[Docket No. FAA-2009-0114; Directorate Identifier 2009-NE-03-AD;
Amendment 39-15910; AD 2009-10-14]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Hartzell Propeller Inc. Steel Hub
Turbine Propellers

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
Hartzell Propeller Inc. steel hub turbine propellers, with any
counterweight slug attachment bolts, part number (P/N) B-3386-14H, LFC
manufacturing lot 224, installed. This AD requires identifying and
removing all counterweight slug attachment bolts, P/N B-3386-14H, LFC
manufacturing lot 224, from service and installing serviceable bolts.
This AD results from two reports of failure of the bolts that attach
the propeller blade counterweight slug, and separation of the
counterweight slug which led to propeller vibration and damage to the
propeller spinner. We are issuing this AD to prevent separation of the

propeller blade counterweight slug, which could lead to injury and
damage to the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective June 4, 2009. The Director of the
Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain
publications listed in the regulations as of June 4, 2009.
    We must receive any comments on this AD by July 20, 2009.

ADDRESSES: Use one of the following addresses to comment on this AD:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In October 2008, we became aware of two
reports of failure of the bolts that attach the propeller blade
counterweight slug, and separation of the counterweight slug which led
to propeller vibration and damage to the propeller spinner.
Investigation by Hartzell Propeller Inc. revealed that the bolts failed
due to a bolt manufacturing defect. Hartzell Propeller Inc. determined
that the bolts in LFC manufacturing lot 224, are suspect for having
this defect. This condition, if not corrected, could result in
separation of the propeller blade counterweight slug, which could lead
to injury and damage to the airplane.

Relevant Service Information

    We have reviewed and approved the technical contents of Hartzell
Propeller Inc. Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) No. HC-ASB-61-313, Revision
2, dated March 27, 2009. That ASB lists the affected Hartzell Propeller
Inc. steel hub turbine propeller models and describes procedures for
identifying and removing all counterweight slug attachment bolts, P/N
B-3386-14H, LFC manufacturing lot 224, from service, and installing
serviceable bolts.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD

    The unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or
develop on other Hartzell Propeller Inc. steel hub turbine propellers
of the same type design. For that reason, we are issuing this AD to
prevent separation of the propeller blade counterweight slug, which
could lead to injury and damage to the airplane. This AD requires
identifying and removing all counterweight slug attachment bolts, P/N
B-3386-14H, LFC manufacturing lot 224, from service, within the next 50
flight hours after the effective date of the AD, and installing
serviceable bolts. You must use the service information described
previously to perform the actions required by this AD.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    Since an unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate
adoption of this AD, we have found that notice and opportunity for
public comment before issuing this AD are impracticable, and that good
cause exists for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety and was not preceded by notice and an opportunity for public
comment; however, we invite you to send us any written relevant data,
views, or arguments regarding this AD. Send your comments to an address
listed under ADDRESSES. Include ``AD Docket No. FAA-2009-0114;
Directorate Identifier 2009-NE-03-AD'' in the subject line of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of the rule that might
suggest a need to modify it.
    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
with FAA personnel concerning this AD. Using the search function of the
Web site, anyone can find and read the comments in any of our dockets,
including, if provided, the name of the individual who sent the comment
(or signed the comment on behalf of an association, business, labor
union, etc.). You may review the DOT's complete Privacy Act Statement
in the Federal Register published on April 11, 2000 (65 FR 19477-78).

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains this AD, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is the same as
the Mail address provided in the ADDRESSES section. Comments will be
available in the AD docket shortly after receipt.

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 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. 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 a summary of the costs to comply with this AD and
placed it in the AD Docket. You may get a copy of this summary at the
address listed under ADDRESSES.

[Docket No. USCG-2011-0785]
RIN 1625-AA08

Special Local Regulation; HITS Triathlon; Corpus Christi
Bayfront, Corpus Christi, TX

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary Final rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) (B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule. The Coast Guard received notice and
application for this event on or about August 15, 2011. The Coast Guard
reviewed the planned event and determined that a special local
regulation is needed to protect event participants from the possible
hazards associated with local boat traffic in the area, but that
determination was not completed in time for a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking to be prepares and comments to be received. Delaying or
foregoing this rule to publish a NPRM would unnecessarily interfere
with the contractual obligations that may be involved with the event
and would forego the safety measures necessary to protect the event
participants. The public interest in holding this event as scheduled
outweighs the chance that this temporary rule will interfere with
vessel traffic in a meaningful way. This rule does provide a full 30-
day period before its effective date.

Basis and Purpose

    On February 18 and 19, 2012 the HITS triathlon will take place near
and in the Corpus Christi Bayfront area. This temporary special local
regulation is necessary to ensure the safety of HITS Triathlon
participants and protect them from the possible hazards associated
vessel traffic inside the waters of the Corpus Christi Bayfront area
during this event.

Discussion of the Rule

    This special local regulation is intended to restrict vessel
traffic from a portion of the Corpus Christi Bayfront area for the swim
portion of the triathlon. The size of the zone was determined by
natural barriers on all 4 sides of the race course and local knowledge
about wind, waves, and currents in this particular area.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does not
require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section
6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under that Order.
    The Coast Guard has determined that this rule is not a significant
regulatory action for the following reasons: (1) The rule will be
enforced for four hours a day for two days; (2) scheduled breaks will
be provided to allow waiting vessels to transit safely through the
affected area; (3) persons and vessels may enter, transit through,
anchor in, or remain within the regulated area if they obtain
permission from the COTP or the designated representative; and (4)
advance notification of amplifying information about the event and this
regulation will be made to the maritime community via broadcast notice
to mariners and Local Notice to Mariners (LNM).

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small entities''
comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are
independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields,
and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    This rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons: (1)
This rule will only be enforced not more than 4 hours each day; (2)
during non-enforcement hours all vessels will be allowed to transit
through the special local regulation zone without having to obtain
permission; (3) vessels will be allowed to pass through the zone with
permission of the Coast Guard Patrol Commander during scheduled break
periods between races and at other times when permitted by the Coast
Guard Patrol Commander.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), in the NPRM we offered to
assist small entities in understanding the rule so that they could
better evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking
process.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-(888) 734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520.).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule would not result
in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This rule would not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and would not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it would not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
this action is one of a category of actions which do not individually
or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment.
This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph
(34)(h), of the Instruction. This rule involves the establishment of a
Special Local Regulation in conjunction with a marine event permit.
Under the terms of the instruction, an environmental analysis checklist
and a categorical exclusion determination are not required for this
regulation.

Northland Power Mississippi River LLC; Notice of Preliminary
Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions
To Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On January 3, 2011, Northland Power Mississippi River LLC filed an
application, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act,
proposing to study the feasibility of hydropower on the Mississippi
River, near the town of St. Gabriel, in Iberville Parish, Louisiana.
The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the
permit holder priority to file a license application during the permit
term. A preliminary permit does not authorize the permit holder to
perform any land-disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands or
waters owned by others without the owners' express permission.
    The proposed NPI 024 hydrokinetic project would consist of the
following: (1) Up to 300 TREK generating units installed in a matrix on
the bottom of the river; (2) the total capacity of the installation
would be up to 75,000 kilowatts; (3) shielded underwater cables would
convey each matrix power to a substation; and (4) a transmission

line would interconnect with the power grid. The proposed project would
have an average annual generation of 657 gigawatt-hours (GWh), which
would be sold to a local utility.
