Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2014-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1401]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard
determinations, which may include additions or modifications of any
Base Flood Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundary or zone designation, or regulatory floodway on the
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the
supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the communities
listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to seek
general information and comment regarding the preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report that the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has provided to the affected communities. The FIRM and
FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management measures that the
community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of having in
effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition,

the FIRM and FIS report, once effective, will be used by insurance
agents and others to calculate appropriate flood insurance premium
rates for new buildings and the contents of those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before June 16, 2014.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location and the respective Community Map Repository address listed in
the tables below. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS
report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1366, to
Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering Management Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or
(email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community listed below, in accordance with
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed flood hazard determinations, together with the
floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum
that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the
community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent
in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any
time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies
established by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These flood
hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and also are used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM
and FIS report become effective.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS
report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b)
is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard
determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
become effective.
    Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are
independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other
pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the
SRP only may be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days
without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional
information regarding the SRP process can be found online at http://floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_fact_sheet.pdf.
    The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables
below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection at both the online location and
the respective Community Map Repository address listed in the tables.
Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS report for each
community are accessible online through the FEMA Map Service Center at
www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: TriMet of Portland has requested that the
upper deck of the Steel Bridge remain closed to vessel traffic to
facilitate safe efficient movement of light rail and roadway traffic
associated with the Starlight Parade and Rose Parade. The Steel Bridge
crosses the Willamette River at mile 12.1 and is a double-deck lift
bridge with a lower lift deck and an upper lift deck which operate
independent of each other. When both decks are in the down position the
bridge provides 26 feet of vertical clearance above Columbia River
Datum 0.0. When the lower deck is in the up position the bridge
provides 71 feet of vertical clearance above Columbia River Datum 0.0.
This deviation does not affect the operating schedule of the lower deck
which opens on signal. Vessels that do not require an opening of the
upper deck of the bridge may continue to transit beneath the bridge
and, if needed, may obtaining an opening of the lower deck of the
bridge for passage during this closure period of the upper deck. Under
normal conditions the upper deck of the Steel Bridge operates in
accordance with 33 CFR 117.897(c)(3)(ii), which states that from 8 a.m.
to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday one hour advance notice shall be given
for draw openings and at all other times two hours advance notice shall
be given to obtain an opening. This deviation period is effective from
7 p.m. on June 1, 2013, until 1 p.m. on June 8, 2013. The deviation
allows the Steel Bridge upper deck to remain in the closed position and
need not open for maritime traffic from 7 p.m. until 11:30 p.m. on June
1, 2013, and from 7 a.m. until 1 p.m. on June 8, 2013. The bridge shall
operate in accordance with 33 CFR 117.897 at all other times. Waterway
usage on this stretch of the Willamette River includes vessels ranging
from commercial tug and barge to small pleasure craft. Mariners will be
notified and kept informed of the bridges' operational status via the
Coast Guard Notice to Mariners publication and Broadcast Notice to
Mariners as appropriate. The bridge will be required to open, if
needed, for vessels engaged in emergency response operations during
this closure period.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: March 14, 2013.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2011-23-
05, which applies to certain The Boeing Company Model 737-300, -400,
and -500 series airplanes. AD 2011-23-05 currently requires repetitive
inspections for cracking of the 1.04-inch nominal diameter wire
penetration hole, and applicable related investigative and corrective
actions. Since we issued AD 2011-23-05, an evaluation by the design
approval holder (DAH) indicates that the fuselage frames and frame
reinforcements are subject to widespread fatigue damage (WFD). This
proposed AD would add new inspection areas, a modification that
terminates certain inspections, post-modification inspections, and
repair if necessary. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct
fatigue cracking of the fuselage frames and frame reinforcements, which
could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by January 11,
2016.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.

