Modification to Restricted Area R-5601F and Establishment of
Restricted Area R-5601J; Fort Sill, OK

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule, technical amendment.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends the restricted areas at Fort Sill, OK, to
subdivide R-5601F into two subareas, R-5601F and R-5601J, make a minor
correction to one boundary point in R-5601G, and to update and
standardize the using agency information for each restricted area in
the Fort Sill restricted area complex. The FAA is taking this action to
allow for more efficient use of the airspace during periods when
military activities only require the eastern portions of the restricted
area complex. The airspace modifications are fully contained within the
existing lateral and vertical boundaries of the Fort Sill, OK,
restricted airspace. The using agency information update to each of the
restricted areas in the Fort Sill complex is editorial only.

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, September 13, 2018.

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
the 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 amends existing restricted area R-5601F by subdividing
it into R-5601F and R-5601J, and updates the using agency information
for each of the restricted areas at Fort Sill, OK.

History

    R-5601F is an irregularly shaped restricted area in the Fort Sill,
OK, restricted area complex used to contain hazardous activities. It
connects the Military Operations Areas located to the north with the R-
5601 gunnery ranges located to the south and stretches the entire
length of the Fort Sill restricted area complex laterally from west to
east, from 500 feet above ground level (AGL) to Flight Level 400 in
altitude. The United States (U.S.) Army normally trains in the eastern
restricted areas, R-5601A, R-5601B, and R-5601F, while the U.S. Air
Force normally trains in the western areas, R-5601C, R-5601D, R-5601E,
R-5601F, and R-5601G. When the using agency only requires the eastern
areas to support its hazardous training activities, it results in the
R-5601F restricted area being activated across the entire northern
boundary of the restricted areas being activated, and creates a 14-mile
extension of restricted area airspace that is not needed for the
training activities being conducted.
    The activation of R-5601F, and the unintended consequences of the
14-mile extension of restricted area airspace extending westward beyond
the eastern Fort Sill restricted areas, primarily impacts the high
altitude commercial air carriers inbound to the Dallas-Fort Worth
metroplex area. Routing aircraft to overfly the R-5601F restricted area
results in descent delays that take aircraft off their optimized
descent profiles, and vectoring aircraft to circumnavigate the R-5601F
restricted area laterally to the west adds miles and flight time to
each aircraft. Additionally, these mitigations to overcome the unneeded
extension of the R-5601F restricted area when only the eastern Fort
Sill restricted areas are required also increases air traffic
complexity and controller workload.
    In December 2017, the FAA supported a U.S. Army laser air defense
exercise conducted at Fort Sill, OK, using existing permanent
restricted areas and two temporary restricted areas established
overhead the Fort Sill restricted area complex. As part of a lessons
learned review of the exercise, the FAA determined that subdividing the
existing R-5601F restricted area laterally into two restricted areas,
activated independently, would lessen aeronautical impacts to air
traffic operating in the central United States.
    Further, subdividing the existing R-5601F laterally into two
separate restricted areas enhances the efficient

use of the National Airspace System by providing for activation of the
minimum amount of restricted area airspace needed for hazardous
military training activities and releases unneeded restricted areas for
access by other airspace users.
    Lastly, while staffing this airspace action to subdivide R-5601F
laterally, the FAA also determined that one geographic point in the R-
5601G boundary information needed to be adjusted and the using agency
information needed to be updated in all of the restricted areas in the
R-5601 complex. The minor R-5601G boundary point change was deemed
necessary to ensure the accuracy of the shared boundaries with the two
new subdivided restricted areas and the using agency editorial updates
was necessary for clarity and standardization in all of the restricted
areas in the R-5601 complex.

