time operational test and
repetitive functional tests of the free fall control mechanism of the
landing gear to ensure proper release of the main landing gear (MLG),
and corrective action, if necessary. This amendment also requires
eventual modification of the free fall control mechanism of the landing
gear, which constitutes terminating action for the repetitive
functional tests. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory
continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness
authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent
malfunction of the free fall control mechanism of the landing gear,
which could result in the inability to extend the MLG in the event of
failure of the hydraulic extension system.
Action: Final rule.

Title: Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A319, A320, and A321
Series Airplanes
CFR: 14 CFR Part 39
Summary: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD),
applicable to all Airbus Model A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes,
that requires repetitive inspections for discrepancies of the lock bolt
for the pintle pin on the main landing gear (MLG), and follow-on
corrective actions, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by
issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign
civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are
intended to detect and correct a rotated, damaged, or missing lock
bolt, which could result in disengagement of the pintle pin from the
bearing, and consequent collapse of the MLG during landing.
Action: Final rule.

in airworthiness directive (AD) 98-07-26, which was published in the
Federal Register on April 6, 1998 (63 FR 16681). The typographical
errors resulted in a reference to an incorrect part number and
incorrect section of the referenced service information. This AD is
applicable to certain Boeing Model 767 series airplanes. This AD
requires detailed visual inspection(s) for damage or chafing of certain
electrical wire bundles and for clearance between the wire bundles and
adjacent forward galley air chiller; and follow-on corrective actions.

Title: Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 747 Series Airplanes
CFR: 14 CFR Part 39
Summary: This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive
(AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 747 series airplanes, that
currently requires disconnection of the electrical connector to the
scavenge pump of the center wing tank. That AD also requires a one-time
inspection to identify the part number of the electrical connector; and
replacement of the pump with a new or serviceable pump, if necessary.
This amendment requires a one-time inspection to identify the part
number of the scavenge pump motor-impeller unit; and corrective action,
if necessary. This amendment is prompted by a report of damage to the
internal wiring of a scavenge pump that had been replaced in accordance
with the existing AD. The actions specified in this AD are intended to
prevent potential failures within the electrical motor assembly of the
scavenge pump, which could result in leakage of fuel from the
electrical connector into the main landing gear wheel well, or
electrical arcing within the scavenge pump motor; these conditions
could result in a fuel fire in the wheel well.
Action: Final rule; request for comments.

Title: Airworthiness Directives; Raytheon Aircraft Company Models 1900,
1900C, and 1900D Airplanes
CFR: 14 CFR Part 39
Summary: This document proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive
(AD) 97-14-16, which currently requires repetitively inspecting the
flap aft roller bearings and flap attachment brackets for indications
of contact (wear), inspecting for elongation of the holes in the flap
attachment brackets, repairing or replacing any part showing wear, and
replacing any bracket with elongated holes on Raytheon Aircraft Company
(Raytheon) Models 1900, 1900C, and 1900D airplanes. The proposed AD
would retain the actions required in AD 97-14-16, and would increase
the number of repetitive inspections by reducing the number of ground-
air-ground (GAG) cycles allowed between inspections. The proposed AD
would also lower the total GAG cycles accumulated before the required
initial inspection. The actions specified by the proposed AD are
intended to prevent asymmetric flaps, jammed flaps, and/or possible
interference between the flap and the aileron, which could inhibit
aileron travel and result in possible loss of roll control of the
airplane.
Action: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
Date-Time: Comments must be received on or before September 18, 1998.

the Board of Oil, Gas and Mining with respect to property right
disputes. Utah also proposes to revise provisions applicable to a
permit applicant's list of violations of air and water protection at
subsection (3) of section 40-10-11 in response to an amendment required
by OSM and described at 30 CFR 944.16(f)(2).
The amendment is intended to revise the Utah program to be
consistent with the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977
(SMCRA) regulations and to improve operational efficiency.

Title: Final Environmental Assessment for BRAC 95 Disposal and Reuse of
Fort Missoula, MT
Summary: In accordance with Pub. L. 101-510 (as amended), the Defense
Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990, the Defense Base Closure and
Realignment Commission recommended the closure of Fort Missoula,
Montana.
The Final Environmental Assessment (EA) evaluates the environmental
impacts of the disposal and subsequent reuse of the 52 acres.
Alternatives examined in the EA include encumbered disposal of the
property, unencumbered disposal of the property, and no action.
Encumbered disposal refers to transfer or conveyance of property having
restrictions on subsequent use as a result of any Army-imposed or legal
restraint. Under the no action alternative, the Army would not dispose
of property but would maintain it in caretaker status for an indefinite
period.
While disposal of Fort Missoula is the Army's primary action, the
EA also analyzes the potential environmental effects of reuse as a
secondary action by means of evaluating intensity-based reuse
scenarios. The Army's preferred alternative for disposal of Fort
Missoula property is encumbered disposal, with encumbrances pertaining
to the possible presence of lead-based paint and asbestos-containing
material, and the requirement for a right of reentry for environmental
clean-up.
...
Action: Notice of availability.
Date-Time: Comments must be submitted on August 7, 1998. Comments received
on this EA will be considered by the Army prior to initiating action.

Title: Proposed Implementation of the Defense Table of Official
Distances (DTOD) for Passenger Transportation and Travel Services
Summary: The Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC), as the Program
Director for the Department of Defense (DoD), intends to utilize a new
automated distance calculation product known as the Defense Table of
Distances (DTOD) as part of the Groups Operational Passenger System
(GOPAX). The DTOD will replace existing distance calculation products
used within the DoD, such as DoD Official Table of Distances. The DTOD
will become the DoD standard source for distance information worldwide.
Commercially, DTOD is known as PC*MILER by ALK Associates, Inc.
Carriers may continue to use other mileage sources for preparation of
Offers of Service, and for their own business purposes. However, the
DTOD/PC*MILER will be the DoD Standard for all distance calculations,
analysis or audits for transportation services billed on a per mile
(mileage) basis. Carriers and passenger service providers participating
in the DoD passenger transportation and travel services programs must
agree to be bound by the DTOD/PC*MILER distance calculations for
payment and audit purposes.

Title: Notice of Proposed Withdrawal and Intent To Prepare a Planning
Amendment to the Lahontan Resource Management Plan; Nevada
Summary: The Bureau of Land Management proposes to withdraw 15,757.14
acres of reserved Federal minerals from mining and 166,906.28 acres of
public lands from surface entry and mining, but not from sales,
exchanges, recreation and public purposes, or mineral leasing to
protect scenic and recreation values. This notice closes the lands from
settlement, sale, location, and entry under the general land laws,
including the mining laws, but not from sales, exchanges, recreation
and public purposes, or mineral leasing. In addition, any non-Federal
lands acquired through exchange, donation, or purchase within the
boundaries of the described plan area would be closed to surface entry
and mining during the 2-year period and would become part of the
proposed withdrawal.
The Carson City District of the Bureau of Land Management proposes
to amend the Lahontan Resource Management Plan to address future
management of these same lands. The resource management plan amendment
process will serve as the basis for decisions on resource protection
and development and the need for a withdrawal. The Bureau of Land
Management and Washoe County are cooperating in the preparation of this
resource management plan amendment.
Action: Notice.
Date-Time: Comments should be received on or before October 6, 1998.
