ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R07-OAR-2019-0334; FRL-10000-15-Region 7]

Air Plan Approval; Missouri; Infrastructure State Implementation
Plan Requirements for the 2015 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality
Standard

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving
elements of a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submission from
the State of Missouri addressing the applicable requirements of section
110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) for the 2015 Ozone (O3)
National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). Section 110 requires
that each state adopt and submit a SIP revision to support the
implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of each new or revised
NAAQS promulgated by the EPA. These SIPs are commonly referred to as
``infrastructure'' SIPs. The infrastructure requirements are designed
to ensure that the structural components of each state's air quality
management program are adequate to meet the state's responsibilities
under the CAA. The EPA is also approving a request from the State to
exempt all counties in the Metropolitan Kansas City Interstate Air
Quality Control Region (Kansas City AQCR) and all of Jefferson and most
of Franklin (except Boles Township) counties in the Metropolitan St.
Louis Interstate (St. Louis AQCR) from needing an ozone contingency
plan meeting the EPA's requirements.

DATES: This final rule is effective on October 30, 2019.

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under
Docket ID No. EPA-R07-OAR-2019-0334. All documents in the docket are

I. Background

    On June 25, 2019, the EPA proposed to approve the State's
infrastructure SIP submittal for the 2015 O3 NAAQS and to
approve a request to exempt all counties in the Kansas City AQCR, and
Jefferson and Franklin (except Bowles Township) counties in the St.
Louis AQCR, from needing to meet the requirement to have an ozone
contingency plan found in at 40 CFR part 51, subpart H, in the Federal
Register.\1\ See 84 FR 29826. The EPA

solicited comments on the proposed SIP revisions and received one
comment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 51.152(d) (1) allows the Administrator to exempt portions of
a Priority I, IA, or II AQCR which have been designated as
attainment or unclassifiable for national primary and secondary
standards under section 107 of the Act from the requirement to have
a contingency plan.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. What is being addressed in this document?

    The EPA is approving the infrastructure SIP submission received
from the State on April 11, 2019, in accordance with section 110(a)(1)
of the CAA. Specifically, the EPA is approving the following
infrastructure elements of section 110(a)(2) of the CAA: (A) through
(C), (D)(i)(II)--prevention of significant deterioration of air quality
(prong 3) and protection of visibility (prong 4), (D)(ii), (E) through
(H), and (J) through (M). Elements of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I)--
significant contribution to nonattainment (prong 1) and interfering
with maintenance of the NAAQs (prong 2) were addressed in a separate
SIP submission and are not addressed in this document. Section
110(a)(2)(I) was also not addressed in the submission, however, the EPA
does not expect infrastructure SIP submissions to address element (I).
Section 110(a)(2)(I) requires states to meet the applicable SIP
requirements of part D of the CAA relating to designated nonattainment
areas. The specific part D submissions for designated nonattainment
areas are subject to different submission schedules than those for
section 110 infrastructure elements. The EPA will act on part D
attainment plan SIP submissions through a separate rulemaking governed
by the requirements for nonattainment areas, as described in part D.
    The EPA is also approving a request from the State to exempt all
counties in the Kansas City AQCR, and Jefferson and Franklin (except
Bowles Township) counties in the St. Louis AQCR, from needing to meet
the requirement to have an ozone contingency plan found in at 40 CFR
part 51, subpart H.
    A technical support document (TSD) is included as part of the
docket to this action and it includes an analysis of how the EPA
determined that the submission met the applicable 110(a)(1) and (2)
requirements for infrastructure SIPs and the criteria for an exemption
from needing an ozone contingency plan for all counties in the Kansas
City AQCR, and for Jefferson and Franklin (except Bowles Township)
counties in the St. Louis AQCR. A detailed discussion of the submission
was provided in the EPA's June 25, 2019, Federal Register document. See
84 FR 29826.

III. Have the requirements for approval of a SIP revision been met?

    The submission has met the public notice requirements of 40 CFR
51.102. The submission also satisfied the completeness criteria of 40
CFR part 51, appendix V. The State provided a public comment period for
the submission from December 31, 2018, to February 7, 2019, and held a
public hearing on January 31, 2019. The State received comments from
the EPA during the public comment period; the EPA was the only
commenter. The State addressed the EPA's comments. As explained in more
detail in the TSD, the submission meets the substantive SIP
requirements of the CAA, including section 110 and implementing
regulations.

