Airworthiness Directives; M7 Aerospace LLC

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all M7
Aerospace LLC Models SA226-AT, SA226-T, SA226-T(B), SA226-TC, SA227-AC
(C-26A), SA227-AT, SA227-BC (C-26A), SA227-CC, SA227-DC (C-26B), and
SA227-TT airplanes. This AD was prompted by corrosion and stress
corrosion cracking of the pitch trim actuator upper attach fittings of
the horizontal stabilizer front spar. This AD requires repetitive
inspections with replacement of fittings as necessary. We are issuing
this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective January 12, 2017.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of January 12,
2017.

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 all M7 Aerospace LLC Models
SA226-AT, SA226-T, SA226-T(B), SA226-TC, SA227-AC (C-26A), SA227-AT,
SA227-BC (C-26A), SA227-CC, SA227-DC (C-26B), and SA227-TT airplanes.
The NPRM published in the Federal Register on September 13, 2016 (81 FR
62845). The NPRM was prompted by reports of multiple SA226 and SA227
airplanes with corrosion and/or stress corrosion cracks in the pitch
trim actuator upper attach fittings of the horizontal stabilizer front
spar. The NPRM proposed to require repetitive inspections of the pitch
trim actuator upper attach fittings for corrosion and/or cracking in
the bolt holes and the web/flange radius with replacement of fittings
as necessary. This condition, if not corrected, could cause jamming
and/or loss of control of the horizontal stabilizer, which could result
in partial or complete loss of airplane pitch control. We are issuing
this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

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

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

    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 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.

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 the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface at Menominee Regional Airport, Menominee, MI, to
support instrument flight rule operations at this airport.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
Communications should identify both docket numbers and be submitted in
triplicate to the address listed above. Commenters wishing the FAA to
acknowledge receipt of their comments on this notice must submit with
those comments a self-addressed, stamped postcard on which the
following statement is made: ``Comments to Docket No. FAA-2022-1003/
Airspace Docket No. 22-AGL-30.'' The postcard will be date/time stamped
and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received before the specified closing date for
comments will be considered before taking action on the proposed rule.
The proposal contained in this notice may be changed in light of the
comments received. A report summarizing each substantive public contact
with FAA personnel concerned with this rulemaking will be filed in the
docket.

Availability of NPRMs

    An electronic copy of this document may be downloaded through the
internet at www.regulations.gov. Recently published rulemaking
documents can also be accessed through the FAA's web page at
www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/airspace_amendments/.
    You may review the public docket containing the proposal, any
comments received, and any final disposition in person in the Dockets
Office (see the ADDRESSES section for the address and phone number)
between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except federal
holidays. An informal docket may also be examined during normal
business hours at the Federal Aviation Administration, Air Traffic
Organization, Central Service Center, Operations Support Group, 10101
Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 10, 2021, and effective
September 15, 2021. FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F
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 14 CFR part 71 by amending the
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at
Menominee Regional Airport, Menominee, MI, by removing the extension to
the north of the airport as it is no longer required; and updating the
name (previously Menominee-Marinette Twin County Airport) and
geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's
aeronautical database.
    This action is due to an airspace review conducted as part of the
decommissioning of the Menominee VOR, which provided navigation
information for the instrument procedures at this airport, as part of
the VOR MON Program.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order JO 7400.11F, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September
15, 2021, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class
E airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in FAA Order JO 7400.11.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
is published yearly and effective on September 15.

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.

    Abstract: The Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended by ``The Water
Quality Act