Discussion

    Structural fatigue damage is progressive. It begins as minute
cracks, and those cracks grow under the action of repeated stresses.
This can happen because of normal operational conditions and design
attributes, or because of isolated situations or incidents such as
material defects, poor fabrication quality, or corrosion pits, dings,
or scratches. Fatigue damage can occur locally, in small areas or
structural design details, or globally. Global fatigue damage is
general degradation of large areas of structure with similar structural
details and stress levels. Multiple-site damage is global damage that
occurs in a large structural element such as a single rivet line of a
lap splice joining two large skin panels. Global damage can also occur
in multiple elements such as adjacent frames or stringers. Multiple-
site-damage and multiple-element-damage cracks are typically too small
initially to be reliably detected with normal inspection methods.
Without intervention, these cracks will grow, and eventually compromise
the structural integrity of the airplane, in a condition known as WFD.
As an airplane ages, WFD will likely occur, and will certainly occur if
the airplane is operated long enough without any intervention.
    The FAA's WFD final rule (75 FR 69746, November 15, 2010) became
effective on January 14, 2011. The WFD rule requires certain actions to
prevent structural failure due to WFD throughout the operational life
of certain existing transport category airplanes and all of these
airplanes that will be certificated in the future. For existing and
future airplanes subject to the WFD rule, the rule requires that DAHs
establish a limit of validity (LOV) of the engineering data that
support the structural maintenance program. Operators affected by the
WFD rule may not fly an airplane beyond its LOV, unless an extended LOV
is approved.
    The WFD rule (75 FR 69746, November 15, 2010) does not require
identifying and developing maintenance actions if the DAHs can show
that such actions are not necessary to prevent WFD before the airplane
reaches the LOV. Many LOVs, however, do depend on accomplishment of
future maintenance actions. As stated in the WFD rule, any maintenance
actions necessary to reach the LOV will be mandated by airworthiness
directives through separate rulemaking actions.
    In the context of WFD, this action is necessary to enable DAHs to
propose LOVs that allow operators the longest operational lives for
their airplanes, and still ensure that WFD will not occur. This
approach allows for an implementation strategy that provides
flexibility to DAHs in determining the timing of service information
development (with FAA approval), while providing operators with
certainty regarding the LOV applicable to their airplanes.
    On October 20, 2011, we issued AD 2011-23-05, Amendment 39-16856
(76 FR 67343, November 1, 2011), for certain Model 737-300, -400, and -
500 series airplanes. AD 2011-23-05 superseded AD 2009-02-06 R1,
Amendment 39-16015 (74 FR 45979, September 8, 2009). AD 2011-23-05
requires repetitive inspections for cracking of the 1.04-inch nominal
diameter wire penetration hole, and applicable related investigative
and corrective actions. AD 2011-23-05 resulted from reports of cracking
in the frame, or in the frame and frame reinforcement, common to the
1.04-inch nominal diameter wire penetration hole intended for wire
routing; and recent reports of multiple adjacent frame cracking found
before the compliance time required by AD 2009-02-06 R1. We issued AD
2011-23-05 to detect and correct cracking in the fuselage frames and
frame reinforcements, which could reduce the structural capability of
the frames to sustain limit loads, and result in cracking in the
fuselage skin and subsequent rapid depressurization of the airplane.

Actions Since AD 2011-23-05, Amendment 39-16856 (76 FR 67343, November
1, 2011), Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 2011-23-05, Amendment 39-16856 (76 FR 67343,
November 1, 2011), an evaluation by the DAH indicates that the fuselage
frames and frame reinforcements are subject to WFD.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1279, Revision 2,
dated April 21, 2015. The service information describes procedures for
the following actions.
     Inspections of wire penetration holes, standoff/tooling
holes, and the production fastener holes for cracking in the forward
cargo compartment frames and frame reinforcements, between stringer (S)
S-19 and S-22, on both left and right sides of the airplane.
     A preventive modification of frames between S-19 and S-22.
     Post-modification inspections.
     Repairs.
    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 of this
NPRM.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined 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 retain all requirements of AD 2011-23-05,
Amendment 39-16856 (76 FR 67343, November 1, 2011). This proposed AD
would require accomplishing the actions specified in the service
information described previously, except as discussed under
``Differences Between this Proposed AD and the Service Information.''
For information on the procedures and compliance times, see this
service information at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and
locating Docket No. FAA-2015-5812.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the Service Information

    Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-53A1279, Revision 2, dated April
21, 2015, specifies to contact the manufacturer for instructions on how
to

repair certain conditions, but this proposed AD would require repairing
those conditions in one of the following ways:
     In accordance with a method that we approve; or
     Using data that meet the certification basis of the
airplane, and that have been approved by the Boeing Commercial
Airplanes Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) whom we have
authorized to make those findings.