IV. What is the EPA's response to comment received?

    The public comment period for the EPA's proposed action opened the
date of its publication in the Federal Register, June 25, 2019, and
closed on July 25, 2019. During this period, the EPA received one
comment.
    Comment: The commenter asked the EPA to clarify what it is
exempting, stating that the proposed exemption was for emergency
episode planning requirements but that EPA seemed to be proposing to
eliminate contingency measures required by nonattainment area planning.
    Response: The EPA proposed to approve elements of a SIP revision
submission addressing the applicable requirements of section 110 of the
CAA for the 2015 O3 NAAQS, commonly referred to an
``infrastructure'' SIP, and to approve a request to exempt all counties
in the Kansas City AQCR and all of Jefferson and most of Franklin
(except Boles Township) counties in the St. Louis AQCR from needing an
ozone contingency plan meeting the requirements of 40 CFR part 51,
subpart H (please see the technical support document, provided in the
docket to this rulemaking, and notice of proposed rulemaking, for the
EPA's rational for approving the exemption request).
    Although it is not clear from the comment, the EPA believes the
commenter may have confused the CAA part A 110(a)(2) infrastructure
planning requirement to have a contingency plan addressing emergency
episodes (element (G)) with the CAA part D 172(c)(9) nonattainment
planning requirements to have contingency measures to be undertaken if
the area fails to make reasonable further progress, or to attain the
NAAQS by the attainment date.
    40 CFR part 51, subpart H, includes criteria for classification of
areas into AQCRs based on ambient air concentrations of the pollutant
being addressed. If an AQCR is classified as a Priority I, IA, or II
region for a specified pollutant, then the infrastructure SIP (under
element (G)) should contain an emergency contingency plan meeting the
specific requirements of 40 CFR 51.151 and 51.152, as appropriate, with
respect to that pollutant. The priority classifications for the AQCRs
in Missouri can be found at 40 CFR 52.1321.
    There is a possibility for all or just some of the counties in an
AQCR to also be designated as nonattainment of a NAAQS; an AQCR
boundary is not always equivalent to a nonattainment boundary.
Nonattainment area designations in Missouri can be found at 40 CFR
81.326. Areas that are designated as nonattainment must fulfill CAA
part D requirements. The proposal notice stated that although
infrastructure element (I) requires states to meet the applicable part
D SIP requirements (related to designated nonattainment areas), because
the specific part D section 172 SIP submissions are subject to
different submission schedules than those for part A section 110
infrastructure elements, the EPA will act on part D attainment plan SIP
submissions through a separate rulemaking governed by the requirements
for nonattainment areas, as described in part D.
    To be clear the EPA proposed an exemption from 110(a)(2)(G)
emergency contingency planning obligations for the named AQCRs. The EPA
did not propose to exempt the State from meeting part D section 172
contingency measure requirements (110(a)(2)(I)).

V. What action is the EPA taking?

    The EPA is approving the April 11, 2019, SIP submission addressing
the infrastructure elements for the 2015 O3 NAAQS.
Specifically, the EPA is approving the following infrastructure
elements of section 110(a)(2): (A) through (C), (D)(i)(II)--prong 3 and
prong 4, (D)(ii), (E) through (H), and (J) through (M). The EPA is not
acting on the elements of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I)--prong 1 and prong
2 because those elements were not addressed in the submission. Section
110(a)(2)(I) was not addressed in the submission and the EPA would not
expect it to be.
    The EPA is also approving a request from the State to exempt all
counties in the Kansas City AQCR, and Jefferson and Franklin (except
Bowles Township) counties in the St. Louis AQCR, from

needing to meet the requirement to have an ozone contingency plan found
in at 40 CFR part 51, subpart H.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866.
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of the National Technology
Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTA) because this rulemaking does not
involve technical standards; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not
impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal
law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by November 29, 2019. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2)).

