Amendment 39-16523; AD 2010-19-51]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Bell Helicopter Textron Canada Model
222, 222B, 222U, 230, and 430 Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: This document publishes in the Federal Register an amendment
adopting Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2010-19-51, which was sent
previously to all known U.S. owners and operators of the specified
model Bell Helicopter Textron Canada (Bell) helicopters by individual
letters. This AD requires inspecting parts of the main rotor hydraulic
servo actuator (servo actuator) for certain conditions and replacing
any unairworthy parts before further flight. This AD is prompted by a
collective servo actuator malfunction and a subsequent investigation
that revealed the output piston rod assembly (piston rod) had fractured
at the threaded end because of stress corrosion cracking. Also, during
the investigation of that servo actuator malfunction, a nonconforming
grind relief was discovered on a separate piston rod. The actions
specified by this AD are intended to detect corrosion or a
nonconforming piston rod that, if not detected and corrected, could
result in failure of the piston rod, failure of the servo actuator, and
subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

DATES: Effective December 9, 2010, to all persons except those persons
to whom it was made immediately effective by Emergency AD 2010-19-51,
issued on August 31, 2010, which contained the requirements of this
amendment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 31, 2010, the FAA issued Emergency
AD 2010-19-51 for the specified model helicopters, which requires
inspecting parts of the servo actuator for certain conditions and
replacing any unairworthy parts before further flight. That action was
prompted by a collective servo actuator malfunction and a subsequent
investigation that revealed the output piston rod assembly (piston rod)
had fractured at the threaded end because of stress corrosion cracking.
Also, during the investigation of that servo actuator malfunction, a
nonconforming grind relief was discovered on a separate piston rod.
This condition, if not detected and corrected, could result in failure
of the piston rod, failure of the servo actuator, and subsequent loss
of control of the helicopter.
    Transport Canada, the airworthiness authority for Canada, has
issued Canadian AD No. CF-2010-29, dated August 26, 2010 to correct an
unsafe

condition for the Bell Model 222, 222B, 222U, 230, and 430 helicopters.
Transport Canada advises that it has been determined that the piston
rods of the servo actuators ``may be corroded and, consequently, prone
for corrosion cracking.'' Also, in one case, ``an unapproved repair was
found on the piston rod.'' This situation, if not corrected, could
result in loss of control of the helicopter.
    Bell has issued Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) No. 222-10-109 for the
Model 222 and 222B helicopters, ASB No. 222U-10-80 for the Model 222U
helicopters, ASB No. 230-10-41 for the Model 230 helicopters, and ASB
No. 430-10-44 for the Model 430 helicopters. Each ASB is dated August
18, 2010, and specifies a one-time inspection of all affected servo
actuators to verify the condition of the piston rod. Woodward HRT also
issued ASB No. 141600-67-02, dated August 18, 2010, attached to each
Bell ASB, which specifies inspecting the piston rod for corrosion and
nonconforming grind relief. It also contains instructions for reworking
and reassembling the unit for operation. Transport Canada classified
the ASBs as mandatory and issued AD No. CF-2010-29, dated August 26,
2010, to ensure the continued airworthiness of these helicopters.
    This AD differs from the Transport Canada AD in that we require the
initial inspection before further flight rather than no later than 5
hours air time upon receiving the AD. Also, this AD requires replacing
unairworthy parts with airworthy parts if certain conditions are found
and this AD does not add a life limit for the servo actuator rod. Also,
this AD does not require a one time rectification and a complete
overhaul of the servo actuator after the initial inspection. This AD is
an interim action.
    These helicopters have been approved by the aviation authority of
Canada and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
our bilateral agreement with Canada, they have notified us of the
unsafe condition described in the Transport Canada AD. We are issuing
this AD because we evaluated all information provided by Transport
Canada and determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to
exist or develop on other helicopters of these same type designs.
Therefore, this AD requires, before further flight:
     Disassembling the actuator to gain access to the piston
rod.
     Cleaning the entire piston rod and nut using Acetone and a
nylon bristle brush removing all contaminates to allow for inspection.
     Inspecting the grind relief configuration for the piston
rod and nut. If the grind relief is unacceptable, replacing the piston
rod and the nut with airworthy parts.
     Using a 10x or higher magnifying glass, visually
inspecting the nut for corrosion or damage to the threads. If you find
any corrosion or damage to the threads, replacing the nut with an
airworthy nut.
     Using a 10x or higher magnifying glass, visually
inspecting the piston rod for any corrosion, visible lack of cadmium
plate (gold or grey color), or damage to the piston rod. If you find
any corrosion, visible lack of cadmium plate (gold or grey color), or
damage to the piston rod in the ``Critical Areas,'' replacing the
piston rod with an airworthy piston rod.
     If you find any corrosion or visible lack of cadmium plate
on the piston rod in areas that are not considered ``Critical Areas,''
reworking the piston rod by removing any surface corrosion that has not
penetrated into the base material by lightly buffing with scotch-brite.
Cleaning the part using Acetone and a nylon bristle brush to remove any
residue.
     If you find any corrosion that is red or orange in color,
magnetic particle inspecting the piston rod for a crack. If you find a
crack, replacing the piston rod with an airworthy piston rod.
     Inspecting the portion of the piston rod for any bare base
metal that is not coated with cadmium plate. If you find any bare base
metal on the piston rod in this area, reworking the piston rod by
applying brush cadmium plating to all bare and reworked areas.
     Reassembling the servo actuator.
     After reassembling the servo actuator, marking it with the
letter ``B'' following the serial number on the name plate using a
scribe or vibrating stylus.
 Performing a hydraulic system check.

