Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2021-0881; Project Identifier AD-2020-01062-T;
Amendment 39-21912; AD 2022-02-15]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation
Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-12-06
for all Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation (Gulfstream) Model G-IV
airplanes. AD 2020-12-06 required replacing the nose wheel steering
servo valve manifold, incorporating revised operating procedures into
the airplane flight manual (AFM), doing a records inspection for any
incidents of un-commanded nose wheel steering turns, and reporting the
results to the FAA. Since the FAA issued AD 2020-12-16, the FAA
determined that a typographical error was made in citing one of the AFM
documents. This AD retains the actions of AD 2020-12-06 and corrects
the citation to the AFM. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the
unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective February 24, 2022.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of July 20, 2020
(85 FR 36143, June 15, 2020).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2020-12-06, Amendment 39-21141 (85 FR
36143, June 15, 2020) (AD 2020-12-06). AD 2020-12-06 applied to all
Gulfstream Model G-IV airplanes and required replacing the nose wheel
steering servo valve manifold, incorporating revised operating
procedures into the AFM, doing a records inspection for any incidents
of un-commanded nose wheel steering turns, and reporting the results to
the FAA. The FAA issued AD 2020-12-06 to prevent moisture from entering
the nose steering wheel servo valve, which could freeze and cause an
un-commanded nose wheel steering position during touchdown.
    The NPRM published in the Federal Register on October 26, 2021 (86
FR 59062). The NPRM was prompted by a determination that a
typographical error was made in citing the title of the AFM required by
paragraph (g)(3) of AD 2020-12-06. The paragraph incorrectly references
the document number as ``FAC-AC-G400-OPS-0001'' instead of ``GAC-AC-
G400-OPS-0001.'' In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to retain the actions of
AD 2020-12-06 and to correct the citation to the AFM. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the costs.

Conclusion

    The FAA determined that air safety requires adoption of the AD as
proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products. This AD is adopted as proposed in the
NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    This AD requires Gulfstream IV Customer Bulletin Number 244, dated
March 12, 2018; Gulfstream G300 Customer Bulletin 244, dated March 12,
2018; Gulfstream G400 Customer Bulletin 244, dated March 12, 2018;
Gulfstream IV Airplane Flight Manual, Gulfstream Aerospace Document
Number GAC-AC-GIV-OPS-0001, Revision 52, dated October 30, 2017;
Gulfstream G300 Airplane Flight Manual, Gulfstream Aerospace Document
Number GAC-AC-G300-OPS-0001, Revision 20, dated October 30, 2017; and
Gulfstream G400 Airplane Flight Manual, Gulfstream Aerospace Document
Number GAC-AC-G400-OPS-0001, Revision 20, dated October 30, 2017; which
the Director of the Federal Register approved for incorporation by
reference as of July 20, 2020 (85 FR 36143, June 15, 2020). 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.

Differences Between This AD and the Service Information

    The Gulfstream customer bulletins require reporting compliance with
the bulletins to Gulfstream. This AD does not contain that requirement;
however, this AD requires reporting any known occurrences of un-
commanded nose wheel steering turns to the FAA.
    The Gulfstream customer bulletins include a compliance time of 48
months beginning on March 12, 2018. The compliance time for this AD is
36 months after July 20, 2020 (the effective date of AD 2020-12-06).

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 425 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

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

    The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate.
According to the manufacturer, however, some of the costs of this AD
may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected operators.

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 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 currently 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, searching existing data sources, gathering and
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the
collection of information. All responses to this collection of
information are mandatory. Send comments regarding this burden estimate
or any other aspect of this collection of information, including
suggestions for reducing this burden to: Information Collection
Clearance Officer, Federal Aviation Administration, 10101 Hillwood
Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177-1524.

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.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-498, OMB Control No. 3235-0556]

Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Rule 15b11-1/
Form BD-N

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (``PRA'') (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the
collection of information provided for in Rule 15b11-1 (17 CFR
240.15b11-1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange
Act'') (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) and Form BD-N (17 CFR 249.501b). The
Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information to
the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') for extension and
approval.
    Rule 15b11-1 provides that a broker or dealer may register by
notice pursuant to section 15(b)(11)(A) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C.
78o(b)(11)(A)) if it: (1) is registered with the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission as a futures commission merchant or an introducing
broker, as those terms are defined in the Commodity Exchange Act (7
U.S.C. 1, et seq.); (2) is a member of the National Futures Association
or another national securities association registered under section
15A(k) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78o-3(k)); and (3) is not
required to register as a broker or dealer in connection with
transactions in securities other than security futures products. The
rule also requires a broker or dealer registering by notice to do so by
filing Form BD-N (17 CFR 249.501b) in accordance with the instructions
to the form. In addition, the rule provides that if the information
provided by filing the form is or becomes inaccurate for any reason,
the broker or dealer shall promptly file an amendment on the form
correcting such information.
    The Commission staff estimates that the total annual reporting
burden associated with Rule 15b11-1 and Form BD-N is approximately
three hours, based on an average of zero initial notice registrations
per year that each take approximately 30 minutes to complete, for zero
hours, plus an average of eleven amendments per year that each take
approximately fifteen minutes to complete, for 2.75 hours,