Explanation of Compliance Time

    The compliance time for the modification specified in this proposed
AD for addressing WFD was established to ensure that discrepant
structure is modified before WFD develops in airplanes. Standard
inspection techniques cannot be relied on to detect WFD before it
becomes a hazard to flight. We will not grant any extensions of the
compliance time to complete any AD-mandated service bulletin related to
WFD without extensive new data that would substantiate and clearly
warrant such an extension.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 605 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

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 have 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 that the proposed
regulation:
    (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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-70199; File No. SR-BATS-2013-036]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; BATS Exchange, Inc.; Order
Approving a Proposed Rule Change To Introduce a Connectivity Option
Through Points of Presence

August 14, 2013.

I. Introduction

    On June 19, 2013, BATS Exchange, Inc. (``Exchange'' or ``BATS'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''),
pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change to
introduce a connectivity option through Points of Presence (PoPs). The
proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register
on July 3, 2013.\3\ The Commission received no comment letters on the
proposal. This order approves the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 69877 (June 27, 2013),
78 FR 40241 (``Notice'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposal

    The Exchange currently maintains a presence in two third-party data
centers: (i) the primary data center where the Exchange's business is
primarily conducted on a daily basis, and (ii) a secondary data center,
which is predominantly maintained for business continuity purposes.
Exchange participants, including participants trading on the Exchange
and market data recipients, are required to connect directly to the
Exchange at the primary or secondary data centers where the Exchange
currently maintains servers. If an Exchange participant does not have a
presence within these data centers, then the participant is required to
obtain connectivity from the participant's location, or data center, to
the data centers where the Exchange's servers are located. The Exchange
is proposing to provide market participants with the ability to access
the Exchange's network via physical ports at data center entry points,
or PoPs, at data centers other than the Exchange's primary or secondary
data center (``Remote Data Centers'').
    PoP ports will be located at Remote Data Centers in order to
provide participants connectivity to the Exchange. In the Notice, the
Exchange represented that connectivity established via PoP ports will
allow market participants to perform all of the operations that they
would typically perform when connecting directly to the Exchange,
including order entry and receipt of market data. Participants would
establish a physical connection to a PoP port in the Remote Data
Center, from which the Exchange would provide the requisite
connectivity to allow participants to access the Exchange's servers.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Exchange would contract with a third party
telecommunications provider to supply connectivity to the Exchange
to its participants.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Participants that do not maintain a presence in either of the
Exchange's data centers must currently establish connectivity to such
data centers themselves through third party telecommunications
providers. By making PoP entry points available, the Exchange is
reducing or eliminating the need for participants to contract
themselves for third party connectivity located in the same data center
as such PoP ports. The Exchange believes that some participants may
choose to connect to the Exchange at a PoP location to the extent that
the Exchange's service offering makes connecting to the Exchange in
this manner more easily established or more cost effective. In the
Notice, the Exchange suggested that the PoPs may be most attractive to
smaller market participants that otherwise may not connect to the
Exchange.
    The Exchange proposes to provide the option to connect to the
Exchange via PoPs to any member or non-member that has been approved to
connect to the Exchange. Any member or non-member opting not to access
the Exchange at a PoP location would still be able to access the
Exchange in the existing data centers as they do currently.

