Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters (Type Certificate
Previously Held by Eurocopter France) and Eurocopter France Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2002-08-16
for certain Eurocopter France SA341G, SA342J, and SA-360C helicopters.
AD 2002-08-16 required removing certain main rotor head torsion tie
bars (tie bars) from service and revising the limitations section of
the existing maintenance manual for your helicopter by adding life
limits for certain other tie bars. This AD was prompted by the
determination that another part-numbered tie bar is affected by the
same unsafe condition. This AD continues to require removing certain
tie bars from service and establishing a life limit for certain other
tie bars. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on
these products.

DATES: This AD is effective August 10, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM)
to amend 14 CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2002-08-16 (67 FR 19640, April
23, 2002) (AD 2002-08-16). AD 2002-08-16 applied to Eurocopter France
Model SA341G, SA342J, and SA-360C helicopters with a tie bar part
number (P/N) 341A31-4904-00, -01, -02, -03; 341A31-4933-00, -01; or
360A31-1097-02, -03, installed. The SNPRM published in the Federal
Register on May 20, 2021 (86 FR 27323). The FAA preceded the SNPRM with
a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that published in the Federal
Register on May 10, 2006 (71 FR 27215). The SNPRM proposed to continue
to require removing tie bar P/Ns 341A31-4904-00, -01, -02, and -03; and
360A31-1097-02 and -03 from service. The SNPRM also proposed to
prohibit installing those part-numbered tie bars on any helicopter. The
SNPRM proposed to initially require removing tie bar P/Ns 341A31-4933-
00 and -01; and 704A33-633-270 from service if they have accumulated or
exceeded the specified life limit, and thereafter removing those part-
numbered tie bars from service before accumulating the specified life
limit.
    The SNPRM was prompted by a significant amount of time that had
elapsed since issuance of the NPRM that required the FAA to reopen the
comment period to allow the public a chance to comment on the proposed
actions. Additional review also revealed necessary changes to address
the unsafe condition. The SNPRM proposed to clarify that the compliance
times of requirements continued from AD 2002-08-16 are effective after
the effective date of AD 2002-08-16, clarify instances of life limits
specified in calendar time that they are since initial installation of
the tie bar on any helicopter, clarify one instance of a life limit
that it is total hours time-in-service (TIS) or calendar time--
whichever occurs first, and add parts installation prohibitions. The
SNPRM also updated the AD format. As a result, paragraph identifiers
changed, editorial changes were made to meet current publishing
requirements, and the proposed requirements were revised by removing
unnecessary information.
    The NPRM was prompted by DGAC AD 2001-587-041(A) R2, dated January
8, 2003 (DGAC AD 2001-587-041(A) R2), issued by the DGAC, which was the
Technical Agent for France, to correct an unsafe condition for Model SA
341/342 helicopters. The DGAC advised of another affected tie-bar P/N
704A33-633-270 and additional flight restrictions for the newly-
affected tie bar. This condition, if not addressed, could result in
failure of a tie bar and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.
Accordingly, DGAC AD 2001-587-041(A) R2, along with DGAC AD 2001-588-
047(A) R1, dated December 26, 2001 (DGAC AD 2001-588-047(A) R1), for
Model SA 360 helicopters, require removing certain part-numbered tie
bars from service and a life limit for certain other part-numbered tie
bars.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received no comments on the SNPRM or on the determination
of the costs.

Conclusion

    These helicopters have been approved by the European Union Aviation
Safety

Agency (EASA) and are approved for operation in the United States.
Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with the European Union, the
FAA has been notified about the unsafe condition described in the DGAC
ADs. The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety
requires adopting this AD as proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing
this AD to address the unsafe condition on these helicopters.

Related Service Information

    The FAA reviewed Eurocopter Alert Service Bulletin No. 01.29,
Revision 0, dated December 4, 2002, and Eurocopter Alert Telex No.
01.39, Revision 1, dated December 11, 2001. This service information
specifies removing certain part-numbered tie bars at specified life
limits.

Differences Between This AD and the DGAC ADs

    For an affected tie bar that has accumulated 7 or more years since
initial installation on any helicopter, DGAC AD 2001-587-041(A) R2
requires removing the tie bar before next flight, whereas this AD
allows removal within 5 hours TIS instead.
    For an affected tie bar that has accumulated 15 or more years since
initial installation on any helicopter, DGAC AD 2001-588-047(A) R1
requires removing the tie bar before next flight, whereas this AD does
not. For an affected tie bar that has accumulated 7 or more years since
initial installation on any helicopter, DGAC AD 2001-588-047(A) R1
requires removing the tie bar before next flight, whereas this AD
allows removal within 5 hours TIS instead. DGAC AD 2001-588-047(A) R1
allows a ferry flight not to exceed 5 hours to return the helicopter to
a maintenance base, where as special flight permits are prohibited by
this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 29 helicopters of U.S.
Registry. Labor rates are estimated at $85 per work-hour. Based on
these numbers, the FAA estimates the following costs to comply with
this AD.
    Replacing a tie bar takes about 1.5 work-hours and parts cost about
$9,579 for an estimated cost of $9,707 per tie bar.