exceeding certain weight levels to determine if there are any
associations between higher vehicle weights and motor carrier safety
violations, particularly those with out-of-service conditions.
    Detailed information on applicant expectations and the application
process for these cooperative agreements will be provided in a Notice
of Funding Availability to be released April 16, 2012 or soon
thereafter. The FMCSA intends to enter into these cooperative
agreements by June 1, 2012 or as soon thereafter as administratively
practicable.
    The FMCSA uses the standard grant application form and quarterly
reporting process. The FMCSA requires the Standard Form 424
(Application for Federal Assistance). Applicants for this cooperative
agreement will be expected to also complete a Project Narrative and
Budget Narrative to support their application. FMCSA uses
GrantSolutions, a grants management information technology system, to
provide all cooperative agreement documents electronically to its
financial processing office. GrantSolutions is a comprehensive grants
management system provided by the Grants Center of Excellence (COE).
The Grants COE serves as one of three consortia leads under the Grants
Management Line of Business E-Gov initiative offering government-wide
grants management system support services. Electronic signature of
grant documents in GrantSolutions is the Agency's preferred method for
executing grant agreement. Additional information will be provided to
grantees during the grant award process. Grantees will, however, be
required to submit the completed Automated Clearing House (ACH) Vendor
Payment Form (SF-3881) directly to FMCSA's financial processing office
by U.S. Postal Service, courier service or secure fax. All SHVI Study
cooperative agreement applications must be submitted electronically
through Grants.gov.

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

    \5\ The Commission has modified the text of the summaries
provided by ICE Clear Europe.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In addition to providing clearing services for credit default
swaps, ICE Clear Europe also provides clearing services for non-
securities contracts in energy and emissions markets (``Energy Futures
Products''). ICE Clear Europe will subject Energy Clearing Members to
an Intraday Margin Call in the event that the Intraday Margin Liability
of the Member is greater than:
     20% of the Energy Clearing Member's total collateral held
with ICE Clear Europe to meet margin requirements;
     2.5% of the Clearing Member's Balance Sheet capital
(discounted, where appropriate, by credit rating); and
     The individual Energy Guaranty Fund contribution of the
Energy Clearing Member.
    Intraday Margin Calls will be made independent of Energy Guaranty
Fund and Balance Sheet capital if the Intraday Margin Liability is
greater than the total collateral held with ICE Clear Europe to meet
margin requirements.
    ICE Clear Europe believes that the proposed change is consistent
with the requirements of Section 17A of the Act and the regulations
thereunder applicable to it. Section 17A(b)(3)(F) \6\ of the Act
requires, among other things, that the rules of a clearing agency be
designed to protect investors and the public interest. ICE Clear Europe
believes that subjecting Energy Clearing Members to an Intraday Margin
Call under certain circumstances would help protect investors and the
public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Clearing Agency's Statement on Burden on Competition

    ICE Clear Europe does not believe that the proposed rule change
would have any impact, or impose any burden, on competition.

C. Clearing Agency's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change
Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    ICE Clear Europe has not solicited written comments regarding the
proposed change. ICE Clear Europe will notify the Commission of any
written comments received by ICE Clear Europe.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective upon filing pursuant
to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) \7\ of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(4)(ii) \8\
thereunder because it primarily affects the futures clearing operations
of the clearing agency with respect to futures that are not security
futures, and does not significantly affect the securities clearing
operations of the clearing agency or any related rights or obligations
of the clearing agency or persons using such service. 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.\9\

33 CFR Part 117

[Docket No. USCG-2012-0018]

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway,
Wrightsville Beach, NC

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation from regulations.

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

SUMMARY: The Commander, Fifth Coast Guard District, has issued a
temporary deviation from the regulation governing the operation of the
S.R. 74 Bridge, across the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, mile 283.1,
at Wrightsville Beach, NC. This deviation is necessary to accommodate
the Quintiles Wrightsville Beach Full and Half Marathon. This deviation
allows the bridge to remain in the closed position during the race.

DATES: This deviation is effective from 5 a.m. through 8 a.m. on
Sunday, March 18, 2012.

ADDRESSES: Documents mentioned in this preamble as being available in
the docket are part of docket USCG-2012-0018 and are available online
by going to http://www.regulations.gov, inserting USCG-2012-0018 in the
``Keyword'' box and then clicking ``Search''. They are also available

