14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2006-26234; Directorate Identifier 2006-CE-064-AD;
Amendment 39-15983; AD 2007-03-17 R1
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; SOCATA Model TBM 700 Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are revising an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for
the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an
aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

    This Airworthiness Directive (AD) was prompted by reports of
loose rivets on frames C18 BIS and C19, which could result in a
reduced structural integrity of the tail area.

We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective September 9, 2009.
    On September 9, 2009, the Director of the Federal Register approved
the

incorporation by reference of SOCATA TBM Aircraft Mandatory Service
Bulletin SB 70-129, AMENDMENT 1, dated February 2009, listed in this
AD.
    As of March 15, 2007 (72 FR 5923, February 8, 2007), the Director
of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of
SOCATA TBM Aircraft Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 70-129, dated June
2005, listed in this AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on May 12, 2009 (74 FR
22125), and proposed to revise AD 2007-03-17, Amendment 39-14928 (72 FR
5923, February 8, 2007).
    Since we issued AD 2007-03-17, EADS SOCATA revised the service
bulletin used in the AD to change the applicability.
    The NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states that:

    This Airworthiness Directive (AD) was prompted by reports of
loose rivets on frames C18 BIS and C19, which could result in a
reduced structural integrity of the tail area.

This MCAI requires you to inspect the rivets on frames C18 BIS and C19,
and, if necessary, apply corrective actions. You may obtain further
information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comment received.

Comment Issue: Required Work-Hours and Labor Cost

    SOCATA comments that the initial inspection would take 0.5 work-
hour. If necessary, rivets replacement would never take more than 5
work-hours. If parts are necessary, only rivets and shims are required,
and their cost is negligible.
    We agree with SOCATA, and we will revise the basic requirement
work-hours estimate from 3 work-hours to 1 work-hour. We will also
revise the follow-on work-hours from 15 hours to 5 hours and revise the
follow-on parts cost from $2,000 to $5 per product per SOCATA's
comments.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the
AD with the changes described previously. We determined that these
changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or
increase the scope of the AD.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a note within the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 272 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $80 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of
this AD to the U.S. operators to be $21,760, or $80 per product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions would
take about 5 work-hours and require parts costing $5 for a cost of $405
per product. We have no way of determining the number of products that
may need these actions.

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.
    We are 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

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD 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.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this AD:
    (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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD Docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Management Facility
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the ADDRESSES
section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly after
receipt.

Adoption of the Amendment

0
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 removing AD 2007-03-17, Amendment 39-
14928 (72 FR 5923, February 8, 2007) and adding the following new AD:

2007-03-17 R1 SOCATA: Amendment 39-15983; Docket No. FAA-2006-26234;
Directorate Identifier 2006-CE-064-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective
September 9, 2009.

Affected ADs

    (b) This AD revises AD 2007-03-17, Amendment 39-14928 (72 FR
5923, February 8, 2007).

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to TBM 700 airplanes, serial numbers 1
through 345, certificated in any category.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 53:
Fuselage.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
    This Airworthiness Directive (AD) was prompted by reports of
loose rivets on frames C18 BIS and C19, which could result in a
reduced structural integrity of the tail area.

This MCAI requires you to inspect the rivets on frames C18 BIS and
C19, and, if necessary, apply corrective actions. You may obtain
further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, within the next 100 hours time-in-
service (TIS) after September 9, 2009 (the effective date of this
AD) or within the next 12 months after September 9, 2009 (the
effective date of this AD), whichever occurs later, and repetitively
thereafter at intervals not to exceed every 100 hours TIS, do a
detailed inspection of the area and apply corrective actions, as
necessary. Follow the accomplishment instructions of either SOCATA
TBM Aircraft Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 70-129, dated June 2005
or SOCATA TBM Aircraft Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 70-129,
AMENDMENT 1, dated February 2009.

FAA AD Differences

    Note: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information
as follows: SOCATA revised the service bulletin used in AD 2007-03-
17, Amendment 39-14928 (72 FR 5923, February 8, 2007). The revised
service bulletin changes the applicability of the airplanes from
what was in the original service bulletin. The MCAI has not been
revised and allows the use of ``Any subsequent approved revision of
this document is acceptable'' for service bulletin revisions. The
FAA AD does not have a similar provision. This revised AD changes
the Applicability section based on the revised service bulletin.

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (g) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
Standards Office, FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this
AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send
information to ATTN: Albert Mercado, Aerospace Engineer, FAA, Small
Airplane Directorate, 901 Locust, Room 301, Kansas City, Missouri
64106; telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>. Before using
any approved AMOC on any airplane to which the AMOC applies, notify
your appropriate principal inspector (PI) in the FAA Flight
Standards District Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local FSDO.
    (2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain
corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these
actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered
FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority
(or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product
is airworthy before it is returned to service.
    (3) Reporting Requirements: For any reporting requirement in
this AD, under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et.seq.), the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has
approved the information collection requirements and has assigned
OMB Control Number 2120-0056.

