<[Insert petition number]>

<	EPA has received a pesticide petition ([insert petition number]) from
[BASF Corporation], [PO Box 13528, Research Triangle Park, North
Carolina, 27709] proposing, pursuant to section 408(d) of the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d), to amend 40 CFR
part 180 to increase the tolerance in fruit, stone, group, and establish

<A. Residue Chemistry>

>

<	2. Analytical method. [In plants the method of analysis is aqueous
organic solvent extraction, column clean up and quantitation by
LC/MS/MS.  In animals the method of analysis involves base hydrolysis,
organic extraction, column clean up and quantitation by LC/MS/MS or
derivatization (methylation) followed by quantitation by GC/MS.]>

>

<B. Toxicological Profile>

<	1. Acute toxicity.  [Pyraclostrobin and its formulated products have
favorable acute toxicity. The acute toxicity studies place technical
pyraclostrobin in toxicity category IV for acute oral and acute
inhalation and category III for acute dermal.  Pyraclostrobin is
category III for both eye and skin irritation, and it is not a dermal
sensitizer.  Two formulated end use products are proposed, an
Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC) and an Extruded Granule (EG).  The EC has
an acute oral toxicity category of II, acute dermal of III, acute
inhalation of IV, eye and skin irritation categories of III, and is not
a dermal sensitizer.  The EG has acute oral and dermal toxicity
categories of III, acute inhalation of IV, eye irritation of III, skin
irritation of IV and is not a dermal sensitizer.]>

<	2. Genotoxicty. [Pyraclostrobin was negative for inducing mutations in
both an in vitro Ames test and an in vitro CHO/HGPRT Locus Mammalian
Cell Mutation Assay.  Pyraclostrobin also demonstrated no chromosomal
effects in an in vitro V79 Cells CHO Cytogenetic Assay and an in vivo
Mouse Micronucleus test.  An additional in vitro study investigating DNA
damage and repair also showed no effects. Pyraclostrobin has been tested
in a total of 5 genetic toxicology assays consisting of in vitro and in
vivo studies.  It can be stated that pyraclostrobin did not show any
mutagenic, clastogenic or other genotoxic activity when tested under the
conditions of the studies mentioned above.  Therefore, pyraclostrobin
does not pose a genotoxic hazard to humans.]>

<	3. Reproductive and developmental toxicity. [The reproductive and
developmental toxicity of pyraclostrobin was investigated in a
2-generation rat reproduction study as well as in rat and rabbit
teratology studies.  There were no adverse effects on reproduction,
systemic toxicity to adults or developmental toxicity in the
two-generation study so the NOAEL is the highest dose tested of 300 ppm
(approximately 32.6 mg/kg bw/day).>

No teratogenic effects were noted in either the rat or rabbit
developmental studies.  In the rat study, maternal toxicity observed at
the mid and high dose consisted of decreased food consumption and body
weight gain.  Developmental changes noted at the high dose were
increased incidences of dilated renal pelvis and cervical ribs with no
cartilage.  The maternal NOAEL was 10 mg/kg bw and the developmental
NOAEL was 25 mg/kg bw.

In the rabbit teratology study, maternal toxicity observed at the mid
and high doses consisted of decreased food consumption and body weight
gain (severe at the high dose).  An increased postimplantation loss was
also observed at the mid and high doses due to an increase in early
resorptions.  In rabbits, these types of effects are often observed with
significant stress on the mothers (as seen by the body weight gain
decrease in this study) and not indicative of frank developmental
toxicity.  The NOAEL for both maternal and developmental toxicity was 5
mg/kg bw.]

<	4. Subchronic toxicity. [The subchronic toxicity of pyraclostrobin was
investigated in 90-day feeding studies with rats, mice and dogs, and in
a 28-day dermal administration study in rats.  A 90-day neurotoxicity
study in rats was also performed.  Generally, mild toxicity was
observed.  At high dose levels in feeding studies, general findings in
all three species were decreased food consumption and body weight gain
and a thickening of the duodenum.  Anemia occurred at high dose levels
in both rats and mice with accompanying extramedullary hematopoiesis of
the spleen in rats.  In rats only, a finding of liver cell hypertrophy
was indicative of a physiological response to the handling of the
chemical.   The lowest NOAEL in the 90-day feeding studies was from the
dog study and determined to be 5.8 mg/kg bw/day.

In the 28-day repeat dose dermal study, no systemic effects were noted
up to the highest dose tested of 250 mg/kg bw/day.

