DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Office of the Secretary

[Docket No. DOT-OST-2015-0194]

30-Day Notice of Application for New Information Collection
Request

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary (OST), Department of Transportation
(Department) or (DOT).

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
Department of Transportation's (DOT) Office of the Secretary (OST)
announces its plan to submit the Information Collection Request (ICR)
described below to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for its
review and approval and invites public comment. Executive Order 12862
directs Federal agencies to provide service to the public that matches
or exceeds the best service available in the private sector. In order
to work continuously to ensure that our programs are effective and meet
our customers' needs, the Department of Transportation (DOT) seeks to
obtain OMB approval of a generic clearance to collect feedback on our
service delivery. A Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on this information collection was published
on November 12, 2015 (80 FR 70077-8). The purpose of this notice is to
allow for an additional 30 days of public comment.

DATES: Comments on this notice must be received by March 10, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Your comments should be identified by Docket No. DOT-OST-
2015-0194 and may be submitted through one of the following methods:
     Office of Management and Budget, Attention: Desk Officer
for U.S. Department of Transportation, Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, Docket Library,
Room 10102, 725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20503
     email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>     Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>. Attention: DOT/OST Desk Officer.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Habib Azarsina, Office of the Chief
Information Officer, Office of the Secretary, U.S. Department of
Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC, 20590, 202-
366-1965 (Voice),<PHONE_NUMBER> (Fax), or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>(Email).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback
on Agency Service Delivery.
    Abstract: The information collection activity will garner
qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely
manner, in accordance with the Department's commitment to improving
service delivery. By qualitative feedback we mean information that
provides useful insights on perceptions and opinions, but are not
statistical surveys that yield quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study. This feedback will provide
insights into customer or stakeholder perceptions, experiences and
expectations, provide an early warning of issues with service, or focus
attention on areas where communication, training or changes in
operations might improve delivery of products or services. These
collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative and actionable
communications between the Department of Transportation and its
customers and stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to contribute
directly to the improvement of program management. Feedback collected
under this generic clearance will provide useful information, but it
will not yield data that can be generalized to the overall population.
    The Department will only submit a collection for approval under
this generic clearance if it meets the following conditions:
     The collections are voluntary.
     The collections are low-burden for respondents (based on
considerations of total burden hours, total number of respondents, or
burden-hours per respondent) and are low-cost for both the respondents
and the Federal Government.
     The collections are noncontroversial and do not raise
issues of concern to other Federal agencies.
     Any collection is targeted to the solicitation of opinions
from respondents who have experience with the program or may have
experience with the program in the near future.
     Personally identifiable information (PII) is collected
only to the extent necessary and is not retained.
    Information gathered is intended to be used only internally for
general service improvement and program management

purposes and is not intended for release outside of the Department (if
released, the Department must indicate the qualitative nature of the
information).
    This type of generic clearance for qualitative information will not
be used for quantitative information collections that are designed to
yield reliably actionable results, such as monitoring trends over time
or documenting program performance. Such data uses require more
rigorous designs that address: The target population to which
generalizations will be made, the sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering), the precision requirements
or power calculations that justify the proposed sample size, the
expected response rate, methods for assessing potential nonresponse
bias, the protocols for data collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior to fielding the study. Depending
on the degree of influence the results are likely to have, such
collections may still be eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield quantitative results.
    Affected Public: Individuals and households, businesses and
organizations, State, Local or Tribal Governments.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 6,000.
    Estimated Annual Responses: 2,000.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 2,000 hours.
    Frequency: One-time requirement.

    Issued in Washington, DC on January 27, 2016.

Chief Privacy & Information Asset Officer.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-65886; File No. SR-CME-2011-16]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Inc.;
Notice of Filing and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of Proposed
Rule Change To Revise Rules Relating to Its Cleared Only OTC FX Swap
Offering

