Adoption of the Amendment Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows: PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES 0 1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows: Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. Sec. 39.13 [Amended] 0 2. The FAA amends Sec. 39.13 by adding the following new AD: 2013-23-05 Fokker Services B.V.: Amendment 39-17660. Docket No. FAA- 2013-0630; Directorate Identifier 2012-NM-213-AD.

(e) Reason This AD was prompted by a design review, which revealed that, under certain failure conditions, wiring in the main fuel tank could develop a short circuit that might cause a hot spot on the wiring conduit or puncture the wiring conduit wall. We are issuing this AD to prevent an ignition source in the main fuel tank vapor space, which could result in a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the airplane. (f) Compliance You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done. (g) Installation of Fuses Within 24 months after the effective date of this AD: Install fuses in the power supply wiring and return wiring, as applicable, for the reed-switches in the main fuel tank overflow valve, level control pilot valve solenoid, re/de-fuel shut off valve solenoid, and the collector-tank low level float switch, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100- 28-068, dated August 10, 2012, including the drawings specified in paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(3) of this AD and the manual change notification specified in paragraph (g)(4) of this AD.
