B. Regulatory History and Information

    The Coast Guard is proposing to establish this temporary moving
safety zone on the waters of the Tampa Bay in Tampa, Florida during the
Swim Around Lido Key. The race is scheduled to take place from 8 a.m.
to 2 p.m. on April 12, 2015. This proposed rule is necessary to protect
the safety of the participants, participant vessels, and the general
public on the navigable waters of the United States during the event.

C. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for the proposed rule is the Coast Guard's
authority to establish safety zones: 33 U.S.C. 1231; 33 CFR 1.05-1,
6.04-1, 160.5; Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.
    The purpose of the proposed rule is to provide for the safety of
life on navigable waters of the United States during the Swim Around
Lido Key.

D. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    This proposed rule is to establish a temporary moving safety zone
that will encompass certain waters of Tampa Bay in Tampa, Florida. The
proposed safety zone will be enforced from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on April
12, 2015. The safety zone will establish a moving protective area
around all swimmers involved in the race. Persons and vessels, except
those participating in the event, will be prohibited from entering,
transiting through, anchoring in, or remaining within the regulated
area unless authorized by the Captain of the Port St. Petersburg or a
designated representative.
    Persons and vessels may request authorization to enter, transit
through, anchor in, or remain within the enforcement areas by
contacting the Captain of the Port St. Petersburg by telephone at (727)
824-7506, or a designated representative via VHF radio on channel 16.
If authorization to enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within
the enforcement areas is granted by the Captain of the Port St.
Petersburg or a designated representative, all persons and vessels
receiving such authorization must comply with the instructions of the
Captain of the Port St. Petersburg or a designated representative.

E. Regulatory Analyses

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

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
as supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
    The economic impact of this proposed rule is not significant for
the following reasons: (1) The temporary moving safety zone would be
enforced for 6 hours; (2) although persons and vessels are prohibited
to enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the enforcement
areas without authorization from the Captain of the Port St. Petersburg
or a designated representative, they may operate in the surrounding
area during the enforcement period; (3) persons and vessels may still
enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the enforcement
areas during the enforcement period if authorized by the Captain of the
Port St. Petersburg or a designated representative; and (4) the Coast
Guard would provide advance notification of the safety zone to the
local maritime community by Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice
to Mariners and/or on-scene designated representatives.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered the impact of this proposed rule on small entities. The
Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    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.

3. 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. 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 the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section above. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this proposed rule or any
policy or action of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule will not call for a new collection of
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520.).

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
determined that this rule does not have implications for federalism.

6. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a

State, local, or tribal government, in the aggregate, or by the private
sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or more in any one
year. Though this proposed rule would not result in such expenditure,
we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

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

9. 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.

10. Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks

    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.

11. 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.

12. Energy Effects

    This proposed rule is not a ``significant energy action'' under
Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA)(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have
made a preliminary determination that this action is one of a category
of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. This rule is categorically excluded
from further review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the
Commandant Instruction. A preliminary environmental analysis checklist
supporting this 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 Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP17-490-000]

Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed Riverdale South to Market Project, and Request for Comments on
Environmental Issues; Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the environmental impacts of

the Riverdale South to Market Project involving construction and
operation of facilities by Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC
(Transco) in Bergen, Hudson, and Union Counties, New Jersey. The
Commission will use this EA in its decision-making process to determine
whether the project is in the public convenience and necessity.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the
Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested
agencies on the project. You can make a difference by providing us with
your specific comments or concerns about the project. Your comments
should focus on the potential environmental effects, reasonable
alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts.
Your input will help the Commission staff determine what issues they
need to evaluate in the EA. To ensure that your comments are timely and
properly recorded, please send your comments so that the Commission
receives them in Washington, DC on or before November 20, 2017.
    If you sent comments on this project to the Commission before the
opening of this docket on August 31, 2017, you will need to file those
comments in Docket No. CP17-490-000 to ensure they are considered as
part of this proceeding.
    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental
mailing list for this project. State and local government
representatives should notify their constituents of this proposed
project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.
    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, a pipeline company
representative may contact you about the acquisition of an easement to
construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities. The company
would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. However, if
the Commission approves the project, that approval conveys with it the
right of eminent domain. Therefore, if easement negotiations fail to
produce an agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation
proceedings where compensation would be determined in accordance with
state law.
    Transco provided landowners with a fact sheet prepared by the FERC
entitled ``An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I
Need To Know?'' This fact sheet addresses a number of typically asked
questions, including the use of eminent domain and how to participate
in the Commission's proceedings. It is also available for viewing on
the FERC Web site (www.ferc.gov).

