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 clarifies airspace designations by eliminating the redundancy.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (83 FR 8207; February 26, 2018) for Docket No. FAA-2017-1088
to remove Class E airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the
surface at Crows Landing Airport, Crows Landing, CA, as the airspace
already is contained within Class E en route airspace (see 82 FR 27988;
June 20, 2017). Interested parties were invited to participate in this
rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the
FAA. No comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11B, dated August 3, 2017, and effective September 15,
2017, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11B, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017, and effective September 15,
2017. FAA Order 7400.11B is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 removes Class E airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above
the surface at Crows Landing Airport, Crows Landing, CA. This airspace
is wholly contained within the Sacramento en route airspace area and
duplication is not necessary.

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 only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will 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 qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist

that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Summary of Information About the Project/Document

    Climate change is a global phenomenon that affects natural and
human systems in all parts of the world. The goal of this study was to
develop a way to inventory and analyze management decisions to provide
information to effectively adapt to climate change. This report will be
useful to officials who make environmental management decisions related
to the Chesapeake Bay.
    The major steps of the approach used in this pilot study of the
Chesapeake Bay Program were to: (1) Select a study area and compile a
list of key decisions; (2) develop criteria for evaluating the climate-
relevance of decisions; (3) apply the criteria to select decisions that
are potentially sensitive to climate change; (4) solicit expert
judgment regarding the decisions selected; and (5) test alternative
prioritization schemes.

II. Workshop Information

    Members of the public may attend the workshop as observers, and
there will be a limited time for comments from the public in the
afternoon. Please let ERG know if you wish to make comments during the
workshop. Space is limited, and reservations will be accepted on a
first-come, first-served basis.

    Dated: January 19, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

Does this action apply to me?

    This action is directed to the public in general, and may be of
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human
health, farm worker, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry;
pesticide users; and members of the public interested in the sale,
distribution, or use of pesticides. Since others also may be
interested, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific
entities that may be affected by this action. If you have any questions
regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity,
consult the pesticide specific contact person listed

under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.

II. Background

    Registration review is EPA's periodic review of pesticide
registrations to ensure that each pesticide continues to satisfy the
statutory standard for registration, that is, the pesticide can perform
its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on human
health or the environment. As part of the registration review process,
the Agency has completed interim decisions for all pesticides listed in
the Table in Unit IV. Through this program, EPA is ensuring that each
pesticide's registration is based on current scientific and other
knowledge, including its effects on human health and the environment.

III. Authority

    EPA is conducting its registration review of the chemicals listed
in the Table in Unit IV pursuant to section 3(g) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Procedural
Regulations for Registration Review at 40 CFR part 155, subpart C.
Section 3(g) of FIFRA provides, among other things, that the
registrations of pesticides are to be reviewed every 15 years. Under
FIFRA, a pesticide product may be registered or remain registered only
if it meets the statutory standard for registration given in FIFRA
section 3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)). When used in accordance with
widespread and commonly recognized practice, the pesticide product must
perform its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on
the environment; that is, without any unreasonable risk to man or the
environment, or a human dietary risk from residues that result from the
use of a pesticide in or on food.

IV. What action is the Agency taking?

    Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58, this notice announces the availability
of EPA's interim registration review decisions for the pesticides shown
in the following table. The interim registration review decisions are
supported by rationales included in the docket established for each
chemical.

chemicals in the table above were posted to the docket and the public
was invited to submit any comments or new information. EPA addressed
the comments or information received during the 60-day comment period
for the proposed interim decisions in the discussion for each pesticide
listed in the table. Comments from the 60-day comment period that were
received may or may not have affected the Agency's interim decision.