of 1987'' (U.S.C. 1381-1387 et seq.), created a Title VI which
authorizes grants to States for the establishment of State Water
Pollution Control Revolving Funds (SRF). The American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) established a matching State Water
Pollution Control Revolving Fund Program with funds that had to be
obligated in one year. The information collection activities will occur
primarily at the program level through the State ``Intended Use Plan''
(IUP) and ``Annual Report''. The information is needed annually to
implement Section 606 of the CWA.
    The 1987 Act declares that water pollution control revolving funds
shall be administered by an instrumentality of the State subject to the
requirements of the act. This means that each State has a general
responsibility for administering its revolving fund and must take on
certain specific responsibilities in carrying out its administrative
duties. The information collection activities will occur primarily at
the program level through the State IUP and Annual Report. The
information is needed annually to implement section 606 of the Clean
Water Act. The Act requires the information to ensure national
accountability, adequate public comment and review, fiscal integrity
and consistent management directed to achieve environmental benefits
and results. The individual information collections are:
    (1) Capitalization Grant Application and Agreement/State IUP: The
State will prepare a Capitalization Grant application that includes a
State IUP outlining in detail how it will use all of the funds
available to the fund. The grant agreement contains or incorporates by
reference the IUP, application materials, payment schedule, and
required assurances. The bulk of the information is provided in the
IUP, the legal agreement which commits the State and EPA to execute
their responsibilities under the Act.
    (2) Annual Report: The State must agree to complete and submit an
Annual Report that indicates how the State has met the goals and
objectives of the previous fiscal year as stated in the IUP and grant
agreement. The report provides information on loan recipients, loan
amounts, loan terms, project categories, environmental benefits and
similar data on other forms of assistance. The report describes the
extent to which the existing SRF financial operating policies, alone or
in combination with other State financial assistance programs, will
provide for the long term fiscal health of the Fund and carry out other
provisions specified in the grant operating agreement.
    (3) Annual Audit: Most States have agreed to conduct or have
conducted a separate financial audit of the Capitalization Grant which
will provide opinions on the financial statements and a report on the
internal controls and compliance with program requirements. The
remaining States will be covered by audits conducted under the
requirements of the Single Audit Act and by EPA's Office of Inspector
General.
    (4) Application for SRF Financial Assistance: Local communities and
other eligible entities have to prepare and submit applications for SRF
assistance to their respective State Agency which manages the SRF
program. The State reviews the completed loan application and verifies
that the proposed projects will comply with applicable Federal and
State requirements.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 108
hours per response for the base program and 97.5 hours per response for
the ARRA program. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: State and Local governments; local
communities and tribes.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: Base Program: 8,262; ARRA Program:
4,669.
    Frequency of Response: Annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: Base Program: 441,405; ARRA
Program: 364,442.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: Base Program: $12,916,260. This
includes an estimated burden cost of $6,389,280 State, and $6,526,980
Local. ARRA Program: $10,902,487. This includes an estimated burden
cost of $6,805,440 State, and $4,097,047 Local.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 4,437 responses
and decrease of 65,376 hours in the total estimated burden currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This increase
reflects EPA's acceptance of additional loan applicants for the State
SRF loan program. The decrease in burden hours is the time needed to
process and report on these loans on an annual basis.

BILLING CODE 6560-50-P


Response to Comment  -  EPA-R03-OAR-2017-0453  -  Approval and Promulgation of State Air Quality Plans for Designated Facilities and Pollutants; City of Philadelphia; Control of Emissions from Existing Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerator Units
Comment: The commenter stated that EPA must ensure that no additional HMIWI units have been constructed since the time of Philadelphia's certification letter. The commenter also asserted that since so much time has passed since the submittal of the negative declaration, EPA cannot rely on such an outdated form of information to ensure no units have been built.

Response: EPA does not agree with the commenter's assertion that EPA must ensure that no additional HMIWI units have been constructed since Philadelphia AMS submitted the negative declaration on August 2, 2011 in order to finalize this action.  As stated in the technical support document for the NPR and the emission guidelines for existing HMIWI units (40 CFR 60 subpart Ce), the designated facilities to which the EG apply are existing HMIWI units that: 1) commenced construction on or before June 20, 1996, or for which modification was commenced on or before March 16, 1998; or 2) commenced construction after June 20, 1996 but no later than December 1, 2008, or for which modification commenced after March 16, 1998 but no later than April 6, 2010, with limited exceptions as provided in paragraphs 40 CFR 60.32e(b) through (h).  (40 CFR 60.32e(a))  Thus, to obtain EPA approval of Philadelphia's negative declaration regarding existing HMIWI units, Philadelphia only needed to assert no HMIWI units exist that commenced construction before December 1, 2008 or commenced modification before April 6, 2010.  Because Philadelphia's August 2, 2011 submittal meets that criterion, Philadelphia's negative declaration did not need to address whether any new units have been constructed since the time of Philadelphia's certification letter on August 2, 2011.  EPA's acceptance of Philadelphia's negative declaration therefore is appropriate.

