The NPRM published in the Federal Register on April 26, 2021 (86 FR 21967). \n The NPRM was prompted by a design review that identified rib 0 of the CWB as an area where a \n single failure of a clamshell type refuel/defuel line coupling could potentially lead to the \n accumulation of dangerous levels of electrostatic charges within the fuel tank. The NPRM proposed \n to require replacing the clamshell type refuel/defuel line coupling in the CWB at rib 0 with a threaded \n type fuel coupling, and installing an additional support bracket and clamp in the CWB at rib 0, as \n specified in TCCA AD CF-2020-04. \n The FAA is issuing this AD to address failure of a clamshell type refuel/defuel line coupling, \n which could lead to fuel tank ignition.