The Rule

    This action amends 14 CFR part 73 by subdividing restricted area R-
5601F in the Fort Sill, OK, restricted area complex into two subareas,
R-5601F (amended) and R-5601J (new), divided laterally by a shared
boundary extending from lat. 34[deg]45'03'' N, long. 98[deg]29'44'' W
to lat. 34[deg]43'30'' N, long. 98[deg]35'40'' W. The subarea portion
of the current R-5601F established west of the shared boundary will
continue to be designated R-5601F, and the subarea portion established
east of the shared boundary will be designated R-5601J. This action
does not alter the existing lateral or vertical boundaries of the
restricted area airspace or the operations currently conducted in that
airspace. The subdivision of the current R-5601F restricted area
minimizes impacts to high altitude commercial air carriers inbound to
the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex area unnecessarily when only the
eastern R-5601 complex restricted areas are required for training by
the using agency at Fort Sill, OK.
    This action also makes a minor change to one geographic point in
the boundaries information listed in the R-5601G description due to
improved digital charting capabilities. This change ensures the
accuracy of the shared boundaries between restricted areas R-5601F and
R-5601J with R-5601G, and that all three restricted areas meet at the
same shared boundary point.
    Additionally, this action makes editorial changes to the using
agency information listed in each of the Fort Sill restricted area
descriptions for clarity and standardization. The using agency is
unchanged, but simply amended in the descriptions to reflect the
military unit responsible for ensuring the restricted areas are used
for their designated purpose, scheduling the restricted areas, and
coordinating the restricted area airspace use with the controlling
agency. The Fort Sill using agency concurs with this editorial update.
    These modifications do not change the current lateral boundaries,
designated altitudes, times of designation, or activities conducted
within the Fort Sill restricted area complex; therefore, notice and
public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.

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.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
Department of Transportation (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 only affects air traffic procedures
and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated,
does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action of amending the internal
subdivision of restricted area R-5601F within the Fort Sill, OK,
complex qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National
Environmental Policy Act and in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F,
Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5-6.5.d,
``Modification of the technical description of special use airspace
(SUA) that does not alter the dimensions, altitudes, or times of
designation of the airspace (such as changes in designation of the
controlling or using agency, or correction of typographical errors).''
This airspace action is an administrative change to the internal
subdivision of an existing restricted area within the Fort Sill, OK,
restricted area complex. It does not alter the dimensions, altitudes,
time of designation, or use of the airspace. Therefore, this airspace
action is not expected to result in any significant environmental
impacts. In accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5-2 regarding
Extraordinary Circumstances, this action has been reviewed for factors
and circumstances in which a normally categorically excluded action may
have a significant environmental impact requiring further analysis, and
it is determined that no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant
preparation of an environmental assessment or an environmental impact
study.

[ Miller Chemical and Fertilizer Corporation]

[ Insert petition number]

EPA has received a pesticide petition ([ insert petition number]) from [ Miller Chemical and Fertilizer Corporation], [ P. O. Box 333, 120 Radio Road, Hanover, PA 17331] 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.

Option 2 ( to establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for)

1. by establishing a tolerance for residues of 2. to establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for 2 [ polybutylene as a pesticide inert ingredient] in or on the raw agricultural commodities.. 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. Toxicological Profile [ As part of the EPA policy statement on inert ingredients published in the Federal Register ( 52 FR 13305, April 22, 1987), the Agency set forth a list of studies which would generally be used to evaluate the risks posed by the presence of an inert ingredient in a pesticide formulation. However, where it can be determined without the data that the inert ingredient will present minimal or no risk, the Agency generally does not require some or all of the listed studies to rule on the proposed tolerance or exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for an inert ingredient. Miller Chemical and Fertilizer Corporation believes that the data and the information described below are adequate to ascertain the toxicology and characterize the risk associated with the use of butene, homopolymer ( CAS Reg. No.: 9003 29 6) as an inert ingredient in pesticide formulations applied to growing crops and raw agricultural commodities after harvest.

In the case of certain chemical substances that are defined as " polymers" the EPA has established a set of criteria which identify categories of polymers that present low risk. These criteria ( codified in 40 CFR 723.250) identify polymers that are relatively unreactive and stable compared to other chemical substances as well as polymers thta rae not readily absorbed. These properties generally limit a polymer's ability to cause adverse effects. In addition, these criteria exclude polymers about which little is known. The EPA believes that polymers meeting the criterai noted beloe will present minimal or no risk.

Butene, homopolymer ( synonyms: polybutene, polyisobutylene, butene isobutylene copolymer) conforms to the definition of polymer given in 40 CFR 723.250( b) and meets the following criteria that are used to identify low risk polymers.

1. Polyisobutylene is not a cationic polymer, nor is it reasonably anticipated to become a cationic polymer in a natural acquatic environment.

2. Polyisobutylene contains as an integral part of its composition the atomic elements carbon and hydrogen.

3. Polyisobutylene does not contain as an integral part of its composition any elements other those listed in 40 CFR 723.250( d)( 2)( ii).