In a 90-day rat neurotoxicity study, a direct neurotoxic effect was not
observed.]>

<	5. Chronic toxicity. [Pyraclostrobin was administered to groups of 5
male and 5 female purebred Beagle dogs in the diet at concentrations of
0, 100, 200 and 400 ppm over a period of 12 months.   Signs of toxicity
were observed at the high dose.  Diarrhea was observed throughout the
study period for both sexes. High dose males and females initially lost
weight and body weight gain was decreased for the entire study period
for females.  Hematological changes observed were an increase in white
blood cells in males, and an increase in platelets in both sexes at the
high dose.  Clinical chemistry demonstrated a decrease in serum total
protein, albumin, globulins and cholesterol in high dose animals of both
sexes possibly due to the diarrhea and reduced nutritional status of the
animals.  The NOAEL was 200 ppm (ca. 5.5 mg/kg bw/day males; 5.4 mg/kg
bw/day females).

In an oncogenicity study, pyraclostrobin was administered to groups of
50 male and 50 female Wistar rats at dietary concentrations of 0; 25;
75, and 200 ppm for 24 months.  In a companion chronic toxicity study,
20 rats/sex were used at the same dose levels as in the oncogenicity
study.  A body weight gain depression of 10-11% in males and 14-22% in
females with an accompanying decrease in food efficiency was observed at
the high dose.  There was no evidence that pyraclostrobin produced a
carcinogenic effect in rats.  The NOAEL for the chronic rat and the
cancer rat study is 75 ppm (ca. 3.4 mg/kg bw/day males; 4.7 mg/kg bw/day
females).

Pyraclostrobin was administered to groups of 50 male and 50 female
B6C3F1 mice at dietary concentrations of 0, 10, 30, 120 and 180 ppm
(females only) for 18 months.  Body weights were reduced at the highest
doses tested in both males and females.  At the high dose, body weight
gain decreases of 27% in females and 29% in males with an accompanying
decrease in food efficiency were observed.  No other signs of toxicity
were noted at any dose level.  The NOAEL  was found to be 30 ppm (ca.
4.1 mg/kg bw/day) for males. The Agency determined that the body weight
effect at the high dose in females was not sufficient to determine an
MTD.  Therefore the NOAEL for females is considered greater than the
highest dose tested of 32.8 mg/kg bw/day.   There was no evidence that
pyraclostrobin produced a carcinogenic effect in mice.]>

<	6. Animal metabolism. [In a rat metabolism study with pyraclostrobin,
10-13% of the administered dose was excreted in the urine and 74-91% in
the feces within 48 hours.  Excretion via bile was significant
accounting for 35-38% of the administered dose. By 120 hours after
dosing, very little radioactivity remained in tissues. Pyraclostrobin
was rapidly and almost completely metabolized.  Very little unchanged
parent was detected.  The phase one biotransformation is characterized
by N-demethoxylation, various hydroxylations, cleavage of the ether bond
and further oxidation of the two resulting molecule parts.  Conjugation
of the formed hydroxyl groups by glucuronic acid or sulfate also
occurred. In summary, pyraclostrobin is extensively metabolized and
rapidly eliminated primarily via the bile, with no evidence of
accumulation in tissues.]>

<	7. Metabolite toxicology. [A comparison of the rat metabolism results
with the plant metabolism/residue results indicates that toxicology
studies performed with the parent pyraclostrobin are sufficient to cover
dietary exposure.  Plant residues are primarily the parent compound with
a fraction (up to 10-20% at most) being the demethoxylated parent.  This
metabolite is referred to as BF 500-3 in the plant studies and as 500M07
in the rat study.  This metabolite in the rat is the first step in the
major biotransformation process leading to the majority of the
metabolites determined in the major excretion pathway.]>

<	8. Endocrine disruption. [Endocrine effects. No specific tests have
been conducted with pyraclostrobin to determine whether the chemical may
have an effect in humans that is similar to an effect produced by a
naturally occurring estrogen or other endocrine effects.  However, there
were no significant findings in other relevant toxicity studies (i.e.,
subchronic and chronic toxicity, teratology and multi-generation
reproductive studies) which would suggest that pyraclostrobin produces
endocrine related effects.]>

<C. Aggregate Exposure>

<	1. Dietary exposure. [Exposure assessments were conducted to evaluate
the potential risk due to acute and chronic dietary exposure to residues
of pyraclostrobin.  This analysis includes all current established
tolerances for pyraclostrobin in crop and animal commodities and the
proposed new tolerances in  coffee, and grain sorghum and an increase in
a existing tolerance for fruit, stone group.  The proposed new
tolerances for coffee and grain sorghum are 0.5 and 0.5 ppm,
respectively.  The proposed increase in fruit, stone, group is from 0.9
ppm to 2.5 ppm.  The acute dietary assessments were conducted using 100%
crop treatment factors, tolerance level or highest residue levels, and
experimentally derived processing factors for fruit juices, tomato, and
wheat commodities.  The chronic assessment was conducted using tolerance
or average residues levels, 100% crop treatment factors, and
experimentally derived processing factors for fruit juices, tomato, and
wheat commodities.  Average residues were used for apple, broccoli,
celery, collards, grape, lettuce, citrus, pepper, mustard greens, and
tomatoes.