III. Discussion and Commission's Findings

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the requirements of Section 6 of the Act \5\
and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national
securities exchange. Additionally, in approving this proposed rule
change, the Commission

has considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation.\6\ The Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\7\ which
requires, among other things, that the Exchange's rules be 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 facilitating transactions in
securities, 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; and are not designed to
permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers, brokers, or
dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \6\ See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange notes that competition for customers and order flow
amongst exchanges and other non-exchange market participants is
considerable and that the Exchange is offering this new connectivity
option to keep pace with changes in the industry and evolving customer
needs. The Exchange further states that the offering is entirely
optional and is geared towards attracting new customers, as well as
retaining existing customers. Additionally, the Exchange has
represented that it will make PoPs equally available to any Exchange
member or non-member that has been approved to connect to the
Exchange.\8\ Finally, the Exchange does not believe that demand will
exceed the capacity planned for PoP access. However, in the event that
demand does exceed the capacity planned for PoP access, the Exchange
represented that it would expand its infrastructure as necessary in
order to meet demand.\9\ For the reasons noted above, the Commission
finds that the proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Notice, supra note 3, at 40242. The Exchange notes that
this would include any Member, non-member service bureau that acts
as a conduit for orders entered by Exchange Members, Sponsored
Participant, or market data recipient. Id.
    \9\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\10\ that the proposed rule change (SR-BATS-2013-036) be, and it
hereby is, approved.

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2012-0483; Airspace Docket No. 12-ANM-13]

Establishment of Class D and Class E Airspace; Camp Guernsey, WY

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class D airspace and Class E airspace
at Camp Guernsey, WY. The establishment of an air traffic control tower
has made this action necessary for the safety and management of
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Camp Guernsey Airport.

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, March 7, 2013. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR Part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and
publication of conforming amendments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eldon Taylor, Federal Aviation
Administration, Operations Support Group, Western Service Center, 1601
Lind Avenue SW., Renton, WA 98057; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On September 12, 2012, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to establish controlled airspace
at Camp Guernsey Airport, Camp Guernsey, WY (77 FR 56174). Interested
parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments
were received.
    Class D airspace and Class E airspace designations are published in
paragraphs 5000 and 6002, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9W dated
August 8, 2012, and effective September 15, 2012, which is incorporated
by reference in 14 CFR Part 71.1. The Class D airspace and Class E
airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in that Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
Part 71 by establishing Class D airspace and Class E airspace extending
upward from the surface, at Camp Guernsey Airport, Camp Guernsey, WY,
to accommodate the newly established air traffic control tower.
Controlled airspace is established within a 5-mile radius of the
airport, with a segment extending from the 5-mile radius to 6.5 miles
north of the airport to provide the necessary airspace for IFR
operations at Camp Guernsey Airport, Camp Guernsey, WY.
    The FAA has determined this regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments
are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this
regulation: (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 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 discusses 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 establishes controlled
airspace at Camp Guernsey Airport, Camp Guernsey, WY.
    Except for some editorial changes better explaining the airspace,
this rule is the same as published in the NPRM.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 311a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD
2017-0163, dated September 4, 2017; corrected September 5, 2017
(referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness
Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for
certain Fokker Services B.V. Model F28 Mark 0070 and 0100 airplanes.
The MCAI states:

    An occurrence was reported where, during a walk around check, a
number of cracks, in various directions, were discovered in the
lower portion of a MLG piston, Part Number (P/N) 41141-5. No
technical investigation results are available as yet, but based on a
previous event, as a result of which EASA issued AD 2009-0221R1,
later superseded by [EASA] AD 2011-0159, stress corrosion is
suspected to have caused these cracks.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to MLG
failure during the landing roll-out, possibly resulting in damage to
the aeroplane and injury to occupants.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, Fokker Services
published Service Bulletin (SB) SBF100-32-169 to provide inspection
instructions.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires a one-
time detailed visual inspection (DVI) of the MLG pistons for cracks
and, depending on findings, replacement. This [EASA] AD also
requires the reporting of inspection results to Fokker Services.
    This [EASA] AD has been republished to correct wrong P/N
references in paragraphs (1) and (4).
    This [EASA] AD is considered an interim measure and further
[EASA] AD action may follow.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2018-
0448.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Fokker Services B.V. has issued Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100-32-
169, dated August 23, 2017. The service information describes
procedures for a detailed visual inspection of the MLG, and replacement
if necessary. 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.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 5 airplanes of U.S.