    These actions must be accomplished by following specified portions
of the ASBs described previously.
    The short compliance time involved is required because the
previously described critical unsafe condition can adversely affect the
structural integrity and controllability of the helicopter. Therefore,
inspecting parts of the servo actuator for certain conditions and
replacing any unairworthy parts are required before further flight, and
this AD must be issued immediately.
    Since it was found that immediate corrective action was required,
notice and opportunity for prior public comment thereon were
impracticable and contrary to the public interest, and good cause
existed to make the AD effective immediately by individual letters
issued on August 31, 2010 to all known U.S. owners and operators of
Bell Helicopter Textron Canada Model 222, 222B, 222U, 230, and 430
helicopters. These conditions still exist, and the AD is hereby
published in the Federal Register as an amendment to 14 CFR 39.13 to
make it effective to all persons. However, we have made a change to
Note 1 of this AD, and we have also clarified that we are not adopting
a reduced life limit for the piston rod assembly. We have determined
that these changes will neither increase the economic burden on any
operator nor increase the scope of the AD.
    We estimate that this AD will affect 146 helicopters of U.S.
registry. There are three servo actuators per helicopter. For a servo
actuator that is inspected and does not require rework or repair,
removing each servo actuator, performing the inspections, and re-
installing it will take approximately four work hours at an average
labor rate of $85 per hour. For a servo actuator that is inspected and
requires a servo actuator rod to be replaced, removing each servo
actuator, performing the inspections, and re-installing an airworthy
servo actuator rod will also take approximately four work hours. Each
replacement servo actuator rod is estimated to cost $9,000. Based on
these figures, we assume that the total cost impact of the AD on U.S.
operators will be $289,020, assuming 10% of the fleet (15 helicopters)
will need to replace one servo actuator rod per helicopter.

12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); 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.
    We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this AD. See the AD docket to examine the economic evaluation.

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.

BILLING CODE 4910-13-P


All pesticides sold or distributed in the United States must be
registered by EPA, based on scientific studies showing that they can be
used without posing unreasonable risks to people or the environment.
Because of advances in scientific knowledge, the law requires that
pesticides first registered before November 1, 1984, be reregistered to
ensure that they meet today's more stringent standards.

In evaluating pesticides for reregistration, EPA obtains and reviews a
complete set of studies from pesticide producers that describe the human
health and environmental effects of each pesticide.  To implement
provisions of the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) of 1996, EPA
considers the special sensitivity of infants and children to pesticides,
as well as aggregate exposure of the public to pesticide residues from
all sources, and the cumulative effects of pesticides and other
compounds with common mechanisms of toxicity.  The Agency develops any
mitigation measures or regulatory controls needed to effectively reduce
each pesticide's risks. EPA then reregisters pesticides that meet
current human health and safety standards and can be used without posing
unreasonable risks to human health and the environment.