rounded up to three hours, for a total of three hours.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's
estimates of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted by
January 9, 2023.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    Please direct your written comments to: David Bottom, Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o John
Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or send an email to:
[email protected].

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2022-0052]

Notice of Application for Approval of Discontinuance or
Modification of a Railroad Signal System

    Under part 235 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and 49
U.S.C. 20502(a), this document provides the public notice that on May
18, 2022, The Belt Railway Company of Chicago (BRC) petitioned the
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) seeking approval to discontinue
or modify a signal system. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-
2022-0052.
    Specifically, BRC requests permission to make permanent
modifications to multiple locations on its 59th Street Line between
milepost (MP) 2.0 and MP 4.0, on Main Tracks 1 and 2. The modifications
would include the removal of an interlocking plant, removal of signals
and switches, and conversion of a power-operated switch to an electric
lock. BRC states that the removal of these signals will eliminate
obsolete and redundant assets and that the installation of a
microprocessor-based train control system for the electric lock will
offer a higher level of safety and reliability.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov.

    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party
desires an opportunity for oral comment and a public hearing, they
should notify FRA, in writing, before the end of the comment period and
specify the basis for their request.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be submitted at http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for submitting
comments.
    Communications received by August 8, 2022 will be considered by FRA
before final action is taken. Comments received after that date will be
considered if practicable. Anyone can search the electronic form of any
written communications and comments received into any of our dockets by
the name of the individual submitting the comment (or signing the
document, if submitted on behalf of an association, business, labor
union, etc.). Under 5 U.S.C. 553(c), the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) solicits comments from the public to better inform
its processes. DOT posts these comments, without edit, including any
personal information the commenter provides, to www.regulations.gov, as
described in the system of records notice (DOT/ALL-14 FDMS), which can

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-73912; File No. SR-NASDAQ-2014-102]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC;
Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change to Require That a Company
Publicly Disclose the Denial of a Listing Application

December 22, 2014.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on December 11, 2014, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (``Nasdaq'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``SEC'' or ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in
Items I, II, and III, below, which Items have been prepared by the
Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments
on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to require that companies publicly disclose
the denial of a listing application.
    The text of the proposed rule change is below; proposed new
language is in italics. There are no proposed deletions.
* * * * *

5205. The Applications and Qualifications Process

    (a)--(h) No change.
    (i) (1) A Company may withdraw its application for initial listing
at any time.
    (2) A Company that receives a written determination denying its
application for listing must, within four business days, make a public
announcement in a press release or other Regulation FD compliant manner
about the receipt of the determination and the Rule(s) upon which the
determination is based, describing each specific basis and concern
identified by Nasdaq in reaching its determination. If the public
announcement is not made by the Company within the time allotted or
does not include all of the required information, Nasdaq will make a
public announcement with the required information and, if the Company
appeals the determination as set forth in Rule 5815, the Hearings Panel
will consider the Company's failure to make the public announcement in
considering whether to list the Company.
* * * * *

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    Nasdaq processes between 200 and 300 applications each year from
companies seeking to list securities on Nasdaq. While most applicants
meet the listing requirements, or are prepared to take action to meet
those requirements before listing, in some cases a company does not
meet the requirements and is not willing, or able, to comply. In other,
rare instances, Nasdaq may determine to deny an application based on
public interest concerns even though the company meets all initial
listing requirements.\3\ In either of these cases, the company is
informed of the outcome and can withdraw its application before the
application is formally denied.\4\ If the company does not withdraw the
application, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department will issue a
written denial, which the company can appeal to a Listing
Qualifications Hearings Panel.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Listing Rule 5101 and IM-5101-1.
    \4\ While Nasdaq has always allowed a company to withdraw its
application at any time, the proposed rule change will add this to
the rules.
    \5\ Listing Rule 5815(a)(1). A Company that has appealed a
written denial may also withdraw its application (and appeal) while
the appeal is pending.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The procedures for such an appeal are similar to an appeal from a
delisting determination. However, while the rules provide transparency
to a delisting event by requiring the company to disclose a delisting
determination, there is no comparable requirement for disclosure of an
initial listing denial.
    Just as a delisting determination may be considered a material
event to the investing public, Nasdaq believes that a denial of initial
listing is equally so, particularly in the context of a company that
previously publicly announced its intention to seek a listing, which is
often the case. Investors view such an announcement to list as a
positive development and such announcements often attract investor
interest. Nasdaq believes that the public is therefore equally
interested in the outcome of such an application and proposes to adopt
a rule that would require a listing applicant that has been denied
listing to publicly disclose the receipt of the determination and the
circumstances on