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Quintiles Wrightsville Beach Full and
Half Marathon committee on behalf of the North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT) has requested a temporary deviation from the
current operating schedule for the S.R. 74 Bascule Drawbridge across
the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW), mile 283.1, at Wrightsville
Beach, NC. The requested deviation is to accommodate the 2012 Quintiles
Wrightsville Beach Full and Half Marathon scheduled for Sunday, March
18, 2012. To facilitate this event, the draw of the bridge will be
maintained in the closed-to-navigation position from 5 a.m. until 8
a.m.
    The current operating schedule for the bridge is set out in 33 CFR
117.821(a)(4). The regulation requires the bridge to open on signal for
vessels at all times except that from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. the bridge
shall open on the hour; every third and fourth Saturday in September
the bridge shall remain closed from 7 a.m. until 11 a.m.; and the last
Saturday of October or the first or second Saturday of November the
bridge shall remain closed from 7 a.m. until 10:30 a.m. The bascule
drawbridge has a vertical clearance of 20 feet above mean high water
(MHW) in the closed position. Vessels that can pass through the bridge
in the closed position may do so at any time.
    This race is an annual event; therefore local waterway users should
be familiar with the closure. To ensure that waterway users are aware
of the closure, the Coast Guard will issue a Local and Broadcast Notice
to Mariners to allow mariners to schedule their transits accordingly.
There are no alternate routes available to vessels. Most waterway
traffic consists of recreational boats with a few barges and tugs in
the daytime. The bridge is able to open for emergencies.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the designated
time period. This deviation from the operating regulations is
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: January 18, 2012.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting an airworthiness directive (AD) that was
published in the Federal Register. That AD superseded AD 2015-12-03,
and applies to all The Boeing Company Model 777-200, -200LR, -300, and
-300ER series airplanes, and certain Model 777F airplanes. As
published, a freeplay indicator value in the regulatory text is
incorrect, and certain credit service information was omitted for
certain actions in the regulatory text. This document corrects those
errors. In all other respects, the original document remains the same.

DATES: This correction is effective October 12, 2022. The effective
date of AD 2022-14-05 remains October 12, 2022.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of October 12,
2022 (87 FR 54609, September 7, 2022).
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain other publication listed in this AD as of July
21, 2015 (80 FR 34252, June 16, 2015).

ADDRESSES:
    AD Docket: You may examine the AD docket at regulations.gov by
searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2022-0148; or in person at
Docket Operations between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal holidays. The AD docket contains this final rule, any
comments received, and other information. The street address for Docket

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AD 2022-14-05, Amendment 39-22110 (87 FR
54609, September 7, 2022) (AD 2022-14-05), superseded AD 2015-12-03,
Amendment 39-18176 (80 FR 34252, June 16, 2015) (AD 2015-12-03). AD
2022-14-05 retains the requirements for repetitive freeplay inspections
and lubrication of the right and left elevators, rudder, and rudder
tab, and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. AD
2022-14-05 also requires revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, for certain other airplanes, to
incorporate a revised or new elevator freeplay maintenance procedure,
as applicable. AD 2022-14-05 applies to all The Boeing Company Model
777-200, -200LR, -300, and -300ER series airplanes, and certain Model
777F airplanes.

Need for Correction

    As published, paragraphs (j)(3) and (l) of AD 2022-14-05 are
incorrect.
    Paragraph (j)(3) of AD 2022-14-05 requires incorporating a revision
of the elevator freeplay dial indicator limit to ``0.34 in. (152 mm) or
less.'' The correct value is ``0.34 in. (8.636 mm) or less.''
    Additionally, paragraph (l) of AD 2022-14-05 inadvertently omitted
credit for certain actions that was previously provided in AD 2015-12-
03 for the following service information: Boeing Special Attention
Service Bulletin 777-27-0062, dated July 18, 2006, and Revision 1,
dated October 1, 2009. The FAA intended for that service information to
be retained as credit for the corresponding retained actions in AD
2022-14-05.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 777-27-
0062, Revision 4, dated July 15, 2021. This service information
specifies procedures for changing the elevator freeplay instructions by
adding changes to the input force, elevator freeplay limit, and power
control unit (PCU) bypass test setup.
    This AD also requires Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin
777-27-0062, Revision 2, dated January 27, 2014, which the Director of
the Federal Register approved for incorporation by reference as of July
21, 2015 (80 FR 34252, June 16, 2015).
    This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in ADDRESSES.

Correction of Publication

    This document corrects two errors and correctly adds the AD as an
amendment to 14 CFR 39.13. Although no other part of the preamble or
regulatory information has been corrected, the FAA is publishing the
entire rule in the Federal Register.
    The effective date of this AD remains October 12, 2022.
    Since this action only corrects a freeplay indicator value and adds
credit service information, it has no adverse economic impact and
imposes no additional burden on any person. Therefore, the FAA has
determined that notice and public comment procedures are unnecessary.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

Adoption of the Correction

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the Federal Aviation Administration amends part 39 of
the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) by correcting 87 FR
54609 (September 7, 2022), beginning at page 54611, column 1, 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  [Corrected]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by:
0
a. Removing Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-12-03, Amendment 39-18176
(80 FR 34252, June 16, 2015); and
0
b. Adding the following new AD:

2022-14-05 The Boeing Company: Amendment 39-22110; Docket No. FAA-
2022-0148; Project Identifier AD-2022-00922-T.