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 NPRM is 2120-
0056. The paperwork cost associated with this NPRM 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 NPRM is mandatory. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden
and suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the FAA
at 800 Independence Ave. SW, Washington, DC 20591, ATTN: Information
Collection Clearance Officer, AES-200.

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.
    This proposed 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 to the Director of the System Oversight
Division.

Regulatory Findings

    We 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. 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.

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

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 adding the following new airworthiness
directive (AD):

Fokker Services B.V.: Docket No. FAA-2018-0448; Product Identifier
2017-NM-129-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by July 9, 2018.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Fokker Services B.V. Model F28 Mark 0070 and
0100 airplanes, certificated in any category, all manufacturer
serial numbers, if equipped with Goodrich main landing gear (MLG).

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 32, Landing
gear.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by a report of cracks, in various
directions, in the lower portion of a MLG piston. We are issuing
this AD to detect and correct cracks in the lower portion of the
MLG, which could lead to MLG failure during the landing roll-out,
and possibly result in damage to the airplane and injury to
occupants.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) One-Time Detailed Visual Inspection

    Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, do a
detailed visual inspection of each MLG piston part number 41141-5,
in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Fokker Service
Bulletin SBF100-32-169, dated August 23, 2017.

(h) Corrective Actions

    If any crack is found, during any inspection required by
paragraph (g) of this AD, before further flight, replace the MLG
piston with a serviceable piston (i.e., a new piston, a piston that
has not accumulated any flight cycles since overhaul, or a piston
that has been inspected as required by paragraph (g) of this AD and
has no cracks), in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions
of Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100-32-169, dated August 23, 2017.

(i) Reporting

    (1) Submit a report of the findings (both positive and negative)
of the inspection required by paragraph (g) of this AD to Fokker
Services B.V., Technical Services, fax: +31 (0)25-2627-211; email:
[email protected], at the applicable time specified in
paragraph (i)(1)(i) or (i)(1)(ii) of this AD. The report must
include the information specified in the questionnaire of Fokker
Service Bulletin SBF100-32-169, dated August 23, 2017.
    (i) If the inspection was done on or after the effective date of
this AD: Submit the report within 30 days after the inspection.
    (ii) If the inspection was done before the effective date of
this AD: Submit the report within 30 days after the effective date
of this AD.
    (2) Although Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100-32-169, dated August
23, 2017, specifies to submit certain information to Goodrich, this
AD does not include that requirement.

(j) Parts Installation Limitations

    As of the effective date of this AD, it is allowed to install a
piston P/N 41141-5, or a replacement MLG with a piston P/N 41141-5,
on any airplane, provided the piston is new, or has not accumulated
any flight cycles since overhaul, or has been inspected as required
by paragraph (g) of this AD and has no cracks.

(k) Other FAA AD Provisions

    The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
International Section, Transport Standards 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

directly to the International Section, send it to the attention of
the person identified in paragraph (l)(2) of this AD. Information
may be emailed to: [email protected]. Before using any
approved AMOC, notify your appropriate principal inspector, or
lacking a principal inspector, the manager of the local flight
standards district office/certificate holding district office.
    (2) Contacting the Manufacturer: For any requirement in this AD
to obtain corrective actions from a manufacturer, the action must be
accomplished using a method approved by the Manager, International
Section, Transport Standards Branch, FAA; or the European Aviation
Safety Agency (EASA); or Fokker Services B.V.'s EASA Design
Organization Approval (DOA). If approved by the DOA, the approval
must include the DOA-authorized signature.
    (3) Reporting Requirements: A federal agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, nor shall a
person be subject to a 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 OMB Control Number
for this information collection is 2120-0056. Public reporting for
this collection of information is estimated to be approximately 1
hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions,
completing and reviewing the collection of information. All
responses to this collection of information are mandatory. Comments
concerning the accuracy of this burden and suggestions for reducing
the burden should be directed to the FAA at: 800 Independence Ave.