December 5, 2011.
    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 November 25, 2011, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc. (``CME'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the
proposed rule change described in Items I and II below, which items
have been prepared primarily by CME. The Commission is publishing this
Notice and Order to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from
interested persons and to approve the proposed rule change on an
accelerated basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    CME proposes to amend rules related to existing cleared-only
foreign exchange (``FX'') currency derivatives products. The proposed
rule changes make revisions to rules that were the subject of a recent
filing, SR-CME-2011-12.\3\ The changes correct inadvertent rule
language that was included in SR-CME-2011-12.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Commission staff notes that SR-CME-2011-12 was previously
approved pursuant to delegated authority on October 26, 2011. See
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 65637, 76 FR 67512 (Nov. 1,
2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The text of the proposed rule change is available at the CME's Web
site at http://www.cmegroup.com, at the principal office of CME, and at
the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, CME included statements
concerning the purpose 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 III below. CME 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 Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In late September, 2011, CME submitted proposed rule changes in
filing SR-CME-2011-12 to establish rules to expand its cleared-only,
foreign currency (``FX'') swaps offering to support the introduction of
(1) twenty-six new foreign FX currency derivatives for over-the counter
(``OTC'') cash settlement; and (2) eleven new FX non-deliverable
forward transaction

currency pairs for traditional, OTC cash settlement.
    CME wishes to amend two aspects of the rules package that was
adopted in connection with SR-CME-2011-12. The changes address Chapter
271H and in Chapter 273H and are intended to correct inadvertent rule
language that was initially included in the changes brought in by SR-
CME-2011-12. The first change involves Rule 271H.01.C. which deals with
minimum price increments for the Cleared OTC U.S. Dollar/Korean Won
contract; the change is intended to correct an erroneous reference to
0.0001 in the rule by specifying the correct increment of 0.01. The
second rule change involves in Rule 273H.02.A, a rule that addresses
cash settlement of the Cleared OTC U.S. Dollar/Colombian Peso contract;
the change is intended to remove a paragraph that references a method
of determining settlement prices that is not currently available.
    CME believes the proposed changes are consistent with the
requirements of the Exchange Act including Section 17A of the Exchange
Act because they involve clearing of swaps and thus relate solely to
CME's swaps clearing activities pursuant to its registration as a
derivatives clearing organization under the Commodity Exchange Act
(``CEA'') and do not significantly affect any securities clearing
operations of the clearing agency or any related rights or obligations
of the clearing agency or persons using such service. CME further notes
that the policies of the CEA with respect to clearing are comparable to
a number of the policies underlying the Exchange Act, such as promoting
market transparency for over-the-counter derivatives markets, promoting
the prompt and accurate clearance of transactions and protecting
investors and the public interest. The proposed rule changes accomplish
those objectives by offering investors clearing for a range of FX OTC
swap products.

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

    CME does not believe that the proposed rule change will have any
impact, or impose any burden, on competition.

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

    CME has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit, comments
regarding this proposed rule change. CME has not received any
unsolicited written comments from interested parties.

III. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views and
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:
     Electronic comments may be submitted by using the
Commission's Internet comment form (http://www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml), or send an email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Please include
File No. SR-CME-2011-16 on the subject line.
     Paper comments should be sent in triplicate to Elizabeth
M. Murphy, Secretary, Securities and Exchange Commission, 100 F Street
NE., Washington, DC 20549-1090.
    All submissions should refer to File Number SR-CME-2011-16. This
file number should be included on the subject line if email is used. To
help the Commission process and review your comments more efficiently,
please use only one method. The Commission will post all comments on
the Commission's Internet Web site (http://www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml). Copies of the submission, all subsequent amendments, all
written statements with respect to the proposed rule change that are
filed with the Commission, and all written communications relating to
the proposed rule change between the Commission and any person, other
than those that may be withheld from the public in accordance with the
provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552, will be available for Web site viewing and
printing in the Commission's Public Reference Room, 100 F Street NE.,
Washington, DC 20549 on official business days between the hours of 10
a.m. and 3 p.m. Copies of such filing also will be available for
inspection and copying at the principal office of CME. All comments
received will be posted without change; the Commission does not edit
personal identifying information from submissions. You should submit
only information that you wish to make available publicly. All
submissions should refer to File Number SR-CME-2011-16 and should be
submitted on or before December 30, 2011.