HMIWI units constructed in Philadelphia after the above cited dates would be considered "new," as opposed to "existing," and therefore would be subject to a separate rule - 40 CFR 60 subpart Ec, "Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources: Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators."  EPA is not aware of any new HMIWI units within the jurisdictional boundaries of Philadelphia AMS.  If EPA became aware of a new HMIWI unit in Philadelphia, it would have no bearing on the approvability of this HMIWI negative declaration because it only pertains to existing sources.

At the time of Philadelphia's submission, EPA worked with Philadelphia AMS and reviewed Philadelphia's inventory of sources to ensure no existing HMIWI units existed within Philadelphia, and the commenter has not provided any information to the contrary that would cause EPA to reconsider the assessment of Philadelphia AMS's negative declaration.  EPA is therefore finalizing the negative declaration for existing HMIWI units in this action.

Summary of Petitions

	EPA has received a pesticide petition ([insert petition number]) from
[(15401 Weston Parkway, Suite 150, Cary, North Carolina 27513)]
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.

Options (pick one)

 by establishing a tolerance for residues of

[Fluoxastrobin,
(1E)-[2-[[6-(2-chlorophenoxy)-5-fluoro-4-pyrimydinyl]oxy]phenyl](5,6-dih
ydro-1,4,2-dioxazin-3-yl)methanone O-methyloxime, and its Z isomer,
(1Z)-[2-[[6-(2-chlorophenoxy)-5-fluoro-4-pyrimydinyl]oxy]phenyl](5,6-dih
ydro-1,4,2-dioxazin-3-yl)methanone O-methyloxime] in or on the raw
agricultural commodities [low growing berries (crop subgroup 13-07G)] at
[1.9] parts per million (ppm).  EPA has determined that the petition
contains data or information regarding the elements set forth in section
408(d)(2) of the FFDCA; however, EPA has not fully evaluated the
sufficiency of the submitted data at this time or whether the data
supports granting of the petition.  Additional data may be needed before
EPA rules on the petition.

A. Residue Chemistry

. [The metabolism of fluoxastrobin in plants is adequately understood.
Studies have been conducted to delineate the metabolism of radiolabeled
fluoxastrobin in peanut, tomato, spring wheat, and various
representative rotational crops, all showing similar results. The
residue of concern is parent fluoxastrobin (sum of E and Z isomers).]

. [Adequate analytical methodology using LC/MS/MS detection is available
for enforcement purposes.]

. [Magnitude of residue trials were conducted on strawberries, which are
the representative crop for the low growing berry crop subgroup 13-07G.
Therefore, the data support the proposed tolerances.]

B. Toxicological Profile

.  [Oral and dermal LD50 values were >2000 mg/kg bw.  Inhalation LC50
values were >4998 mg/m3 air.  Fluoxastrobin technical was not irritating
to rabbit skin, was moderately irritating to eyes in rabbits and was
non-sensitizing dermally in the Magnusson/Kligman maximization test in
guinea pigs.  Acute toxicity studies for fluoxastrobin support an
overall toxicity Category III.]

.  [Several genotoxicity tests were conducted to test for
point-mutagenic activity, chromosome aberration in vitro and in vivo,
and for DNA repair.  All tests conducted were negative, indicating no
evidence of mutagenic or genotoxic potential.]

.  [An oral developmental toxicity study in rat did not reveal any
evidence of teratogenic potential.  The maternal NOAEL was 300 mg/kg and
the developmental NOAEL was 1000 mg/kg bw/day.  An oral developmental
toxicity study in rabbits demonstrated a maternal NOAEL of 25 mg/kg
bw/day, a developmental NOAEL of 100 mg/kg bw/day and did not reveal any
teratogenic potential.  A two-generation study in rats, with a parental
toxicity NOAEL of 73.7 mg/kg bw/day for males and 86.7 mg/kg bw/day for
females, did not reveal evidence of a primary reproductive toxicity
potential.  The reproductive NOAEL was 763.6 mg/kg bw/day for males and
806.5 mg/kg bw/day in females.]