4. Polyisobutylene is not designed, nor is it reasonably anticipated to substantially degrade, decompose, or depolymerize. 3 5. Polyisobutylene is not manufactured or imported from monomers and/ or other reactants that are not already included on the Toxic Substances Control Act ( TSCA) Chemical Substance Inventory or manufactured under an applicable TSCA section 5 exemption.

6. Polyisobutylene is not a water absorbing polymer.

7. Polyisobutylene does not contain any group as reactive functional groups.

8. The minimum number average molecular weight of polyisobutylene is listed as 1100 daltons. Substances with molecular weights grater than 400 generally are not absorbed through the intact skin, and substances with molecular weights greater than 1,000 generally are not absorbed through the intact gastrointestinal ( GI) tract. Chemicals not absorbed through the skin or GI tract generally are incapable of of eliciting a toxic response.

9. Polyisobutylene has a number average molecular weight of 1100 and contains less than 2.5% oligomeric material below molecular weight of 500 and less than 24% oligomeric material below 1,000 molecular weight.

In addition, polybutylene ( synonyms: polyisobutylene; butene, homopolyemr and butene isobutylene copolymer) is approved by the Food and Drug Administration ( FDA) under 21 CFR for following food contact applications:

a) Polybutylene, also known as isobutylene butene copolymers, is cleared for use in contact with food under 21 CFR 177.1430. The specifications set forth in this regulation for isobutylene butene copolymers include molecular weight range ( 150 5000), viscosity range and maximum bromine values.

b) Polybutylene is approved under 21 CFR 175.125 for use as a component of release coatings on backings or linings for pressure sensitive adhesive labels for food contact applications.

c) Polybutylene is approved under 21 CFR 175.300 for use as a component of resinous and polymeric coatings for food contact surfaces.

d) Polybutylene is approved under 21 CFR 176.170 for use as a component of paper and paperboard in contact with aqueous and fatty foods.

e) Polybutylene is approved under 21 CFR 176.180 for use as a component of paper and paperboard in contact with dry foods.

f) Polybutylene is approved under 21 CFR 176.210 for use as a defoaming agent in the manufacture of paper and paperboard that come in contact with food. 4 g) Polybutylene is approved under 21 CFR 177.1520 for use as a plasticizer in polyethylene used in the manufacture of articles for food contact applications.

h) Polybutylene is approved under 21 CFR 177.1640 for use as a plasticizer in polystyrene used in the manufacture of articles for food contact applications.

i) Polybutylene is approved under 21 CFR 177.2800 for use as a component of textiles and textile fibers used in the manufacture of articles for food contact applications.

j) Polybutylene is approved for use in lubricants with incidental food contact under 21 CFR 178.3570.

k) Polybutylene is approved under 21 CFR 178.3710 for use as a component of articles that come in contact with food.

l) Polybutylene is approved under 21 CFR 178.3740 for use as a component of articles that come in contact with food.

The above regulations are applicable to polybutylenes manufactured from isobutylene and n butene as monomers ( complying with 21 CFR 177.1430). The FDA has also approved polybutylene for other food contact applications under 21 CFR 175.105 , 21 CFR 177.1420, 177.1520, 177.2260, and 178.3910. In other words, the FDA has determined that polybutylenes are safe to use in articles that come in contact with food.

Polybutylene is widely used as a cosmetic ingredient in personal care products. The Cosmetic Toiletry and Fragrance Association ( CTFA) evaluated the safety of polybutene for use in personal care products and found that it is safe to use in cosmetic products.

Polybutylene ( CAS Reg. No.: 9003 29 6) and all components of polybutylene are listed on the TSCA Chemical Substances Inventory.

Polybutenes are exempt from the requirement of a tolerance under 40 CFR 180.1037 for residues in or on the raw agricultural commodity:

a) Cottonseed when used as a sticker agent for formulations of the attractant gossyplure [ 1: 1 mixture of ( Z, Z) and ( Z, E) 7,11 hexadecadien 1 ol acetate] to disrupt the mating of the pink bollworm.

b) Artichokes when used as a sticker agent in multi layered laminated controlled release dispensers of ( Z) 11 hexadecenal to disrupt the mating of the artichoke plume moth.] 5 B. Aggregate Exposure:

[ Polybutylene and its formulations have been in commerce for more than 30 years. The copolymer is ubiquitous in our every day environment and it is commonly used in cosmetic formulations ( concentrations ranging from 1 to > 50%), adhesives, caulks, sealants, glazing compounds, coatings, lubricants, stretch wrap film and electrical cable insulation.

