[Docket No. FAA-2012-1180; Directorate Identifier 2012-CE-032-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Hawker Beechcraft Corporation

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM); reopening of
comment period.

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

SUMMARY: We are revising an earlier proposed airworthiness directive
(AD) for certain Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) Models 58, 58TC,
58P, 95C55, E55, and 56TC airplanes. That NPRM proposed requiring
inspections of elevator balance weights and replacement of defective
elevator balance weights. That NPRM was prompted by reports of elevator
balance weights becoming loose or failing because the balance weight
material was under strength and did not meet material specifications.
This action revises that NPRM to prohibit the installation of
designated spare parts and to clarify applicability. We are proposing
this supplemental NPRM to correct the unsafe condition on these
products. Since these actions impose an additional burden over that
proposed in the NPRM, we are reopening the comment period to allow the
public the chance to comment on these proposed changes.

DATES: We must receive comments on this supplemental NPRM by July 1,
2013.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposed AD. Send your comments to an address
listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2012-1180;
Directorate Identifier 2012-CE-032-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposed AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this proposed AD.

Discussion

    We issued an NPRM to amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that
would apply to certain Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) Models 58,
58TC, 58P, 95C55, E55, and 56TC airplanes. That NPRM published in the
Federal Register on November 6, 2012 (77 FR 66566). That NPRM proposed
to require inspections of elevator balance weights and replacement of
defective elevator balance weights. The balance weight material was
understrength and did not meet the material specification requirements.
A balance weight looseness and/or failure could reduce the flutter
speed and lead to loss of control.

Actions Since Previous NPRM Was Issued

    Since we issued the previous NPRM (77 FR 66566, November 6, 2012),
we identified the need to clarify the applicability and prohibit the
installation of designated spare parts on airplanes. This change
decreases the exposed risk by not allowing known faulty parts to enter
into service and mitigates the chance of multiple opportunities for the
same airplane to experience faulty part installation reintroducing the
unsafe condtion.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to comment on the original NPRM
(77 FR 66566, November 6, 2012). We received no comments on that NPRM
or on the determination of the cost to the public.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this supplemental NPRM because we evaluated all
the relevant information and determined the unsafe condition described
previously is likely to exist or develop in other products of the same
type design. Certain changes described above expand the scope of the
original NPRM (77 FR 66566, November 6, 2012). As a result, we have
determined that it is necessary to reopen the comment period to provide
additional opportunity for the public to comment on this supplemental
NPRM.

Proposed Requirements of the Supplemental NPRM

    This supplemental NPRM would require accomplishing the actions
specified in the service information described previously.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 1,326 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per    Cost on U.S.
                 Action                          Labor cost             Parts cost       product      operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inspection of the elevator balance       .5 work-hour x $85 per      Not applicable        $42.50       $56,355
 weight.                                  hour = $42.50.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements
that would be required based on the results of the proposed inspection.
We have no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need
this replacement:

                                               On-Condition Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per
                    Action                                   Labor cost                Parts cost      product
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Replacement of elevator balance weight........  1 work-hour x $85 per hour = $85....         $300          $385
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this proposed
AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost
estimate.

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 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.

identification such as a shipping ticket, invoice, or direct ship
authority letter, that the purchase date from HBC is outside the
date range of January 1, 1996, and December 31, 2005, then no
further action is required for this AD.
    (iii) If you cannot positively identify the date of purchase of
an aircraft balance weight from HBC, then you must perform all of
the actions in paragraph (h) and (i), all subparagraphs, as
applicable in this AD.

(h) Inspection of Elevator Balance Weight

    Before further flight after the effective date of this AD and
thereafter at intervals not to exceed 100 hours time-in-service
(TIS) until the replacement required by this AD is done, inspect the
elevator balance weights for looseness, failure, and/or working
(smoking) fasteners and inserts.