(a) Effective Date

    This airworthiness directive (AD) is effective October 12, 2022.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD replaces AD 2015-12-03, Amendment 39-18176 (80 FR 34252,
June 16, 2015) (AD 2015-12-03).

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to The Boeing Company airplanes, certificated in
any category, identified in paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) of this AD.
    (1) All Model 777-200, -200LR, -300, and -300ER series
airplanes.
    (2) Model 777F airplanes with an original airworthiness
certificate or original export certificate of airworthiness issued
on or before the effective date of this AD.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 27, Flight
Controls.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by the manufacturer's determination that
the procedure for the rudder freeplay inspection available at the
time did not properly detect excessive freeplay in the rudder
control load loop. This AD was also prompted by engineering testing
that revealed that the force being applied to the elevator to detect
excessive freeplay was insufficient. The FAA is issuing this AD to
address excessive wear in the load loop components of the control
surfaces, which could lead to excessive freeplay of the control
surfaces, flutter, and consequent loss of control of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Retained Repetitive Inspections of Elevators, Rudder, and Rudder
Tab, With Revised Service Information

    This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (g) of AD
2015-12-03, with revised service information. For Model 777-200, -
200LR, -300, and -300ER series airplanes: At the applicable times
specified in tables 1, 2, and 3 of paragraph 1.E., ``Compliance,''
of Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 777-27-0062, Revision

freeplay of the right and left elevators, rudder, and rudder tab by
accomplishing all of the actions specified in Parts 1, 3, and 5 of
the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Special Attention Service
Bulletin 777-27-0062, Revision 2, dated January 27, 2014, or
Revision 4, dated July 15, 2021, except as provided by paragraphs
(i)(2) through (5) of this AD. Repeat the inspections thereafter at
the intervals specified in tables 1, 2, and 3 of paragraph 1.E.,
``Compliance,'' of Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 777-27-
0062, Revision 2, dated January 27, 2014, or Revision 4, dated July
15, 2021. If, during any inspection required by this paragraph, the
freeplay exceeds any applicable measurement specified in Part 1, 3,
and 5, as applicable, of the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing
Special Attention Service Bulletin 777-27-0062, Revision 2, dated
January 27, 2014, or Revision 4, dated July 15, 2021, before further
flight, do the applicable corrective actions in accordance with Part

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2017-0097, dated June 7, 2017 (EASA
AD 2017-0097), to correct an unsafe condition for AgustaWestland S.p.A.
(formerly Agusta S.p.A., Costruzioni Aeronautiche Giovanni Agusta)
Model AB412 and AB412EP helicopters with high skid landing gear
assemblies part number (P/N) 412-050-012-(XXX), 412-050-014-(XXX), 412-
050-050-(XXX), or 412-050-059-(XXX), where `XXX' represents any 3-digit
combination, installed. EASA advises of the determination that a life
limit must be introduced for certain high skid landing gear aft
crosstubes following a fatigue review. Failure to comply with the new
life limit could lead to the failure of the part, possibly resulting in
damage of the helicopter and injuries to passengers.
    Accordingly, EASA AD 2017-0097 requires implementation of the new
life limit and revision of the Aircraft Maintenance Program (AMP).

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by EASA and are approved for
operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral
agreement with the European Union, EASA has notified the FAA about the
unsafe condition described in its AD. The FAA is issuing this AD after
evaluating all known relevant information and determining that the
unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop on
other helicopters of these same type designs.

Related Service Information

    The FAA reviewed Leonardo Helicopters Emergency Alert Service
Bulletin No. 412-151, Revision A, dated June 5, 2017. This service
information specifies procedures for establishing a

retirement life (life limit) of 10,000 landings for high landing gear
aft crosstube P/Ns 412-050-010-101, 412-050-010-107, 412-050-010-111,
and 412-050-045-107. This service information also specifies procedures
for inspecting a high landing gear aft crosstube that has already
exceeded the new retirement life to defer the initial retirement life
replacement.