The pyraclostrobin chronic reference dose (cRfD) is 0.034 mg/kg bw/day
based on the NOAEL of 3.4 mg/kg bw/day in the rat chronic toxicity study
and a 100X safety factor.  The acute reference dose (aRfD) is 3 mg/kg
b.w./day for the general population based on a NOAEL from the acute
neurotoxicity study of 300 mg/kg bw/day and a 100X safety factor.  For
females of child bearing years (13-49 years), the aRfD is 0.05 mg/kg
b.w./day based on the NOAEL of 5 mg/kg bw/day from the rabbit teratology
study and a 100X safety factor.  The EPA determined that the FQPA safety
factor should be 1X for all exposure scenarios.  Therefore, the acute
Population Adjusted Dose (aPAD) and the chronic Population Adjusted Dose
(cPAD) are the same as the aRfD and cRfD, respectively.]>

<	i. Food. [Considering the exposure assumptions discussed above,
pyraclostobin acute dietary exposure from food is less than 2.5 % aPAD
for the U.S. population and all sub-populations except females 13-49
years of age that occupies 78.66 % of the aPAD.  The results of the
acute dietary assessment are presented in Table 1.

The results of the analysis show that for all sub-populations, the
exposures are below the Agency's level of concern (< 100% aPAD).
Additional refinements in the dietary risk assessment would further
reduce the estimated exposure values  nsert text.

Considering the exposure assumptions discussed above, pyraclostobin
chronic dietary exposure from food for the U.S. population was 17.1 % of
the cPAD.  The most highly exposure population sub group was children
1-2 years of age at 41.5% cPAD.   The results of the chronic dietary
assessment are presented in Table 2.

refinements in the chronic dietary risk assessment (i.e. utilizing %
crop treatment factors) would further reduce the estimated exposure
values.  ]>

<	ii. Drinking water. [The water exposure values used for this analysis
are from the most recent EPA assessment for pyraclostrobin (February 11,
2008, “Pyraclostrobin. Acute and Chronic Aggregate Dietary (Food and
Drinking water) Exposure and Risk Assessment to Support new Uses on Oat
Grain, Barley, Oilseed (Crop group 20), Fresh Herbs (Herbs Subgroup
10=9A), Avocado, Black Sapote, Canistel, Mamey Spoted, Mango, Papaya,
Sapodilla, and Star Apple.”  The highest water exposure values were
from aerial application on ornamentals which resulted in an acute
exposure of 35.6 ug/L and chronic exposure of 2.3 ug/L.

Drinking water contributions were assessed based on the maximum
estimated pyraclostrobin water concentrations (acute – 35.6 ug/L,
chronic 2.3 ug/L), and water consumption and body weights reported in
CSFII, using DEEM-FCID software.  The acute and chronic estimated water
exposure values are summarized in Tables 3 and 4, respectively.  Minimal
exposure of pyraclostrobin occurs through drinking water with < 0.5% the
aPAD and cPAD for all subpopulations with the exception of females 13-49
years of age with a 3.5% aPAD.

Acute Aggregate Exposure and Risk (Food and water)

The aggregate acute risk includes residues of pyraclostrobin from food
and water (Table 5). Exposures from residential uses are not included in
the acute aggregate assessment.  The results demonstrate that there are
no safety concerns for any subpopulation based on established and new
uses, and that the results clearly meet the FQPA standard of reasonable
certainty of no harm.

Short- and Intermediate Term Aggregate Exposure and Risk (food, water,
and residential)

Short-term aggregate risk from pyraclostrobin takes into account
exposures from dietary consumption (food and water) and residential
exposure from turf use.  Post application exposure from the turf use is
considered short-term.  The aggregate MOEs from food, water, and
residential exposure are 119 and 233 for children 1-2 years old and the
US population, respectively.  These MOEs are greater than the target MOE
of 100 which indicates there is no safety concern.  The results of the
analysis are shown in Table 6.

 Chronic Aggregate Exposure and Risk (food and water)

The aggregate chronic risk includes residues of pyraclostrobin from food
and water (Table 7). Exposures from residential uses are not included in
the chronic aggregate assessment.  The results demonstrate there are no
safety concerns for any subpopulation based on established and new uses,
and that the results clearly meet the FQPA standard of reasonable
certainty of no harm.