which the decision was based.\6\ Just as is the case with a delisting
determination, the proposed rule would require that the disclosure be
made within four business days of receipt of Nasdaq's determination. In
cases where the company fails to make the required disclosure, Nasdaq
would make the disclosure and a Listing Qualifications Hearings Panel
would consider the company's failure to make the required disclosure
when it considers any subsequent appeal of the denial.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The rule would not require disclosure if a company withdraws
its listing application before receiving a written determination
from Nasdaq. Companies withdraw listing applications for many
reasons, including instances where the company is acquired,
determines not to list on an exchange, or lists on another venue. In
addition, Nasdaq does not believe it can enforce a disclosure
requirement after a company has withdrawn from its process.
Nonetheless, Nasdaq believes that such disclosure may be appropriate
and encourages companies to make such disclosure.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act\7\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act\8\ in particular, in that it is designed to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, 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.
The proposed rule change will impose a disclosure requirement on
companies that are denied initial listing on Nasdaq, which will help
protect investors and the public interest by providing transparency to
investors about the status of a company's application. The proposed
rule change will not affect a company's ability to withdraw its listing
application at any time and will add a statement about that ability to
Nasdaq's rules, which will promote just and equitable principles of
trade by enhancing transparency and allowing companies to maintain
control over the consideration of their applications.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed rule change will
impose an additional disclosure requirement on a small universe of
companies and is not expected to affect the number of companies
applying to list on Nasdaq or any other exchange, or any company's
ability to list.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    Within 45 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to
be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the Exchange consents, the Commission shall: (a) By order approve
or disapprove such proposed rule change, or (b) institute proceedings
to determine whether the proposed rule change should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

[Docket No. FAA-2020-0710; Product Identifier 2019-CE-037-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Air Tractor, Inc. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for all Air Tractor, Inc. (Air Tractor) Models AT-250, AT-300, AT-301,
AT-302, AT-400, AT-400A, AT-401, AT-401A, AT-401B, AT-402, AT-402A, AT-
402B, AT-501, AT-502, AT-502A, AT-502B, AT-503, AT-503A, AT-504, AT-
602, AT-802, and AT-802A airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by
reports of cracks in the flap torque tube actuator attachment brackets
that may cause the flap actuator to detach from the flap torque tube.
This proposed AD would require repetitive visual and dye penetrant
inspections of the flap actuator attachment bracket welds for cracks
and replacement if cracks are identified. The FAA is proposing this AD
to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by September
11, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites 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-2020-0710;
Product Identifier 2019-CE-037-AD'' at the beginning of your comments.
The FAA will consider all comments received by the closing date and may
amend this proposed AD because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments we receive, without change, to
https://regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The FAA will also post a report summarizing each substantive
verbal contact it receives about this proposed AD

Confidential Business Information

    Confidential Business Information (CBI) is commercial or financial
information that is both customarily and actually treated as private by
its owner. Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552),
CBI is exempt from public disclosure. If your comments responsive to
this NPRM contain commercial or financial information that is
customarily treated as private, that you actually treat as private, and
that is relevant or responsive to this NPRM, it is important that you
clearly designate the submitted comments as CBI. Please mark each page
of your submission containing CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat
such

marked submissions as confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be
placed in the public docket of this NPRM. Submissions containing CBI
should be sent to [insert name and address of aerospace engineer listed
above]. Any commentary that the FAA receives which is not specifically
designated as CBI will be placed in the public docket for this
rulemaking.

