Airworthiness Directives; Reims Aviation S.A. Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Reims
Aviation S.A. Model F406 airplanes. 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 improper material used in nose landing gear (NLG)
attachment brackets could lead to failure of the NLG bracket with
consequent damage to the airplane while landing. We are issuing this AD
to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective March 28, 2013.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of March 28,
2013.

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 December 5, 2012 (77
FR 72252). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    During the manufacturing process, RAI found that some of the
nose landing gear (NLG) attachment brackets, Part Number (P/N)
6013119-1, were made of aluminum alloy, instead of steel. The
results of the investigations showed that some of these aluminum
alloy brackets are likely to be installed on aeroplanes currently in
service.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to
failure of the NLG attachment bracket and jamming of the NLG
extension/retraction mechanism, possibly resulting in a runway
excursion and consequent damage to the aeroplane and injury to the
occupants.
    For the reasons described above, this AD requires inspection of
the NLG attachment bracket P/N 6013119-1 and, depending on findings,
replacement with a serviceable bracket made of steel.
    In addition, as some aluminum alloy P/N 6013119-1 NLG attachment
brackets may have been supplied as spares, this AD also requires
determination that the part is made of steel, prior to installation.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (77 FR 72252, December 5,
2012) or on the determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed except for
minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (77 FR 72252, December 5, 2012) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the (77 FR 72252, December 5, 2012).

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 7 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it would take about .5 work-hour per product to
comply with

the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate is $85 per
work-hour.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S.
operators to be $42.50, or $297.50 per product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions would
take about 3 work-hours and require parts costing $500, for a cost of
$755 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 the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) 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.

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.

    Abstract: Gasoline combustion results in the formation of engine
deposits that contribute to increased emissions. Detergent additives
deter deposit formation. The Clean Air Act requires gasoline to contain
a detergent additive. The regulations at 40 CFR part 80, subpart G
specify certification requirements for manufacturers of detergent
additives, recordkeeping and reporting requirements for blenders of
detergents into gasoline or post-refinery component (any gasoline
blending stock or any oxygenate which is blended with gasoline
subsequent to the gasoline refining process), and recordkeeping and
reporting requirements for manufacturers, transferors, or transferees
of detergents, gasoline, or post-refinery component (PRC). These
requirements ensure that (1) a detergent is effective before it is
certified by EPA, (2) a certified detergent, at the minimum
concentration necessary to be effective (known as the lowest additive
concentration (LAC)), is blended into gasoline, and (3) only gasoline
which contains a certified detergent at its LAC is delivered to the
consumer. The EPA maintains a list of certified gasoline detergents,
which is publicly available.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers, transferors and
transferees, and blenders into gasoline or post-refinery component of
detergent additives; and detergent additive researchers.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory.
    Estimated number of respondents: 1354 (total).

    Frequency of response: Once, occasionally annually.
    Total estimated burden: 220,181 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $18,854,168 including $335,040 annualized
capital or O&M costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is no change in the total estimated
burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens.