[A subchronic toxicity feeding study with rats over 90 days demonstrated
a NOAEL of 7.3 and 18.3 mg/kg bw/day for males and females,
respectively, based on reduced body weights and alterations in several
urinary tract related clinical chemistry parameters, at the higher dose
levels.  In a subchronic feeding study in mice over 14 weeks a NOAEL was
not established based on decreased alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) and
increased absolute and relative liver weights at the low dose level
(21.7 and 35.3 mg/kg bw/day for males and females, respectively).  A
14-week feeding study in dogs demonstrated a NOAEL of 3.0 mg/kg bw/day
based on decreased body weights and food consumption, and liver effects
(enzyme induction, increased liver weights and cytoplasmic change) and
thyroid effects (decreased T3).]

.  [A 24-month chronic/oncogenicity feeding study in rats demonstrated a
NOAEL of 53.0 and 35.2 mg/kg bw/day for males and females, respectively.
 An oncogenicity study in the mouse revealed a NOAEL of 18.5 and 29.5
mg/kg bw/day for males and females, respectively based on liver effects.
 There was no indication in the rat or mouse for an oncogenic effect of
fluoxastrobin.  A one-year feeding study with dogs demonstrated a NOAEL
of 1.7 and 1.5 mg/kg bw/day for males and females, respectively based on
decreased body weights and slight  liver effects (increased alkaline
phosphatase (Aph) and liver weights).]

. [Metabolism and pharmacokinetic studies in the rats, lactating goats
and laying hens demonstrate that fluoxastrobin residues are rapidly
absorbed, metabolized and eliminated.  There was no evidence of
accumulation of residues in any tissues or organs.  The metabolic
pattern was always complex and numerous metabolites were identified.
The main metabolic reactions, however, are very comparable for all
tested animal species and most metabolites were present at low levels.
As per the meat and milk tolerances established in 40 CFR 180.609, the
tolerance expression includes fluoxastrobin (sum of E and Z isomers) and
it’s phenoxy-hydroxypyrimidine metabolite.]

. [The residues of concern are fluoxastrobin and its
phenoxy-hydroxypyrimidine metabolite.  This metabolite was investigated
for acute oral toxicity and point mutagenic activity in a bacterial
reverse mutation assay.  The phenoxy-hydroxypyrimidine metabolite did
not show mutagenic activity in the reverse mutation assay and the oral
LD50 was >300<500 mg/kg body weight.]

.  [There is no evidence to suggest that fluoxastrobin has any primary
endocrine disruptive potential.  Reproductive and developmental findings
provided no evidence of an enhanced sensitivity of the young.]

C. Aggregate Exposure

.

.  [A chronic dietary analysis was conducted to estimate exposure to
potential fluoxastrobin residues in/on low growing berries (crop
subgroup 13-07G) in addition to all currently registered crops.  Acute
analyses were not conducted since, as per EPA’s 1/24/05 human health
risk assessment, there was no indication of an adverse effect
attributable to a single dose and therefore an acute reference dose
(aRfD) was not established. Tier I analysis was conducted for the
chronic scenario using the DEEM-FCID( (Exponent, Inc.) software.
Chronic dietary exposure estimates from potential residues of
fluoxastrobin for the US Population was 16.3% of the chronic RfD.  The
sub-population with the highest exposure was Children 1-2 with 37.3% of
the chronic RfD used. Tier I assessments use tolerance residue values
and 100% crop treated.  These can be considered very conservative
estimates of exposure.]