<	2. Non-dietary exposure. [Pyraclostrobin is registered for use on
residential and recreational turf.  The applications to turf will be
made only by professional pest control operators.  Therefore,
residential handler exposure was not evaluated.  The exposure assessment
cited in this notice of filing was transcribed from the most recent
Federal Register Notice on pyraclostrobin (U.S. EPA final rule published
in the Federal Register October 29, 2004 [Vol 69, No. 209, p 63083 –
63100).  The EPA evaluated the following post-application exposure
scenarios 1) adults and toddler post-application dermal exposure 2)
toddlers’ incidental ingestion of pesticide residues on lawns form
hand-to-mouth transfer, 3) toddlers’ object-to-mouth transfer from
mouthing pesticide-treated turfgrass, and 4) toddlers’ incidental
ingestion of soil from pesticide-treated residential areas.  The
post-application exposure assessment was based on generic assumptions
specified in the Recommended Revisions to the Residential Standard
Operating Procedures and recommended approaches by an EPA science
advisory council.  A dermal absorption value of 14% was used in the
assessment of pyraclostrobin. The exposure and risk estimates for the
residential exposure scenarios are assessed for the day of application
because adults and toddlers could contact treated turf immediately after
application.  All short-/intermediate term MOE were greater than 100
which indicates that exposure from all residential scenarios result in
exposures below a level of concern.]>

<D. Cumulative Effects>

<	[Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) requires that, when considering whether to
establish, modify, or revoke a tolerance, the Agency consider
``available information'' concerning the cumulative effects of a
particular pesticide's residues and ``other substances that have a
common mechanism of toxicity.'  Pyraclostrobin is a foliar fungicide
which belongs to the new class of strobilurin chemistry.  It is a
synthetic analog of strobilurin A, a naturally occurring antifungal
metabolite of the mushroom Strobillurus tenacellus (Anke et. al., 1977).
The active ingredient acts in the fungal cell through inhibition of
electron transport in the mitochondrial respiratory chain at the
position of the cytochrome-bc1 complex.  The protective effect is due to
the resultant death of the fungal cells by disorganization of the fungal
membrane system.  Pyraclostrobin also acts curatively to prevent the
increase and spread of fungal infections by inhibiting mycelial growth
and sporulation on the leaf surface. Pyraclostrobin inhibits spore
germination, germ tube growth and penetration into the host tissues

The EPA is currently developing methodology to perform cumulative risk
assessments.  At this time, there is no available data to determine
whether pyraclostrobin has a common mechanism of toxicity with other
substances or how to include this pesticide in a cumulative risk
assessment. Unlike other pesticides for which EPA has followed a
cumulative risk approach based on a common mechanism of toxicity,
pyraclostrobin does not appear to produce a toxic metabolite common to
other substances.]>

<E. Safety Determination>

<	1. U.S. population. [Based on this risk assessment, BASF concludes
that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to the
general population from the aggregate exposure to pyraclostrobin
residues.]>

<	2. Infants and children. [Based on this risk assessment, BASF
concludes that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result
to infants or children from the aggregate exposure to pyraclostrobin
residues.]>

<F. International Tolerances>

<	[No Codex or Mexican maximum residue levels (MRLs) have been proposed
or are established for residues of pyraclostrobin.  Therefore, no
tolerance discrepancies exist between countries for this chemical.
Since the application for registration of pyraclostrobin was reviewed
jointly with the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) of Canada,
several Canadian MRLs for pyraclostrobin are proposed and are expected
to be published soon.  However, the joint review is expected to have
eliminated the potential for discrepancies between U.S. tolerances and
Canadian MRLs.]>

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community listed in the table 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 and are also used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM
and FIS report become effective.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the table below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard determinations 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 will also be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
are made final.
    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 may only 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 http://www.fema.gov/pdf/media/factsheets/2010/srp_fs.pdf.
    In the proposed flood hazard determination notice published at 78
FR 14581-14583 in the March 6, 2013, issue of the Federal Register,
FEMA

published a table titled ``Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and
Incorporated Areas.'' This table contained inaccurate information as to
the watershed or communities affected by the proposed flood hazard
determinations, or the associated community map repository or web
addresses also featured in the table. In this document, FEMA is
publishing a table containing the accurate information, to address
these prior errors. The information provided below should be used in
lieu of that previously published.

Correction

    In Proposed rule FR Doc. 2013-05186, beginning on page 14578 in the
issue of March 6, 2013, make the following correction. On pages 14581-
14583, correct the Allegheny County, Pennsylvania table as follows:

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2020-1120; Project Identifier 2019-SW-056-AD; Amendment
39-21962; AD 2022-05-10]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Goodrich Externally-Mounted Hoist
Assemblies