Discussion

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2019-0295, dated December 5, 2019
(referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness
Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for all
Airbus Helicopters Model AS332C, AS332C1, AS332L, and AS332L1
helicopters. EASA advises that there were reports of corrosion on
attachment screws and fittings fastening the rear MGB suspension bars,
right and left hand sides, to the fuselage, and the attachment screws
and fitting fastening the front MGB suspension bar to the fuselage.
Subsequent investigation determined that during maintenance visits of
an identified batch of helicopters between September 2012 and April
2019, application of compound sealant on MGB suspension bar attachment
screws may not have been accomplished using the approved maintenance
data. The EASA AD requires a one-time inspection of the affected parts,
and depending on findings, accomplishment of applicable corrective
actions. The compliance times vary depending on helicopter
configuration.
    For helicopters identified in Airbus Helicopters Alert Service
Bulletin AS332-53.02.05, Revision 1, dated March 2, 2020, the earliest
inspection compliance time is within 100 flight hours or 6 months after
the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first. For helicopters
identified in Airbus Helicopters Alert Service Bulletin AS332-53.02.07,
Revision 0, dated October 21, 2019, the earliest inspection compliance
time is within 100 flight hours after the effective date of this AD.
    For helicopters identified in Airbus Helicopters Alert Service
Bulletin AS332-53.02.05, Revision 1, dated March 2, 2020, the latest
initial inspection compliance time is within 3,800 flight hours or 3
years and 6 months, whichever occurs first, since the last maintenance
action at Airbus Helicopters Marignane. For helicopters identified in
Airbus Helicopters Alert

Service Bulletin AS332-53.02.07, Revision 0, dated October 21, 2019,
the latest initial inspection compliance time is within 3,800 flight
hours since last removal.
    The FAA is issuing this proposed AD to address corrosion on
attachment fittings and attachment screws for the MGB suspension bars.
This condition, if not addressed, could lead to structural failure of
the MGB attachment screws, resulting in detachment of MGB suspension
bars from the fuselage and subsequent loss of control of the
helicopter.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus Helicopters has issued Alert Service Bulletin AS332-
53.02.05, Revision 1, dated March 2, 2020; and Alert Service Bulletin
AS332-53.02.07, Revision 0, dated October 21, 2019. The service
information describes procedures for inspecting the attachment fittings
and attachment screws of the MGB suspension bars and their frame bores
for discrepancies and corrective actions. This inspection includes an
inspection of the attachment fittings and attachment screws of the MGB
suspension bars for corrosion and an inspection of the attachment
screws for evidence of sealing compound. The corrective actions include
replacing or repairing corroded parts and replacing screws that have
sealing compound on them. These documents are distinct since they apply
to different helicopter models in different configurations.
    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.

Other Related Service Information

    The FAA reviewed Airbus Helicopters Alert Service Bulletin AS332-
53.02.05, Revision 0, dated April 18, 2019. The service information
describes procedures for inspecting the attachment fittings and
attachment screws of the MGB suspension bars and their frame bores for
discrepancies and corrective actions.

FAA's Determination

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to the FAA's bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority,
the FAA has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
and service information referenced above. The FAA is proposing this AD
after evaluating all the relevant information and determining the
unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop on
other products of the same type design.

Proposed Requirements of This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information described previously. This proposed AD also
would require sending certain inspection results to the manufacturer.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects 12 helicopters of
U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with
this proposed AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
                          Labor cost                              Parts cost        product         operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16 work-hours x $85 per hour = $1,360........................              $0           $1,360          $16,320
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA estimates that it would take about 1 hour per product to
comply with the on-condition reporting requirement in this proposed AD.
The average labor rate is $85 per hour. Based on these figures, the FAA
estimates the cost of reporting the inspection results on U.S.
operators to be $85 per product.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control
number for the collection of information required by this proposed AD
is 2120-0056. The paperwork cost associated with this proposed AD has
been detailed in the Costs of Compliance section of this document and
includes time for reviewing instructions, as well as completing and
reviewing the collection of information. Therefore, all reporting
associated with this proposed AD is mandatory. Comments concerning the
accuracy of this burden and suggestions for reducing the burden should
be directed to Information Collection Clearance Officer, Federal
Aviation Administration, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177-
1524.