When a pesticide is eligible for reregistration, EPA explains the basis
for its decision in a Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED)
document.  This fact sheet summarizes the information in the RED
document for the pesticide Sethoxydim
(2-[1-(ethoxyimino)butyl]-5-[2-(ethlthio)propyl]3-hydroxy-2-cyclohexen-1
-one]), case number 02600.

Sethoxydim is a cyclohexenone herbicide.

Sethoxydim is only registered as a 13% emulsifiable concentrate.

Sethoxydim is currently registered for use in or on at least 86
different agricultural crops such as various grains, fruits, tree nuts,
vegetables and herbs, as well as non-agricultural sites, including
ornamentals and flowering plants, recreational areas, rights-of-way,
along fences, hedgerows, and public and commercial buildings/structures.

The principal sethoxydim uses are on soybeans, sunflowers, alfalfa, dry
peas/beans, sugar beets, peanuts and corn.

Application rates range from 0.09 to .47 lb ai/A in or on actively
growing crops.

Sethoxydim is used post-emergence for selective control of annual and
perennial grass weeds in broadleaf crops.

Approximately one million pounds of the active ingredient sethoxydim are
applied each year, with the vast majority being used in the agricultural
setting.

Sethoxydim is moderately toxic via oral, dermal and inhalation routes of
exposure.

Sethoxydim is not irritating to the skin or eye.

The most prevalent concerns about sethoxydim are associated with effects
on the liver.

The Agency considers the sethoxydim database to be adequate to assess
developmental toxicity without the need to require a developmental
neurotoxicity (DNT) study.

Sethoxydim inhalation risks do not exceed the Agency’s level of
concern (LOC) for all exposure scenarios and no dermal endpoint of
concern was identified for sethoxydim, thus no dermal assessment was
conducted.

Sethoxydim is not likely to be carcinogenic in humans based on lack of
evidence of carcinogenicity in rats and mice.

Dietary Exposure and Risk

Acute and chronic dietary risks for food and drinking water are below
the Agency’s LOC (i.e., less than 100 percent of the population
adjusted dose (PAD)).

The most highly exposed population subgroups for acute and chronic
dietary risk were children 1-2 years old and children 3-5 years old, at
approximately 9.2% of the acute PAD and infants (<1 year old) at an
estimated 7.5% of the chronic PAD.

Aggregate risks resulting from exposure to sethoxydim in food and
drinking water, are below the agency’s LOC.

Occupational and Residential Exposure and Risk

Sethoxydim is classified in Toxicity Category III for acute oral, dermal
and inhalation, and Toxicity Category IV for and primary eye and skin
irritation; therefore, the current REI of 12 hours is appropriate and
will remain on labels.

Pesticide Handlers Exposure Database (PHED) data were used with other
Agency standard values for areas treated per day, body weight and the
level of personal protective equipment (PPE) and engineering controls to
assess handler exposures to sethoxydim.

Occupational handler inhalation risks do not exceed EPA’s LOC (i.e.,
MOEs > 100) for all exposure scenarios.

Sethoxydim has a high solubility and mobility with a low octanol/water
partition coefficient and is unlikely to contaminate ground or surface
waters because it is not persistent under most conditions.

Sethoxydim (technical) is practically non-toxic to mammals on an acute
basis and no risks are expected for maximum label rates.

For terrestrial plants, sethoxydim is selectively toxic to grasses,
which are monocot plants, and is not particularly toxic to dicot plants.

Aquatic grasses (monocots) were not tested for their response to
sethoxydim.

Sethoxydim is practically non-toxic to honey bees. Adverse effects to
beneficial insects are not expected at maximum label rates.

Sethoxydim is practically non-toxic to birds on an acute basis

The Agency’s LOC is exceeded for direct chronic effects to birds, and
effects to terrestrial and semi-aquatic monocots.

Acute and chronic risk to fish and invertebrates are below the
agency’s LOC.

The chronic LOC was exceeded for all animals consuming short grass from
applications to citrus and tree nut sites.

The Agency is not requiring any additional risk-based mitigation
measures for sethoxydim at this time.

