Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH
(AHD) Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH (AHD) Model MBB-BK117 C-2 and
MBB-BK117 D-2 helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of
increased control force in the collective axis. This proposed AD would
require repetitive visual inspections of the main rotor actuator (MRA),
as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD,
which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is
proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Discussion

    The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2018-0283, dated December 20, 2018
(EASA AD 2018-0283), to correct an unsafe condition for AHD Model MBB-
BK117 C-2 and MBB-BK117 D-2 helicopters. EASA later issued EASA AD
2020-0257, dated November 17, 2020 (EASA AD 2020-0257), to supersede
EASA AD 2018-0283.
    This proposed AD was prompted by a report of increased control
force in the collective axis on an AHD Model EC135 helicopter.
Subsequent inspections determined that a nut on a piston of the MRA had
cracked and separated from the piston rod. Due to design similarity,
Model MBB-BK117 C-2 and MBB-BK117 D-2 helicopters are also affected by
this unsafe condition. The FAA is proposing this AD to prevent failure
of the MRA and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter. See the
EASA AD for additional background information.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2020-0257 describes procedures for a repetitive visual
inspection of the MRA and depending on the results, replacing the
affected parts.
    This material is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    These products have been approved by the aviation authority of
another country, and are approved for operation in the United States.
Pursuant to the bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority,
the FAA has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the EASA
AD referenced above. The FAA is proposing this AD after evaluating all
the relevant information and determining the unsafe condition described
previously is likely to exist or develop in other products of these
same type designs.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in EASA AD 2020-0257 described previously, as incorporated by
reference, except for any differences identified as exceptions in the
regulatory text of this proposed AD and except as discussed under
``Differences Between this Proposed AD and the EASA AD.''

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA initially worked with Airbus and EASA to develop a
process to use certain EASA ADs as the primary source of information
for compliance with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has
since coordinated with other manufacturers and civil aviation
authorities (CAAs) to use this process. As a result, EASA AD 2020-0257
will be incorporated by reference in the FAA final rule. This proposed
AD would, therefore, require compliance with EASA AD 2020-0257 in its
entirety, through that incorporation, except for any differences
identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this proposed AD.
Using common terms that are the same as the heading of a particular
section in the EASA AD does not mean that operators need comply only
with that section. For example, where the AD requirement refers to
``all required actions and compliance times,'' compliance with this AD
requirement is not limited to the section titled ``Required Action(s)
and Compliance Time(s)'' in the EASA AD. Service information specified
in EASA AD 2020-0257 that is required for compliance with EASA AD 2020-
0257 will be available on the internet at https://www.regulations.gov
by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2021-0265 after the FAA
final rule is published.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the EASA AD

    The EASA AD requires contacting Airbus Helicopters or replacing an
affected part, whereas this proposed AD would require performing the
corrective action in accordance with FAA-approved procedures or
removing the affected parts from service instead. The service
information referenced in the EASA AD refers to calendar time when
specifying the compliance time for the inspections, whereas this
proposed AD uses hours time-in-service. The EASA AD allows a tolerance
to the compliance times, whereas this proposed AD would not. The EASA
AD does not specify a compliance time for the reporting requirements;
this proposed AD would require performing the reporting action within
30 days after the effective date of this AD.

Interim Action

    The FAA considers this proposed AD interim action. If final action
is later identified, the FAA might consider further rulemaking then.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 216 helicopters of U.S.
Registry. Labor rates are estimated at $85 per work-hour. Based on
these numbers, the FAA estimates that operators may incur the following
costs in order to comply with this proposed AD.
    Inspecting the nuts on the MRA pistons would take about 1 work-hour
for an estimated cost of $85 per helicopter and $18,360 for the U.S.
fleet, per inspection cycle.
    Replacing the MRA would take about 7 work-hours and parts would
cost $286,554 for an estimated cost of $287,149 per helicopter.
    Repairing the MRA would take up to about 8 work hours and parts
would cost about $110 for an estimated cost of up to $790 per MRA.
    If required, reporting information would take about 1 work-hour for
an estimated cost of $85 per instance.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control
number for the collection of information required by this proposed AD
is 2120-0056. The paperwork cost associated with this proposed AD has
been detailed in the Costs of Compliance section of this document and
includes time for reviewing instructions, as well as completing and
reviewing the collection of information. Therefore, all reporting
associated with this proposed AD is mandatory. Comments concerning the
accuracy of this burden and suggestions for reducing the burden should
be directed to Information Collection Clearance Officer, Federal
Aviation Administration, 10101

Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177-1524.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements.
Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight
of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for
practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary
for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to
exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    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]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new
airworthiness directive:

Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH (AHD): Docket No. FAA-2021-0265;
Project Identifier MCAI-2020-01541-R.

(a) Comments Due Date

(b) Affected Airworthiness Directives (ADs)

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to all Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH (AHD)
Model MBB-BK117 C-2 and MBB-BK117 D-2 helicopters, certificated in
any category.