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

    The FAA 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) 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.

17 CFR Part 232

[Release Nos. 33-8956; 34-58584; 39-2458; IC-28381]

Adoption of Updated EDGAR Filer Manual

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) is
adopting revisions to the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and
Retrieval System (EDGAR) Filer Manual to reflect updates to the EDGAR
system. The revisions are being made primarily to support the rule
amendments made to mandate the electronic filing of information
required by Securities Act of 1933 Form D with the implementation of a
new Form D online application.
    In addition, the revisions also include updates to submission types
PREM14A, DEFM14A, PREM14C and DEFM14C to correctly process series and
class identifiers; updates to the EDGAR company name conformance rules;
updates to the EDGARLite Form TA-2 (Annual Report of Transfer Agent
activities filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to
correct the OMB expiration date displayed on the printed blank form, to
correct the order that the response fields for Question 1(h) (Full Name
of Registrant as stated in Question 3 of Form TA-1) and Question 3(a)
(Registrants Appropriate Regulatory Agency) are displayed on the
printed blank form, to make a response to Question 11(a)(i) (Date of
Database Search) optional and to prevent the submission of invalid
ASCII characters; updates to the EDGAR processing of series and classes
co-registrant filings; and the incorporation of the final U.S. GAAP
Taxonomies 1.0 into EDGAR.
    The revisions to the Filer Manual reflect changes within Volume I
entitled EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume I: ``General Information,'' Version
5 (September 2008) and Volume II entitled EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume
II: ``EDGAR Filing,'' Version 9 (September 2008). The updated manual
will be incorporated by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations.

DATES: Effective Date: September 24, 2008. The incorporation by
reference of the EDGAR Filer Manual is approved by the Director of the
Federal Register as of September 24, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Today we are adopting an updated EDGAR Filer
Manual, Volume I and Volume II. The Filer Manual describes the
technical formatting requirements for the preparation and submission of
electronic filings through the EDGAR system.\1\ It also describes the
requirements for filing using EDGARLink \2\ and the Online Forms/XML
Web site.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ We originally adopted the Filer Manual on April 1, 1993,
with an effective date of April 26, 1993. Release No. 33-6986 (April
1, 1993) [58 FR 18638]. We implemented the most recent update to the
Filer Manual on June 12, 2008. See Release No. 33-8926 (June 4,
2008) [73 FR 33298].
    \2\ This is the filer assistance software we provide filers
filing on the EDGAR system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Filer Manual contains all the technical specifications for
filers to submit filings using the EDGAR system. Filers must comply
with the applicable provisions of the Filer Manual in order to assure
the timely acceptance and processing of filings made in electronic
format.\3\ Filers should consult the Filer Manual in conjunction with
our rules governing mandated electronic filing when preparing documents
for electronic submission.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Rule 301 of Regulation S-T (17 CFR 232.301).
    \4\ See Release Nos. 33-6977 (February 23, 1993) [58 FR 14628],

in which we announced that, as of January 1, 1998, we would not
accept in paper filings that we require filers to submit
electronically; Release No. 34-40934 (January 12, 1999) [64 FR
2843], in which we made mandatory the electronic filing of Form 13F;

[73 FR 33298] in which we implemented EDGAR Release 9.10.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In support of the adopted rule amendments mandating the electronic
filing of information required by Securities Act of 1933 Form D \5\
through the Internet, EDGAR Release 9.13 will be implemented on
September 15, 2008. EDGAR Release 9.13 will implement a new Form D
online application that will allow filers to create and submit Form D
and Form D amendment filings electronically to the Commission. The Form
D online application can be accessed from the EDGAR OnlineForms/XML Web
site (https://www.onlineforms.edgarfiling.sec.gov) by logging in and
selecting the ``File Form D'' link. Filers can also log in by clicking
the ``Would you like to File a Form D?'' link from the EDGAR Portal Web
site (http://www.portal.edgarfiling.sec.gov).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Release No. 33-8891 (February 6, 2008) [73 FR 10592].
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Use of the new Form D online application requires EDGAR access
codes (e.g., CIK (filer ID number), CCC (filer ID number confirmation
code) and password). Filers that have a CIK, but have previously filed
with the Commission in paper only must use the ``Convert Paper Only
Filer to Electronic Filer'' function on the EDGAR Filer Management Web
site (https://www.filermanagement.edgarfiling.sec.gov) to be converted
to an