	EPA is requiring the following additional generic studies for
sethoxydim to confirm its regulatory assessments and conclusions:

Ecological Data Requirements

OPPTS GLN 850.4525	Seedling emergence (using TEP)

OPPTS GLN 850.2300	Avian Reproduction

OPPTS GLN 850.1400	Early-life stage Estuarine Fish (using 40% TEP or the
technical sethoxydim)

OPPTS GLN 850.1350	Life Cycle Aquatic Invertebrate

OPPTS GLN 850.4225	Seedling Emergence

OPPTS GLN 850.4250	Vegetative Vigor (Partial)

OPPTS GLN 850.SS1		Vascular aquatic plant for grasses (using TEP)

Residue Chemistry

OPPTS GLN 1500		Two safflower field trails from Region 10

The sethoxydim end-use product must comply with EPA's current pesticide
product labeling requirements and with the following.  For a
comprehensive list of labeling requirements, please see the sethoxydim
RED document.

EPA has determined that all supported uses of sethoxydim are eligible
for reregistration

Electronic copies of the sethoxydim RED and all supporting documents are
available in Docket #EPA-HQ-OPP-2005-0323 at http://www.regulations.gov.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2019-03-12
for certain Airbus Helicopters Model EC225LP helicopters. AD 2019-03-12
required repetitively inspecting, cleaning, and lubricating each life
raft inflation cylinder percussion system bellcrank (bellcrank). This
new AD continues to require the actions specified in AD 2019-03-12, and
requires replacing any affected bellcrank with a serviceable bellcrank,
which terminates the repetitive actions. This AD was prompted by
reports of jammed bellcranks in the life raft jettison inflation
cylinder percussion system. The actions of this AD are intended to
address an unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective June 22, 2021.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of June 22,
2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2019-0287, dated November 27, 2019
(EASA AD 2019-0287) (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition
for certain Airbus Helicopters Model EC225LP helicopters. EASA AD 2019-
0287 supersedes EASA AD 2019-0102, dated May 9, 2019. EASA AD 2019-
0102, dated May 9, 2019, superseded EASA AD 2016-0200, dated October
11, 2016, which prompted FAA AD 2019-03-12, Amendment 39-19564 (84 FR
8250, March 7, 2019) (AD 2019-03-12). You may examine the MCAI in the
AD docket on the internet at https://www.regulations.gov by searching
for and locating Docket No. FAA-2021-0020.
    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2019-03-12. AD 2019-03-12 applied to
certain Airbus Helicopters Model EC225LP helicopters. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on February 26, 2021 (86 FR 11659).
The NPRM was prompted by reports of jammed bellcranks in the life raft
inflation cylinder percussion system. The NPRM proposed to continue to
require the actions specified in AD 2019-03-12, and to require
replacing any affected bellcrank with a serviceable bellcrank, which
would terminate the repetitive actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to
address jammed bellcranks in the life raft jettison inflation cylinder
percussion system. This condition could result in failure of a life
raft to release in an emergency and subsequent injury to occupants. See
the MCAI for additional background information.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule, but the FAA did not receive any 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 and updating paragraph (m)(1) of this AD. 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

    Airbus Helicopters has issued Alert Service Bulletin EC225-25A211,
Revision 1, dated October 23, 2019. This service information specifies
procedures for replacing any affected life raft release bellcrank with
a serviceable bellcrank. 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.

Other Related Service Information

    Airbus Helicopters has also issued Emergency Alert Service Bulletin
No. 05A050, Revision 0, dated July 22, 2016; and Emergency Alert
Service Bulletin No. 05A050, Revision 1, dated April 3, 2019. This
service information specifies procedures for cleaning and lubricating
each bellcrank and pivot link of the life raft inflation cylinder
percussion system and removing any corrosion.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI

    EASA AD 2019-0287 requires replacing each affected bellcrank with a
serviceable part within 6 months after the effective date of that AD.
This AD requires replacing each affected bellcrank with a serviceable
part within 6 months after the effective date of this AD, or before the
next operation over water, whichever occurs first.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 28 helicopters of U.S.
Registry. Labor rates are estimated at $85 per work-hour. Based on
these numbers, the FAA estimates that operators may incur the following
costs in order to comply with this 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.
    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

    The FAA has determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify 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.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2016-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1655]

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 February 27, 2017.

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-1655, to
Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400 C Street SW., Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 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.
For communities with multiple ongoing Preliminary studies, the studies
can be identified by the unique project number and Preliminary FIRM
date 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.