Although exposure to polybutylene may occur through dietary ( e. g., adhesives, lubricants and food wrappings) and non occupational ( e. g., electrical cable insulation) sources, the chemical characteristics of polybutylene lead to the conclusion that there is a reasonable certainty of no harm from aggregate exposure to this polymer.

The Agency has maintained that polymers meeting the polymer exemption criteria ( as described previously for polybutylene) will present minimal risk to human health when used as inert ingredients in pesticide products applied to food crops. EPA has also established exemptions from tolerance for polymeric materials used as pesticide inert ingredients that it considers to be intrinsically safe based on the fact that they are listed on the TSCA Inventory or meet the requirements of the amended TSCA polymer exemption and are thereby not subject to the requirements of the premanufacturing notification.

Given the existing widespread and historic use of polybutylene, any additional exposure resulting from the approval of polybutylene as an inert ingredient in pesticide formulations for use on growing crops or to raw agricultural commodities after harvest is not warranted.]

C. Cumulative Effects [ At this time there is no information to indicate that any toxic effects produced by polybutylene having a number average molecular weight of 1110 would be cumulative with those of any other chemical substance( s). Given the categorization of polybutylene as a " low risk polymer" ( 40 CFR 723.250) and its proposed use as an inert ingredient in pesticide formulations, there is no reasonable expectation of increased risk due to cumulative exposure]

D. Safety Determination 1. U. S. population. [ As a matter of policy, EPA has in the past established exemptions from tolerance for polymeric substances used as pesticide inert ingredients that it considers to be intrinsically safe based on the fact that they are listed on the TSCA Inventory or meet the requirements of the amended TSCA polymer exemption and are thereby not subject to the requirements of premanufacture notice ( PMN). The Agency has maintained that polymers meeting the polymer exemption criteria will present minimal risk to human health when used as inert ingredients in pesticide formulations applied to raw agricultural commodities.] 6 2. Infants and children. [ FFDCA section 408 provides that EPA shall supply an additional tenfold margin of safety for infants and children in the case of threshold effects where pre and/ or postnatal toxicity are found or there is incompleteness of the database , unless EPA concludes that a different margin of safety will be safe for infants and children. Margins of safety are incorporated into EPA risk assessments either directly through the use of margin of exposure ( MOE) analysis or through using uncertainty ( safety) factors in calculating a dose level that poses no appreciable risk to humans.

Due to the low expected toxicity of polybutylene, a safety factor analysis is not required for assessing the risk. For the same reasons the additional safety factor is unnecessary.]

F. International Tolerances [ Miller Chemical and Fertilizer Corporation is not aware of any country requiring a tolerance for polybutylene having a number average molecular weight of 1100. Nor have there been any CODEX Maximum Residue Levels ( MRLs) established for any food crops at this time. ]

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA is requesting nominations for voting
members to fill upcoming vacancies on the Blood Products Advisory
Committee.

I. General Description of the Committee Duties

    The Committee reviews and evaluates available data concerning the
safety, effectiveness, and appropriate use of blood, products derived
from blood and serum or biotechnology that are intended for use in the
diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of human diseases, and, as
required, any other product for which FDA has regulatory
responsibility. The Committee also advises the Commissioner of Food and
Drugs (the Commissioner) of its findings regarding screening and
testing (to determine eligibility) of donors and labeling of the
products, on clinical and laboratory studies involving such products,
on the affirmation or revocation of biological products licenses, and
on the quality and relevance of FDA's research program that provides
the scientific support for regulating these agents. The Committee will
function at times as a medical device panel under the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) Medical Device Amendments of 1976. As
such, the Committee recommends classification of devices subject to its
review into regulatory categories; recommends the assignment of a
priority for the application of regulatory requirements for devices
classified in the standards or premarket approval category; advises on
formulation of product development protocols and reviews premarket
approval applications for those devices to recommend changes in
classification as appropriate; recommends exemption of certain devices
from the application of portions of the FD&C Act; advises on the
necessity to ban a device; and responds to requests from the Agency to
review and make recommendations on specific issues or problems
concerning the safety and effectiveness of devices.