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
various model helicopters with certain part-numbered Goodrich
externally-mounted hoist assemblies (hoists) installed. This AD was
prompted by hoists failing lower load limit inspections. This AD
requires replacing unmodified hoists, installing placards, revising the
existing Rotorcraft Flight Manual (RFM) for your helicopter,
deactivating or removing a hoist if a partial peel out occurs,
reviewing the helicopter's hoist slip load test records, repetitively
inspecting the hoist cable and overload clutch (clutch), and reporting
information to the manufacturer. This AD also requires establishing
operating limitations on the hoist and prohibits installing an
unmodified hoist. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective April 20, 2022.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain document listed in this AD as of April 20, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to various model
helicopters with certain part-numbered externally-mounted Goodrich
hoists installed. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on
December 11, 2020 (85 FR 79930). In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to
require replacing unmodified hoists, installing placards, revising the
existing RFM for your helicopter, deactivating or removing a hoist if a
partial peel out occurs, reviewing the helicopter's hoist slip load
test records, repetitively inspecting the hoist cable and clutch, and
reporting information to the manufacturer. The NPRM was prompted by a
series of EASA ADs, the most recent at that time being EASA AD 2015-
0226R5, Revision 5, dated July 23, 2020 (EASA AD 2015-0226R5), to
correct an unsafe condition for various model helicopters with a
Goodrich externally-mounted hoist with one of the following part
numbers (P/Ns) or base P/Ns installed: 42315, 42325, 44301-10-1, 44301-
10-2, 44301-10-4, 44301-10-5, 44301-10-6, 44301-10-7, 44301-10-8,
44301-10-9, 44301-10-10, 44301-10-11, 44311, 44312, 44314, 44315,
44316, or 44318. EASA advised of an initial incident of a rescue hoist
containing a dummy test load of 552 lbs. that reeled-out without
command of the operator and impacted the ground during a maintenance
check flight because the overload clutch had failed. EASA stated that
this condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to further
cases of in-flight loss of the hoist load, possibly resulting in injury
to persons on the ground or in a hoisting accident.
    Accordingly, EASA AD 2015-0226R5 required a records review to
determine if the cable had exceeded the allowable limit in previous
load testing, a repetitive load check and test of the clutch slip
value, removal or deactivation of a hoist that could not be tested due
to lack of approved instructions, replacement of the old clutch P/N
with a new clutch developed by Goodrich to mitigate some of the factors
resulting in clutch degradation, periodic replacement of the hoist,
reduction of the maximum allowable load on the hoist, addition of
operational limitations to the RFM, and replacement of the hoist after
a partial peel out. EASA AD 2015-0226R5 also prohibited the
installation of a replacement cable that has exceeded the allowable
limit in previous load testing. EASA considered AD 2015-0226R5 to be
interim action and advised further AD action may follow.
    The FAA issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM)
to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to various
model helicopters with certain part-numbered externally-mounted
Goodrich hoists installed. The SNPRM published in the Federal Register
on September 30, 2021 (86 FR 54129). The SNPRM proposed to revise the
NPRM by adding a figure and revising certain requirements, including
changes to the temperatures in the

maximum hoist load limitations and adding the cost of a (field) load
check tool. The SNPRM was prompted by changes from the public comments,
which expanded the scope of the NPRM.
    Although the NPRM and SNPRM discussed the unsafe condition as
described by EASA in EASA AD 2015-0226R5, the FAA based most of the
proposed requirements in both the NPRM and the SNPRM on service
information issued by Goodrich for all helicopter models with an
affected hoist. For the replacement intervals proposed in paragraph
(g)(1) of the NPRM and SNPRM, the FAA based those actions on portions
of the EASA AD that are not model specific.

Actions Since the SNPRM Was Issued

    Since the FAA issued the SNPRM, EASA has revised EASA AD 2015-
0226R5 and issued EASA AD 2015-0226R6, Revision 6, dated December 8,
2021, and corrected December 20, 2021 (EASA AD 2015-0226R6). EASA AD
2015-0226R6 adds a new helicopter model-specific replacement/overhaul
interval for affected hoists with a new overload clutch. After
reviewing the changes in EASA AD 2015-0226R6, the FAA has determined
that no changes to this AD are necessary.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received comments from Bell Textron Canada Limited (Bell
Canada), Collins Aerospace, and Transport Canada. The following
presents the comments received on the SNPRM and the FAA's response to
each comment.

Request Regarding the Costs of Compliance

    Collins Aerospace commented that two new potential costs could
impact operators: Groundings from an inability to update the fleet and
contract penalties for operational contracts requiring the use of a
600-lb rated hoist.
    The cost analysis in AD rulemaking actions includes only the costs
associated with complying with the AD, which does not include indirect
costs such as down-time and loss of revenue.

Request To Change the AD for Bell Canada Model 429 and 430 Helicopters

    Bell Canada and Transport Canada stated that, because Canada is the
state of design for Model 429 and 430 helicopters, the FAA should
review Transport Canada AD CF-2017-23, dated July 7, 2017 (Transport
Canada AD CF-2017-23), and revise the FAA's proposed AD accordingly.
The commenters stated that they discussed the corrective actions in
Transport Canada AD CF-2017-23 and tailored its limitations and
operating parameters specifically for Bell Canada Model 429 and 430
helicopters. Bell Canada stated that because the related EASA AD was
issued unilaterally, the mitigations in Transport Canada AD CF-2017-23
are better suited for Model 429 and 430 helicopters than those in the
EASA AD.
    The FAA reviewed Transport Canada AD CF-2017-23, which is
applicable to, and has some different requirements for, certain Bell
Canada Model 429 and 430 helicopters. This FAA AD applies to affected
Goodrich hoists, regardless of the model helicopter they are installed
on, to address the risk to the fleet independent of the helicopter
installation. Accordingly, the FAA based its AD on Goodrich's service
information and not on any model-specific requirements. Operators may
request approval of model-specific corrective actions as an alternative
method of compliance (AMOC) under the provisions of paragraph (h) of
this AD.