    This constitutes notice, in accordance with 18 CFR 385.2201(b), of
the receipt of prohibited and exempt off-the-record communications.
    Order No. 607 (64 FR 51222, September 22, 1999) requires Commission
decisional employees, who make or receive a prohibited or exempt off-
the-record communication relevant to the merits of a contested
proceeding, to deliver to the Secretary of the Commission, a copy of
the communication, if written, or a summary of the substance of any
oral communication.
    Prohibited communications are included in a public, non-decisional
file associated with, but not a part of, the decisional record of the
proceeding. Unless the Commission determines that the prohibited
communication and any responses thereto should become a part of the
decisional record, the prohibited off-the-record communication will not
be considered by the Commission in reaching its decision. Parties to a
proceeding may seek the opportunity to respond to any facts or
contentions made in a prohibited off-the-record communication, and may
request that the Commission place the prohibited communication and
responses thereto in the decisional record. The Commission will grant
such a request only when it determines that fairness so requires. Any
person identified below as having made a prohibited off-the-record
communication shall serve the document on all parties listed on the
official service list for the applicable proceeding in accordance with
Rule 2010, 18 CFR 385.2010.
    Exempt off-the-record communications are included in the decisional
record of the proceeding, unless the communication was with a
cooperating agency as described by 40 CFR 1501.6, made under 18 CFR
385.2201(e) (1) (v).
    The following is a list of off-the-record communications recently
received by the Secretary of the Commission. The communications listed
are grouped by docket numbers in ascending order. These filings are

at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>(866) 208-3676 (toll free), or (202)
502-8659 (TTY). In lieu of electronic filing, please send a paper copy
to: Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street
NE, Washington, DC 20426. The first page of any filing should include
docket number P-3777-011.
    m. The application is not ready for environmental analysis at this
time.
    n. The existing Rollinsford Project consists of: (1) A 385-foot
long, 19-foot-high concrete-masonry dam that includes: (i) A 255-foot-
long spillway section topped with 15-inch-high flashboards, and (ii) an
82-foot-long, 52-foot-wide intake headworks section that includes five,
5.5-foot-high by 5.5-foot-wide vertical lift gates, one penstock intake
protected by a 22.8-foot-wide by 15.7-foot-high trash rack structure
with 2.5-inch clear bar spacing, one 8-foot-wide skimmer waste gate,
and one 4-foot-wide by 4-foot-high inoperable sluice gate; (2) an 82-
acre impoundment at a normal maximum elevation of 71.25 feet National
Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29), including the spillway
flashboards; (3) a 600-foot-long, 10-foot diameter concrete penstock
with a 250-foot-long, 9-foot diameter steel sleeve that directs flow
from the intake headworks to a 40-foot-wide, 30-foot-long reinforced
concrete forebay that is integral with the powerhouse; (4) a 60-foot-
wide, 38-foot-long concrete and brick masonry powerhouse containing two
Francis turbine-generator units for a total installed capacity of 1,500
kilowatts; (5) a 38-foot-long, 34-foot-wide tailrace channel at a
normal tailwater elevation of 24 feet NGVD 29; (6) a 100-foot-long
underground transmission line; and (7) appurtenant facilities.
    The Town voluntarily operates the project in a run-of-river mode
using an automatic pond level control system,

such that outflow from the project approximates inflow. The project
bypasses approximately 680 feet of the Salmon Falls River. The existing
license requires the licensee to release: (1) A continuous minimum flow
of 10 cubic feet per second (cfs) or inflow, whichever is less, from
the dam to the bypassed reach via a 5-foot, 9-inch wide by 5-inch deep
notch in the flashboards; and (2) a minimum flow of 115 cfs or inflow,
whichever is less, through the powerhouse to the downstream reach. When
inflow falls below the minimum hydraulic capacity of the powerhouse (80
cfs), the minimum flow requirement for the downstream reach is met by
releasing flows over the dam. The average annual generation was
5,837,900 kilowatt-hours for the period of record from 2005 to 2018.
    The Town proposes to: (1) Continue operating the project in a run-
of-river mode; (2) release a minimum flow of 35 cfs, or inflow,
whichever is less into the bypassed reach to protect and enhance
aquatic habitat; (3) install and operate an upstream eel ramp; (4)
implement targeted nightly shutdowns for the protection of downstream
migrating eels in September and October; and (5) construct a downstream
fish bypass structure to pass eels and resident fish into the bypassed
reach of the project. The Town also proposes to conduct a one-season
tagging study to determine whether river herring and American shad can
migrate upstream through the bypassed reach to the project dam.
    Green Mountain Power estimates that the proposed measures would
result in an average annual generation loss of approximately 759,000
MWh and will cost $98,500 per year for operation and maintenance.
    o. A copy of the application is available for review at the
Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the
Commission's website at http://www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link.
Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket
number field to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC
Online Support. A copy is also available for inspection and
reproduction at the address in item h above.
    You may also register online at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/esubscription.asp to be notified via email of new filings and issuances
related to this or other pending projects. For assistance, contact FERC
Online Support.
    p. Procedural schedule and final amendments: The application will
be processed according to the following preliminary schedule. Revisions
to the schedule will be made as appropriate.

Issue Deficiency Letter (if necessary)--September 2019
Request for Additional Information--October 2019
Issue Acceptance Letter--January 2020

Secretary.

Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application
procedure.

The Proposal

    This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR), part 71 by modifying Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface for standard instrument approach procedures
at Bill Martin Memorial Airport, Ava, MO. Airspace reconfiguration is
necessary due to the decommissioning of the Bilmart NDB and the
cancellation of the NDB approach. Controlled airspace is necessary for
the safety and management of IFR operations at the airport.
    Class E airspace areas are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9U, dated August 18, 2010, and effective September 15, 2010, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designation listed in this document would be published subsequently in
the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore, (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) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, section 106 describes
the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation
Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
subtitle VII, part A, subpart I, section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it would modify controlled airspace at Bill Martin Memorial Airport,
Ava, MO.