II. Criteria for Voting Members

    The Committee consists of a core of 17 voting members, including
the Chair. Members and the Chair are selected by the Commissioner or
designee from among authorities knowledgeable in the fields of clinical
and administrative medicine, hematology, immunology, blood banking,
surgery, internal medicine, biochemistry, engineering, biological and
physical sciences, biotechnology, computer technology, statistics,
epidemiology, sociology/ethics, and other related professions. Almost
all non-Federal members of this committee serve as Special Government
Employees. Members will be invited to serve for terms of up to 4 years.

III. Nomination Procedures

    Any interested person may nominate one or more qualified persons
for membership on the advisory committee. Self-nominations are also
accepted. Nominations must include a current, complete
r[eacute]sum[eacute] or curriculum vitae for each nominee, including
current business address, telephone number, and email address if
available and a signed copy of the Acknowledgement and Consent form
available at the FDA Advisory Nomination Portal (see ADDRESSES).
Nominations must specify the advisory committee for which the nominee
is recommended. Nominations must also acknowledge that the nominee is
aware of the nomination unless self-nominated. FDA will ask potential
candidates to provide detailed information concerning such matters
related to financial holdings, employment, and research grants and/or
contracts to permit evaluation of possible sources of conflicts of
interest.
    This notice is issued under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5
U.S.C. app. 2) and 21 CFR part 14, relating to advisory committees.

Airworthiness Directives; Pacific Aerospace Limited Airplanes

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

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
Pacific Aerospace Limited Models FU24-954 and FU24A-954 airplanes
modified with an unapproved hopper lid modification. This proposed AD
results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and
correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes
the unsafe condition as:

    Investigation of a recent Cresco 08-600 accident identified a
risk of the hopper lid interfering with the opening of the canopy in
the event of an emergency landing. The pilot was prevented from
opening the canopy by the hopper lid in the fully forward open
position. This AD is issued due to the fact that the hopper lid
installation on the accident aircraft was an unapproved modification
and the Fletcher FU24 hopper installation is a similar design to the
Cresco 08-600.

The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address the
unsafe condition described in the MCAI.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by October 24,
2011.

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

Discussion

    The Civil Aviation Authority, which is the aviation authority for
New Zealand, has issued AD DCA/FU24/180, dated July 28, 2011 (referred
to after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    Investigation of a recent Cresco 08-600 accident identified a
risk of the hopper lid interfering with the opening of the canopy in
the event of an emergency landing. The pilot was prevented from
opening the canopy by the hopper lid in the fully forward open
position. This AD is issued due to the fact that the hopper lid
installation on the accident aircraft was an unapproved modification
and the Fletcher FU24 hopper installation is a similar design to the
Cresco 08-600.

The MCAI requires reviewing the aircraft records, doing a conformity
inspection for an approved design hopper lid installation, and removing
the hopper lid installation, if not an approved design. You may obtain
further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of the Proposed AD

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

Differences Between This Proposed 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.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD will affect 1 product of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that it would take about 1 work-hour per
product to comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The
average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost
about $0 per product.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed AD on
U.S. operators to be $85, or $85 per product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions would
take about 6 work-hours and require parts costing $0, for a cost of
$510 per product. We have no way of determining the number of products
that may need these actions.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

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

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by

The Proposed Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    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]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

Pacific Aerospace Limited: Docket No. FAA-2011-0971; Directorate
Identifier 2011-CE-030-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by October 24, 2011.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Pacific Aerospace Limited Models FU24-954
and FU24A-954 airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any
category.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 52: Doors.

Reason

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

    Investigation of a recent Cresco 08-600 accident identified a
risk of the hopper lid interfering with the opening of the canopy in
the event of an emergency landing. The pilot was prevented from
opening the canopy by the hopper lid in the fully forward open
position. This AD is issued due to the fact that the hopper lid
installation on the

accident aircraft was an unapproved modification and the Fletcher
FU24 hopper installation is a similar design to the Cresco 08-600.

The MCAI requires reviewing the aircraft records, doing a conformity
inspection for an approved design hopper lid installation, and
removing the hopper lid installation, if not an approved design.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions within 150
hours time-in-service (TIS) after the effective date of this AD or
within 12 calendar months after the effective date of this AD,
whichever occurs first:
    (1) Review the aircraft records and determine whether a hopper
lid modification has been recorded. If a hopper lid modification has
been recorded, determine whether the aircraft was certified for
release to service after completion of the modification and whether
the applicable approved technical data (supplemental type
certificate (STC) or field approval) is referenced. Visually inspect
for an unapproved hopper lid modification.
    (2) If the hopper lid modification is an approved design, do a
conformity inspection and determine whether the hopper lid
modification conforms to the applicable approved technical data
(supplemental type certificate (STC) or field approval).
    (3) If the hopper lid modification is not an approved design
(STC or field approval), before further flight, remove the hopper
lid installation.

    Note 1: The Frontier-Aerospace Incorporated Models Fletcher FU-
24 and Fletcher FU-24A airplanes are U.S. type-certificated
airplanes and do not have this unsafe condition.

    Note 2: The basic hopper installation for the Pacific Aerospace
Limited Model FU24-954 airplane does not include a hopper lid due to
the canopy sliding partly over the hopper inlet. A separate approval
must be obtained to install a hopper lid.

FAA AD Differences

    Note 3: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information
as follows: No differences.

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (g) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
Standards Office, FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this
AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send
information to ATTN: Karl Schletzbaum, Aerospace Engineer, FAA,

mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Before using any approved AMOC on
any airplane to which the AMOC applies, notify your appropriate
principal inspector (PI) in the FAA Flight Standards District Office
(FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local FSDO.
    (2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain
corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these
actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered
FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority
(or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product
is airworthy before it is returned to service.

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 Bell Textron Canada
Limited Model 206L-1, Model 206L-3, and Model 206L-4 helicopters with
certain Air Comm Corporation air conditioning systems installed. The
NPRM published in the Federal Register on September 24, 2021 (86 FR
53015). In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require within 300 hours time-
in-service (TIS), and thereafter at intervals not to exceed 300 hours
TIS, gaining access to the drive ring spline teeth and the mating area
spline teeth on the oil cooler blower shaft, repetitively inspecting
the drive ring spline teeth and the mating spline teeth on the tail
rotor drive's oil cooler blower shaft for deformation and fretting, and
depending on the results of each inspection, removing certain parts
from service before further flight. The NPRM also proposed to require
reinstalling certain parts, and if required, reinstalling the drive
pulley by torqueing and aligning the drive pulley bolt holes.
    The FAA issued Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin SW-19-05
on April 4, 2019 (SAIB SW-19-05), to alert owners and operators of Bell
Textron Canada Limited Model 206L-1, 206L-3, and 206L-4 helicopters
with Air Comm Corporation's Supplemental Type Certificate (STC)
SH2750NM installed. SAIB SW-19-05 was prompted by reports of the air
conditioner pulley's locking system, which is installed on the oil
cooler drive shaft's splined quill, causing excessive spline tooth wear
to the drive ring spline teeth and the mating spline teeth on the oil
cooler blower shaft. SAIB SW-19-05 recommends following the inspection
instructions of certain Air Comm Corporation service information and
routinely inspecting the air conditioner pulley lock ring.
    At the time SAIB SW-19-05 was issued, the airworthiness concern was
not determined to be an unsafe condition that would warrant AD action
under 14 CFR part 39. However, subsequent investigations were not able
to determine whether the limited damaged observed on several oil cooler
blower shafts would remain localized or progress to a point where the
shaft is no longer safe for continued use. The FAA also later
determined that operators may have difficulty aligning the air
conditioning system's drive ring holes with the air conditioning
condenser drive pulley without leaving the condenser drive pulley
under-torqued. This condition, if not addressed, could result in a
failure of the oil cooler blower shaft, which could lead to loss of
tail rotor authority and subsequent loss of helicopter control.
    Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD for Bell Textron Canada
Limited Model 206L-1 and 206L-3 helicopters with Bell Model 206L1/L3
Service Instruction for Increased Gross Weight Upgrade Kit BHT-206-SI-
2052, Revision 1, dated October 14, 2010, installed and Bell Model
206L-4 helicopters equipped with one of the following Air Comm
Corporation STC SH2750NM air conditioning systems part number; 206EC-
204-1, 206EC-204-2, 206EC-208-1, 206EC-208-2, 206EC-210-1, 206EC-210-2,
206EC-210-3, 206EC-212-3 or 206EC-212-4. Helicopters with a 206L-1+
designation are Model 206L-1 helicopters and helicopters with a 206L-3+
designation are Model 206L-3 helicopters.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