(d) Subject

    Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC) Code: 6710, Main Rotor
Control.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by a report of increased control force in
the collective axis. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent failure
of the main rotor actuator and subsequent loss of control of the
helicopter.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Requirements

    Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all
required actions and compliance times specified in, and in
accordance with, European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD
2020-0257, dated November 17, 2020 (EASA AD 2020-0257).

(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2020-0257

    (1) Where EASA AD 2020-0257 refers to its effective date, this
AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
    (2) Where Note 1 of EASA AD 2020-0257 specifies a tolerance of 3
months may be applied to the initial threshold and to the repetitive
inspection interval, this AD does not allow this tolerance.
    (3) Where paragraph (2) of EASA AD 2020-0257 specifies
contacting Airbus Helicopters, this AD requires performing the
corrective action in accordance with FAA-approved procedures.
    (4) Where paragraph (3) of EASA AD 2020-0257 specifies an
alternative method to comply with the requirements of paragraph (2)
of EASA AD 2020-0257 by replacing an affected part, this AD requires
removing an affected part from service as an alternative method.
    (5) Where paragraph (1) of EASA AD 2020-0257 specifies a
compliance time for the initial inspection of ``before an affected
part exceeds 12 months since new, or since last overhaul, or within
3 months after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs
later'' and repetitive inspections at intervals not to exceed 12
months, this AD requires a compliance time for the initial
inspection of before an affected part exceeds 319 total hours time-
in-service (TIS), or within 319 hours TIS after the date of the last
overhaul, or within 80 hours TIS after the effective date of this
AD, whichever occurs later, and repetitive inspections at intervals
not to exceed 319 hours TIS.
    (6) Although the service information referenced in EASA AD 2020-
0257 does not specify a compliance time for the reporting
requirement, this AD requires the reporting action to be performed
within 30 days after the effective date of this AD.
    (7) The ``Remarks'' section of EASA AD 2020-0257 does not apply
to this AD.

(i) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, International Validation Branch, FAA, has the
authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the
procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19,
send your request to your principal inspector or local Flight
Standards District Office, as appropriate. If sending information

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-64231; File No. SR-ISE-2011-19]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule
Change To Amend ISE Rule 2128 To Extend the Pilot Program

April 7, 2011.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on March 31, 2011, the International Securities Exchange, LLC (the
``Exchange'' or the ``ISE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in
Items I and II below, which items have been prepared by the self-
regulatory organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 2128 (Clearly Erroneous Trades)
to extend the expiration of the pilot rule.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Internet Web site at http://www.ise.com, at the principal office of the
Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The self-regulatory organization
has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B and C below, of the
most significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend ISE Rule 2128 (Clearly Erroneous
Trades) to

extend the expiration of the pilot rule. Amendments to ISE Rule 2128 to
provide for uniform treatment of certain clearly erroneous execution
reviews and transactions that occur before a trading pause is in effect
on the Exchange were approved by the Commission on September 10, 2010
on a pilot basis to end on April 11, 2011.\3\ The Exchange now proposes
to extend the date by which this pilot rule will expire to the earlier
of August 11, 2011 or the date on which the limit up/limit down
mechanism to address extraordinary market volatility, if adopted,
applies. Extending this pilot program will provide the exchanges with a
continued opportunity to assess the effect of this rule proposal on the
markets.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 62886 (September
10, 2010), 75 FR 56613 (September 16, 2010) (SR-ISE-2010-62)
(Extending the pilot period to December 10, 2010); 63481 (December
9, 2010), 75 FR 78275 (December 15, 2010) (Extending the pilot
period to April 11, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The statutory basis for the proposed rule change is Section 6(b)(5)
of the Act,\4\ which requires the rules of an exchange to promote just
and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and perfect
the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system
and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. The
proposed rule change also is designed to support the principles of
Section 11A(a)(1) \5\ of the Act in that it seeks to assure fair
competition among brokers and dealers and among exchange markets. The
Exchange believes that the proposed rule meets these requirements in
that it promotes uniformity across markets concerning decisions
relating to clearly erroneous trades in a security when there are
significant price movements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78k-1(a)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The proposed rule change does not impose any burden on competition
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others

    The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any unsolicited written comments from members or other interested
parties.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \6\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.\7\ The Exchange has asked the Commission to
waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal may become
operative immediately upon filing. The Commission believes that waiving
the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest because such waiver will allow the
pilot program to continue uninterrupted and help ensure uniformity
among the national securities exchanges and FINRA with respect to the
treatment of clearly erroneous transactions.\8\ Accordingly, the
Commission waives the 30-day operative delay requirement and designates
the proposed rule change as operative upon filing with the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \7\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii). In addition, Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) requires that a self-regulatory organization submit to
the Commission written notice of its intent to file the proposed
rule change, along with a brief description and text of the proposed
rule change, at least five business days prior to the filing of the
proposed rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the
Commission. The Commission notes that the Exchange has satisfied
this requirement.
    \8\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay, the
Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency,
competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:
