[Docket No. FAA-2011-1091; Directorate Identifier 2011-NM-037-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; EADS CASA (Type Certificate Previously
Held by Construcciones Aeronauticas, S.A.) Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Model CN-235-100, CN-235-200, and CN-235-300 airplanes. This
proposed AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information
(MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to
identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The
MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

    EADS-CASA received reports of engine condition control cable * *
* failures that, in one of the cases, occurred during the starting
phase of one engine which led to an engine shut down following the
procedures described within the Aircraft Operation Manual.
    The investigation revealed that the cable failure is due to a
fracture in the area of the pulley * * *. The root cause of the
fracture is an unsuitable ratio between the diameter of the pulley
and the cable type and diameter.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to the
engine condition control cable failure and consequent runway
excursion if it occurs during take-off or reduced control of the
aeroplane if it occurs during flight.
* * * * *
    The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address
the unsafe condition described in the MCAI.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by December 9,
2011.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2011-0010, dated January 20, 2011 (referred to
after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    EADS-CASA received reports of engine condition control cable
(Part Number (P/N) 35-56382-0003) failures that, in one of the
cases, occurred during the starting phase of one engine which led to
an engine shut down following the procedures described within the
Aircraft Operation Manual.
    The investigation revealed that the cable failure is due to a
fracture in the area of the pulley MS 20219-1. The root cause of the
fracture is an unsuitable ratio between the diameter of the pulley
and the cable type and diameter.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to the
engine condition control cable failure and consequent runway
excursion if it occurs during take-off or reduced control of the
aeroplane if it occurs during flight.
    To address this condition, EADS-CASA has developed an engine
condition control cable P/N 35-56382-0005 with improved
characteristics.
    For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD requires, at
first, [an inspection to determine the part number of the engine
condition control cable] [repetitive detailed] inspections for
[excessive wear] of the [affected] engine condition control cable,
and its replacement (scheduled or depending of the inspection
findings) with engine condition control cable P/N 35-56382-0005.
    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Airbus Military has issued Section 76-10-00, ``Power and Condition
Control,'' Block 601 (Configuration 1), ``Inspection/Check,'' Paragraph
1.B.; and Section 76-10-12, ``Power and Control Cables,'' Block 401
(Configuration 1),

``Removal/Installation,'' Paragraph 3.; of the CN-235 Aircraft
Maintenance Manual, Revision 57, dated July 15, 2010. The actions
described in this aircraft maintenance manual are intended to correct
the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have proposed different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a NOTE within the proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 7 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that
it would take about 2 work-hours per product to comply with the basic
requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $85 per
work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed
AD on U.S. operators to be $1,190, or $170 per product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions would
take about 12 work-hours and require parts costing $1,087, for a cost
of $2,107 per product. We have no way of determining the number of
products that may need these actions.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); 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 regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

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:

Background and Purpose

    The Maritime Museum of San Diego is sponsoring the Festival of Sail
2008 Ship's Parade, which will transit through San Diego Bay. The event
is a classic naval review consisting of 15 tall ships of various
classes, some of which are restricted in their maneuverability. The
sponsor will provide 16 enforcement vessels to patrol this event. This
temporary safety zone is necessary to provide for the safety of the
participants, crew, spectators, sponsor vessels, and other users of the
waterway.

Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard proposes a safety zone that would be enforced from
10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on August 20, 2008. The limits of the safety zone
would be as follows: The route would start at 32[deg]37.15' N,
117[deg]14.07' W and would proceed northeast between green Buoy
3 and red Buoy 4 at 32[deg]3812' N, 117[deg]13.74' W,
then north between green Buoy 5 and red Buoy 6 at
32[deg]39.14' N, 117[deg]13.51' W, then north through the harbor
channel to 32[deg]42.07' N, 117[deg]13.90' W, and then northeast to
32[deg]43.11' N, 117[deg]12.71' W, and then east to 32[deg]43.13' N,
117[deg]11.12' W, and finally southeast to the Coronado Bridge at
32[deg]41.45' N, 11[deg]09.18' W.
    This safety zone is necessary to provide for the safety of the
crews, spectators, and participants of the event and to protect other
vessels and users of the waterway. Persons and vessels will be
prohibited from entering into, transiting through, or anchoring within
this safety zone unless authorized by the Captain of the Port, or his
designated representative.