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

    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 that this AD:
    (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.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-54832; File No. SR-BSE-2006-46]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Boston Stock Exchange, Inc.;
Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change Amending Rules To Require
Securities Become Eligible for a Direct Registration System

 November 29, 2006.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ notice is hereby given that on October 26, 2006, the
Boston Stock Exchange, Inc. (``BSE'') filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change described
in Items I, II, and III below, which items have been prepared primarily
by BSE. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on
the proposed rule change from interested parties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    BSE proposes to amend its rules to require securities of all listed
companies become eligible to participate in a Direct Registration
System (``DRS'') administered by a clearing agency registered under
Section 17A of the Act.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, BSE 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. BSE has prepared summaries, set forth in sections (A),
(B), and (C) below, of the most significant aspects of these
statements.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The Commission has modified portions of the text of the
summaries prepared by BSE.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

(1) Purpose
    DRS, as administered by The Depository Trust Company (``DTC''), is
an electronic system that allows an investor to establish either
through the issuer's transfer agent or through the investor's broker-
dealer a book-entry position on the books of the issuer and to
electronically transfer her position between the transfer agent and the
broker-dealer.\3\ DRS, therefore, allows an investor to have securities
registered in her name without having a certificate issued to her and
to electronically transfer, thereby eliminating the risk and delays
associated with the use of certificates, her securities to her broker-
dealer in order to effect a transaction. Ownership is recorded in book-
entry form, and instead of receiving a physical

certificate from the issuer or its transfer agent, the investor
receives a statement of holdings as evidence of ownership.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Currently, the only registered clearing agency operating a
DRS is DTC. For a description of DRS and the DRS facilities
administered by DTC, see Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 37931
(November 7, 1996), 61 FR 58600 (November 15, 1996), [File No. SR-
DTC-96-15] (order granting approval to establish DRS) and 41862
(September 10, 1999), 64 FR 51162 (September 21, 1999), [File No.
SR-DTC-99-16] (order approving implementation of the Profile
Modification System).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    BSE believes that DRS will be an important step in reducing the use
of securities certificates, which should facilitate transfers in
securities and could eventually lead to lower risks and costs for
issuers and investors.\4\ To encourage the use of DRS, the BSE proposes
to require that all listed securities be eligible to participate in
DRS. Under the proposed rule change, BSE would add Section 3 to Chapter
XXVII that would require any security initially listing on BSE on or
after January 1, 2007, to be eligible for a DRS that is operated by a
clearing agency registered under Section 17A of the Act. This
requirement, however, would not extend to (i) securities of companies
which already have securities listed on BSE, (ii) securities of
companies which immediately prior to such listing had securities listed
on another securities exchange in the U.S., or (iii) non-equity
securities which are book-entry only. Under the proposed rule, on and
after January 1, 2008, all securities listed on BSE, other than non-
equity securities which are book-entry only, must be eligible for a DRS
that is operated by a clearing agency registered under Section 17A of
the Act.\5\ While this proposal would require that securities be DRS
eligible, it would not mandate the elimination of securities
certificates and, subject to applicable state law and the company's
governing documents, an investor could still elect to receive a
securities certificate if an issuer elects to issue securities
certificates.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ In that regard, in March 2004 the Commission published a
concept release that discussed, among other things, whether more
should be done to reduce the use of physical securities certificates
by individual investors. The Commission noted that the use of
physical certificates increases the costs and risks of clearing and
settling securities transactions, costs that most often are
ultimately borne by investors. Securities Exchange Act Release No.
8398 (March 11, 2004), 69 FR 12922 (March 18, 2004). Issuers may
save money by not having to print or process physical certificates
but may incur other ongoing expenses to maintain book-entry records,
such as mailing statements to shareholders.
    \5\ The exact text of the BSE's proposed rule change is set
forth in its filing, which can be found at http://www.bostonstock.com/legal/pending_rule_filings.html
.

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

    In order for a security to be eligible for the only DRS in
operation today, the issuer is required to use a transfer agent that
meets certain insurance and connectivity requirements.\6\ As a result,
some transfer agents may have to make changes to comply with their
requirements. In addition, certain issuers may have to make amendments
to their governing documents, such as their by-laws or corporate
charters, to be eligible to issue book-entry positions. To allow
sufficient time for these changes, BSE proposes implementing the
proposed requirement on January 1, 2008, for issuers with securities
already listed on BSE or another listed marketplace when the rule is
approved. Companies listing for the first time would have greater
flexibility to adopt any required changes and therefore the proposed
requirement would be applicable to new listings beginning January 1,
2007.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ DTC's rules require that a transfer agent (including an
issuer acting as its own transfer agent) acting for a company
issuing securities in DRS must be a DRS Limited Participant.
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 37931 (November 7, 1996), 61 FR
58600 (November 15, 1996), [File No. SR-DTC-96-15].
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2) Statutory Basis
    The statutory basis under the Act for this proposed rule change is
the requirement under Section 6(b)(5) of the Act, which requires, among
other things, that the rules of an exchange are designed to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination
with persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling, processing
information with respect to, and facilitating transactions in
securities, to remove impediments to perfect the mechanism of a free
and open market and a national market system, and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest.\7\ BSE believes that the
proposed rule is consistent with its obligations under Section 6(b)(5)
because requiring securities to be eligible to use DRS should increase
the trading of securities in held book-entry forms, which should in
turn facilitate the processing of securities transactions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(B) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    BSE does not believe that the proposed rule change will 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

    BSE has neither solicited nor received written comments on the
proposed rule change.

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

    Within thirty-five days of the date of publication of this notice
in the Federal Register or within such longer period: (i) As the
Commission may designate up to ninety days of such date if it finds
such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so
finding; or (ii) as to which the self-regulatory organization consents,
the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve such proposed rule change or
    (B) Institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.