Request Regarding Compliance Time for Hoist Replacement

    Collins Aerospace requested the FAA extend the compliance time for
replacing an affected hoist with a hoist that has an improved overload
clutch assembly from 12 months to 24 months. In support, Collins
Aerospace stated 24 months is an acceptable time based on improved data
from the initial load checks and subsequent checks with a load check
tool. Additionally, Collins Aerospace stated it does not have the
capacity to provide improved overload clutch assemblies for the entire
fleet within 12 months.
    The FAA agrees because no additional reports of low pulling hoists
have been received since issuance of the SNPRM. The FAA has revised
this final rule accordingly.

Request To Prohibit Maneuvering

    In the SNPRM, the FAA proposed to require a placard and RFM
limitation that warned the pilot about excessive maneuvering with a
load on an extended cable and limited the maximum sustained bank angle
to 20 degrees. Bell Canada stated that limits on bank angle (and
pendulum angle) are difficult to monitor by aircrew and will increase
crew workload, and therefore prohibiting maneuvering with load on
extended cable is necessary to manage the risk of clutch slippage. The
FAA infers that Bell Canada is requesting the FAA prohibit maneuvering
with load on an extended cable for Model 429 and 430 helicopters.
    The FAA disagrees with changing the flight limitation from a bank
angle limit to a maneuvering prohibition. The FAA determined that
limiting the bank angle in conjunction with a reduced maximum load
mitigates the unsafe condition. The attitude indicator, which is used
by the pilot to monitor the bank angle while maneuvering an external
load, is in the pilot's normal field of view and is regularly
monitored; therefore, any additional workload is minimal. The FAA does
agree that requiring the aircrew to monitor the lateral pendulum angle
of the hoist cable with respect to the helicopter's vertical axis would
not be an acceptable limitation because it would not be measurable or
enforceable.

Requests Regarding the Maximum Hoist Load Limitations

    In the SNPRM, the FAA proposed to require a placard and revision to
the RFM to reduce the weight limitations for the hoist load based on
the outside air temperature. Bell Canada stated that the FAA's proposed
limitations include a de-rating factor of 50 lbs, which is not
warranted for Bell Canada Model 429 and 430 helicopters. In support,
Bell Canada stated that the de-rating factor was established to
accommodate certain maneuvering, which has been prohibited for the Bell
Canada products.
    The FAA determined the de-rating factor is necessary because it
directly correlates to the bank angle limitation required by this AD.
    Collins Aerospace requested the FAA change the proposed maximum
hoist load limitations to distinguishing between non-modified hoists
(without the number ``4'' as the first digit of its serial number (S/
N)) and modified hoists with a new clutch (with the number ``4'' as the
first digit of its S/N). Collins Aerospace stated that after EASA AD
2015-0226R1 was issued, Goodrich performed a series of characterization
tests that demonstrated the performance envelope of the modified hoist
in various conditions. According to Collins Aerospace, the results of
these tests as documented in Goodrich Report No. 49000-1087, Revision
A, dated July 31, 2017, indicate that margins are maintained with a
less restrictive temperature limitation than those imposed on non-
modified hoists.
    As the FAA explained in the SNPRM, the FAA disagrees with requiring
different maximum hoist load limitations for non-modified hoists and
modified hoists. After reviewing the data in the report referenced by
the

commenter, the FAA determined it does not demonstrate with an
acceptable level of confidence that less restrictive temperature
limitations are appropriate for modified hoists.

Requests Regarding the Partial Peel Out Requirement

    In the SNPRM, the FAA proposed to prohibit use of the hoist if a
partial peel out occurs, through both a placard limitation and a
requirement to deactivate or remove the hoist. Bell Canada requested
the FAA remove the proposed placard requirement because it only
requires that the pilot cease using the hoist before the next flight
and does not provide crew instructions to be executed during the hoist
operation.
    The placard provides requirements for the crew following any
partial peel out. The FAA determined that the most effective way to
provide this information to the aircrew is through a placard.
    In the SNPRM, the FAA proposed to define partial peel out as
occurring when 20 inches or more of the hoist cable reels off of the
cable drum in one clutch slip incident. Bell Canada requested the FAA
change this definition to ``approximately'' 20 inches. Bell Canada
stated that a finite 20 inches will be difficult to measure;
``approximately 20 inches'' would be consistent with the Goodrich
service information.
    A measurement of ``approximately 20 inches'' would be vague in that
it may be interpreted in more than one way. The operator is capable of
measuring 20 or more inches of the hoist cable by, for example, using
slippage markings on the cable.