Regulatory Evaluation

    This proposed 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.
    We expect the economic impact of this proposed rule to be so
minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary.
    This determination is based on the size and location of the safety
zone. Commercial vessels will be not be hindered by the safety zone.
Recreational vessels will not be allowed to transit through the
designated safety zone during the specified times.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this proposed 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 proposed
rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.
    This proposed rule would affect the following entities, some of
which might be small entities: the owners or operators of vessels
intending to transit or anchor in the San Diego Bay from 10 a.m. to 1
p.m. on August 20, 2000.
    This safety zone would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons. This
rule would be in effect for only three hours for a period of one day.
Vessel traffic could pass safely around the safety zone. Before the
effective period, the Coast Guard will publish a local notice to
mariners (LNM) and will issue broadcast notice to mariners (BNM) alerts
via marine channel 16 VHF before the safety zone is enforced.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule so that they can better
evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. If the
rule would affect your small business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or
options for compliance, please contact Petty Officer Kristen Beer,
USCG, Waterways Management, U.S. Coast Guard Sector San Diego at (619)
278-7233. 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 proposed rule would call 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 proposed 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 or more in any
one year. Though this proposed 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 proposed rule would not effect 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 proposed 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 proposed 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 proposed 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 proposed 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 proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD which guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination that this action is not likely to
have a significant effect on the human environment. A preliminary
``Environmental Analysis Check List'' supporting this preliminary
determination is available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information that may lead to the
discovery of a significant environmental impact from this proposed
rule.

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2023-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-2356]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland
Security.

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).

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before October 30, 2023.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location https://hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/prelimdownload 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
https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-2356, 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 protected].

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 protected]; or visit the FEMA Mapping and Insurance
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://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.
    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 https://www.floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_overview.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
https://hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/prelimdownload 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 https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.

Amendment 39-16946; AD 2012-03-05]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier Inc., Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Bombardier, Inc. Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11 airplanes. This AD
was prompted by a report of deformation at the neck of the pressure
regulator body on certain oxygen cylinder and regulator assemblies
(CRA). This AD requires an inspection to determine if a certain oxygen
CRA is installed and the replacement of oxygen CRAs containing pressure
regulators having a certain part number. We are issuing this AD to
prevent elongation of the pressure regulator neck, which could result
in rupture of the oxygen cylinder, and in the case of cabin
depressurization, oxygen not being available when required.

DATES: This AD becomes effective March 23, 2012.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of March 23,
2012.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov or in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on October 26, 2011 (76
FR 66198). The MCAI states:

    During a routine inspection, deformation was found at the neck
of the pressure regulator body on the oxygen Cylinder and Regulator
Assemblies (CRA).
    An investigation by the vendor, Avox Systems Inc., revealed that
the deformation was attributed to two (2) batches of raw material
that did not meet the required tensile strength. This may cause
elongation of the pressure regulator neck, which could result in
rupture of the oxygen cylinder, and in the case of cabin
depressurization, oxygen not being available when required.
    This [Canadian] directive mandates [an inspection to determine
if a certain oxygen CRA is installed and] the replacement of oxygen
CRAs containing pressure regulators, part number (P/N) 806370-06,
that do not meet the required material properties.

    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (76 FR 66198, October 26,
2011), or on the determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed except for
minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (76 FR 66198, October 26, 2011), for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (76 FR 66198, October 26, 2011).

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 39 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 10 work-hours per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $0 per product.
Where the service information lists required parts costs that are
covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no charge
for these parts. As we do not control warranty coverage for affected
parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated here. Based
on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to the U.S. operators
to be $33,150, or $850 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this 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);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

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 the NPRM (76 FR 66198, October 26,
2011), the regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and other

Federal Aviation Administration

Notice of Opportunity for Public Comment on Disposal of 57 Acres
of Airport Land at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport in Manchester, NH

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Request for public comments.

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

    Under the provisions of Title 49, U.S.C. Section 47153(d), notice
is being given that the FAA is considering a request from the
Manchester-Boston Regional Airport in Manchester, NH, to dispose of 57
acres of airport land that is not required for aviation purposes at
Manchester-Boston Regional Airport.
    The subject parcel has been identified as property no longer needed
for aviation use by the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. The
property is comprised of two (2) adjacent parcels of land, one located
off of Pettengill Road in the Town of Londonderry, Rockingham County,
New Hampshire and shown on the Town of Londonderry Tax Map as Map14/Lot
49-1, and the other located on Brown Avenue in the City of Manchester,
Hillsborough County, New Hampshire shown on the City of Manchester Tax
Map as Map 712, Lot 1B. The property was originally purchased as
wetland mitigation land for the extension of Runway 35 in 2001. The
property is located on the southwesterly side of the airport; it is a
significant distance from the airfield environs.
    Shortly after the land was acquired, it was determined by both the
state and federal agencies having jurisdiction that the wetland
mitigation requirements imposed upon the Airport with respect to the
Trolley Crossing property were no longer required, and that the
Property should be preserved as a wildlife corridor. Given the use of
the property at this time, the airport determined that it was
appropriate to identify New Hampshire Fish and Game, an environmentally
oriented state agency, to continue to maintain the property in its
natural state as a wildlife corridor in perpetuity.
    The land will be transferred as a public benefit to the New
Hampshire Fish and Game. A perpetual restrictive covenant is to be
placed on the land that