electronic filer prior to using the Form D application (See EDGAR Filer
Manual--Volume I, section 3.3.1 for details). For those filers that
have never been assigned a CIK, they must apply for EDGAR access codes
via the EDGAR Filer Management Web site (See EDGAR Filer Manual--Volume
I, section 3.2 for details) prior to using the new Form D online
application.
    EDGAR Release 9.13 will include updates to submission types
PREM14A, DEFM14A, PREM14C and DEFM14C to correctly process series and
class identifiers. Target funds that are series and class investment
companies must use these submission types for those proxy mergers for
which the acquiring fund does not file a registration statement on Form
N-14; PREM14A, DEFM14A, PREM14C and DEFM14C must include the relevant
series and class identifiers for both the target and the acquiring fund
(if in existence). Filers must download the updated EDGARLink
Submission Template 2 to ensure PREM14A, DEFM14A, PREM14C and DEFM14C
submissions are processed successfully.
    The EDGAR conformed name values applied to the following words have
been updated (See EDGAR Filer Manual--Volume I, Appendix C, section C.5
for details).

    The EDGARLite Form TA-2 (Annual Report of Transfer Agent activities
filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) is being updated
to correct two errors that occur when the ``Check to show blank form
for printing'' option is checked on the form: (1) The OMB expiration
date displayed will be corrected to be ``September 30, 2009'' and (2)
the response fields for Question 1(h) (Full Name of Registrant as
stated in Question 3 of Form TA-1) and Question 3(a) (Registrants
Appropriate Regulatory Agency) will be correctly displayed under the
appropriate question. Note that the OMB expiration date and Questions
3(a) and 1(h) display correctly on the EDGARLite TA-2 submission
template if the ``Check to show blank form for printing'' option is not
selected. Form TA-2 will also be updated to make Question 11(a)(i)
(Date of Database Search) optional. Data fields on Form TA-2 that allow
the entry of text were updated to accept only valid ASCII characters
(See EDGAR Filer Manual--Volume II, sections <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS> for
details). Filers must download the updated EDGARLite TA-2 Submission
Template from the EDGAR OnlineForms Web site to ensure that TA-2
submissions will be processed successfully. Previous versions of the
templates will not work properly.
    EDGAR Release 9.12, implemented on June 23, 2008, updated EDGAR
processing for all submission types that require series and class
(contract) identifiers to suspend co-registrant filings unless at least
one series and one class (contract) identifier associated with the
respective co-registrant CIK is included in the submission for each
respective co-registrant (i.e., the filing must include at least one
series and class (contract) identifier for the primary co-registrant
and at least one series and class (contract) identifier for each of the
other co-registrants); increased the maximum number of co-registrants
acceptable per submission to 999; and incorporated the final US GAAP
Taxonomies version 1.0 into EDGAR.
    Notice of the updates has previously been provided on the EDGAR
Filing and OnlineForms/XML Filing Web site and on the Commission's
public Web sites. The discrete updates are reflected on the EDGAR
OnlineForms/XML Filing Web site and in the updated Filer Manual, Volume
I and Volume II.
    Along with adoption of the Filer Manual, we are amending Rule 301
of Regulation S-T to provide for the incorporation by reference into
the Code of Federal Regulations of today's revisions. This
incorporation by reference was approved by the Director of the Federal
Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51.
    You may obtain paper copies of the updated Filer Manual at the
following address: Public Reference Room, Securities and Exchange
Commission, 100 F Street, NE., Room 1580, Washington, DC 20549, on
official business days between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. We will
post electronic format copies on the Commission's Web site; the address
for the Filer Manual is http://www.sec.gov/info/edgar.shtml. You may
also obtain copies from Thomson Financial, the paper document
contractor for the Commission, at<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Since the Filer Manual relates solely to agency procedures or
practice, publication for notice and comment is not required under the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA).\6\ It follows that the requirements
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act \7\ do not apply.