Conclusion

    Affected helicopters include helicopters that have been approved by
the aviation authorities of Canada, Italy, France, and Germany 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, considered the comments received, 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 products.
Except for the changes described previously, this AD is adopted as
proposed in the SNPRM. None of the changes will increase the economic
burden on any operator.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Goodrich Alert Service Bulletin No. ASB 44301-10-
18, Revision 6, dated October 10, 2016, which specifies maximum hoist
load limitations with respect to ambient temperature and describes
actions and conditions that could reduce the capacity of the clutch.
This service information also specifies procedures for inspecting the
cable and inspecting the clutch by performing a cable conditioning lift
and a hoist slip load test.
    This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    EASA AD 2015-0226R5 requires repetitively replacing the hoist with
a modified hoist, whereas this AD requires a one-time replacement of
the hoist with a modified hoist that has the improved clutch assembly
installed. EASA AD 2015-0226R5 requires adding a placard or operational
limitation to the RFM warning that exceeding 15[deg] of lateral
pendulum angle/helicopter vertical axis can lead to clutch slippage,
and this AD does not. EASA AD 2015-0226R5 requires adding an operating
limitation to the RFM limiting the number of persons who can be
hoisted, whereas this AD does not. This AD requires replacing the cable
before the next hoist operation if a cable has previously been load-
tested at more than 1,500 lbs or at an unknown weight during at least
one cable pull, while EASA AD 2015-0226R5 requires this replacement
during multiple cable pulls. This AD requires visually inspecting and
measuring the diameter of the cable before and after performing a cable
conditioning and a hoist slip load test, whereas EASA AD 2015-0226R5
does not. This AD requires performing the cable conditioning and hoist
slip load test within 30 days after the effective date of this AD,
unless already done within the last 6 calendar months, and thereafter
at intervals not to exceed 6 months, 400 lifts, or 300 cycles. EASA AD
2015-0226R5 specifies performing the hoist slip load test according to
the compliance time of the design approval holder instead. After the
installation (not reinstallation) of a modified hoist, EASA AD 2015-
0226R5 requires performing an initial hoist load check/test prior to
hoisting operation, whereas this AD does not.

Interim Action

    The FAA considers this AD an interim action. The inspection reports
required by this AD will enable better insight into the condition of
the hoists, and eventually be used to develop final action to address
the unsafe condition. Once final action has been identified, the FAA
might consider further rulemaking.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 2,911 hoists installed on
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.
    Replacing a clutch takes about 8 work-hours and parts cost about
$24,000 for an estimated cost of $24,680 per hoist. Alternatively,
replacing a hoist takes about 8 work-hours and parts cost about
$200,000 for an estimated cost of $200,680 per hoist.
    Revising the existing RFM for your helicopter and installing
placards takes about 0.5 work-hour for an estimated cost of $43 per
helicopter and $125,173 for the U.S. fleet.
    Deactivating or removing a hoist that experiences a partial peel
out takes about 2 work-hours for an estimated cost of $170.
    Reviewing records takes about 0.5 work-hour for an estimated cost
of $43 per helicopter and $125,173 for the U.S. fleet.
    Inspecting the cable and performing a cable conditioning lift and
hoist slip load test takes about 2 work-hours for an estimated cost of
$170 per helicopter and $494,870 for the U.S. fleet per inspection
cycle. A load check tool costs about $11,171. Reporting the hoist slip
load test information takes about 0.25 work-hour for a cost of $21 per
helicopter and $61,131 for the U.S. fleet per reporting cycle.
    Replacing the cable takes about 3 work-hours and parts cost about
$3,150 for a total replacement cost of $3,405 per hoist.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB
Control Number for this information collection is 2120-0056. Public
reporting for this collection of

information is estimated to take approximately 0.25 hour per response,
including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data
sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and
reviewing the collection of information. All responses to this
collection of information are mandatory. Send comments regarding this
burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information,
including suggestions for reducing this burden to: Information

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.