Summary of the Proposed Project

    Transco proposes to construct, modify, upgrade, and operate various
facilities in connection with its proposed Riverdale South to Market
Project located in Bergen, Hudson, and Union Counties, New Jersey.
According to Transco, the Project would increase the firm delivery
transportation capacity of its existing pipeline system by 190,000
dekatherms per day (Dth/d) of natural gas per day from the Riverdale
interconnection to existing Compressor Station 210 in Mercer County and
the Central Manhattan Metering and Regulating Station (M&R) in Hudson
County. The Compressor Station 210 pooling point would receive 140,000
Dth/d, and the Central Manhattan Metering and Regulating Station would
receive 50,000 Dth/d.
    The Project would consist of the following facilities:
     Uprate of 10.35 miles of Transco's existing 24-inch-
diameter North New Jersey Extension pipeline in Bergen County;
     Upgrades to the existing Orange and Rockland M&R, Emerson
M&R, and Paramus M&R in Bergen County to accommodate additional
capacity;
     Construction of approximately 0.61 mile of new 42-inch-
diameter pipeline loop \1\ along Transco's existing Mainline A in
Bergen County;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A pipeline loop is a segment of pipe constructed parallel to
an existing pipeline to increase capacity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Modifications to the Central Manhattan M&R in Hudson
County;
     Removal of the J199 Valve in Bergen County; and
     Installation of appurtenant ancillary facilities.
    The general location of the project facilities is shown in appendix
1.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The appendices referenced in this notice will not appear in
the Federal Register. Copies of appendices were sent to all those
receiving this notice in the mail and are available at www.ferc.gov
using the link called eLibrary or from the Commission's Public
Reference Room, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, or call
(202) 502-8371. For instructions on connecting to eLibrary, refer to
the last page of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Land Requirements for Construction

    Construction of the proposed facilities would disturb about 58
acres of land for the aboveground facilities and the pipeline.
Following construction, Transco would maintain about 10 acres for
permanent operation of the project's facilities; the remaining acreage
would be restored and revert to former uses. The majority of the
project would be constructed within existing rights-of-way or within
existing fenced facilities.

The EA Process

    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the
Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could
result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires us
\3\ to discover and address concerns the public may have about
proposals. This process is referred to as scoping. The main goal of the
scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on the important
environmental issues. By this notice, the Commission requests public
comments on the scope of the issues to address in the EA. We will
consider all filed comments during the preparation of the EA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ We, us, and our refer to the environmental staff of the
Commission's Office of Energy Projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the EA we will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of
the construction and operation of the proposed project under these
general headings:
     Geology and soils;
     Land use;
     Water resources, fisheries, and wetlands;
     Cultural resources;

     Vegetation and wildlife;
     Air quality and noise;
     Endangered and threatened species;
     Public safety; and
     Cumulative impacts.
    We will also evaluate reasonable alternatives to the proposed
project or portions of the project, and make recommendations on how to
lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    The EA will present our independent analysis of the issues. The EA
will be available in the public record through eLibrary. Depending on
the comments received during the scoping process, we may also publish
and distribute the EA to the public for an allotted comment period. We
will consider all comments on the EA before making our recommendations
to the Commission. To ensure we have the opportunity to consider and
address your comments, please carefully follow the instructions in the
Public Participation section on page 2.
    With this notice, we are asking agencies with jurisdiction by law
and/or special expertise with respect to the environmental issues of
this project to formally cooperate with us in the preparation of the
EA.\4\ Agencies that would like to request cooperating agency status
should follow the instructions for filing comments provided under the
Public Participation section of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Council on Environmental Quality regulations addressing
cooperating agency responsibilities are at Title 40, Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 1501.6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consultations Under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act

    In accordance with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's
implementing regulations for section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act, we are using this notice to initiate consultation
with the applicable State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), and to
solicit their views and those of other government agencies, interested
Indian tribes, and the public on the project's potential effects on
historic properties.\5\ We will define the project-specific Area of
Potential Effects (APE) in consultation with the SHPO as the project
develops. On natural gas facility projects, the APE at a minimum
encompasses all areas subject to ground disturbance (examples include
construction right-of-way, contractor/pipe storage yards, compressor
stations, and access roads). Our EA for this project will document our
findings on the impacts on historic properties and summarize the status
of consultations under section 106.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's regulations