Discussion

    The FAA has received multiple reports of cracks in the brackets
attaching the flap actuator motor to the flap torque tube on several
models of Air Tractor airplanes.
    One of the reports was on a Model AT-802A airplane where the
brackets separated from the torque tube at the welds. The flaps
suddenly retracted while maneuvering, and the pilot temporarily lost
control of the airplane. The pilot was able to regain control of the
airplane before it impacted the ground. Since then, there have been 13
reported airplanes with cracks in the flap torque tube attachment
brackets.
    The design of the flap actuator motor brackets on the Model AT-802A
airplane is the same as on Models AT-250, AT-300, AT-301, AT-302, AT-
400, AT-400A, AT-401, AT-401A, AT-401B, AT-402, AT-402A, AT-402B, AT-
501, AT-502, AT-502A, AT-503, AT-503A, AT-504, AT-602, and AT-802
airplanes.
    This condition, if not addressed, could result in the flap actuator
attachment brackets detaching from the flap torque tube and lead to an
uncommanded retraction of the flaps with consequent loss of airplane
control.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Air Tractor, Inc. Service Letter #347, Revision A,
dated December 9, 2019 (Air Tractor SL #347, Rev A). The service letter
contains procedures for repetitive visual inspections and dye penetrant
inspections of the flap torque tube brackets for cracks and instructs
operators to replace the torque tube as 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

    The FAA is proposing this AD because it 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.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require, within 300 hours time-in-service
(TIS) after the effective date of this AD and thereafter at intervals
not to exceed 900 hours TIS, performing a dye penetrant inspection by
following Air Tractor SL #347, Rev A. Within 300 hours TIS after the
first dye penetrant inspection and thereafter at intervals not to
exceed 300 hours TIS, this proposed AD would require performing a
visual inspection by following Air Tractor SL #347, Rev A.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the Service Information

    Air Tractor SL #347, Rev A provides an allowance (plus or minus 15
percent) for the 300-hour visual inspections, and this proposed AD
would not. Air Tractor SL #347, Rev A specifies performing the dye
penetrant inspection within 900 hours TIS, and this proposed AD would
require the initial dye penetrant inspection within 300 hours TIS. Air
Tractor SL #347, Rev A specifies replacing a cracked torque tube, while
this proposed AD would require replacing a cracked torque tube with a
torque tube that has zero hours TIS. Air Tractor SL #347, Rev A
specifies reporting any cracked welds identified during the inspections
to Air Tractor, and this proposed AD would not.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects 1,662 airplanes of
U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates 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.
    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 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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

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):

Air Tractor, Inc.: Docket No. FAA-2020-0710; Product Identifier
2019-CE-037-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    The FAA must receive comments by September 11, 2020.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Air Tractor, Inc. (Air Tractor), Models AT-
250, AT-300, AT-301, AT-302, AT-400, AT-400A, AT-401, AT-401A, AT-
401B, AT-402, AT-402A, AT-402B, AT-501, AT-502, AT-502A, AT-502B,
AT-503, AT-503A, AT-504, AT-602, AT-802, and AT-802A airplanes, all
serial numbers, certificated in any category.

(d) Subject

    Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC) of America Code: 2750, TE
flap control system.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by reports from Air Tractor that the flap
actuator attachment brackets can crack and detach from the torque
tube. The FAA is issuing this AD to detect and correct cracks in the
flap actuator attachment brackets. The unsafe condition, if not
addressed, could lead to the brackets detaching from the torque
tube, which could result in an uncommanded retraction of the flaps
with consequent loss of airplane control.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Actions

    (1) Within 300 hours time-in-service (TIS) after the effective
date of this AD and thereafter at intervals not to exceed 900 hours
TIS, perform a dye penetrant inspection of each flap torque tube
actuator attachment bracket for cracks in accordance with steps
4B(2) through (7) of Air Tractor, Inc., Service Letter #347,
Revision A, dated December 9, 2019 (Air Tractor SL #347, Rev A).
    (i) If there is a crack, before further flight, replace the flap
torque tube with a flap torque tube that has zero hours TIS.
    (ii) If there are no cracks, before further flight, complete the
actions in steps 4B(9) and (10) of Air Tractor SL #347, Rev A.
    (2) Within 300 hours TIS after the inspection required by
paragraph (g)(1) of this AD and thereafter at intervals not to
exceed 300 hours TIS, visually inspect each

flap torque tube actuator attachment bracket for cracks in
accordance with steps 4A(1) through (3) of Air Tractor SL #347, Rev
A. If there is a crack, before further flight, replace the flap
torque tube with a flap torque tube that has zero hours TIS.
    (3) Replacing a flap torque tube does not terminate the
repetitive visual inspections or dye penetrant inspections required
by this AD.

(h) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, of the Fort Worth ACO Branch, AIR-7F0, has the
authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the
procedures found in 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 manager of the
certification office, sent it to the attention of: Kenneth A. Cook,
Aerospace Engineer, Fort Worth ACO Branch, AIR-7F0, FAA, 10101
Hillwood Pkwy., Fort Worth, TX 76177; phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    (2) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate
principal inspector (PI), or lacking a PI, your local Flight
Standards District Office.