. [EPA has previously demonstrated (see per EPA’s 1/24/05 human health
risk assessment) that the use on turf is associated with the highest
potential impacts to surface water using PRZM/EXAMS, with the average
concentration in surface water of 28 ppb.  Groundwater concentrations
have been estimated to be <1 ppb.  Since the application rate on turf (4
applications at 0.55 lb ai/A with 14-day RTI) is higher than that on
other registered crops (4 applications at 0.18 lb ai/A with 7-day RTI),
there is no need to evaluate potential drinking water impacts for the
proposed use on low growing berries (crop subgroup 13-07G).  Therefore,
the worst-case assumption is 28 ppb fluoxastrobin in drinking water.]

. [Residential Post-application Exposures: The proposed use on low
growing berries (crop subgroup 13-07G) will not result in residential
post-application exposures; therefore residential post-application
exposures are associated only with adults and children who may contact
treated turf. In EPA’s 2005 assessment, MOEs for residential
post-application exposures were found to be greater than 100 for all
scenarios.]

[Aggregate Exposures: Short-term and intermediate-term aggregate
exposures were calculated.  Dietary exposures include the addition of
the low growing berries (crop subgroup 13-07G) to all registered crops
and impacts to drinking water.  Short-term aggregate calculations
include only oral exposures because there is no short-term dermal
endpoint.  The intermediate-term aggregate calculations include both
dermal and oral exposures.  Aggregate MOEs are greater than 100 for
adults and children for both short- and intermediate-term exposure
durations.

Aggregate exposures are not calculated for the long-term (i.e., chronic)
because only dietary exposures factor into the long-term scenario.
Therefore, the chronic dietary exposures are the same as the long-term
exposures.]

D. Cumulative Effects

[Fluoxastrobin is a novel strobilurin analog.  Arysta LifeScience North
America, LLC will submit information, if necessary, for EPA to consider
concerning potential cumulative effects of fluoxastrobin consistent with
the schedule established by EPA at 62 Federal Register 42020 (Aug. 4,
1997) and other EPA publications pursuant to the Food Quality Protection
Act. ]

E. Safety Determination

. [Using the conservative assumptions described above, based on the
completeness and reliability of the toxicity data, it is concluded that
dietary exposure (food and water) from the proposed and registered uses
of fluoxastrobin will utilize at most 16.3% of the reference dose for
the US Population, and is likely to be much less as more realistic data
and models are developed.  EPA generally has no concern for exposures
below 100% of the RfD because the RfD represents the level at or below
which daily dietary (food plus water) exposure over a lifetime will not
pose appreciable risks to human health.  In addition, aggregate (food
and water dietary plus residential) MOEs are greater than 100 for adults
for both short- and intermediate-term exposure durations. Finally, all
handler exposure scenarios also have MOE greater than 100. Therefore,
there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will occur to the US
Population from aggregate exposure to fluoxastrobin.]

. [Consideration of the toxicology database as described above leads to
no additional concerns for infants and children.  Therefore the FQPA
safety factor can be established at 1X.  Using the conservative exposure
assumptions described in the exposure section above, the margins of
exposure that will result for short- and intermediate-term aggregate
exposure (food plus water plus residential) to residues of fluoxastrobin
are greater than 100 for children. This value is based on a worst-case
aggregate exposure calculation of a child 1-6 who has a background
dietary exposure to potential residues and plays on a maximally treated
lawn.  Therefore, there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will
occur to infants and children from aggregate exposure to residues of
fluoxastrobin.]

F. International Tolerances

	[Codex maximum residue levels (MRLs) are not yet established  for
fluoxastrobin.]

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2007-28378; Directorate Identifier 2007-NM-089-AD;
Amendment 39-15222; AD 2007-21-04]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 727 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
Boeing Model 727 airplanes. This AD requires doing an initial detailed
inspection for cracks in the aft pressure bulkhead web; repairing any
discrepancy; and doing repetitive detailed inspections, and doing
related investigative actions, if necessary. This AD results from
reports of cracking in the aft pressure bulkhead web. We are issuing
this AD to detect and correct a cracked pressure bulkhead web, which
could result in rapid decompression of the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective November 16, 2007.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of November 16,
2007.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://dms.dot.gov
 or in person at the U.S. Department of Transportation,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Examining the Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://dms.dot.gov

or in person at the Docket Operations office between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The Docket Operations
office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is located on the ground floor of the
West Building at the DOT street address stated in the ADDRESSES
section.

