Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding airworthiness directive (AD) for 2021-
05-05 which applied to all Airbus Helicopters Model SA-365N1, AS-365N2,
AS 365 N3, SA-366G1, EC 155B, and EC155B1 helicopters. AD 2021-05-05
required modifying the helicopter by replacing the tail rotor gearbox
(TGB) control shaft guide bushes; repetitive inspections (checks) of
the oil level of the TGB and, if necessary, filling the oil to the
maximum level; repetitive inspections of the TGB magnetic plug and
corrective actions if necessary; repetitive replacements of a certain
control rod double bearing (bearing); and modifying the helicopter by
replacing the TGB. This AD was prompted by a report where during a
landing phase, a helicopter lost tail rotor pitch control, which was
caused by significant damage to the TGB bearing. This AD retains some
of the requirements of AD 2021-05-05, and reduces the intervals of the
magnetic plug inspection, revises the corrective actions if particles
are detected, and revises the compliance time for replacement of the
affected part, 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 May 31, 2022.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of May 31,
2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2021-05-05, Amendment 39-21448 (86 FR
13972, March 12, 2021) (AD 2021-05-05). AD 2021-05-05 applied to all
Airbus Helicopters Model SA-365N1, AS-365N2, AS 365 N3, SA-366G1, EC
155B, and EC155B1 helicopters. AD 2021-05-05 required repetitive checks
of the oil level of the TGB and if necessary, filling the oil to the
maximum level. AD 2021-05-05 also required modifying the helicopter by
replacing the TGB control shaft guide bushes; repetitive inspections of
the TGB magnetic plug and corrective actions if necessary; repetitive
replacements of the bearing; and modifying the helicopter by replacing
the TGB. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on February 18,
2022 (87 FR 9277). The NPRM was prompted by a report where during a
landing phase, a helicopter lost tail rotor pitch control, which was
caused by significant damage to the TGB bearing. The NPRM was also
prompted by the determination that reduced inspection intervals,
updated corrective actions, and a revised compliance time for
replacement of affected parts are necessary to address the unsafe
condition. Furthermore, the FAA determined that the magnetic plug
inspection interval must be reduced based on additional testing of the
affected part by the manufacturer, and the compliance time for
replacement of the affected part must be reduced.
    The NPRM proposed to retain certain actions in AD 2021-05-05;
reduce the intervals of the magnetic plug inspection; revise the
corrective actions if particles are detected; and revise the compliance
time for replacement of the affected part. The NPRM also proposed to
allow the oil level inspections (checks) to be performed by the owner/
operator (pilot) holding at least a private pilot certificate and must
be entered into the aircraft records showing compliance with the
proposed AD in accordance with 14 CFR 43.9 (a)(1) through (4) and 14
CFR 91.417(a)(2)(v). The record must be maintained as required by 14
CFR 91.417 or 135.439.
    The NPRM was prompted by EASA AD 2021-0171, dated July 19, 2021
(EASA AD 2021-0171), issued by EASA, which is the Technical Agent for
the Member States of the European Union, to correct an unsafe condition
for Airbus Helicopters (AH), formerly Eurocopter (EC), Eurocopter
France, Aerospatiale, Sud Aviation, Model SA 365 N1, AS 365 N2, AS 365
N3, EC 155 B, and EC 155 B1 helicopters, all serial numbers.
    The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent damage to the bearing, which
if not addressed, could result in loss of yaw control of the
helicopter. See EASA AD 2021-0171 for additional background
information.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