IV. Commission's Findings and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of
Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing, CME requested that the Commission approve this
request on an accelerated basis for good cause shown. CME has
articulated three reasons for granting this request on an accelerated
basis. One, the products covered by this filing, and CME's operations
as a derivatives clearing organization for such products, are regulated
by the CFTC under the CEA. Two, the proposed rule changes relate solely
to FX swap clearing and therefore relate solely to its swaps clearing
activities and do not significantly relate to CME's functions as a
clearing agency for security-based swaps. Three, not approving this
request on an accelerated basis will have a significant impact on the
swap clearing business of CME as a designated clearing organization.
    Section 19(b) of the Act \4\ directs the Commission to approve a
proposed rule change of a self-regulatory organization if it finds that
such proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to such
organization. The Commission finds that the proposed rule change is
consistent with the requirements of the Act, in particular the
requirements of Section 17A of the Act,\5\ and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to CME. Specifically, the Commission
finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section
17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act which requires, among other things, that the
rules of a clearing agency be designed to promote the prompt and
accurate clearance and settlement of derivative agreements, contracts,
and transactions because it should allow CME to enhance its services in
clearing FX swaps, thereby promoting the prompt and accurate clearance
and settlement of derivative agreements, contracts, and
transactions.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b).
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1. In approving this proposed rule change, the
Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency,
competition, and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission finds good cause, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of
the Act,\7\ for approving the proposed rule change prior to the 30th
day after the date of publication of notice in the Federal Register
because: (i) The proposed rule change does not significantly affect any
securities clearing operations of the clearing agency (whether in
existence or contemplated by its rules) or any related rights or
obligations of the clearing agency or persons using such service; (ii)
CME has indicated that not providing accelerated approval would have a
significant impact on the swap clearing business of CME as a designated
clearing organization; and (iii) the activity relating to the non-
security clearing operations of the

clearing agency for which the clearing agency is seeking approval is
subject to regulation by another regulator.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

V. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,
that the proposed rule change (SR-CME-2011-16) is approved on an
accelerated basis.

    For the Commission by the Division of Trading and Markets,
pursuant to delegated authority.\8\

    Title: Air Bag Deactivation.
    Type of Review: Renewal of a previously approved information
collection.
    Abstract: If a private individual or lessee wants to install an air
bag on-off switch to turn-off either or both frontal air bags, they
must complete Form OMB 2127-0588 to certify certain statements
regarding use of the switch. The dealer or business must, in turn,
submit the completed forms to NHTSA within seven days. The submission
of the completed forms by the dealers and repair business to NHTSA, as
required, will serve the agency several purposes. They will aid the
agency in monitoring the number of authorization requests submitted and
the pattern in claims of risk group membership. The completed forms
will enable the agency to determine whether the dealers and repair
business are complying with the terms of the exemption, which include a
requirement that the dealers and repair businesses accept only fully
completed forms. Finally, submission of the completed forms to the
agency will promote honesty and accuracy in the filling out of the
forms by vehicle owners. The air bag on-off switches are installed only
in vehicles in which the risk of harm needs to be minimized on a case-
by-case basis.
    Affected Public: Private Individuals, fleet owners and lessees,
motor vehicle dealers, and repair business.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 750.
    Number of Responses: 750.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 375.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the Department's
performance; (b) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for the
Department to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the
information collection; and (d) ways that the burden could be minimized
without reducing the quality of the collected information. The agency
will summarize and/or include your comments in the request for OMB's
clearance of this information collection.

    Authority:  The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters

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 Airbus Helicopters Model AS355E, AS355F, AS355F1, AS355F2, and
AS355N helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of a
partially broken tail rotor drive fan support (fan support) and a
completely broken fan support. This proposed AD would require
repetitively inspecting certain part-numbered fan supports (affected
parts), and depending on the results, removing an affected part from
service and replacing it with a serviceable part, which constitutes
terminating action for the repetitive inspections. This proposed AD
would also require replacing affected parts with serviceable parts
unless already accomplished and prohibit installing an affected part on
any helicopter, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference. 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 January 19,
2023.

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

     Mail: U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket
Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590.
     Hand Delivery: Deliver to Mail address above between 9
a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.
    Ad Docket: You may examine the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2022-1490; or in person at Docket Operations between 9
a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD
docket contains this NPRM, the EASA AD, any comments received, and
other information. The street address for Docket Operations is listed

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2022-1490; Project Identifier
MCAI-2022-01177-R'' at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the proposal, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposal 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 received, without change, to
regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. The
agency will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal
contact received about this NPRM.

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 Jared
Hyman, Aerospace Engineer, Boston ACO Branch, Compliance &
Airworthiness Division, FAA, 1200 District Avenue, Burlington,
Massachusetts 01803; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>; email [email protected]. Any commentary that the FAA receives that is not
specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the public docket for
this rulemaking.