60-day comment period soliciting public comments on the following
information collection was published on July 17, 2017.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before December 26, 2017.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, within 30 days, to the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget,
725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20503, Attention NHTSA Desk
Officer.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Visual Scanning Training for Older Drivers.
    Type of Request: New information collection requirement.
    Abstract: Older adults comprise an increasing proportion of the
driving population and exposure-based analyses have consistently shown
increased rates of crash involvement for drivers as they age into their
70's, 80's and beyond. Studies have identified particular situations
where older drivers are most at risk, including navigating
intersections and merging. These tasks share attributes of elevated
demand on visual search and visual attention skills.
    The visual scanning training protocol that is the focus of this
study was designed to be delivered in one-on-one sessions by a
generalist occupational therapist (OT) in a clinical setting, targeting
visual field expansion, simultaneous processing of multiple visual
stimuli, and ocular skill (visual search routine) exercises.
    A preliminary analysis of the training's effectiveness was provided
through performance of the NHTSA study, ``Validation of Rehabilitation
Training Programs for Older Drivers'' (See DOT HS 811 749, April 2013).
While these results were encouraging, the sample size was small and the
research team, program developer and NHTSA all agreed that additional
evidence was needed before widespread promotion of this intervention
might be warranted. That is the focus of the proposed research.
    Study staff will invite drivers 70 and older from a continuing care
retirement community to a public meeting to describe the opportunity
including inclusion and exclusion criteria. The project plans to
recruit a total of 90 participants for the study. Participants will be
randomly assigned to either a visual scanning training program (a
series of four one-hour one-on-one training sessions) or to a control
(placebo) activity for the same number of hours as the visual training
protocol. All participants will undergo three, one-hour on-road
evaluations by a Certified Driver Rehabilitation Specialist (CDRS) over
the course of the study: One before training, one immediately after
training, and a final evaluation three months after training. The CDRS
will provide instructions about what route to follow and will score how
safely the participant drives using standard procedures and criteria
that are broadly accepted in the profession. The CDRS scores will be
used to determine the effectiveness of the training protocol relative
to the control (placebo) group.
    Following training, the 45 study participants enrolled in the
visual scanning training group will complete a brief questionnaire to
determine whether they believe the training will help them to be a
safer driver, whether they would recommend the training to friends or
relatives, and what they would pay for such training. The training
feedback, as well as the CDRS road test scores, will be used to
evaluate the effectiveness of the training. Following the second and
third evaluations, each study participant will

receive a $100 gift card as compensation for his/her participation.
    Findings will provide information about whether this training
program improves the driving performance of drivers 70 and older, and
whether they find the training acceptable. NHTSA will use the
information to inform recommendations to the public, and particularly
to the OT community, regarding this training program.
    Affected Public: Participants will include 90 licensed drivers 70
and older.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: The total burden for data collection
would be 690 hours.
    Comments are invited on the following:
    (i) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have practical utility;
    (ii) The accuracy of the Department's estimate of the burden of the
proposed information collection;
    (iii) Ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
    (iv) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
    A comment to OMB is most effective if OMB receives it within 30
days of publication of this notice.

    Authority: 44 U.S.C. Section 3506(c)(2)(A).

Airworthiness Directives; Saab AB, Support and Services (Formerly
Known as Saab AB, Saab Aeronautics) Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Saab AB, Support and Services Model 340A (SAAB/SF340A) and SAAB 340B
airplanes; and Model SAAB 2000 airplanes. This AD was prompted by
reports that certain nose landing gear (NLG) door attachment bolts are
susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement. This AD requires replacing
certain NLG door attachment bolts with serviceable bolts, as specified
in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is
incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the
unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective January 21, 2021.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of January 21,
2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2020-0149, dated July 7, 2020 (EASA
AD 2020-0149) (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition
for all Saab AB, Support and Services Model 340A (SAAB/SF340A) and SAAB
340B airplanes; and Model SAAB 2000 airplanes.
    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Saab AB, Support
and Services Model 340A (SAAB/SF340A) and SAAB 340B airplanes; and
Model SAAB 2000 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register
on September 15, 2020 (85 FR 57168). The NPRM was prompted by reports
that certain NLG door attachment bolts are susceptible to hydrogen
embrittlement. The NPRM proposed to require replacing certain NLG door
attachment bolts with serviceable bolts, as specified in an EASA AD.
    The FAA is issuing this AD to address NLG door attachment bolts
that were incorrectly manufactured and are susceptible to hydrogen
embrittlement, decreasing the mechanical characteristics. This
condition could lead to failure of the affected parts, which would
impair the link between the NLG and NLG door and could prevent the
extension or retraction of the NLG, and cause consequent damage to the
airplane and possible loss of control during landing. See the MCAI for
additional background information.