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

Conclusion

    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 reviewed the relevant
data and determined that air safety requires adopting this AD as
proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these helicopters. This AD is adopted as proposed in the
NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2021-0171 specifies procedures for modifying the helicopter
by replacing TGB control shaft guide bushes, and specifies procedures
for repetitive inspections of the oil level of the TGB, and if
necessary, filling the oil to the maximum level. EASA AD 2021-0171 also
describes procedures for repetitive inspections of the TGB magnetic
plug for the presence of particles and updated corrective actions if
necessary (corrective actions include removing the TGB; complying with
certain work cards to address any particles found, and other conditions
such as abrasions, scales, flakes, and splinters; placing the
helicopter under close monitoring; and if required replacing any
affected bearing); initial and repetitive replacements of the bearing
with an improved part; and modifying the helicopter by replacing the
TGB bearing or replacing the TGB. EASA AD 2021-0171 specifies replacing
the TGB bearing is a terminating action for the repetitive inspections
of the magnetic plug; and replacing the TGB is a terminating action for
the repetitive inspections of the magnetic plug, and the repetitive
replacements of the bearing. EASA AD 2021-0171 also prohibits
installing a certain bearing or a certain TGB 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 reviewed Airbus Helicopters Alert Service Bulletin No.
AS365-01.00.67 (ASB AS365-01.00.67 Rev 6) and Airbus Helicopters Alert
Service Bulletin No. EC155-04A014 (ASB EC155-04A014 Rev 6), both
Revision 6, and both dated June 14, 2021. ASB AS365-01.00.67 Rev 6 and
ASB EC155-04A014 Rev 6 both specify procedures for replacement of the
TGB bearing before mod 07 65B63 installation, inspection of the TGB
magnetic plug, removing the control shaft/rod assembly to inspect the
bearing, and maintaining the TGB operating oil at the maximum level,
and specify the monitoring criteria of the bearing.
    The FAA also reviewed Eurocopter Service Bulletin AS365 No.
65.00.17, and Eurocopter Service Bulletin EC155 No. 65-006, both
Revision 1 and both dated February 23, 2011. Both service bulletins
specify instructions for introducing Eurocopter (EC) mod 07 65B58.

Differences Between This AD and EASA AD 2021-0171

    EASA AD 2021-0171 revises the applicability by removing the
reference to Model SA 366 G1 helicopters because the EASA type
certificate has been surrendered. However, Model SA-366G1 helicopters
are still on the U.S. type certificate data sheet, even though there
are no current U.S. operators. Therefore, this AD includes Model SA-
366G1 helicopters.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 50 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 AD:

                                  Estimated Costs for Retained Required Actions

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

    This AD does not add new required actions; however, the compliance
times for certain actions have been reduced and a certain on-condition
action has been revised.

                 Estimated Costs of On-Condition Actions
------------------------------------------------------------------------
           Labor cost                 Parts cost       Cost per product
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up to 4 work-hours $85 per hour   Up to $1,395......  Up to $1,735.
 = $340.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the manufacturer, some 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 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.

Margin Framework and Default Fund Methodology in order to incorporate
terms and to make conforming and clarifying changes to allow CDS
Options to be cleared by LCH SA. The launch of clearing CDS Options
will be contingent on LCH SA's receipt of all necessary regulatory
approvals, including the approval by the Commission of the proposed
rule changes described under SR-LCH-SA-2017-006 and 007.

II. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

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

A. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The purpose of the proposed rule change is to establish the
applicable fee grid in connection with the proposed extension of the
CDSClear service to the clearing of CDS Options.
    The proposed rule change introduces a fixed onboarding fee payable
by every General and Select member that will join the new clearing
service. The onboarding fee will be waived for any member whose
onboarding for such clearing service is duly confirmed by LCH SA on or
before 31st March 2018.
    In addition to the fixed onboarding fee, the clearing fees are due
by each General Member, Select Member or Client in accordance with the
amount, currency and volume specified in the fee grid attached in
Exhibit 5. Similar to the current Index & Single Names fee grid for
General Membership under the Introductory tariff, a floor and a cap on
clearing fees have been implemented for General Members opting for the
CDS Options clearing service. Select Members opting for the CDS Options
clearing service are only subject to capped fees as Select Membership
is designed primarily for price takers with a smaller portfolio and a
fixed cost (to which a floor amounts to) would deter them from clearing
CDS Options.
    All members and clients will benefit from a clearing fee holiday
until 31st December 2017.
2. Statutory Basis
    LCH SA believes that the proposed rule change in connection with
the clearing of CDS Options is consistent with the requirements of
Section 17A of the Act and the regulations thereunder, including the
standards under Rule 17Ad-22.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 17A(b)(3)(D) of the Act requires that the rules of a
clearing agency provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable
dues, fees, and other charges.\6\ The proposed fee grid for the new
non-mandatory Credit Index Options clearing service has been discussed
with CDSClear members and designed with the goal of enabling members to
register to this service as well as to incentivize clearing of such
non-mandated for clearing products while taking into consideration
current market trading conditions for options.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(D).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As noted above, the proposed fee grid will apply equally to all
General members, Select Members and clients that will voluntary
participate in this new CDS Clearing Service and LCH SA believes that
it is reasonable and appropriate.
    As Select Members have fewer obligations than General Members,
variable clearing fees for CDS Options are higher for Select Members
than for General Members (similarly to the current Index & Single Names
variable fee grid). Clients have no obligation towards the CCP, and
hence variable clearing fees for CDS Options are set higher for them
than for Members (similarly to the current Index & Single Names
variable fee grid). As for Select Members, a fixed cost (floor) being
applied to clients could deter them from choosing to clear CDS Options.
    Finally, the purpose of the cap is to incentivize participants to
provide liquidity into the CDS Options clearing service. Unlike General
Members, as clients are not meant to provide such liquidity, LCH SA
does not offer capped clearing fees for clients.
    LCH SA believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with
the requirements of Section 17A of the Act \7\ and regulations
thereunder applicable to it, because it provides for the equitable
allocation of reasonable fees, dues, and other charges among clearing
members and market participants by ensuring that General and Select
Members and clients pay reasonable fees and dues for the services that
LCH SA provides.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Clearing Agency's Statement on Burden on Competition

    Section 17A(b)(3)(I) of the Act requires that the rules of a
clearing agency not impose any burden on competition not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.\8\ LCH SA does
not believe that the proposed rule change would impose any burden on
competition that are not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(I).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Credit Index Options contracts will be available to all LCH SA
CDSClear participants for clearing. The clearing of CDS Options
contracts by LCH SA CDSClear does not preclude the offering of these
financial instruments for clearing by other market participants.
    The proposed rule change does not adversely affect the ability of
such Clearing Members or other market participants generally to engage
in cleared transactions or to access clearing services. Therefore, LCH
SA does not believe that the proposed rule change would impose a burden
on competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act.

C. Clearing Agency's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change
Received From Members, Participants or Others

    Written comments relating to the proposed rule change have not been
solicited or received. LCH SA will notify the Commission of any written
comments received by LCH SA.

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

    Subject to any regulatory review or approval process duly
completed, the foregoing proposed rule change has become effective upon
filing pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) \9\ of the Act and Rule 19b-
4(f)(2) \10\ thereunder because it establishes a fee or other charge
imposed by LCH SA on its Clearing Members. At any time within 60 days
of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may
temporarily suspend such proposed rule change if it appears to the
Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public
interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise

in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 determination that the network interface installed
between the Information Management System (IMS) 6000 unit and the Cabin
Entertainment System (CES) network could affect the Aircraft Control
Domain (ACD), and result in the transmission of misleading navigational
information to the flightcrew. This AD requires inspecting the network
interface installation between the IMS and the CES, and disconnecting
the installation, if necessary. We are issuing this AD to prevent the
transmission of misleading navigational information, which could
adversely affect the ability of the flightcrew to maintain the safe
flight and landing of the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective June 23, 2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of June 23,
2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Bombardier, Inc.
Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11 airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on January 13, 2016 (81 FR 1568) (``the NPRM''). The
NPRM was prompted by a determination that the network interface
installed between the IMS 6000 unit and the CES network could affect
the ACD, and result in the transmission of misleading navigational
information to the flightcrew. The NPRM proposed to require inspecting
the network interface installation between the IMS and the CES, and
disconnecting the installation, if necessary. We are issuing this AD to
prevent the transmission of misleading navigational information, which
could adversely affect the ability of the flightcrew to maintain the
safe flight and landing of the airplane.
    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2015-19, dated July 20, 2015 (referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an
unsafe condition

for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11
airplanes. The MCAI states:

    It was discovered that on certain aeroplanes, the network
interface installed between the Information Management System (IMS)
6000 unit and the Cabin Entertainment System (CES) network may
affect the Aircraft Control Domain (ACD). This could potentially
compromise the operational integrity of the avionics system and
result in misleading navigational information to the flight crew.
Misleading navigational information could have adverse effects on
the safe operation of the aeroplane.
    This [Canadian] AD mandates the [general visual] inspection [to
determine if pins are present at positions 25, 27, 48, and 50] and
disconnection, as required, of the network interface installation
between the IMS and the CES.

You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2015-
8431.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting this 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 for correcting 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

    Bombardier has issued the following service information, which
describes procedures for inspecting the network interface installation
between the IMS and the CES, and disconnecting the installation, if
necessary.
     Service Bulletin 700-46-5005, Revision 02, dated June 18,
2015 (for Model BD-700-1A11 airplanes).
     Service Bulletin 700-46-6005, Revision 02, dated June 18,
2015 (for Model BD-700-1A10 airplanes).
    This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 77 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We also estimate that it takes about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of
this AD on U.S. operators to be $6,545, or $85 per product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on action takes
about 3 work-hours, for a cost of $255 per product. We have no way of
determining the number of aircraft that might need this action.
    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this AD may be
covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected
individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our 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.
    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.

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; BAE Systems (Operations) Limited

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2012-16-
08, for certain BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model BAe 146 and Avro
146-RJ series airplanes. AD 2012-16-08 currently requires repetitive
detailed inspections for bulging, surface anomalies, and cracking of
the fuselage skin adjacent to the discharge valves, and repair and
application of additional sealant in the affected area if necessary.
Since we issued AD 2012-16-08, it was found that airplanes on which a
certain modification was incorporated during production were excluded
from the applicability, but are also affected by the condition that
precipitated AD 2012-16-08. This proposed AD would retain the
requirements of AD 2012-16-08, expand the applicability, and require an
additional one-time inspection for the presence of water traps/air
driers to determine which airplanes must be inspected. We are proposing
this AD to detect and correct bulging, surface anomalies, and cracking
that could propagate towards the forward discharge valve outlet and
result in the failure of the fuselage skin, leading to a possible
sudden loss of cabin pressure and injury to occupants.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by December 5,
2016.

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

Discussion

    On July 31, 2012, we issued AD 2012-16-08, Amendment 39-17155 (77
FR 48420, August 14, 2012) (``AD 2012-16-08''). AD 2012-16-08 requires
repetitive detailed inspections for bulging, surface anomalies, and
cracking of the fuselage skin adjacent to the discharge valves, and
repair and application of additional sealant in the affected area if
necessary.
    Since we issued AD 2012-16-08, it was found that airplanes that
have incorporated auto-pressurization modification No. HCM50259A during
production, which were excluded from the applicability, are also
affected by this condition. In addition, and in order to simplify
instructions and determine affected airplanes, BAE Systems (Operations)
Limited issued BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Inspection Service
Bulletin ISB.21-162, Revision 4, dated January 28, 2015, introducing a
one-time inspection to determine if water trap/air driers are
installed.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2015-0180, dated August 28, 2015 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for all BAE Systems
(Operations) Limited Model BAe 146 series airplanes and Model Avro 146-
RJ series airplanes. The MCAI states:

    An operator reported finding cracking and surface anomalies
(bulges and/or dents) of the fuselage skin at the water trap/air
drier unit of the forward discharge valve, located between fuselage
frame (FR) 22 and FR23 and between stringers 22 and 23. Further
investigation established that these surface anomalies were due to
corrosion beneath the water trap/air drier unit that has resulted in
cracking of the fuselage skin
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to
failure of the fuselage skin, possibly resulting in loss of cabin
pressure and injury to occupants.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, EASA issued AD 2011-
0099 [which corresponds to FAA AD 2012-16-08] to require repetitive
detailed visual inspections (DVI) of the fuselage skin adjacent to
the front and rear discharge valves to check for bulging, surface
anomalies and cracking, and, depending on findings, accomplishment
of applicable corrective action(s), and the application of
additional sealant in the affected area.
    Since that [EASA] AD was issued, it was found that aeroplanes
that have incorporated auto-pressurisation modification No.
HCM50259A during production, which were excluded from the
Applicability, were also affected by this condition.
    In addition, and in order to simplify instructions for
applicability, BAE Systems (Operations) Limited issued Revision 4 of
Inspection Service Bulletin (ISB) No. 21-162, introducing a one-time
inspection to identify if water trap/air driers are installed.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirements of EASA AD 2011-0099, which is superseded, expands the
Applicability and requires the additional one-time inspection as
specified in the latest ISB revision.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2016-
9186.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    BAE Systems (Operations) Limited has issued BAE Systems
(Operations) Limited Service Bulletin ISB.21-162, Revision 4, dated
January 28, 2015. The service information describes procedures for a
visual inspection of the internal fuselage at the location of the water
trap/air driers to determine if water trap/air driers are installed; an
external DVI for bulging, surface anomalies, and cracking of the
fuselage skin adjacent to the forward and rear discharge valve outlets;
repair; and sealant application.
    BAE Systems (Operations) Limited has also issued the following
service information, which describes procedures for structural repairs.
     Subject 53-00-00, ``Fuselage, General Description,'' of
Chapter 53, ``Fuselage,'' of the BAE SYSTEMS BAe 146 Series/AVRO 146-RJ
Series Structural Repair Manual for Series 100-200, Revision 68, dated
October 15, 2014.
     Subject 53-00-00, ``Fuselage, General Description,'' of
Chapter 53, ``Fuselage,'' of the BAe SYSTEMS BAE 146 Series/AVRO 146-RJ
Series Structural Repair Manual for Series 300, Revision 46, dated
October 15, 2014.
    This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination 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 these same type designs.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 4 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    The actions required by AD 2012-16-08 and retained in this proposed
AD take about 8 work-hours per product, at an average labor rate of $85
per work-hour. Required parts cost about $0 per product. Based on these
figures, the estimated cost of the actions that are required by AD
2012-16-08 is $680 per product.
    We also estimate that it would take about 8 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 this proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $2,720, or $680
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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13   [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2012-16-08, Amendment 39-17155 (77 FR 48420, August 14, 2012), and
adding the following new AD:

BAE Systems (Operations) Limited: Docket No. FAA-2016-9186;
Directorate Identifier 2015-NM-160-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by December 5, 2016.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD replaces AD 2012-16-08, Amendment 39-17155 (77 FR 48420,
August 14, 2012) (``AD 2012-16-08'').

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to the airplanes identified in paragraphs (c)(1)
and (c)(2) of this AD, certificated in any category, all serial
numbers.
    (1) BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model BAe 146-100A, -200A,
and -300A airplanes.
    (2) BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model Avro 146-RJ70A, 146-
RJ85A, and 146-RJ100A airplanes.