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

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety
requires adopting this AD as proposed except for minor editorial
changes. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these helicopters.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed ACC Air Comm Corporation Service Bulletin SB
206EC-091119, Rev B, dated May 26, 2021 (SB 206EC-091119 Rev B), which
specifies procedures for visually inspecting the drive ring spline
teeth and the mating spline teeth on the tail rotor drive's oil cooler
blower shaft for deformation or fretting.
    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 Service Bulletin

    SB 206EC-091119 Rev B requires inspecting the air conditioning
compressor drive belt tension and the general condition of the drive
belt, drive pulley, and surrounding components, whereas this AD does
not. SB 206EC-091119 Rev B requires reporting any deformation or
fretting to Air Comm Corporation Service Department, whereas this AD
does not. SB 206EC-091119 Rev B provides an option to deactivate the
air conditioning system if deformation or fretting is found on the
drive ring or the oil cooler blower shaft assembly, whereas this AD
requires removing these parts from service instead.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects up to 100 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.
    Removing the tail rotor drive system's forward short shaft, spline
adaptor, and drive ring and visually inspecting the drive ring spline
teeth and the mating area spline teeth take about 1 work-hour for an
estimated cost of $85 per helicopter and $8,500 for the U.S. fleet per
inspection cycle.
    Replacing the drive ring takes about 3 work-hours and parts cost
about $300 for an estimated cost of $555 per replacement.
    Replacing the oil cooler blower assembly takes about 3 work-hours
and parts cost about $2,720 for an estimated cost of $2,975 per
replacement.
    Aligning each bolt hole and re-torqueing the drive pulley take
about 0.5 work-hours for an estimated cost of $43 per helicopter.

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: 6510, Tail Rotor
Drive Shaft.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by reports of deformation or fretting of
the spline teeth on the air conditioning system drive ring and on
the oil cooler blower shaft. The FAA is issuing this AD to detect
deformation and fretting. The unsafe condition, if not addressed,
could result in a failure of the oil cooler blower shaft, which
could lead to loss of tail rotor authority and subsequent loss of
helicopter control.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Required Actions

    Within 300 hours time-in-service (TIS) after the effective date
of this AD, and thereafter at intervals not to exceed 300 hours TIS:
    (1) Gain access to the drive ring spline teeth and the mating
area spline teeth on the oil cooler blower shaft by removing the
tail rotor drive system's forward short shaft and spline adaptor,
and the air conditioner system's drive ring. Refer to Figure 1 of
ACC Air Comm Corporation Service Bulletin SB 206EC-091119, Rev B,
dated May 26, 2021 for a depiction of each component's location.
    (2) Visually inspect the drive ring spline teeth and the mating
area spline teeth on the oil cooler blower shaft for deformation and
fretting.
    (i) If there is deformation or fretting on the drive ring spline
teeth, before further flight, remove the drive ring from service and
replace it with an airworthy part.
    (ii) If there is deformation or fretting on the mating area
spline teeth of the oil cooler blower shaft, before further flight,
remove the oil cooler blower assembly from service and replace with
an airworthy part.
    (3) Reinstall the drive ring, spline adapter, and the forward
short shaft. If the compressor drive pulley was removed, torque the
drive pulley to 200-300 in-lbs, increasing torque in this range to
align the four threaded holes with the through holes in the drive
ring. Do not back-off torque to align the bolt holes.

(h) Special Flight Permits

    Special flight permits are prohibited.

(i) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, Denver ACO, FAA, has the authority to approve
AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR
39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, send your request to your
principal inspector or local Flight Standards District Office, as
appropriate. If sending information directly to the manager of the
Denver ACO, send it to the attention of the person identified in
paragraph (j)(1) of this AD. Information may be emailed to: [email protected].
    (2) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate
principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager
of the local flight standards district office/certificate holding
district office.

TRANSATLANTIC ECONOMIC COUNCIL

EU proposals for early results by November 2007

Reduce unnecessary costs for transatlantic trade: recognition of

Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity for electrical and ICT

equipment

Most of the world relies on self-certification by manufacturers (backed
up by market

surveillance) for the safety of electrical equipment (including
information technology and

telecommunications equipment). The US is the only major economy that
requires third

party certification by Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories
(NRTLSs). This is

probably the single most burdensome entry barrier for European
electrical equipment and

appliances. The onerous US conformity assessment regime, which includes
repetitive

tests and factory audits, creates high costs for suppliers to the US
market without benefits

to consumers; available statistics show that Europe has a better track
record in electrical

accidents than the US.