AD Requirements

    For high landing gear aft crosstube P/Ns 412-050-010-101, 412-050-
010-107, 412-050-010-111, and 412-050-045-107, this AD requires
determining the total number of landings. For purposes of this AD, a
landing is counted anytime a helicopter lifts off into the air and then
lands again regardless of the duration of the landing and regardless of
whether the engine is shutdown. If the total number of landings cannot
be determined, this AD requires multiplying the total hours time-in-
service accumulated by the high landing gear aft crosstube by 4. If the
high landing gear aft crosstube has accumulated or exceeded 10,000
total landings, this AD requires removing the high landing gear aft
crosstube from service. This AD also requires creating a component
history card or equivalent record to establish a life limit of 10,000
total landings, and thereafter, removing any high landing gear aft
crosstube from service before accumulating 10,000 total landings.

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    EASA AD 2017-0097 allows deferring the first replacement of a high
landing gear aft crosstube that has accumulated 9,900 or more total
landings as of the effective date of its AD by passing certain
inspections, whereas this AD does not allow that deferral. EASA AD
2017-0097 requires revising the AMP and allows revision of the AMP as
terminating action of its AD, whereas this AD does not contain those
actions.

Justification for Immediate Adoption and Determination of the Effective
Date

    Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 551 et seq.) authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and
comment procedures for rules when the agency, for ``good cause,'' finds
that those procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to
the public interest.'' Under this section, an agency, upon finding good
cause, may issue a final rule without providing notice and seeking
comment prior to issuance. Further, section 553(d) of the APA
authorizes agencies to make rules effective in less than thirty days,
upon a finding of good cause.
    There are no helicopters with these type certificates on the U.S.
Registry. Accordingly, notice and opportunity for prior public comment
are unnecessary, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B). In addition, for
the foregoing reason(s), the FAA finds that good cause exists pursuant
to 5 U.S.C. 553(d) for making this amendment effective in less than 30
days.

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written data, views, or arguments
about this final rule. Send your comments to an address listed under
ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2021-0718; Project Identifier MCAI-
2020-00601-R'' at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the final rule, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this final rule because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The agency will also post a report summarizing each
substantive verbal contact received about this final rule.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this AD contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this AD, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this AD. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Kenneth
Cook, Airframe/Structural/Mechanical Engineer, Certification Section,
Fort Worth ACO Branch, FAA, 10101 Hillwood Pkwy., Fort Worth, TX 76177;
telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>; email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Any commentary
that the FAA receives which is not specifically designated as CBI will
be placed in the public docket for this rulemaking.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) do not
apply when an agency finds good cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt
a rule without prior notice and comment. Because the FAA has determined
that it has good cause to adopt this rule without prior notice and
comment, RFA analysis is not required.

Costs of Compliance

    There are no costs of compliance with this AD because there are no
helicopters with these type certificates on the U.S. Registry.

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, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866, and
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the
Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued
EASA AD 2019-0053, dated March 14, 2019 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to
correct an unsafe condition for all Saab AB, Saab Aeronautics Model
SAAB 2000 airplanes.
    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Saab AB, Saab
Aeronautics Model SAAB 2000 airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on July 3, 2019 (84 FR 31775). The NPRM was prompted
by reports of cracks in the o-ring groove of magnetic fuel level
indicators. The NPRM proposed to require a one-time detailed inspection
of the magnetic fuel level indicator for cracks and replacement of
cracked magnetic fuel level indicators.
    The FAA is issuing this AD to address cracks in the o-ring groove
of magnetic fuel level indicators, which, if not detected and
corrected, could result in a severe fuel leak and consequent risk of
fuel starvation. See the MCAI for additional background information.

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or
on the determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety
and the public interest require adopting this final rule as proposed,
except for minor editorial changes. The FAA has determined that these
minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Saab AB, Saab Aeronautics (Formerly Known as Saab AB, Saab
Aerosystems) has issued Service Bulletin 2000-28-027, dated January 15,
2019. This service information describes procedures for a one-time
detailed inspection of the magnetic fuel level indicator for cracks and
replacement of cracked magnetic fuel level indicators. This service
information 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.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 11 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The agency estimates the following costs to comply with this
AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
                          Labor cost                              Parts cost        product         operators

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

    The agency estimates the following costs to do any necessary on-
condition action that would be required based on the results of any
required actions. The agency has no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need this on-condition action:

                 Estimated Costs of On-Condition Actions
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             Cost per
              Labor cost                   Parts cost        product
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 work-hours x $85 per hour = $170....         $20,000          $20,170
------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to transport category airplanes and
associated appliances to the Director of the System Oversight Division.

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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

Adoption of the Amendment

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