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or
on the determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety
and the public interest require adopting this final rule as proposed,
except for minor editorial changes. The FAA has determined that these
minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2020-0149 describes procedures for identifying and
replacing certain NLG door attachment bolts with serviceable bolts.
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.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 103 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The FAA has received no definitive data that would enable the FAA to provide parts cost estimates for the bolt
  replacement specified in this AD.

    According to the manufacturer, some or all of the costs of this AD
may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected individuals. The FAA does not control warranty coverage for
affected individuals. As a result, the FAA has included all known costs
in the cost estimate.

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

    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.

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. 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 Bombardier, Inc. Model DHC-8-102, -103, -106, -201, -202, -301,
-311, and -315 series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a
report of a pilot commanding an in-flight engine shut down in response
to a low oil pressure warning indication. Further investigation
revealed the mounting studs in the engine mounted alternating current
(AC) generator mounting plate were pulled out of position and the
threaded interface in the plate was corroded. This proposed AD would
require repetitive inspections for discrepancies on certain AC
generator mounting adapters, and replacing discrepant adapters with
serviceable ones. This proposed AD would also require revising the
maintenance program to incorporate a repetitive task specified in
certain temporary revisions. We are proposing this AD to detect and
correct corrosion in the AC generator mounting plate, which could
result in a gap between the AC generator and the generator mounting
plate, and cause loss of engine oil and consequent engine failure.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by October 15, 2013

Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive, CF-
2012-29, dated November 22, 2012 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to
correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI
states:

    An incident has been reported on the DHC-8 aeroplane of a pilot
commanded in-flight engine shut down in response to a[n] engine low
oil pressure warning indication.
    Further investigation revealed the mounting studs in the engine
mounted AC generator mounting plate were pulled out of position and
the threaded interface in the plate corroded. This resulted in a gap
between the AC generator and the generator mounting plate, leading
to the loss of engine oil and the ensuing illumination of the
associated engine low oil pressure warning indication.
    To ensure the integrity of the affected units, Part I of this
[TCCA] AD mandates an [general visual and mechanical] inspection of
the affected AC generator mounting adapters part numbers (P/N)
31708-500 or 31708-501, and, as applicable, replacement with new or
serviceable mounting plates.
    Part II of this [TCCA] AD mandates the incorporation of a repeat
Maintenance Review Board (MRB) inspection applicable to the
replacement of the AC generator mounting adapters P/Ns 31708-510 or
31708-511 only.

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

Relevant Service Information

    Bombardier has issued the following service information:
     Bombardier Service Bulletin 8-24-88, dated December 13,
2011.
     de Havilland Dash 8 Series 100 Temporary Revision MRB-153,
dated July 10, 2012, Part 1 Section 2-Systems, of the de Havilland Dash
8 Series 100 Maintenance Program Manual PSM 1-8-7 MRB Report.
     de Havilland Dash 8 Series 200 Temporary Revision MRB 2-
31, dated July 10, 2012, Part 1 Section 2-Systems of the de Havilland
Dash 8 Series 200 Maintenance Program Manual PSM 1-82-7 MRB Report.
     de Havilland Dash 8 Series 300 Temporary Revision MRB 3-
162, dated July 10, 2012, Part 1 Section 2-Systems of the de Havilland
Dash 8 Series 300 Maintenance Program Manual PSM 1-83-7 MRB Report.
    The actions described in this service information 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.
    This AD requires revisions to certain operator maintenance
documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections). Compliance with
these inspections is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes that
have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in the areas
addressed by these actions, the operator may not be able to accomplish
the inspections described in the revisions. In this situation, to
comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request approval for an
alternative method of compliance according to paragraph (j)(1) of this
AD. The request should include a description of changes to the required
inspections that will ensure the continued operational safety of the
airplane.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 88 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that
it would take about 5 work-hours per product to comply with the basic
requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $85 per
work-hour. Required parts would cost about $4,000 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 the proposed AD on U.S. operators to
be $389,400, or $4,425 per product.
    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in 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.
    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);
    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 proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.