This is a point of great interest both to European and American
manufacturers of

electrical equipment. A solution to this problem would generate annual
savings of EUR

1.3 bn for EU exporters alone and would have an even greater effect on
the US industry.

The regulator OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration)
considered the idea

of changing the US system to self-certification, but withdrew its
proposal in January

2007. During the meeting in Berlin, Al Hubbard’s team indicated that
Labour Secretary

Elaine Chao, who has the political responsibility for OSHA, might be
willing to help

finding a solution. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is
another agency

with jurisdiction over certain categories of electrical equipment.

Production and Airworthiness Approval, Part Marking, and
Miscellaneous Amendments; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is making certain corrections to the Certification
Procedures and Identification Requirements for Aeronautical Products
and Articles final rule published on October 16, 2009 (74 FR 53368).
The purpose of that final rule was to update and standardize those
requirements for production approval holders (PAHs), revise export
airworthiness approval requirements to facilitate global manufacturing,
move all part marking requirements from part 21 to part 45, and amend
the identification requirements for products and articles. In the
amendatory language and the preamble, we inadvertently referred to
incorrect paragraphs and text. This document corrects those errors.

DATES: These corrections, including a correction to the effective date
of the October 16, 2009, final rule, will become effective on April 14,
2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 16, 2009 (74 FR 53368), we published a final rule that
standardized, revised, and relocated certification procedures and
identification requirements in Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR), parts 1, 21, 43, and 45. The rule was necessary to further
promote safety by ensuring that aircraft and products and articles
designed specifically for use in aircraft, wherever manufactured, meet
appropriate minimum standards for design and construction.
    In Sec. Sec.  21.9(b) and (c) of the final rule, we inadvertently
referred to paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(4), when we should have
referred to paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2). When we added text to
reserved Sec.  21.122, in paragraph (a) we inadvertently stated ``An
applicant may obtain a production certificate for'' when we should have
stated ``A type certificate holder may utilize''. In Sec.  21.621, we
also inadvertently referred to the ``Issuance'' rather than the
``Issue'' of letters of TSO design approval: import articles.
    In final rule FR Doc. E9-24821 published on October 16, 2009 (74 FR
53368), make the following corrections:

A. Corrections to the Preamble

    1. On page 53368, in the first column, revise the Effective Date
section to read as follows: ``This rule is effective April 16, 2011,
except for the amendments to Sec. Sec.  1.1, 1.2, 21.183, 21.185,
21.195, 21.197, 21.223, 21.225, subparts L and N of part 21, and
Sec. Sec.  45.11 and 45.13, which are effective April 14, 2010.''
    2. On page 53375, in the first column, in the first paragraph of
section 6, Location of or Change to Manufacturing Facilities, remove
the words ``or physical changes'' from the first sentence, and remove
the word ``only'' from the last sentence.
    3. On page 53379, in the second column, in the first paragraph of
section 13, Persons Authorized to Perform Maintenance, Preventive
Maintenance, Rebuilding, and Alterations, remove the word ``only'' from
the last sentence.
    4. On page 53379, in the third column, in the second paragraph of
section 14, Statement of Conformity, remove the word ``special'' and
add in its place the word ``standard'' in the last sentence.
    5. On page 53380, in the first column, revise the first paragraph
of section C, Compliance Dates, to read: ``The effective and compliance
date for part 1; part 21, subparts H, I, L, and N; and part 45, subpart
B, Sec. Sec.  45.11 and 45.13 is 180 days after publication in the
Federal Register. The rule changes in these subparts are either cost
relieving or have no economic impact on industry. The changes do not
affect, and are not affected by, other changes to the rule. Therefore,
the compliance date is the same as the effective date. All other
portions of the final rule either promulgate new requirements or are
tied to other requirements that have an extended effective and
compliance date. These rule provisions have an effective and compliance
date of 18 months after publication in the Federal Register.''

B. Corrections to the Regulatory Text

    1. On page 53385, in the third column, in the amendment for Sec.
21.9:
    A. In paragraph (b), remove the words ``(a)(1) through (a)(4)'' and
add in their place the words ``(a)(1) and (a)(2)''; and
    B. In paragraph (c) introductory text, remove the words ``(a)(1)