Discussion

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to all Boeing Model 727
airplanes. That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on June 25,
2007 (72 FR 34646). That NPRM proposed to require doing an initial
detailed inspection for cracks in the aft pressure bulkhead web;
repairing any discrepancy; and doing repetitive detailed inspections,
and doing related investigative actions, if necessary.

Comments

    We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. We have considered the comment received. The
commenter, Boeing, supports the NPRM.

Conclusion

    We have carefully reviewed the available data, including the
comment received, and determined that air safety and the public
interest require adopting the AD as proposed.

Costs of Compliance

    There are about 842 airplanes of the affected design in the
worldwide fleet. This AD affects about 459 airplanes of U.S. registry.
The detailed inspection takes about 1 work hour per airplane, at an
average labor rate of $80 per work hour. Based on these figures, the
estimated cost of this AD for U.S. operators is $36,720, or $80 per
airplane.

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 have 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 DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket. See the ADDRESSES
section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation.

Airworthiness Directives; Construcciones Aeronauticas, S.A.
(CASA), Model CN-235, CN-235-100, CN-235-200, and CN-235-300 Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD)
for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation
authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as:

    * * * As a consequence of cracks [that were originally] detected
on some CN-235 aircraft, in flap fittings P/N 35-15501-0101, -0102,
-0201 and -0202, attaching the structure of the outer flaps to their
rear supports and, in the adjacent structure, DGAC Spain issued AD
Nr. 01/97[.] * * *
    Since AD 1/97 Rev.1 was published, similar cracks have been
detected in flaps longerons. * * *
* * * * *

Fatigue cracking of the rear internal support fittings and longerons of
the outer flap structure could result in failure of the outer flaps,
and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane. We are issuing
this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe condition on these
products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective February 4, 2010.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of February 4,
2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on July 15, 2009 (74 FR
34272). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    As a consequence of cracks [that were originally] detected on
some CN-235 aircraft, in flap fittings P/N 35-15501-0101, -0102, -
0201 and -0202, attaching the structure of the outer flaps to their
rear supports and, in the adjacent structure, DGAC [Direcci[oacute]n
General de Aviaci[oacute]n Civil] Spain issued AD Nr. 01/97 which
required, pending the analysis of the problem, boroscopic
inspections of the attachment zones between both outer flaps to
their rear support. After concluding that process and based on the
investigation results, DGAC Spain issued AD Nr. 1/97 Rev.1 [which
corresponds to FAA AD 99-07-13] to require the replacement of the
outer flaps with new designed parts, as specified in EADS-CASA
Service Bulletin (SB) 235-57-20.
    Since AD 1/97 Rev.1 was published, similar cracks have been
detected in flaps longerons. EADS-CASA issued SB 235-57-20 Revision
1, extending the scope of the inspection to these flaps longerons,
instructing the drilling of holes to facilitate the inspection and
introducing an improved outer flap replacement kit that included a
new improved longeron. SB 235-57-20 Revision 2 has been issued to
add useful references and to update the applicability.
    For the reasons described above, this new EASA [European
Aviation Safety Agency] AD retains the requirements of DGAC Spain AD
Nr. 1/97 Rev.1, which is superseded, and confirms the approval of
additional outer flaps replacement options, as specified in
paragraph 2 E.2 of EADS-CASA SB 235-57-20 R2.

Fatigue cracking of the rear internal support fittings and longerons of
the outer flap structure could result in failure of the outer flaps,
and

consequent reduced controllability of the airplane. You may obtain
further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Comments

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

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

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

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 8 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 69 work-hours per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $80 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $193,603 per
product. Where the service information lists required parts costs that
are covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no
charge for these parts. As we do not control warranty coverage for
affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated
here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to the
U.S. operators to be $1,592,984, or $199,123 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify 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); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the
ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly
after receipt.