    The effective date for the updated Filer Manual and the rule
amendments is September 24, 2008. In accordance with the APA,\8\ we
find that there is good cause to establish an effective date less than
30 days after publication of these rules. The EDGAR system upgrade to
Release 9.13 is scheduled to become available on September 15, 2008.
The Commission believes that establishing an effective date less than
30 days after publication of these rules is necessary to coordinate the
effectiveness of the updated Filer Manual with the system upgrade.

Airworthiness Directives; BAE SYSTEMS (OPERATIONS) LIMITED
Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all BAE
SYSTEMS (OPERATIONS) LIMITED Model BAe 146, and Avro 146-RJ series
airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report of loss of the end caps on
the anti-icing piccolo tube of the wing leading edge. This AD requires
a detailed inspection of the end caps on the anti-icing piccolo tube
for lost or loose end caps, and replacing or repairing the end caps if
necessary. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct lost and loose
end caps on the anti-icing piccolo tube, and ice accretion on the wing
leading edge or run-back ice, which could lead to a reduction in the
stall margin on approach and loss of controllability of the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective March 8, 2013.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of March 8,
2013.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov or in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor,

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 October 4, 2012 (77
FR 60651). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information
(MCAI) states:

    An operator reported the loss of the wing leading edge anti-
icing piccolo tube end caps on two aircraft. This was discovered
during routine zonal inspections when the wing tips were removed.
The loss of the end cap would result in a reduction in anti-icing
efficiency, over the outboard portion of the leading edge of that
wing, affecting approximately 25% of the wingspan towards the wing
tip.
    The System Safety Analysis (SSA) classifies the loss of anti-
icing of both of the outer wings as hazardous if the loss is not
indicated to the crew. The loss of a piccolo tube end cap would not
be indicated to the flight crew and, therefore, this reduction in
anti-icing capability on one wing must also be classified as
hazardous.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could result in
ice accretion on the wing leading edge, or run-back ice and could
lead to a reduction in the stall margin on approach together with a
reduction in roll control authority.
    For the reasons described above, this [European Aviation Safety
Agency (EASA)] AD [2012-0003, dated January 6, 2012] requires a one-
off [detailed] inspection [for lost and loose end caps] of the
piccolo tube end caps. The results of this inspection will be used
to establish a suitable repeat inspection period, which will be
introduced through the Maintenance Review Board (MRB) process.

The corrective action is replacing or repairing the end caps if
necessary. You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in
the AD docket.

Clarification of ``No Reporting Requirement'' Paragraph

    Paragraph (i) of the NPRM (77 FR 60651, October 4, 2012) refers to
EASA AD 2012-0003, dated January 6, 2012. However, we have revised
paragraph (i) of this AD to refer to BAE SYSTEMS (OPERATIONS) LIMITED
Inspection Service Bulletin ISB.30-025, dated April 19, 2011, because
that service bulletin is the appropriate source of service information
for doing the actions required by this AD.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (77 FR 60651, October 4,
2012) 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--except for
minor editorial changes and clarification of paragraph (i) of this AD.
We have determined that these minor changes:

     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (77 FR 60651, October 4, 2012) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 60651, October 4, 2012).

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 2 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 2 work-hours per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of
this AD to the U.S. operators to be $340, or $170 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 that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    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 (77 FR 60651, October 4,
2012), 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