(d) Subject

    Joint Aircraft Service Component (JASC) Code: 2500, Cabin
Equipment/Furnishings.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by hoists failing lower load limit
inspections. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent failure of the
hoist overload clutch. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could
result in an in-flight failure of the hoist, which could result in
injury to a person being lifted.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Required Actions

    (1) For a hoist without the number ``4'' as the first digit of
its serial number (S/N):
    (i) For hoists that use operating hours to monitor hoist
operation, within 24 months after the effective date of this AD or
before the hoist accumulates 55 total hoist operating hours,
whichever occurs first, replace the hoist. For purposes of this AD,
hoist operating hours are counted anytime the hoist motor is
operating.
    (ii) For hoists that use hoist cycles (cycles) to monitor hoist
operation, within 24 months after the effective date of this AD or
before the hoist accumulates 1,200 total cycles, whichever occurs
first, replace the hoist. For purposes of this AD, a cycle is
counted anytime the cable is extended and then retracted a minimum
of 16 feet (5 meters) during flight or on the ground, with or
without a load.
    (iii) For hoists that use hoist lifts (lifts) to monitor hoist
operation, within 24 months after the effective date of this AD or
before the hoist accumulates 1,600 total lifts, whichever occurs
first, replace the hoist. For purposes of this AD, a lift is counted
anytime the cable is unreeled or recovered or both with a load
attached to the hook, regardless of the length of the cable that is
deployed or recovered. An unreeling or recovery of the cable with no
load on the hook is not a lift. If a load is applied for half an
operation (i.e. unreeling or recovery), it must be counted as one
lift.
    (2) For all hoists identified in the introductory text of
paragraph (c) of this AD, before further flight, install placards
and revise the existing Rotorcraft Flight Manual (RFM) for your
helicopter by inserting a copy of this AD or by making pen-and-ink
changes in Section 2, Limitations, of the RFM Supplement for the
hoist as follows:
    (i) For 500 pound (lb) rated hoists, install a placard with the
information in Figure 1 to paragraph (g)(2)(i) of this AD in full
view of the hoist operator and add the information in Figure 1 to
paragraph (g)(2)(i) of this AD to the existing RFM for your
helicopter.

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR16MR22.033

BILLING CODE 4910-13-C
    (3) For all hoists identified in the introductory text of
paragraph (c) of this AD, as of the effective date of this AD, if a
partial peel out occurs, deactivate or remove the hoist from service
before further flight. For purposes of this AD, a partial peel out
occurs when 20 inches (0.5 meter) or more of the hoist cable reels
off of the hoist cable drum in one overload clutch slip incident.
    (4) For all hoists identified in the introductory text of
paragraph (c) of this AD, within 30 days after the effective date of
this AD, review the helicopter's hoist slip load test records. If
the cable was load-tested at more than 1,500 lbs or at an unknown
weight during one or more cable pulls, replace the cable with an
airworthy cable before the next hoist operation.
    (5) For all hoists identified in the introductory text of
paragraph (c) of this AD, within 30 days after the effective date of
this AD, unless already done within the last 6 calendar months, and
thereafter at intervals not to exceed 6 months, 400 lifts, or 300
cycles, whichever occurs first:
    (i) Visually inspect the first 18 inches (45 cm) of the cable
from the hook assembly for broken wires and necked down sections. If
there is a broken wire or necked down section, replace the cable
with an airworthy cable before further flight.
    (ii) Within the first 18 inches (45 cm) of the cable from the
hook assembly, measure the diameter of the cable at the most necked
down area. If the diameter measurement is less than 0.185 inch (4.7
mm), replace the cable with an airworthy cable before further
flight.
    (iii) Using load check tool P/N 49900-889-103 or 49900-889-104,
perform a cable conditioning and a hoist slip load test by following
the Accomplishment Instructions, paragraphs 3.C.(1) through
3.C.(3)(g) of ASB 44301-10-18 Rev 6. If the average of the five test
values is less than the limit shown in Table 2 for 600 lb rated
hoists or Table 3 for 500 lb rated hoists of ASB 44301-10-18 Rev 6,
remove the hoist from service before further flight.
    (iv) Visually inspect the first 30 feet (10 meters) of the cable
from the hook assembly for broken wires, necked down sections,
kinks, bird-caging, flattened areas, abrasion, and gouging. It is
permissible for the cable to have a slight curve immediately after
performing the hoist slip load test. If there is a broken wire,
necked down section, kink, or any bird-caging; or if there is a
flattened area, any abrasion, or a gouge that exceeds allowable
limits, replace the cable with an airworthy cable before further
flight.
    (v) Repeat the actions specified in paragraphs (g)(5)(i) and
(ii) of this AD. If there is a broken wire or necked down section or
the cable diameter measurement is less than 0.185 inch (4.7 mm),
replace the cable with an airworthy cable before further flight.
    (6) Within 30 days after accomplishing the hoist slip load test,
report the information requested in Appendix 1 to this AD by email
to [email protected]; or mail to Goodrich, Collins Aerospace;
2727 E. Imperial Hwy., Brea, CA 92821.
    (7) As of the effective date of this AD, do not install as a
replacement part or as an original installation an externally-
mounted hoist with a P/N identified in the introductory text of
paragraph (c) of this AD unless it has an improved overload clutch
assembly with the number ``4'' as the first digit of the S/N.

(h) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, International Validation Branch, FAA, has the
authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the