Adoption of the Amendment

0
Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the Administrator,
the FAA amends 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 Amendment 39-11098 (64 FR
15659, April 1, 1999) and adding the following new AD:

2009-26-14 CONSTRUCCIONES AERONAUTICAS, S.A. (CASA): Amendment 39-
16153. Docket No. FAA-2009-0637; Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-183-
AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective February
4, 2010.

Affected ADs

    (b) This AD supersedes AD 99-07-13, Amendment 39-11098.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to CASA Model CN-235, CN-235-100, CN-235-
200, and CN-235-300 airplanes, certificated in any category, all
serial numbers, if part number (P/N) 35-15501-0001, -0002, -0003, or
-0004, or P/N 35-A0736-0001 or -0002 outer flaps are installed.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 57: Wings.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:

    As a consequence of cracks [that were originally] detected on
some CN-235 aircraft, in flap fittings P/N 35-15501-0101, -0102, -
0201 and -0202, attaching the structure of the outer flaps to their
rear supports and, in the adjacent structure, DGAC Spain issued AD
Nr. 01/97 which required, pending the analysis of the problem,
boroscopic inspections of the attachment zones between both outer
flaps to their rear support. After concluding that process and based
on the investigation results, DGAC [Direcci[oacute]n General de
Aviaci[oacute]n Civil] Spain issued AD Nr. 1/97 Rev.1 [which
corresponds to FAA AD 99-07-13] to require the replacement of the
outer flaps with new designed parts, as specified in EADS-CASA
Service Bulletin (SB) 235-57-20.
    Since AD 1/97 Rev.1 was published, similar cracks have been
detected in flaps longerons. EADS-CASA issued SB 235-57-20 Revision
1, extending the scope of the inspection to these flaps longerons,
instructing the drilling of holes to facilitate the inspection and
introducing an improved outer flap replacement kit that included a
new improved longeron. SB 235-57-20 Revision 2 has been issued to
add useful references and to update the applicability.
    For the reasons described above, this new EASA [European
Aviation Safety Agency] AD retains the requirements of DGAC Spain AD
Nr. 1/97 Rev.1, which is superseded, and confirms the approval of
additional outer flaps replacement options, as specified in
paragraph 2 E.2 of EADS-CASA SB 235-57-20 R2.

Fatigue cracking of the rear internal support fittings and longerons
of the outer flap

structure could result in failure of the outer flaps, and consequent
reduced controllability of the airplane.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions.
    (1) For airplanes equipped with P/N 35-A0736-0001 or -0002 outer
flaps: Within 300 flight cycles after the effective date of this AD,
do a borescopic inspection to detect cracking of the outer flaps
fittings and longerons, in accordance with the Accomplishment
Instructions of EADS-CASA Service Bulletin SB-235-57-20, Revision 2,
dated March 30, 2007.
    (2) For airplanes equipped with P/N 35-15501-0001, -0002, -0003,
or -0004 outer flaps: At the earlier of the times specified in
paragraphs (f)(2)(i) and (f)(2)(ii) of this AD, do a borescopic
inspection to detect cracking of the outer flaps fittings; and
within 300 flight cycles after the effective date of this AD, do a
borescopic inspection to detect cracking of the longerons. Do the
inspections in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of
EADS-CASA Service Bulletin SB-235-57-20, Revision 2, dated March 30,
2007.
    (i) Within 600 flight cycles after the most recent inspection
done in accordance with AD 99-07-13, or within 14 days after the
effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later.
    (ii) Within 300 flight cycles after the effective date of this
AD.
    (3) If, during any inspection required by paragraph (f)(1) or
(f)(2) of this AD, no crack is detected, repeat the borescopic
inspections of the outer flap fittings and longerons in accordance
with the Accomplishment Instructions of EADS-CASA Service Bulletin
SB-235-57-20, Revision 2, dated March 30, 2007, thereafter at
intervals not to exceed 300 flight cycles or 6 months, whichever
occurs first, until the replacement specified in paragraph (f)(4) or
(f)(5) of this AD is accomplished.
    (4) If any crack is detected during any inspection required by
paragraph (f)(1), (f)(2), or (f)(3) of this AD, prior to further
flight, replace the outer flap with a new or retrofitted flap in
accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of EADS-CASA Service
Bulletin SB-235-57-20, Revision 2, dated March 30, 2007. Such
replacement constitutes terminating action for the repetitive
borescopic inspection required by this AD for the replaced outer
flap only.
    (5) For affected parts that have not been replaced in accordance
with paragraph (f)(4) of this AD: At the later of the times
specified in paragraphs (f)(5)(i) and (f)(5)(ii) of this AD, replace
each outer flap with a new or retrofitted outer flap in accordance
with the Accomplishment Instructions of EADS-CASA Service Bulletin
SB-235-57-20, Revision 2, dated March 30, 2007. Replacing all outer
flaps terminates the requirements of this AD.
    (i) Before the accumulation of 4,000 total flight cycles on the
flap.
    (ii) Within 1,200 flight cycles or 24 months after the effective
date of this AD, whichever occurs first.
    (6) Actions done before the effective date of this AD in
accordance with CASA Service Bulletin SB-235-57-20, dated December
23, 1997; or EADS-CASA Service Bulletin SB-235-57-20, Revision 1,
dated April 30, 2004; are acceptable for compliance with the
corresponding requirements of paragraph (f)(2) of this AD.