Background

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued a series of EASA ADs with the most recent
being EASA AD 2022-0180, dated August 29, 2022 (EASA AD 2022-0180), to
correct an unsafe condition for Airbus Helicopters, formerly
Eurocopter, Eurocopter France, Aerospatiale, Model AS 355 E, AS 355 F,
AS 355 F1, AS 355 F2, and AS 355 N helicopters, all serial numbers.
    This proposed AD was prompted by a report of a partially broken
right-hand side (RH) fan support and a completely broken left-hand side
(LH) fan support found during scheduled maintenance on a Model AS355
helicopter. The FAA is proposing this AD to detect a cracked or broken
fan support leg. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result
in loss of main gearbox and engine oil cooling function, loss of tail
rotor drive, and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter. See EASA
AD 2022-0180 for additional background information.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2022-0180 requires repetitively inspecting certain part-
numbered RH and LH fan supports for a crack and broken leg and, if
there is any crack or broken leg, replacing the affected fan support
with a serviceable fan support. If the replacement is not required as a
result of the inspection, EASA AD 2022-0180 requires the replacement at
a longer compliance time. EASA AD 2022-0180 also states that the
replacement constitutes terminating action for the repetitive
inspections and prohibits installing an affected part on any
helicopter.
    This material 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

    The FAA also reviewed Airbus Helicopters Alert Service Bulletin No.
AS355-05.00.88, Revision 1, dated July 20, 2022. This service
information specifies procedures for inspecting the RH and LH fan
supports for a crack and failure (broken leg), replacing an affected
part with a serviceable part, and performing a balancing of the tail
rotor drive shaft.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by EASA and are approved for
operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral
agreement with the European Union, EASA has notified the FAA about the
unsafe condition described in its AD. The FAA is proposing this AD
after evaluating all known relevant information and determining that
the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop
on other helicopters of these same type designs.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the EASA AD, described previously, as incorporated by reference,
except for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory
text of this proposed AD and except as discussed under ``Differences
Between this Proposed AD and the EASA AD.''

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation
authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance
with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has been
coordinating this process with manufacturers and CAAs. As a result, the
FAA proposes to incorporate EASA AD 2022-0180 by reference in the FAA
final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require compliance with
EASA AD 2022-0180 in its entirety through that incorporation, except
for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of
this proposed AD. Using common terms that are the same as the heading
of a particular section in EASA AD 2022-0180 does not mean that
operators need comply only with that section. For example, where the AD
requirement refers to ``all required actions and compliance times,''
compliance with this AD requirement is not limited to the section
titled ``Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)'' in EASA AD 2022-
0180. Service information referenced in EASA AD 2022-0180 for
compliance will be available at regulations.gov by searching for and
locating Docket No. FAA-2022-1490 after the FAA final rule is
published.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the EASA AD

    EASA AD 2022-0180 requires replacing each affected part with a
serviceable part if any crack or broken leg is found during any
required inspection or if the replacement was not previously performed
as a result of an inspection, whereas this proposed AD would require
removing each affected part from service and replacing with a
serviceable part if any crack or broken leg is found during any
required inspection or if the replacement was not previously performed
as a result of an inspection.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 31 helicopters of U.S. Registry. Labor rates are estimated at
$85 per work-hour. Based on these numbers, the FAA estimates the
following costs to comply with this proposed AD.
    Visually inspecting a fan support for a crack and broken leg would
take about 1 work-hour for an estimated cost of $170 per helicopter (2
fan supports per helicopter) per inspection cycle and up to $5,270 for
the U.S. fleet per inspection cycle.
    Replacing a fan support would take about 8 work-hours and parts
would cost about $600 for an estimated cost of $1,280 per replacement
and up to $39,680 for the U.S. fleet.

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) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and

    (3) Would 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

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:

Airbus Helicopters: Docket No. FAA-2022-1490; Project Identifier
MCAI-2022-01177-R.

(a) Comments Due Date

    The FAA must receive comments on this airworthiness directive
(AD) by January 19, 2023.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Airbus Helicopters Model AS355E, AS355F,
AS355F1, AS355F2, and AS355N helicopters, all serial numbers,
certificated in any category.

(d) Subject

    Joint Aircraft Service Component (JASC) Code: 6500, Tail Rotor
Drive System.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by a report of a partially broken right-
hand side tail rotor drive fan support (fan support) and a
completely broken left-hand side fan support. The FAA is issuing
this AD to detect a cracked or broken fan support leg. The unsafe
condition, if not addressed, could result in loss of main gearbox
and engine oil cooling function, loss of tail rotor drive, and
subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

(f) Compliance