includes avigation easements and reversion clauses to ensure that
aviation is not impacted by the property in the future. The restrictive
covenant will be incorporated at the time of the land transfer.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 20, 2017.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments using any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not provide you with notice and an opportunity to
provide your comments prior to it becoming effective. However, we
invite you to participate in this rulemaking by submitting written
comments, data, or views. We also invite comments relating to the
economic, environmental, energy, or federalism impacts that resulted
from adopting this AD. The most helpful comments reference a specific
portion of the AD, explain the reason for any recommended change, and
include supporting data. To ensure the docket does not contain
duplicate comments, commenters should send only one copy of written
comments, or if comments are filed electronically, commenters should
submit them only one time. We will file in the docket all comments that
we receive, as well as a report summarizing each substantive public
contact with FAA personnel concerning this rulemaking during the
comment period. We will consider all the comments we receive and may
conduct additional rulemaking based on those comments.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Emergency AD No. 2013-0282-E, dated November 27, 2013, to correct an
unsafe condition for Agusta Model AB 212, AB 412, and AB 412EP
helicopters. EASA advises of two reports of oil leakage from the main
transmission lubricating system oil outlet hose, part number 70-
061L275W210A, caused by damage on the hose. EASA further states an
investigation has not determined the root cause, but that relative
movement between the data plate and the hose assembly may have been a
contributing factor. EASA advises that if not corrected, this condition
could lead to transmission lubricating system failure and reduced
control of the helicopter.
    As a result, EASA Emergency AD No. 2013-0282-E requires inspecting
the portion of the hose accessible through the cargo hook opening for
damage within 10 flight hours, and every 100 flight hours thereafter,
and inspecting the portion of the hose accessible through the left side
of the pylon for damage within 35 flight hours, and every 25 flight
hours thereafter. If there is damage to the hose, EASA Emergency AD No.
2013-0282-E requires replacing the hose with a serviceable hose.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by the aviation authority of
Italy and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
our bilateral agreement with Italy, EASA, its technical representative,
has notified us of the unsafe condition described in the EASA AD. We
are issuing this AD because we evaluated all information provided by
EASA and determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist
or develop on other helicopters of the same type design.

Related Service Information

    We reviewed Agusta Bollettino Tecnico (BT) No. 412-137, dated
November 26, 2013. BT No. 412-137 describes procedures for repetitively
inspecting the stainless steel hose braiding beneath the hose data
plates for damage, fretting, or broken wires.

AD Requirements

    This AD requires:
     Within 10 hours time-in-service (TIS), and thereafter at
intervals not to exceed 100 hours TIS, inspecting the stainless steel
hose braiding for damage, fretting, and broken wires in the area below
the transmission oil sump, in the external cargo hook opening.
     Within 35 hours TIS, and thereafter at intervals not to
exceed 25 hours TIS, inspecting the stainless steel hose braiding for
damage, fretting, and broken wires in the area of the transmission oil
sump behind the left side pylon access door.
     If there is any damage, fretting, or any broken wires,
replacing the hose before further flight.

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    This AD does not apply to Model AB 212 or AB 412EP helicopters, as
these models are not type-certificated in the U.S.

Interim Action

    We consider this AD to be an interim action. If final action is
later identified, we might consider further rulemaking then.

Costs of Compliance

    There are no costs of compliance with this AD because there are no
helicopters with this type certificate on the U.S. Registry.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    There are no helicopters with this type certificate on the U.S.
Registry. Therefore, we believe it is unlikely that we will receive any
adverse comments or useful information about this AD from U.S.
Operators.
    Since an unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate
adoption of this AD, we determined that notice and opportunity for
public comment before issuing this AD are unnecessary because there are
none of these products on the U.S. Registry and that good cause exists
for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this 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, I certify that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent that
it justifies making a regulatory distinction; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