NOTICE OF ACTION TAKEN -- DOCKET OST 1996-1636

________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________

This serves as notice to the public of the action described below, taken
by the Department official indicated (no additional confirming order
will be issued in this matter).

Applicant:  CORPORACION AEREA CENCOR, S.A. de C.V.
          Date Filed:  October 22, 2003

Relief requested:  Exemption from 49 USC section 41301 to permit the
applicant to continue to conduct passenger charter operations between
Mexico and the United States, and other passenger charters in accordance
with 14 CFR Part 212, using small equipment.

If renewal, date and citation of last action:  November 21, 2002, in
this Docket.

Applicant representative:  Lee A. Bauer,<PHONE_NUMBER>          DOT

Responsive pleadings:  None.

	DISPOSITION

Action:  Approved
                                            Action date:  November 12,
2003

Effective dates of authority granted:  November 12, 2003, through
November 22, 2004

Basis for approval (bilateral agreement/reciprocity):  United
States-Mexico Air Transport Services Agreement of August 15, 1960, as
amended and extended (Agreement).

Except to the extent exempted/waived, this authority is subject to the
terms, conditions, and limitations indicated:

     X  Standard exemption conditions.

Special conditions/Partial grant/Denial basis/Remarks:  In the conduct
of these operations, the carrier must adhere to all applicable
provisions of the U.S.-Mexico Agreement.  In the conduct of these
operations, the carrier may only use aircraft capable of carrying no
more than 60 passengers and having a maximum payload capacity of no more
than 18,000 pounds (small equipment).  The above grant includes
authority to conduct Third and Fourth Freedom charter operations.  While
we have subjected, consistent with the provisions of the Agreement,
Mexican carriers conducting charter operations with large aircraft to
prior approval or submission of notice for their Third and Fourth
Freedom charters, we determined that any such requirement was not
necessary on public interest grounds in this case, since the carrier
will be conducting these operations solely with small aircraft.  (Other
charter operations to/from the United States under this authority,
however, are subject to prior approval under 14 CFR Part 212.)  Further,
we are continuing to allow Mexican carriers conducting passenger
charters using small equipment to make stopovers in the United States in
the conduct of such operations.

Action taken by:   Paul L. Gretch, Director

		      Office of International Aviation

________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR
Part 385, we found that (1) our action was consistent with Department
policy; (2) the applicant was qualified to perform its proposed
operations; (3) grant of the authority was consistent with the public
interest; and (4) grant of the authority would not constitute a major
regulatory action under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975.
To the extent not granted/deferred/dismissed, we denied all requests in
the referenced Docket.  We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority
granted in this Notice at any time without hearing at our discretion.

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of the action set
forth in this Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR
§385.30, may file their petitions within seven (7) days after the date
of issuance of this Notice.  This action was effective when taken, and