(i) Replacement of Elevator Balance Weight

    (1) Replace the defective elevator balance weight with an
airworthy balance weight as specified in Hawker Beechcraft Mandatory
Service Bulletin SB 55-4089, Revision 1, dated February, 2012, at

Clean Water Act; Contractor Access to Confidential Business
Information

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of Intended Transfer of Confidential Business
Information to Contractor, Subcontractors, and Consultants.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA's) has authorized Abt
Associates, Inc. (Abt), its subcontractors, and its consultants to
access confidential business information (CBI) collected from numerous
industries. Transfer of this information is necessary for Abt to assist
EPA in the preparation of effluent guidelines and standards for certain
industries.
    In accordance with 40 CFR Sec.  2.302(h), we have determined that
the contractors listed below require access to CBI submitted to EPA
under Section 308 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and in connection with
other programs listed below. Therefore, we are providing notice and an
opportunity to comment to the affected submitters of information. The
nature of the work and its necessity, and the type of access granted,
is described below for each contractor. Information has been provided
to this contractor under a previous agreement since May 30, 2007.
    Transfer of the information to Abt will allow the contractor and
subcontractors to support EPA in the planning, development, and review
of effluent limitations guidelines and standards under the CWA. The
information being transferred was or will be collected under the
authority of Section 308 of the CWA. Some information being transferred
from the pulp, paper, and paperboard industry was collected under the
additional authorities of Section 114 of the Clean Air Act and Section
3007 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. Interested persons
may submit

comments on this intended transfer of information to the address noted
below.

DATES: Comments on the transfer of data are due January 6, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be sent to Mr. M. Ahmar Siddiqui, Document
Control Officer, Engineering and Analysis Division (4303T), Room 6231S

Control Officer, at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or via email at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA has transferred CBI to various
contractors and subcontractors over the history of the effluent
guidelines program. EPA determined that this transfer was necessary to
enable the contractors and subcontractors to perform their work in
supporting EPA in planning, developing, and reviewing effluent
guidelines and standards for certain industries.
    Today, EPA is giving notice that it has entered into a contract
with Abt, contract number EP-C-13-039, located in Cambridge,
Massachusetts. The purpose of this contract is to secure economic and
environmental analysis support for EPA in its development, review,
implementation, and defense of water-related initiatives for a variety
of industries. To obtain assistance in responding to this contract, Abt
has entered into contracts with the following subcontractors: Aqua
Terra Consultants (located in Mountain View, California), Avanti
Corporation (located in Alexandria, Virginia), Great Lakes
Environmental Center (located in Traverse City, Michigan), Horizon
Systems Corporation (located in Herndon, Virginia), ICF International
(located in Fairfax, Virginia), PG Environmental (located in Herndon,
Virginia), RPS ASA dba Applied Science Associates (located in South
Kingstown, Rhode Island), and RTI International (located in Research
Triangle Park, North Carolina). Abt has also entered into contracts
with the following consultants: Robert J. Johnston, Ph.D. (located in
Millville, Massachusetts) and R. Srinivasan, Ph.D. (located in College
Station, Texas).
    All EPA contractor, subcontractor, and consultant personnel are
bound by the requirements and sanctions contained in their contracts
with EPA and in EPA's confidentiality regulations found at 40 CFR Part
2, Subpart B. Abt will adhere to EPA-approved security plans which
describe procedures to protect CBI. Abt will apply the procedures in
these plans to CBI previously gathered by EPA and to CBI that may be
gathered in the future. The security plans specify that contractor
personnel are required to sign non-disclosure agreements and are
briefed on appropriate security procedures before they are permitted
access to CBI. No person is automatically granted access to CBI: A need
to know must exist.
    The information that will be transferred to Abt consists of
information previously collected by EPA to support the development and
review of effluent limitations guidelines and standards under the CWA.
In particular, information, including CBI, collected for the planning,
development, and review of effluent limitations guidelines and
standards for the following industries may be transferred: airport
deicing; aquaculture; centralized waste treatment; coalbed methane;
concentrated animal feeding operations; coal mining; construction and
development; drinking water treatment; industrial container and drum
cleaning; industrial laundries; industrial waste combustors; iron and
steel manufacturing; landfills; meat and poultry products; metal
finishing; metal products and machinery; nonferrous metals
manufacturing; oil and gas extraction (including coalbed methane); ore
mining and dressing; organic chemicals, plastics, and synthetic fibers;
pesticide chemicals; petroleum refining; pharmaceutical manufacturing;
pulp, paper, and paperboard manufacturing; unconventional oil and gas
extraction; steam electric power generation; textile mills; timber
products processing; tobacco; and transportation equipment cleaning.
    EPA also intends to transfer to Abt all information listed in this
notice, of the type described above (including CBI) that may be
collected in the future under the authority of Section 308 of the CWA
or voluntarily submitted (e.g., in comments in response to a Federal
Register notice), as is necessary to enable Abt to carry out the work
required by its contract to support EPA's effluent guidelines planning
process and the development of effluent limitations guidelines and
standards.