(d) Subject

Conditioning.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by reports of cracking and surface
anomalies of the fuselage skin at the water trap/air drier unit of
the forward discharge valve due to corrosion, and the determination
that airplanes on which auto-pressurization modification No.
HCM50259A was incorporated during production were excluded from the
applicability of AD 2012-16-08, but are also affected by this
condition. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct bulging,
surface anomalies, and cracking that could propagate towards the
forward discharge valve outlet and result in the failure of the
fuselage skin, leading to a possible sudden loss of cabin pressure
and injury to occupants.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Retained Detailed Inspection of External Fuselage Skin, With
Specific Delegation Approval Language

[Docket No. AD22-9-000]

New England Winter Gas-Electric Forum; Supplemental Notice of New
England Winter Gas-Electric Forum

    As first announced in the Notice of Forum issued in the above-
referenced proceeding on May 19, 2022, the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (Commission) will convene a Commissioner-led forum on
Thursday, September 8, 2022, from approximately 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Eastern Time, to discuss the electricity and natural gas challenges
facing the New England Region. The forum will be open to the public and
held in the Emerald I & II Ballroom at the DoubleTree by Hilton
Burlington Vermont, 870 Williston Rd., South Burlington, VT 05403.
    The updated agenda for this forum is attached, which includes the
final forum panelists. All changes to this agenda since the
Commission's July 21, 2022 Supplemental Notice of New England Winter
Gas-Electric Forum appear in italics.
    The purpose of the forum is to bring together stakeholders in New
England to discuss the challenges faced historically during New England
winters and discuss the stakeholders' differing expectations of
challenges for future winters. The objectives of the forum are to
achieve greater consensus or agreement among stakeholders in defining
the electric and natural gas system challenges in New England and
identify what, if any, steps are needed to better understand those
challenges before identifying solutions.
    While the forum is not for the purpose of discussing any specific
matters before the Commission, some forum discussions may involve
issues raised in proceedings that are currently pending before the
Commission. These proceedings include, but are not limited to--changes
or additions to the list below appear in italics:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it would amend Class D and Class E airspace at Eagle County Regional
Airport, Eagle, Colorado to ensure safety and management of Instrument
Flight Rules (IFR) operations within the National Airspace System.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11D, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 8, 2019, and effective
September 15, 2019. FAA Order 7400.11D is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11D lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by amending Class D airspace at Eagle
County Regional Airport extending upward from the surface to and
including 9,100 feet MSL within a 4.4-mile radius and extending from
the 4.4- mile radius to a 6.5-mile radius along a 199[deg] bearing
clockwise to a 277[deg] bearing and extending from the 4.4-mile radius
to a 6.5-mile radius along a 45[deg] bearing clockwise to a 103[deg]
bearing from the airport. This Class D airspace area is effective
during the specific dates and times established in advance by a Notice
to Airmen. The effective date and time will thereafter be continuously
published in the Chart Supplement. And amending Class E2 airspace
extending upward from the within a 4.4-mile radius and extending from
the 4.4-mile radius to a 6.5-mile radius along a 199[deg] bearing
clockwise to a 277[deg] bearing and extending from the 4.4-mile radius
to a 6.5-mile radius along a 45[deg] bearing clockwise to a 103[deg]
bearing from the airport. This Class E airspace area is effective
during the specific dates and times established in advance by a Notice
to Airmen. The effective date and time will thereafter be continuously
published in the Chart Supplement. Additionally, this action proposes
to amend Class E airspace by adding Class E4 airspace extending upward
from the surface within 1.0 mile each side of the 079[deg] bearing
extending from the 6.5-mile radius to the 8.7-mile radius east of the
Eagle County Regional Airport. Also, this action proposes to amend
Class E5 airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface
within an 8.7-mile radius of the airport and extending within 1.3 miles
either side of a 079[deg] bearing from the 8.7-mile radius to 11.6
miles east of the Eagle County Regional Airport. Lastly, this action
will update the geographic coordinates at Eagle County Regional

Airport to (lat. 39[deg]38'34'' N, long. 106[deg]54'57'' W).
    Class D airspace designations are published in paragraph 5000 of
FAA Order 7400.11D. Class E2, E4 and E5 airspace designations are
published in paragraphs 6002, 6004 and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order
7400.11D, dated August 8, 2019, and effective September 15, 2019, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and Class E
airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (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); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
